This study was embarked upon as an assessment of school principals’ assertiveness on the school attendance of Nigerian female students living and working as maids. Eight research questions and eight null hypotheses guided the study. The survey research design was utilized for the study. The target population was the 257 school principals in the six education zones in Anambra State, Nigeria. Simple random sampling was utilized in selecting four education zones for the study, out of which 96 principals were selected as the sample of the study. A questionnaire was used to elicit information from these school principals and 82 of them duly filled and returned theirs. The research questions were answered using the statistical mean, while the null hypotheses were tested using the t-test statistic at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that that male principals did not have any knowledge of female students who work as housemaids or engage in commercial activities when they should be in school, and that both rural and urban school principals had limited knowledge of female students who work as maids in homes or in commercial ventures, among others. The hypotheses testing revealed that male and female school principals’ knowledge of students who work housemaids or engage in commercial activities significantly differed, and also there was no significant difference in rural and urban location response ratings of school principals on their enforcement of school attendance for housemaids and female students used as labour in commercial activities. It was recommended that principals should show more interest in the personal lives of their students, as this could be contributory to their absenteeism from school, and that government should come out with a whitepaper on school attendance, the flouting of which would lead to sanctions against offending masters and mistresses of female students who work as maids in homes and in commercial ventures.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Introduction
The Celebrating Cultural Diversity (CCD) Program is part of the inclusive commitment
to all students studying in the School of Education at the University of South Australia. In
Australia, professional experience placements form a significant component of a pre-service
teacher’s (PST) study programme. In principle, it is the professional experience that enables
PSTs to apply and test concepts they have learnt in the university in a real life educational
context.
However, for many PSTs, the assessed professional experience practicum can be
rewarding, as well as stressful and challenging. There are challenges that PSTs have to learn
from their individual experiences (such as behaviour management issues of students, the
lack of respect for PSTs, and problems with communicating their mentor teachers etc). These
challenges are further intensified for international PSTs because of their cultural and
language differences, previous education experiences, limited understanding of Australian
teaching and learning styles and the various curricula used in early years, primary and
secondary settings.
The CCD program aims to support international PSTs through on-campus workshops
designed to build support networks, provide knowledge about the Australian educational context
and landscape, and to share the experiences of international PSTs who have successfully studied at
UniSA. The most beneficial component of the CCD program is the unique opportunity to engage in
site visits in children’s centres, kindergartens, primary schools or secondary schools without the
pressure or added stress of being assessed. These site visits allow international PSTs to see first-hand
what an Australian educational setting looks like, and to learn from teachers, staff and children
about what is expected of PSTs on their professional experience placements.

The on-campus workshops are designed to help students to form relationships with other
international PSTs who are studying in their programs, as well as other students from different
programs with similar concerns and experiences. The focus for each workshop is detailed below. The
first three workshops are held on consecutive Thursdays between 1-3pm in G1-52 on Magill Campus,
with the final debrief and celebration workshop held at the end of Study Period 2.
Workshop 1 (2 March):

Getting the most out of the CCD experience
Site Visits
In the CCD Program you have the unique opportunity to experience an informal and non-
assessed series of site visits at a children’s centre, kindergarten, primary school, or secondary school
(depending on your program focus). Each site visit will involve you observing the overall context of
an Australian educational site, interacting with educators and children, helping with daily routines
and practices where possible, and learning about the experience of being an educator in Australia.
The first site visit is scheduled for Thursday 23 March. The other 3 site visits are to be
completed between then and the end of Week 8 of Study Period 2 (Friday 5 May). These three visits
are to be negotiated between students and their site coordinators and should not impact on
attendance for any other required university activities such as lectures, tutorials, or professional
experience placements.
5. Journal
An important skill to develop as an educator is to critically reflect on your own practice and
learning. You will be required to write one page of reflections after each site visit, responding to
these guiding ideas:
Visit 1:
The first thing I learned…
Questions I asked on the first day…
Visit 2:
What I learned today…
What teacher/children did today…
Questions I asked today…
Visit 3:
What I learned today…
What teacher/children did today…
Questions I asked today…
Visit 4:
What I learned during my site visits…
The most important things I learned
about children…
The most important things I learned
about teachers…
Questions that I still have about
teaching…
Expectations
While the CCD Program is not compulsory, students are expected to attend each on-campus
workshop and site visit. Data has indicated that students who take the opportunities presented by
CCD develop skills and knowledge for success in assessed professional experience placements that
follow. Many past students have been invited back to their sites to do volunteer work, or paid
employment. It is your best interests to take the opportunities that the CCD Program presents.
Students will be required to act in a professional manner and follow the expectations of the site
coordinator. Confidentiality and respectful interactions with educators, children, and families is
expected as you are representing the University of South Australia.
To protect children in South Australia, all educational sites such as children’s centres,
kindergartens, and schools require staff, volunteers and visitors to follow strict requirements when
attending their sites. All PSTs must have their Criminal History Screening document from DCSI, and
have completed the 7 hour Responding to Abuse and Neglect training prior to attending site visits
for the CCD program. These documents will need to be shown to site coordinators on the first visit.
The CCD team looks forward to working with you in 2017 and supporting you in your initial
experiences in becoming an educator at UniSA.
