This series has been created to contain a variety of records created by Majorca Primary School No. 764, and identified as permanent in Public Record Office Standard 88/2 General Disposal Schedule for Schools Records.

For various reasons, some of the permanent records identified in the Schedule may not have survived. The records actually transferred in this series were collected by the Education Department after the final closure of the school and as such are understood to be the only remaining records known to exist. Also, some schools were subject to periods of temporary closure. For further information about this school, please refer to the relevant entry in Vision and Realisation. A Centenary History of State Education in Victoria (1973).

Contents

The following records were identified as permanent in the Disposal Schedule. The attached records description list will identify which of these records were located and transferred for this school.

Administration records - detailing the organisation of the school's operations, specifically;

files of official correspondence which relate to matters specific to the school as received from either the Education Department or elsewhere. Files documenting general instructions or circulars from the Department have been culled and destroyed.
a copy of the school newsletter
diaries of the school principal or head teacher
the school's investment register.

Pupil records - The master record of student attendance in primary schools is the register of pupils. It records the pupil's name, dates of birth and admission, name, address and occupation of parent or guardian, schools previously attended, grades admitted, summary attendance record for each year spent at the school and destination after finally leaving the school.

Pupil detail is entered into this register from admission forms completed by parents prior to the admission or, in the case of transfers from other State schools, from transfer notes completed by the previous school. Some or all of these records have been retained if some or all of the pupil registers created by this school have not been located.

Pupil reports may also be found in this series but only if the school created and retained copies.

Inspection records - comprising reports created by Departmental inspectors in the course of annual and supplementary visits. Inspections (and comments) are made regarding the condition of the school grounds, buildings, furniture and record keeping, school organisation, standard of instruction, time and discipline, teacher accommodation and audits of the sale of text books supplied by the Department. Reports were made by the inspector in the inspectors report book for the school. Since about 1980 these have been made in school review reports which were retained by the Department.

School committees records documenting their organisation and operation. These include Mother's Club, Parent's Associations, Safety House Committees and other committees associated with the school community. Specific records for transfer are:

minute books
correspondence files, and
annual financial statements.

School Council records documenting its organisation and operation. School Councils date from 1983 and comprise the School Principal, and representatives of the teaching staff, parents and the wider community. Councils are responsible for the determination of the general educational policy of the school within guidelines issued by the Minister. Councils are also responsible for a range of other matters including the condition of the school grounds and buildings (including the organisation of maintenance, improvement and cleaning work), forming opinions about the school's conduct and management and other duties prescribed by regulations. Between 1910 - 1983 all of these responsibilities except for the determination of school policy resided with the School Committee. Specific records for transfer are:

minute books
correspondence files
annual financial statements, and
policy records.

Records created by the former School Committee and sub-committees of the Council may also be included.

Contents: additional records

This series may also contain records additional to those identified in the disposal schedule. This will be due to either or both of the following factors:

records were transferred to PRO or Education Department custody prior to the issue of the schedule. In addition to the above records, the following records were usually retained;

attendance roll and examination register
teacher's absence register
teacher's time book
teacher's record of collections
corporal punishment register
accident registers, and
inward and outward transfer notes.

records not included in the disposal schedule. These may include the following records;

photographs, videos or films of pupils, teaching staff, school buildings and school activities/events
other school publications such as student/staff bulletins, yearbooks and teacher handbooks, and
records pertaining to unique events in the school's history such as openings, reunions, anniversaries or closures.

In some instances the series may include an Education Department (VA 714) file titled "Closed School File". This file documents the disposal of school assets (eg buildings, land), the revocation of school reserves and/or other activities associated with the closure of a school by the Department.

In 2012, the School Certificate was discontinued and replaced by the Record of School Achievement (RSA). The RSA is a record of a student’s achievements from Year 10 until they leave school.

Data Notes:

• Data shows the number of Year 10 students in NSW government schools that completed the mandatory courses for an RSA. However, some courses may have been completed when the students were in Year 7, 8 or 9.

• Students need to complete the mandatory requirements for Stage 5 (Year 10) to be eligible for a RSA.

• In 2023, the Total columns include non-binary students. These students are unable to be reported separately due to system limitations.

The number of post-secondary students in Poland increased compared to the previous year, reaching a record number of over ******* students in the 2023/2024 school year.

As of the academic year 2024/25, the Ambrose Alli University in Nigeria had the highest number of registered students in terms of full-time equivalents worldwide, reaching 536,277. The Tribhuvan University in Nepal and the Payame Noor University in Iran, which followed on the places behind, had approximately 484,000 and 458,000 registered students, respectively. A high number of the universities with the highest number of students in the world are located in Egypt.

Japan JP: Pupil-Teacher Ratio: Upper Secondary data was reported at 10.392 % in 2015. This records an increase from the previous number of 10.365 % for 2014. Japan JP: Pupil-Teacher Ratio: Upper Secondary data is updated yearly, averaging 11.423 % from Dec 1994 (Median) to 2015, with 19 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 13.852 % in 1994 and a record low of 10.365 % in 2014. Japan JP: Pupil-Teacher Ratio: Upper Secondary data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Japan – Table JP.World Bank: Education Statistics. Upper secondary school pupil-teacher ratio is the average number of pupils per teacher in upper secondary school.; ; UNESCO Institute for Statistics; Weighted Average; Each economy is classified based on the classification of World Bank Group's fiscal year 2018 (July 1, 2017-June 30, 2018).

Overall attendance data include students in Districts 1-32 and 75 (Special Education). Students in District 79 (Alternative Schools & Programs), charter schools, home schooling, and home and hospital instruction are excluded. Pre-K data do not include NYC Early Education Centers or District Pre-K Centers; therefore, Pre-K data are limited to those who attend K-12 schools that offer Pre-K. Transfer schools are included in citywide, borough, and district counts but removed from school-level files. Attendance is attributed to the school the student attended at the time. If a student attends multiple schools in a school year, the student will contribute data towards multiple schools. Starting in 2020-21, the NYC DOE transitioned to NYSED's definition of chronic absenteeism. Students are considered chronically absent if they have an attendance of 90 percent or less (i.e. students who are absent 10 percent or more of the total days). In order to be included in chronic absenteeism calculations, students must be enrolled for at least 10 days (regardless of whether present or absent) and must have been present for at least 1 day. The NYSED chronic absenteeism definition is applied to all prior years in the report. School-level chronic absenteeism data reflect chronic absenteeism at a particular school. In order to eliminate double-counting students in chronic absenteeism counts, calculations at the district, borough, and citywide levels include all attendance data that contribute to the given geographic category. For example, if a student was chronically absent at one school but not at another, the student would only be counted once in the citywide calculation. For this reason, chronic absenteeism counts will not align across files. All demographic data are based on a student's most recent record in a given year. Students With Disabilities (SWD) data do not include Pre-K students since Pre-K students are screened for IEPs only at the parents' request. English language learner (ELL) data do not include Pre-K students since the New York State Education Department only begins administering assessments to be identified as an ELL in Kindergarten. Only grades PK-12 are shown, but calculations for "All Grades" also include students missing a grade level, so PK-12 may not add up to "All Grades". Data include students missing a gender, but are not shown due to small cell counts. Data for Asian students include Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders . Multi-racial and Native American students, as well as students missing ethnicity/race data are included in the "Other" ethnicity category. In order to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulations on public reporting of education outcomes, rows with five or fewer students are suppressed, and have been replaced with an "s". Using total days of attendance as a proxy , rows with 900 or fewer total days are suppressed. In addition, other rows have been replaced with an "s" when they could reveal, through addition or subtraction, the underlying numbers that have been redacted. Chronic absenteeism values are suppressed, regardless of total days, if the number of students who contribute at least 20 days is five or fewer. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting shift to remote learning in March 2020, 2019-20 attendance data was only available for September 2019 through March 13, 2020. Interactions data from the spring of 2020 are reported on a separate tab. Interactions were reported by schools during remote learning, from April 6 2020 through June 26 2020 (a total of 57 instructional days, excluding special professional development days of June 4 and June 9). Schools were required to indicate any student from their roster that did not have an interaction on a given day. Schools were able to define interactions in a way that made sense for their students and families. Definitions of an interaction included: • Student submission of an assignment or completion of an assessment, in whichever manner the school is collecting • Student participation in an online forum, chat log, or discussion thread • Student/family phone call, email or response to teacher email • Phone, email, and/or other digital communication with a family member which confirms student interaction/engagement • Other evidence of participation as determined by the principal. Interactions data are attributed to students' school of record on a given day. A student participating in a Shared Instruction (SHIN) model may have recorded interactions at multiple schools on a given day, but only one record is counted for the interaction rate, attributed to students' school of record for that day. Due to the shift to hybrid learning, attendance data for the 2020-21 school year include both in-person and remote instruction. Total days, days absent, and days present fields include both in-person and remote attendance.

There were approximately 18.58 million college students in the U.S. in 2022, with around 13.49 million enrolled in public colleges and a further 5.09 million students enrolled in private colleges. The figures are projected to remain relatively constant over the next few years.

What is the most expensive college in the U.S.? The overall number of higher education institutions in the U.S. totals around 4,000, and California is the state with the most. One important factor that students – and their parents – must consider before choosing a college is cost. With annual expenses totaling almost 78,000 U.S. dollars, Harvey Mudd College in California was the most expensive college for the 2021-2022 academic year. There are three major costs of college: tuition, room, and board. The difference in on-campus and off-campus accommodation costs is often negligible, but they can change greatly depending on the college town.

The differences between public and private colleges Public colleges, also called state colleges, are mostly funded by state governments. Private colleges, on the other hand, are not funded by the government but by private donors and endowments. Typically, private institutions are  much more expensive. Public colleges tend to offer different tuition fees for students based on whether they live in-state or out-of-state, while private colleges have the same tuition cost for every student.

Function

This series has been created to contain a variety of records identified as permanent in Public Record Office Standard 88/2 General Disposal Schedule for Schools Records.

For various reasons, some of the permanent records identified in the Schedule may not have survived. The records actually transferred in this series were collected by the Education Department after the closure of VA 3787 Oakleigh Secondary College (No.7285; previously known as Oakleigh Technical School) and as such are understood to be the only records known to exist.

Contents

The following records were identified as permanent in the Disposal Schedule. The attached records description list will identify which of the records were located and transferred from this school.

Administration records - detailing the organisation of the school's operations, specifically;

files of official correspondence which relate to matters specific to the school as received from either the Education Department or elsewhere. Files documenting general instructions or circulars from the Department have been culled and destroyed.
a copy of the school newsletter
diaries of the school principal or head teacher
the school's investment register.

Pupil records - Although the schedule specifies the permanent retention of a register of pupils, few secondary schools maintained a master record of enrolled pupils in this form. Recordkeeping practice varied but two general trends are apparent. The first is a form or card based system which summarises basic student information such as pupil's name, dates of birth and admission, name, address and occupation of parent or guardian, schools previously attended, grades admitted and destination after leaving the school. The second variation contains broadly the same detail but also incorporates a record of grades received by the student whilst at the school. For some schools such a record is in the form of specially printed pages or cards known as the pupils individual record, which are generally bound together to form a volume. This suggests that the creation of such a record was required for a period of time, however, more research is needed in this area.

Pupil detail will have been entered into such records from admission forms completed by parents prior to the admission or, in the case of transfers from other State schools, from transfer notes completed by the previous school. Some or all of these records may have been retained if some or all of the pupil registers created by this school have not been located.

It also appears that the master student record for some schools has been the student file. This file will frequently contain the admission form, transfer notes, copies of pupil reports and other documentation relating to the student's career at the school. These have been retained in some instances.

Pupil reports not held within the student file may also be found in this series but only if the school created and retained copies.

Inspection records - comprising reports created by Departmental inspectors in the course of annual and supplementary visits.

School committees records documenting their organisation and operation. These include Mothers Club, Parents Associations, Safety House Committees and other committees associated with the school community. Specific records designated for transfer are:

minute books
correspondence files, and
annual financial statements.

School Council records documenting its organisation and operation. School Councils date from 1983 and comprise the School Principal and representatives of the teaching staff, parents and the wider community. Councils are responsible for the determination of the general educational policy of the school within guidelines issued by the Minister. Councils are also responsible for a range of other matters including the condition of the school grounds and buildings (including the organisation of maintenance, improvement and cleaning work), forming opinions about the school's conduct and management and other duties prescribed by regulations.

* photographs, videos or films of pupils, teaching staff, school buildings and school activities/events
* other school publications such as student/staff bulletins, yearbooks and teacher handbooks, and
* records pertaining to unique events in the school's history such as openings, reunions, anniversaries or closures.
