This chapter deals with senior secondary school practices, which for most systems means the teaching of students aged between 15 and 18 years. This sector of mathematics education has come under increased scrutiny as more students are staying on after their junior secondary school time and as access to higher education has developed dramatically over the past decade. Rather than attempting to survey world-wide practices, an impossible task in itself, the authors have chosen to focus on four topics with which to analyse the trends, developments, and issues. |
