The document summarizes the education system in the United States. It describes the three main types of schools as public, private elementary, and private secondary. It explains that elementary education is from ages 6-7 and covers core subjects like English, math, science, and history. Students then attend secondary school/high school from ages 16-18, where they can select specialized subjects based on their interests. The US prioritizes education and aims to develop students' social skills through extracurricular activities at school.

FACTS SCHOOL INTEGRATION
The Benefits of Socioeconomically and Racially Integrated Schools and
Classrooms

Research shows that racial and socioeconomic diversity in the classroom can provide students with a range of cognitive and
social benefits. And school policies around the country are beginning to catch up. Today, over 4 million students in America are
enrolled in school districts or charter schools with socioeconomic integration policies—a number that has more than doubled
since 2007.
Here’s why the growing momentum in favor of diversity in schools is good news for all students:
Academic and Cognitive Benefits
On average, students in socioeconomically and racially diverse schools—regardless of a student’s own economic status—have
stronger academic outcomes than students in schools with concentrated poverty.
Students in integrated schools have higher average test scores. On the 2011 National Assessment of Educational
Progress (NAEP) given to fourth graders in math, for example, low-income students attending more affluent schools scored
roughly two years of learning ahead of low-income students in high-poverty schools. Controlling carefully for students’
family background, another study found that students in mixed-income schools showed 30 percent more growth in test
scores over their four years in high school than peers with similar socioeconomic backgrounds in schools with concentrated
poverty.
Students in integrated schools are more likely to enroll in college. When comparing students with similar
socioeconomic backgrounds, those students at more affluent schools are 68 percent more likely to enroll at a four-year
college than their peers at high-poverty schools.
Students in integrated schools are less likely to drop out. Dropout rates are significantly higher for students in
segregated, high-poverty schools than for students in integrated schools. During the height of desegregation in the 1970s
and 1980s, dropout rates decreased for minority students, with the greatest decline in dropout rates occurring in districts
that had undergone the largest reductions in school segregation.
Integrated schools help to reduce racial achievement gaps. In fact, the racial achievement gap in K–12 education closed
more rapidly during the peak years of school desegregation in the 1970s and 1980s than it has overall in the decades that
followed—when many desegregation policies were dismantled. More recently, black and Latino students had smaller
achievement gaps with white students on the 2007 and 2009 NAEP when they were less likely to be stuck in high-poverty
school environments. The gap in SAT scores between black and white students continues to be larger in segregated
districts, and one study showed that change from complete segregation to complete integration in a district could reduce as
much as one quarter of the current SAT scor ...

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. • Education in the
USA drastically
differs from
many other
countries. There
are 50 states in
the country and
each of them
has its own
peculiarities.
3. There is a certain
pattern of education in
the USA, which
comprises into three
types of schools: public
school, private
elementary school and
private secondary
school. Only public
schools are free and
they have their own
system in each state.
Private schools,
depending on the area,
require a certain fee.
4. A school year starts in September and ends
in June. It is divided into three terms or four
quarters.
5. Elementary education
is available from the
age of six or seven.
The main school
subjects at this stage
are English, Arithmetic,
Natural Sciences,
History of the USA,
Geography, Physical
Training and several
others. Besides
learning English, many
schoolchildren choose
to study different
foreign languages.
6. Children study at
Elementary school till
they are 16. After that,
they can go to
secondary school,
which is also known as
high school. Many high
schools offer selective
subjects for those
students who want to
enter a specific college
or university after
school graduation.
7. The high schools are
generally larger and
accommodate
teenagers from four or
five elementary
schools. During the
school year the
students study four or
five selective subjects
according to their
professional interests.
They must complete a
certain number of
courses to receive a
high school diploma or
a certificate of school
graduation.
8. In order to develop social
skills and encourage
students’ participation in
extracurricular activities
every high school has an
orchestra, a music band, a
choir, drama groups,
football, basketball and
baseball teams. School
becomes the centre of
social life for students
10. The National Government gives no direct
financial aid to the institutions of higher
education. Students must pay a tuition fee. This
creates a financial hardship for some people.
Many students have to work to pay their
expenses. The Americans place a high value on
education. That’s why Kennedy said, “Our
progress as a nation can be no swifter than our
progress in education”.
