This line is not divided into branches; allstudents follow the same course of instructionin both grades.

The purpose of the instruction is to equipthe students with the general knowledge andskills required for various duties in agriculture.

A compulsory option (see time schedule)makes it possible for the student to choose,according to personal preference, a theoreticalsubject to be taken for at least one schoolyear.

A student taking the instruction and ac-tivities compulsory for this line thereby takesa complete course of studies.

A student can also take one or moresubjects over and above the complete courseof studies, in which case he or she is said totake an augmented course of studies.

A student having appreciable difficulties inone or more subjects can be exempted fromnot more than two compulsory subjects, inwhich case he or she is said to take areduced course of studies.

Distribution of subjects in grade 1

The pie chart shows the timeallocations for different subjects ingrade 1. The time allocations foranimal production, plant cultivation andagricultural economics are increasedin grade 2 (see time schedule). Effortsare made to integrate the varioussubjects.

P.E. = Physical educationRes. period = Reserve periodErg. = Ergonomics

The characteristic subjects of this line are

animal production

plant cultivation

agricultural machinery and maintenanceof buildings

agricultural economics.

Instruction in animal production is aimedamong other things at equipping the studentswith basic knowledge and skills concerningmilk and milking, livestock anatomy andphysiology, the feeding and care of differentlivestock species, livestock breeding andagricultural buildings.

Plant cultivation includes instruction inagricultural biology, soil treatment,fertilization, cultivation, care and storage.This instruction is also designed to give thestudents basic skills in performing varioustasks involved by plant cultivation.

Agricultural machinery and maintenanceof buildings includes instruction concerningelements of machinery and tools, tractors,agricultural implements, power saws,electrical equipment and the maintenance ofbuildings. This instruction is also designed toteach the students to make proper use ofagricultural machinery and to keep it in goodcondition. The students also learn to performnormal maintenance operations on buildingsused in farming.

Agricultural economics deals among otherthings with environmental conservation,consumer education, financial planning in thefarming enterprise and various types ofproduction, and bookkeeping and tax returns.Data collected and summarized from theschool farm and other sources providedocumentation on which to base calculatingand accounting practice.

The teaching of skills is divided intoproductive and non-productive instruction.Non-productive instruction is organized insuch a way that the students work at variouslearning places in livestock pens, machinerygarages, practice driving areas and practicefields. In this way they learn to drive tractors,plough, sow, spray crops, operate a combineharvester, milk dairy cattle and feed bothcattle and swine. Great importance isattached to the students learning to read andinterpret directions and instructions and toimplement various safety and securityregulations.

Productive instruction then provides thestudents with an opportunity of putting intopractice the knowledge which they haveacquired at the various learning places andwhich is required for the proper discharge oftheir duties.

In the course of this instruction the pupilslearn the importance of planning andorganizing their work properly.

Marks Marks are awarded for all subjects exceptwhere otherwise indicated. No marks areawarded, however, for working life orien-tation. Instead a note is made to the effectthat the student has ”Participated”.

Marks are awarded on a five-point scale,5 being the maximum award.

1The number of periods allotted may very according tothe optional subject taken in grades 1 and 2 and apossible free option in grade 2.

Free option implies that the student may exchange avocational subject for a subject belonging to another lineor branch. For example, a student taking English as anoptional subject in grades 1 and 2 can acquire generaleligibility for post-secondary education by takingSwedish for 3 periods per week (120 lessons) as a freeoption in grade 2.

2 Reserve periods are applied to purposes not having adirect bearing on any of the other subjects included inthe line of studies.Examples: educational and vocational orientation,industrial and social affairs, cultural questions.

3At least one of these optional subjects has to be takenfor up to 3 periods per week for at least one school

year. The student may exchange the optional subject forwork technique during one of the two grades.

B-language = German or French when taken by thestudent at compulsory school.

C-language = a foreign language first studied at uppersecondary school - German or French (Finnish incertain cases).

Note: The time allocations given in the time schedulerefer to the total number of lessons for 40 workingweeks per grade.

Further remarks. The net number of lessons will besmaller, due among other things to the loss of timeentailed by public holidays, days off etc. The number ofperiods is also affected by the optional subjects chosenby the students; cf. note 1. For these various reasons,the exact loss of time cannot be computed.

After studies On completion of their instruction, studentsshould be able to perform satisfactorily theduties commonly occurring in both plantcultivation and livestock farming, as well asusing and maintaining the machinery and im-plements used in modern farming andcarrying out elementary planning.

It is to be expected that the students willhave to acquire a certain amount of practicaljob experience before attaining fullprofessional competence.

Students acquiring a certain amount of

job experience after their basic training can,for example, undergo further training in theform of a 40-week farm management course,a 20-week short-term farm managementcourse or a 20-week animal productioncourse. Certain short-term specializedcourses, such as care of machinery (12weeks) and agricultural economics (10weeks) can be applied for immediately oncompletion of basic training.

BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION LINE

Content


The pie chart shows the time al-locations for different subjects ingrade 1. The time allocation for thecharacteristic subject of this line,building and construction techniques,is increased in grade 2; see timeschedule. Efforts are made tointegrate the various subjects.P.E. = Physical educationRes. period = Reserve period.

Marks

The characteristic subject of this line is

building and construction techniques

which comprises work technique andvocational theory as indicated in the timeschedule.

During grade 1, work technique is taughtat learning places in school workshops, withthe students individually following workinginstructions in an ascending order ofdifficulty. Instruction is built up round thevarious materials, tools, machines andmeasuring instruments which the studentswill be using in their future trades. Thestudents also learn to read and interpretdrawings, tables and charts, to study workinginstructions and to practice systematicallyfollowing the same, as well as learning toimplement safety and security regulations.

During the introductory weeks of grade 1,in the common sector of the 13t, Tg, Mr andGa branches, the students receive basictraining in the use of tools and materials.Most of the first year, however, is devoted tocombined exercises in the teaching itemsconstituting the teaching subject building andconstruction techniques; see time schedule.

During grade 2, the students then

receive training in the specialized branches oftheir choice: Concrete Workers, BuildingJoiners etc.

Instruction in the Vv, MI, Pi and Gobranches is specialized on a branch basisthroughout grade 1.

In several branches, instruction in worktechnique during grade 2 is based on externalworkplaces (e.g. practice building sites) inorder for the students to have an opportunityof doing independent work in realisticconditions and at the same time learning toco-operate with fellow workers in their ownand other trades.

Work technique instruction during grade 2in the Vv, Mi and Pi branches alternatesbetween school and external workplaces.

In the practical part of the instruction, thestudents form various groups to deal withassignments aimed among other things atgiving them practice in the team work whichoccurs at a workplace. They are enabled totry their hand at being I safety delegates',taking charge of tools, machinery, facilitiesand so forth.

Each branch has its distinctive charac-teristics and focus. The list following the timeschedule indicates the operations dominatingeach individual branch.

Marks are awarded for all subjects exceptwhere otherwise indicated. No marks areawarded for working life orientation, however.Instead a note is made to the effect that thestudent has "Participated".

Marks are awarded on a five-point scale,the maximum award being 5.

Free option implies that the student may exchange avocational subject for a subject belonging to anotherline or branch. For example, a student taking English asan optional subject in grades 1 and 2 can acquiregeneral eligibility for post-secondary studios by takingSwedish for 3 periods per week (120 lessons) as a freeoption in grade 2.

3 Reserve periods are applied to purposes not having adirect bearing on any of the other subjects included inthe line of studios.Examples: educational and vocational orientation,industrial and social affairs, cultural questions.

4 At least one of these optional subjects has to betaken for up to 3 periods per week for at least oneschool year. The student may exchange the optionalsubject for work techniques during one or the twogrades.



Note: The time allocations given in the time schedulerefer to the total numbers of lessons for 40 workingweeks per grade.

Further remarks. The not number of lessons will besmaller, due among other things to the loss of timeentailed by public holidays, days off etc. The number ofperiods is also affected by the optional subjects chosenby the students; cf. note 2. For these various reasons,the exact loss of time cannot be computed.


After studies The purpose of this line is to confer basicknowledge and skills for work in the buildingand construction sector. Students are aboveall prepared for employment with firmsengaged in building activities and in thespecialized branches for employment withvarious types of craft enterprises, such asfirms of painters, plumbing enterprises, firmsof building platers and flooring enterprises.

When the student leaves school andstarts work, his or her practical training willcontinue at the workplace, the usual

procedure being for a period of appren-ticeship to be completed under an appren-ticeship agreement.

This line also provides a foundation forfurther training and education in the buildingand construction sector.

Students completing the Concrete Branch(130, the Streets, Roads and ConduitsBranch (Ge) and the Mining and MetallurgyBranch (136 can, for example, apply foradmission to an advanced specialized coursein road engineering and construction.

clothing manufacturing


The first year's teaching in clothingmanufacturing is centred round certain typesof garment and begins with the studentspractising the basic techniques of sewing byhand and machine and of pressing.

Instruction concerning the various types ofgarment begins with a demonstration of thegarment concerned. This is accompanied bya review of the vocational theory involved.

In principle the instruction is conducted insuch a way that during the first school yeareach student produces 2-4 garments of eachtype. One of these garments may be bespokeand fitted, but the main emphasis is onunfitted garments.

Instruction also deals with various clothingmaterials, material production methods, theproperties of material and the handling ofmaterial.

The students also learn to designpatterns, take measurements, calculatematerial requirements etc., and they practisecutting out.

As will be seen from the presentation inthe time schedule, instruction is also given indraughtmanship and the history of costume.


Instruction in grade 2, just as in grade 1,centres round certain types of garment.

Instruction during this grade is conductedin such a way that in principle the studentsproduce 4-6 garments within each category.Roughly equal amounts of time are devotedto fitted and unfitted garments, a great deal ofthe former work being done on a bespokebasis.

In the branch for women’s clothing, in-struction in pattern design, cutting out andmanufacturing focusses on such garmentsas blouses, dresses and coats.

In the branch for men’s clothing, in-struction in pattern design, cutting out andmanufacturing focusses on such garmentsas jackets, blazers, trousers, waistcoats andovercoats.

• hygiene and care

• consumer information.

Students completing this branch can alsoapply for the Diet and Dietary EconomicsProgramme and the Home EconomicsTeacher Training Programme at post-secondary level.

Studies in the Consumer EducationBranch with Textile Bias can lead to

employment in arts and crafts, weavingworkshops and interior furnishing enterprises.After a certain amount of practical activity, thestudent can undergo further training, forexample, as an adviser or business managerin arts and crafts, weaving and interiordesign. Given supplementary sewinginstruction, this branch can take the place ofthe previous training required for admission tothe Textile Teacher Programme atpost-secondary level.

The Restaurant and Catering Branch canlead to employment in institutional catering,for example in hospitals, schools, self-servicerestaurants and personnel canteens. Studiesin this branch also provide a good foundationfor further training in the sector.

business economicstypingdistribution skills/office skills.

In their studies of business economicsthe students acquire the basic knowledgewhich every employee in clerical and com-mercial or administrative sectors shouldpossess. They study the way in whichdifferent enterprises are organized and howthey work, and they are taught accountingand bookkeeping routines. Instruction alsoincludes a review of different methods ofmarketing goods and services and practice inelementary mathematical calculations inproblem fields concerning businesseconomics.

In their studies of typing in grade 1, thestudents are to learn correct typing techniqueas per SIS standard. They also practicetranscription from dictation machines, andthey perform fair copy and duplicatingexercises.

Studies of distribution skills includeamong other things purchasing routines,warehousing, marketing (of both goods andservices), various forms of sale at wholesaleand retail levels, shop design, goods displayand transport. This instruction also coverspractical aspects of printing, display,advertisement design etc.

The teaching subject entitled office skillscovers the function and environment ofoffices, aids to internal and externalcommunication and for other purposes,reprography, filing and planning; practical

exercises are included on these variouspoints.

Instruction also includes practice in theuse of calculating aids and a review of varioustypes of office rationalization, e.g. formstandardization and EDP.

Distribution Branch in grade 2

Instruction in this branch focusses on dutiesin connection with goods distribution and theprocurement of services in banking, travelagencies and insurance companies etc. Thetheoretical and practical knowledge acquiredby the students during their school instructionis deepened by means of 18 periods perweek of distribution practice within firms onan in-house basis. The greater part of thispractice period is devoted to all-round trainingin various departments.

Clerical Branch in grade 2

Instruction in this branch focusses entirely onvarious kinds of office work. Students canchoose between a machine calculatingvariant including 3 ppw machine calculatingand machine accounting, and a typewritingvariant including extra typing instruction forthe corresponding number of periods perweek.

In this branch too, students apply theirtheoretical knowledge to practical work inenterprise. This takes the form of 18 ppwoffice practice (in-house training). Thegreater part of this practice is devoted toall-round training in various departments.

which all students take in grade 1, with thepossibility of continuing with one of themduring grade 2.

Swedish and English business cor-respondence are studied as part of Swedishand English.

Economic education is mainly provided inthe form of business economics. Its purposeis to equip the students with the basicknowledge which every employee in theclerical and commercial sector or theadministrative sector ought to possess.

The students study work within thevarious functions of an enterprise, such aspurchasing, marketing, finance and ad-ministration. This subject is also intended toconvey a general picture of the enterpriseand its role in society.

In typing and office skills the students aregiven basic training in typing and machinecalculation. They also study the functioning ofthe office, its personnel and environment,form procedures, filing and reprographic aids,EDIP and external and internalcommunications.

1 In some schools shorthand can be exchanged foradditional typing and office skills (under an experimentalscheme in progress since 1 st July 1978).

In shorthand the students learn theelements of independent shorthand notation,Swedish dictation and the transcription ofshorthand notes. Those who choose to takeshorthand in grade 2 naturally acquirebroader knowledge and further practice.

In these studies, great importance is alsoattached to developing the students'communicative skills, for example inlanguages (English being taken by allstudents) and in mathematics.

The student can take a second foreignlanguage in the form of an optional subject(see time schedule).

The purpose of language teaching is toincrease the students' ability to understandthe spoken and written language and todevelop their practical command of thelanguage.

In mathematics the students are taught anumber of elementary concepts in the theoryof probability and in statistics, they practicethe use of calculation aids, and they areacquainted with the uses of mathematics inthe economic sphere.

Students choosing to take mathematics ingrade 2 acquire further knowledge whichamong other things includes instruction insuch matters as the theory of probability andlogarithms.

food technology


This instruction is divided into branchesfrom the first year. lts purpose is to providethe students with knowledge and skillsrelating to the preparation and production offoodstuffs, both as a craft and on anindustrial scale.

In the Restaurant and Catering Branch,students learn among other things to prepareand serve meals and they study forms ofaccommodation and the care and tending ofmachinery and equipment in catering facilitiesand in restaurants and hotels.

In the Food Production Branch, studentslearn, for example, about baking andbutchering, the manufacture of dairy,chocolate, brewing and tinned products, andthe care and tending of food manufacturingequipment. Students in both these brancheslearn to implement directions, rules andregulations concerning foodstuffs andhygiene.

In order to give the students a realisticpicture of their work, instruction in worktechnique and vocational theory usually takesplace at what are termed learning places.

Instruction here is usually based on aparticular job, working method or product,with the students performing tasks whichthey will encounter in their future careers.


Restaurant Service Variant

In this variant students learn among otherthings various principles and methods forserving food and drink, various forms ofservice, table laying and table arrangements,and in this connection they study thefunctioning, use and care of material,equipment and serving premises. Variouspractical exercises enable the students toacquire proficiency in serving operations andto practise various serving systems. Someinstruction can be based on a restaurantoutside the school, so as to make theseexercises as realistic as possible.

Catering VariantInstruction in this variant is designed toconvey knowledge and proficiency relating tofood production in the catering trade. Amongother things the students learn the importanceof a properly balanced diet, large-scalemethods of cooking and preserving, theprinciples of rational cookery and the use ofcatering machinery and utensils. Practicalexercises of various kinds enable thestudents to acquire proficiency in cooking forlarge numbers. Just as in the Restaurant Ser-vice Variant, this instruction can be partlybased on an external work point.

Restaurant Variant

In this branch the students learn, for ex-ample, various cookery methods and in thisconnection the commonest standard dishes.They are also familiarized with the principlesof rational cookery, arrangement anddispensing, the composition of menus andthe storage and care of foodstuffs as well asthe use of convenient food products. Here asin the Restaurant Service and CateringVariants, the students' practical exercisescan be partly based on a work point awayfrom school.

Baking and Pastry-making Variant

The purpose of instruction in this branch is toequip the students with knowledge andproficiency relating to the production ofdifferent types of bread and pastries, such asbread and buns, biscuits, large and smallcakes and so on. Among other things thestudents learn both manual and mechanizedworking methods, packaging, storage andrefrigeration and deep-freezing of variousconvenient food products. Most instruction isprovided at school but can be wholly or partlybased on a work point away from school.

Butchers Variant

Instruction in this variant is designed to equipthe students with knowledge and skillsrelating to the preparation of various meatproducts. Among other things the studentslearn how to butcher and joint various typesof meat, various methods for the productionof cured meats and, in this connection,salting, smoking and boiling, various methodsof storage and the use and care of utensils,apparatus and machinery.

The students also receive basic instructionconcerning cookery and packaging methods.Most instruction is provided at school but canbe wholly or partly based on a work pointaway from school.

mechanical engineering

forestry production

logging

in mechanical engineering the studentslearn, for example, how various forestrymachines and implements are designed andhow they are to be used. They also learn tocarry out repairs and servicing jobs on thesemachines and implements.

Instruction in this subject includes suchitems as engines, hydraulics, vehicle studies,manual implements (motorized andnon-motorized), machinery, and repairs andservicing.

Great importance is attached to enablingthe students to perform realistic exercises ondifferent machines and implements and thusteaching them to read and interpret directionsand instructions and to implement varioussafety and security regulations.

Forestry production includes suchteaching items as soil science, botany,economic geography for forestry, and theplanting and tending of stands. Among otherthings the students learn in the course of thisinstruction the importance of the soil as afactor in forest growth and ways of improvingoutput. They learn to identify different typesof damage to growing timber, together withmeans of prevention and cure, and they alsolearn to make use of forestry planning.

The students spend a great deal of theirtime on practical exercises of various kinds inauthentic surroundings. Work of

this kind includes, for example, soil andvegetation surveys, investigations concerningthe influence of various chemical substanceson forestry, the clearing of falling areas,planting and marking.

Logging includes such items as planning,felling, transport and forestry rationalization.The students practise drawing up detailedplans for small felling areas and carrying outfelling operations of different kinds, they learnto drive forestry machines of different kindsand to draw up elementary financial estimateswith reference to current forestry agree-ments.

Practical exercises are often arranged insuch a way that students plan fellingoperations, clear the felling area beforeterminal felling takes place, fell the timber andthen plant new stands, all these variousoperations being performed in one and thesame area.

-The purpose of making the students workin a single area in this way is to inculcate anappreciation of the interdependence of thevarious operations and to demonstrate theimportance of correct planning.

Instruction in measurement and woodtechnology enables the students to learn howto calculate the volume and estimate thequality of different stands and species, to layoff timber into log lengths and to identifycommon types of damage to timber.

In nature conservancy the studentsreceive instruction in matters concerningenvironment conservation, landscapeconservancy and game and fish conser-vancy.

Marks Marks are awarded for all subjects exceptwhere otherwise indicated. No marks areawarded, however, for working life orien-tation. lnstead a note is made to the effectthat the student has ”Participated”.

Distribution of subjects

The pie chart shows the time allo-cations for different subjects in thetwo grades. Almost half the students'time is devoted to music subjects.

Social subjects = history and civics.Music subjects = introduction to thehistory of music, general theory ofmusic, movement, instruments andsinging, choral singing, ensembleperformance, freely chosen musicwork.Other subjects = physical education,reserve period, optional subject.


Introduction to the history of music

General theory of music

Movement

Instruments and singing

Choral singing

Ensemble performance

Freely chosen music work

The introduction to the history of music givesthe students a general knowledge of thehistory of music. Among other things thisknowledge is intended to be a help to thestudents in their own music making. The roleof music in society, pest and present, is animportant element in studies of the history ofmusic.

Active listening, singing and playing areimportant features of the instruction. Themusical quotations on which instruction in thesubject is based are taken from both soundrecordings and live music.

The students study the main periods inthe history of western music down to our ownage, and they also study the music of one ormore non-European civilizations. A selectionis made of one or two areas which may beparticularly interesting.

The students are also trained to analysemusical compositions so as to be able toidentify their style, period and century, andperhaps also their composer.

The general theory of music is taught ona laborative basis. The students practiselistening and reproduction, vocally andinstrumentally. They work with notation andpractise its interpretation, as well as creatingtheir own music on a given basis.

All students, even those not intending tobecome pianists, are trained to use the pianoas an aid and support.

The knowledge acquired by the studentsin their studies of the general theory of musicare applied in their practical music making.

In their studies of movement, the studentslearn to express music, poetry, moods etc.They practise folk dances from othercountries, formal dancing and populardancing. They also practise the improvisationof movements to music.

Vocal and instrumental tuition is providedindividually and in groups of variable size.Students can be taught up to threeinstruments. Singing tuition can replace oneinstrument. At the same time

as they learn to play and sing, the studentspractise the use of notation.

Students in grade 1 can choosebetween two alternatives:

1. Instruction in two instruments2. Singing and one instrument.

Grade 2 students have three alternatives:1. Instruction in three instruments2. Singing and two instruments3. Singing and one instrument.

In ensemble performance the studentspractise singing and playing together ingroups. They try various repertoire sectorsand also various types of ensemble. Groupswith different emphases - e.g. chambermusic, jazz and pop, improvisation and vocalmusic - enable the students to practiseensemble music making with different typesof repertoire. During their ensemble lessonsthe students can be given an opportunity oftrying their hand at conducting and directingthe group.

In choral singing the students practiseboth unison and part singing. Choral work isstimulated by practice usually focussing on asingle objective, such as an assembly or aconcert. Unison singing and part singing canboth be combined with dance or improvisedmovements and with various instruments.

The students also learn how the vocalorgans are constructed, how they work andhow to care for them.

In their freely chosen music work thestudents deal with aspects of music whichparticularly interest them. Among other thingsthis work is meant to involve co-operationbetween pupils from different classes andgrades, and it gives them an opportunity ofplanning and executing programmes forvarious groups in the community at large, e.g.day nurseries, nursing homes, other schools,old people's homes, churches or other in-stitutions. Other activities occurring in thecourse of this subject may, for example,include instrument building, jazz dance,recording technique, everyday piano andguitar playing, folk music and selfaccompanied singing.

Apart from their musical studies, thestudents take a number of general subjectshaving the same content as in the Two-YearSocial Line and the Two-Year EcomomicsLine; see time schedule.

Particular importance is here attached todeveloping the students' communicativeskills, for example in languages, whichinclude compulsory English, and inmathematics. Students can also take anadditional foreign

Content


The pie chart shows the time allottedfor different subjects in grade 1. Agreat deal of time is devoted to nursingand care subjects and to vocationalpractice. Efforts are made to integratethe various subjects.

P.E. = Physical education. Res.period = Reserve period.

Health and Medical Services andGeriatrics Branch (Hv)

The main emphasis of instruction is onnursing education and nursing/care practice.

The purpose of instruction in nursingeducation during the first year is to familiarizethe students with the structure and functionsof the human body, the principles andmethods of various nursing and care tasks,nursing and care institutions, psychologicalaspects of nursing and care, the commonestillnesses, functional changes and socialchanges connected with ageing, and theorganization and methods of public nursingand care.

This instruction is deepened andbroadened in grade 2, with certain main itemsof nursing education becoming subjects intheir own right; see time schedule.

Theoretical instruction alternates withnursing/care practice, which occupies about21 weeks in each grade. In grade 1 thisnursing/care practice is divided betweenemergency ward nursing, service in anintermediate surgical or nursing ward,long-term medical care and geriatric care.

Practice during grade 2 is divided intothree periods of medical and/or surgicalnursing, geriatric or long-term care andmental care.

During their practice periods, studentsoperate as active members of working teamsand share in various duties in the care ofpatients. Grade 1 students participate, forexample, in the conduct of basic nursing andcare routines, in the observation of patients,the conduct of elementary examinations andtreatment, and the care of furnishings andequipment. Grade 2 students, although stillunder supervision, perform more independentduties in these fields and learn to performnew duties, such as participating in certainaspects of nursing administration.

Psychiatric Care Branch in grade 2(Ps)

The basic instruction provided in grade 1 isthe same as in the Health and MedicalServices and Geriatrics Branch; see above.

This instruction is deepened andbroadened in grade 2, with certain main itemsof nursing studies becoming subjects in theirown right; see time schedule. In addition thestudents receive more advanced instructionin mental health, mental diseases and careand nursing.

Most vocational practice during grade 2 inthis branch - 14 weeks to be exact -

is devoted to mental care. Another 7 weeks'vocational practice is devoted to medical orsurgical nursing.

Care of Mentally Retarded Adultsvariant (Pu)

Instruction in this branch is for the most partidentical with the instruction provided in thePsychiatric Care Branch, except that itfocusses on the care of mentally retardedadults. Seven weeks of the nursing/carepractice period are spent in an institution formentally retarded adults.

Child and Youth(Bu)

Welfare Branch

The main emphasis of this branch is on in-struction in child studies, child and youthstudies and child welfare practice.

In child studies, first-year studentsreceive instruction concerning childdevelopment, child care and occupations forchildren and also concerning the family andsociety. This instruction is broadened anddeepened in grade 2, and the subject isrenamed child and youth studies. Amongother things the students now study theindividual needs, development anddevelopment potential of children andadolescents, daily care, the interaction of thechild and its surroundings, the influence ofsocial factors, play, occupations and leisureactivities, educational questions and childrenand child care in the light of social and familypolicy.

Theoretical instruction alternates withchild welfare practice, which occupies about21 weeks in both grades. In grade 1 thispractice is divided into 14 weeks' preschoolpractice and 7 weeks of other child activities.Practice in grade 2 is divided betweenactivities with children and young persons inorphanages, pre-school institutions, leisurecentres etc. and activities among mentallyretarded and/or physically handicappedchildren and young persons for 14 + 7 weeksor 7 + 14 weeks.

During their practice periods, the studentsjoin working teams and participate ineveryday activities within their respectivefields.

Child Nursing variant in grade 2 (Bs)

Up to their nursing/care practice in grade 2(after 13 weeks), students taking this variantreceive the same instruction as in the Childand Youth Welfare Branch.

Nursing/care practice in grade 2 is dividedinto 10 weeks' care of sick children, 5 weeks'care of infants and 6

processing techniques


The first year's instruction is designedamong other things to give all students abasic knowledge of raw materials, semi-manufactured and finished products inprocessing industry and of the working anduses of motors, apparatus and otherproduction equipment and plant. Among otherthings the students receive basic instructionin bench and tube work, brazing,maintenance work, sampling, material controland trouble shooting, energy production andautomatic controls and control engineering.

Instruction in work technique is basedpartly on the school and partly on processingenterprises. During their instruction inenterprise, the students circulate betweendifferent departments or work points in orderto get to know the processing apparatus,process-controlled installations and workcycles and to acquaint themselves with thestructure and operation of processingindustry.

Chemical Engineering Branch ingrade 2

Instruction in this branch is designed to equipthe students with a knowledge of theprinciples of design, modes of operation,applications and names of productionequipment in chemical industry, and also toacquaint them with various raw materialswhich are processed and upgraded inprocessing industry. In order to give thestudents as comprehensive a view aspossible of different tasks, the study ofworking processes (see time schedule) isbased on chemical and/or chemicalengineering enterprises where among otherthings the students are able to studyprocessing apparatus and various workingprocesses.

Paper and Pulp Branch in grade 2

Instruction in this branch is designed to givethe students a knowledge of different rawmaterials in the paper and pulp in dustry, the

uses to which they are applied, the chemicaland physical processes involved by thevarious production methods, the principles ofdesign and modes of operation of themachinery and other equipment used, andthe practical conduct of calculations,sampling and analyses.

Here as in the other branches, workingprocesses are studied at workplaces outsideschool, in paper and pulp manufacturingplants where among other things the studentsare enabled to study processing andproduction equipment together with variousworking processes.

Metallurgy Branch in grade 2

Students taking this branch devote most oftheir time to instruction in work technique,which is provided on an inplant basis atsteelworks, mostly in metallurgicaldepartments, in sintering plants, furnaces,steel mills and alloying plants.

The purpose of this instruction is to equipthe students with a knowledge of theprocessing apparatus used and themonitoring of instruments and apparatus, tofamiliarize them with various workingprocesses and to teach them jobs connectedwith the production, fabrication and treatmentof iron, steel and certain other metals.

Building Materials Branch ingrade 2

Here as in the Metallurgy Branch, the greaterpart of the students' time is devoted toinstruction in work technique. This instructiontakes place in external enterprises, e.g. inplants producing lime, cement, concrete,fabricated concrete, fibrious cement, porousconcrete, ceramics or insulating materials.

The purpose of this instruction is tofamiliarize the students with the production,fabrication and treatment of the variousbuilding materials and to teach them the useand care of the technical equipmentemployed.

Further remarks. The net number of lessons will besmaller, due among other things to the loss of timeentailed by public holidays, days off etc. The numberof periods is also affected by the optional subjectschosen by the students. For these various reasons,the exact loss of time cannot be computed.

PROCESSING LINE

After studies The purpose of these studies is to convey thebasic knowledge and skills required foremployment in those parts of processingindustry represented by the various branchesof the Processing Line.

Studies in the Chemical EngineeringBranch prepare students for employment, forexample, in such branches of chemicalindustry as fertilizer plants, plastic andelectro-chemical plants, oil refineries, gas-works and sulphuric acid plants or in homecare industries such as the soap anddetergent industry, the match industry,cosmetics manufacturing, paint factories andpharmaceutical plants.

The Paper and Pulp Branch preparesstudents primarily for employment in pulp andpaper mills, but this training can also providea foundation for employment in sawmills,plywood and board mills and textilemanufacturing, for example.

The Metallurgy Branch prepares studentsfor employment in steelmaking and othermetal industries. After a few years' jobexperience, the students will have acquired atraining which can lead to employment asblast furnacement, melters or blowers.

Students can also apply for one of thedepartments in which steel is upgraded tosemimanufactured or finished products.

Immediately on leaving school, studentscan also apply for industrial laboratories in thesectors referred to above or for employmentin independent research laboratories.

These studies can also provide a foun-dation for further education in the field ofprocessing technology.

After studiesIn addition to instruction in general subjects,this line provides a basic technical educationand specialized knowledge of the technicalfield corresponding to the branch chosen bythe individual student. The aim is for thestudent to be able, immediately on completingthese studies, to apply for employment or togo on to further technical education or studiesof other kinds.

In their first job after completing this line, itis to be expected that students will be givenrelatively simple duties, since their initialemployment, in spite of the nine months' jobexperience between grades 1 and 2, can beregarded as part of their practical training.

After some years' vocational activity,students should be able to cope with theduties of supervisory staff, designers,draughtsmen, production engineers etc. Thisline can also lead to employment as sales orpurchasing staff, mainly in fields requiringtechnical qualifications-

The two-year Technology Line does notonly prepare students for purely technicalduties. It also provides a broad technicaleducation which can be useful in many otherspheres of employment, e.g. police work,customs administration, farming and forestry,transport and medicine.

The Mechanical Engineering Branchprovides basic training for employment oncalculating, design and draughtsmanship, forexample, in the design department of acompany. Method and working studies in aproduction department are also conceivableduties.

The Building Branch provides a basiceducation which is suitable for future

employment in the building sector, e.g.draughtsmanship and basic design duties inthe design office of a building or constructioncompany and investigating and calculatingwork. This instruction also prepares studentsfor supervisory duties in building enterprises.

The Electro-engineering Branch providesbasic training with a certain choice ofspecialities between electrical powertechnology and telecommunications. Afterinduction training, the student should becapable of discharging duties within thespeciality chosen. Other fields of employmentwhich may be appropriate are, for example, inlaboratories, drawing offices, site offices orservice shops. The Electro-power variant canconfer theoretical qualifications for generaleligibility as an installation electrician.

The Chemical Engineering Branchprovides basic training for future activities inlaboratories of various kinds and elsewhere.Conceivable duties include analyses and theexamination of preparations by means ofmeasurements of different kinds.

woodwork techniques

which comprises work technique andvocational theory according to the timeschedule.

In woodwork techniques the studentsstudy the construction and working of woodconversion machinery, and they learn tooperate about twenty-five different types ofmachines. They are familiarized with thecommonest types of wood and their uses.

Using various mechanical aids, thestudents produce simple furniture, both solidand veneered, as well as interior decorationsand joinery products. In this work, greatimportance is attached to achieving accuratedimensions and surfaces. The students alsolearn to read and interpret drawings, tablesand instructions, and they produce drawingsand sketches of their own.

In the practical part of their instruction, thestudents are given assignments to perform invarious groups, one purpose being to trainthem in the team work which occurs at aworkplace. They try their hand at being'safety delegates' and taking charge of tools,machinery, facilities etc., and they also haveto implement various safety and securityregulations.

Joiners Branch in grade 2

Students taking this branch pursue furtherstudies in the use of sawing and planingmachines, milling machines, drilling machines

and polishing machines, and they also teammore about the care and maintenance of thevarious types of machinery. In addition tomachine work, the students learn about theconstruction and assembly of furniture andstandard joinery articles. For example, theyproduce Windows, doors and kitchen fittings,and they study timber drying and theassembly and surface treatment of furniture.

Pattern Makers Branch in grade 2

In this branch students learn to make variousfoundry moulds of wood and plastic. Tasksinclude the production of blue-prints andscale drawings modelling work, and thestudents also construct models.

In addition, the students produceshuttering and foundry articles.

Boatbuilders Branch in grade 2

Students taking this branch learn to build andrepair small craft, and their practical trainingincludes the construction of clinker-builtboats. The students also learn about thefunctions of scale drawings, they producedocumentation for the manufacture of variousboat parts, they produce hull designs, theycarry out erection, outside planking andfitting, and in the course of this work they tryout various production methods. Further, thestudents are taught various methods ofsurface treatment and timber drying.

Instruction concerning boat repairs isusually provided with the aid of externalassignments, one of which will includerepairs to plastic craft.

WOODWORK LINE

After studies The purpose of this line is to confer the basicknowledge and skills required for employmentin the wood conversion sector. Above all thisinstruction prepares students for employmentin joinery factories producing building joineryand interior fittings, the wooden furniture in-dustry or factories producing prefabricatedtimber buildings. These studies can alsoprovide a foundation for employment in anumber of other industrial enterprisesmanufacturing toys, boats, skis and musicalinstruments, for example, and in institutionsand branches of enterprise and administrationmaintaining their own personnel for varioustypes of maintenance and supplementary

construction work.The Pattern Makers Branch prepares

students for employment in foundry and otherpattern shops.

Students completing the Joiners Branchcan, for example, apply for an advancedspecialized course in furniture making andinterior fittings. Studies in this line also confereligibility for further education in the woodconversion sector.

Students completing the Joiners Branch,for example, can apply for an advancedspecialized course of cabinet making andjoinery.

Content


The pie chart shows the timeallocations for different subjects ingrade 1. The time allocation for thecharacteristic subject of this line,workshop techniques, is increased ingrade 2 (see time schedule). Ef fortsare made to integrate the varioussubjects.



workshop techniques


In their studies of workshop techniquesthe students learn, for example, to use,maintain and care for various tools andmachines, and they also study the propertiesand uses of different materials. Thus theylearn the construction, names and uses of thetools for bench and machine work. Theyperform elementary grinding, turning, milling,plate work, brazing and welding operations,and in this connection they learn the use ofvarious measuring instruments and studydifferent methods of measurement.

In the practical part of their instruction thestudents form various groups to deal withassignments aimed among other things atgiving them practice in the team work whichoccurs at a workplace. They are enabled totry their hand at being ’safety delegates',taking charge of tools, machinery, facilitiesand so forth.

Workshop Mechanics Branch ingrade 2

This branch gives students an opportunity ofdeepening and broadening their knowledge ofdifferent tools and machines used for turning,milling, grinding, drilling and other operations.They also receive instruction in bench work,assembly work, quality assurance andmeasuring techniques.

Some of this work can be devoted toexternal orders.

Steelmill Trades Branch in grade 2

Work technique instruction in this branchtakes the form of in-plant training in theproduction department of a steelmill. In somelocalities this in-plant training can take place inmetal manufacturing firms, in which case itprepares the student for metalworking trades.To make their training as comprehensive aspossible, the students circulate betweenvarious work points within the enterprise. Thepurpose of this training is to broaden thestudents' knowledge of the production andfabrication of iron, steel and other metals.Tasks include the planning and supervision ofdifferent manufacturing processes, theoperation and maintenance of equipment (e.g.furnaces and rolling mills) and the testing andinspection of material.

Subject to special permission, studentscan try their hand at shift work.

Metal Workers and WeldersBranch in grade 2

Students taking this branch receive furtherinstruction in mechanical sheet metalfabrication, hot and cold straightening, MMAand gas-shielded arc welding, gas cutting,brazing and braze welding, and the use ofvarious machines, aids and tools for erectionand jointing.

This branch also includes a Heavy Platevariant in which work technique instructiontakes place on the premises of firms in thetrade and the students gradually build up theirskills by circulating between various workpoints.

Marks Marks are awarded for all subjects exceptwhere otherwise indicated. No marks areawarded, however, for working,- life orien-tation. Instead a note is made to the effectthat the student has ”Participated”.

Free option implies that the student may ex-change a vocational subject for a subject belongingto another line or branch. For example, a studenttak ing English as an optional subject in grades 1 and2 can acquire general eligibility for post-secondarystudios by taking Swedish for 3 periods per week(120 lessons) as a free option in grade 2.3 Reserve periods are applied to purposes nothaving a direct bearing on any of the other subjectsincluded in the line of studios.Examples: educational and vocational orientation,industrial and social affairs, cultural questions.

4 At least one of these optional subjects has to betaken for up to 3 periods per week for at least oneschool year. The student may exchange theoptional subject for work techniques during one ofthe two grades.



Note: The time allocations given in the timeschedule refer to the total number of lessons for 40working weeks per grade.

Further remarks. The not number of lessons will besmaller, due among other things to the loss of timeentailed by public holidays, days off etc. Thenumber of periods is also affected by the optionalsubjects chosen by the students; cf. note 2. Forthese various reasons, the exact loss of timecannot be computed.

WORKSHOP LINE

After studies The purpose of this instruction is to equip thestudents with the basic knowledge and skillsrequired for employment in the engineeringindustry, including engineering shops,shipyards and steelmills.

In most cases the attainment of skilledstatus requires one or two years’ practicalexperience, either in the form of vocationalactivity or through further training.

The Workshop Mechanics Branch canlead to a host of occupations within theengineering industry and elsewhere, e.g.those of welder, milling machine operator,machine setter or machine fitter, or else toemployment in the manufacture of mechanicalaids and tools. This branch can also providea foundation for further training in workshoptechniques.

Further training of this kind includes, forexample, advanced specialized courses in

precision engineering, tool technology andmachine erection, as well as advancedspecialized course for sawmill engineers.

The Metal Workers and WeldersBranch can lead to employment in themanufacture of sheet metal and steelstructures of various kinds in the engineeringindustry and erection work in the building andlarge-site construction industries (e.g. bridge-building and power projects). This branchcan also provide a foundation for furthertraining in the engineering sector, e.g. anadvanced specialized course in welding.

The Steelmill Trades Branch isdesigned to prepare students for advancedpositions in steelmills, e.g. those of setter,roller and stoker. This branch can also lead toemployment in various metalworking tradesother than those occurring in steelmills.

INSTRUCTIONS








No marks are awarded for working Life orientation. Instead anote is made to the effect that the student has "participated”.

If a student has attended Instruction In a subject but, for a reasonreferred to in Chap. 9, Section 31, Subsection 4 of the EducationOrdinance, has not been awarded a mark for the same, a cross isto be entered in the marks column to show that the subject isincluded in the course of studies. A similar entry is to be made forsubjects where "participated” should otherwise be entered.


A leaving certificate is to be issued to a student concluding a courseof studies equalling a complete course of upper secondary schoolstudies or grade 3 of the four-year Technology Line of uppersecondary school. Instruction in music, the history of art and music,drawing, handicraft, drama, physical education or a comparablesubject shall not be required, however, for the issue of a leavingcertificate, except insofar as is provided in regulations issued by theNational Board of Education. A leaving certificate may also be issuedon completion of studies corresponding to the four-year TechnologyLine of upper secondary school less B-language, C-language,history, religious know ledge and civics. A mark for physicaleducation shall not be required for the issue of such a leavingcertificate, except insofar as provided in regulations issued by theNational Board of Education. (SFS 1974:442).

THREE-YEAR ECONOMICS LINE

Content


The pie chart shows the timeallocations for different subjects ingrade 1. The time allocation for thecharacteristic subject of this line,processing techniques, is increased ingrade 2 (see time schedule). Ef fortsare made to integrate the varioussubjects.


The characteristic subject of this line in grade1 are

business economics

typing

office skills

and in grade 2 they are

business economics

typing

shorthand (as an alternative tomathematics).

Instruction in foreign languages occupies arelatively large amount of the time.

Basic economic education in grades 1 and2 is mainly provided through the teaching ofbusiness economics, the purpose of whichis to equip the students with the basicknowledge which every employee in theclerical and commercial sector or theadministrative sector ought to possess.

The students study work within thevarious functions of an enterprise, such aspurchasing, marketing, finance and ad-ministration. This subject is also intended toconvey a general picture of the enterpriseand its role in society.

In typing the students are given basictraining in typing and machine calculation. Ingrade 1 or 2 they have off-time schedulelessons in office skills. They are introducedto office aids and they study various routinesoccurring at an office.

Students in grade 2 take either mathe-matics or shorthand. (See time schedule.) Inshorthand the students learn the elements ofindependent shorthand notation, Swedishdictation and the transcription of shorthandnotes, In grade 3 they also study shorthandin foreign languages.

In the Administrative, Distribution andAccounting Branches in grade 3, studentstake either administration, distribution oraccounting as a special subject, and also inthese branches they continue their studies ofbusiness economics, now focussing oncompany administration.

Studies of law in grade 3 provide aknowledge of those sectors of civil law, thelaw of procedure and criminal law which arerelevant above all to business practice

Economics and Languages Branch

Students taking this branch pursue languagestudies to a far greater extent than thosetaking the other three branches. Togetherwith the three-year Liberal Arts Line, theEconomics and Languages Line is the studyroute in upper secondary school providing thegreatest opportunities of studying languages.

Students taking the Economics andLanguages Branch can choose between lawand practical secretarial work.

Administrative Branch

The characteristic subject of this branch isadministration. Instruction in this subjectcovers among other things the organizationand activities of national and local governmentadministration, the organization and methodsof social policy and the accounting systemsemployed by national and local authorities.

Distribution Branch

The characteristic subject of this branch isdistribution, which among other things coversmarketing principles, market analysis,purchasing organization, cost benefit analysisand questions concerning imports andexports.

Economics anLanguage Branch(SP)

Accounting (KA),Distribution (Di) andAdministrative (Ad)Branches

Accounting Branch

The characteristic subject of this branch isaccounting, which among other thingsdeals with industrial accounting, calculations,balance sheet theory and companytaxation, analysis of accounts, and financialplanning.

At some schools students can opt for acombination of the Accounting and Dis-tribution Branches in grade 3. (Experimentalscheme in progress since 1st July 1978.)

In addition to their ordinary instruction,students in grade 3 have to under-take aspecial project, either individually or ingroups. The main purpose of this project is todevelop their capacity for working in-dependently.

general language studies or Latin, thelatter being the subject characterizing theClassical or Semi-classical variant.

The Liberal! Arts Line and the Economicsand Languages Branch of the three-yearEconomics Line are the upper secondaryschool study routes offering the greatestopportunities for the study of modernlanguages.

The purpose of foreign language teachingas regards continuation languages (Englishand the B-language) is to develop thestudent's ability to understand and use theforeign language in speech and writing andalso for the student to acquire a certainknowledge of the culture, social conditionsetc. o the language area concerned.Instruction in beginners' languages(C-languages) is designed to familiarize thestudents with a limited vocabulary of centralwords and expressions and to enable themto read and correctly pronounce readingpassages of moderate difficulty, tounderstand the spoken language and toexpress themselves reasonably correctly,above all in the spoken language and, as asecondary aim, in writing. The students arealso to acquire some knowledge of theculture, social conditions etc. of the languagearea concerned.

The teaching of civics involves studyingsocial life in geographical, economic, politicaland sociological terms, the intention being forthe pupils to attain a general grasp of socialproblems. Among other things the studentsstudy population, industry and commerceand socioeconomics. Socio-economicproblems are studied, for example, byinvestigating a particular industry in terms ofnatural resources, marketing, labour supplyand so forth. This subject also includessystems of government, democracy anddictatorship, the formation of opinion, socialplanning and current social issues.

Mathematics is compulsory in grade 1only. The students can choose between twocourses; see time schedule, note 6.Mathematics with a scientific-technical focuscan only be taken in grade 1 of this line.Students who have chosen mathematicswith a social-scientific and economic focuscan continue their mathematical studies ingrades 2 and 3 by taking what is termed anaugmented course of studies; see page 1.

General language studies convey aknowledge of those portions of the Latin andGreek languages which survive in thewestern languages, for example as elementsof vocabulary, scientific terms, quotationsand so on. Among other things this courseincludes the reading of passages in modernlanguages, by which means the students canpractice interpreting and tracing the origins ofinternational words and expressions. Latinreading passages are also used, so as toacquaint the students with the structure ofthe Latin language.

Students choosing to take Latin acquire abroader knowledge of the internationalvocabulary and receive additionalgrammatical training, which can help them intheir studies of other languages. One of thepurposes of this instruction is to enable thestudents to understand easy passages ofLatin prose. The passages chosen illustratethe importance of Latin culture down to ourown times. Roman society and art and thehistory of Roman literature are also dealt within connection with the reading passages.

Students choosing to take Greek acquirea grounding in Classical Greek. Greek proseand poetry are studied, together with adaptedand original texts and translations. Thestudents also study Greek art andarchitecture, Greek religion and the history ofGreek literature and philosophy.

In addition to their ordinary instruction,students in grade 3 have to undertake aspecial project, either individually or on agroup basis. The purpose of this specialproject is to develop their capacity for in-dependent work. The subject field and title ofthe special project are entered in eachstudent's leaving certificate, but no marks areawarded for this work.

After studies The Liberal Arts Line provides a general education withparticular emphasis on languages. A knowledge ofgeneral language studies, Latin and Greek provides afoundation for further language studies, for example.This instruction also provides a foundation foremployment in various spheres of activity, usually after

some form of further education or after inductiontraining at the place of employment.

The Liberal Arts Line confers general eligibilityfor post-secondary studies and also specialeligibility for several education programmes atuniversity and college.

TREÅRIG NATURVETENSKAPLIG LINJE

Description This line is not divided into branches orvariants, and students pursue the samestudies throughout the three grades.


A student can also take one or moresubjects over and above the complete

course of studies, in which case he or she issaid to take an augmented course of studies.


NATURAL SCIENCES LINE

Content


The pie chart shows the timeallocations for different subjects ingrade 1. The time allocation for thecharacteristic subject of this line,processing techniques, is increased ingrade 2 (see time schedule). Effortsare made to integrate the varioussubjects.


The main emphasis of instruction in this line ison

mathematics

physics

chemistry

biology

Instruction in modern languages also oc-cupies a relatively large proportion of thestudents' time.

Instruction in mathematics is adjustedfrom the very outset to the requirements ofthe physics and chemistry courses. Thestudents are familiarized with a number ofessential concepts and methods in algebra,geometry, functions, the theory of probabilityand statistics. They also learn to calculatewith technical aids, and they are given ageneral introduction to the uses ofmathematics in other subject fields.

Studies of physics begin in grade 1 withmechanics. The main purpose of this courseis to provide a foundation for instruction inother aspects of physics. It also includesstudies concerning various forms of energy.More advanced studies in mechanics arepursued in grade 2, but the main emphasis ofinstruction in this grade is on electricity.Studies in grade 3 are concerned with thegeneral theory of wave motion,electro-magnetic waves and atomic physics.

Studies in chemistry include atomicstructure, chemical bonding, organic andinorganic substances and rocks andminerals. The students also acquire someknowledge of the industrial applications ofchemical methods. A great deal of time isdevoted to experimentation and analysis inorder to make the theoretical argumentsmore real.

This is the only line of upper secondaryschool in which biology is compulsory. Thepurpose of biology teaching is to provide thestudents with a general introduction to thesubject and to equip them with the initialknowledge required for further biological studies.Special attention is paid to biological phenomenaof importance to man, his health and survival,and to human society. A general survey of theprincipal groups of the plant and animal

kingdoms is given in grade 2, which alsoincludes instruction in genetics. Topics dealtwith in grade 3 include evolution, cellular andgeneral physiology, including biochemistry,and etology and ecology. Against thisbackground the students then go on toconsider certain questions of practical im-portance such as food production on land andin the water, environment conservation andproblems of human survival.

In addition to their ordinary instruction,grade 3 students also have to carry out aspecial project, either singly or in groups. Themain purpose of project is to develop thestudents' capacity for independent work. Thesubject field and title of the special project arequoted in the student's leaving certificate, butno mark is awarded for this work.

Comparison with the four-yearTechnology Line

• The two lines have identical mathematics,physics and chemistry courses.

• Students taking the Natural Sciences Line do more modern languages.

• Technology Line students can only takebiologyas part of an augmented course of studies.

• The Natural Sciences Line does not includethe

Comparison with the three-year SocialSciences Line

• The two lines include practically the samesubjects, but

• Natural Science students do moremathematics.

• Physics, chemistry and biology rank asindependent subjects in the Natural SciencesLine.In the Social Sciences Line these subjectfields are dealt with more briefly under asingle subject heading, namely generalscience.

• Students taking the Social Sciences Linespend rather more time on modernlanguages and social subjects.

Marks are awarded for all subjects except whereotherwise indicated.

No marks are awarded for the history of artand music. Instead a note is made to the effectthat the student has ”Participated".Marks are awarded on a five-point scale, 5 beingthe maximum award.

Note: Length of school year = 40 weeks (with somededuction for public holidays. days off etc.).1 period per week (~) = 40 minutes per week.

After studies The Natural Sciences Line provides a broadgeneral education which can serve as afoundation for employment in many differentfields, usually after some form of furthereducation or induction training.

This line confers general eligibility forpost-secondary studies and also specialeligibility for the majority of postsecondaryeducation programmes.


Experimentalalternative design ofthe NaturalSciences Line

Experiments involving a variant of the NaturalSciences Line or NT classes were started bya number of municipalities in the school year1977/78.

The pie charts illustrate the relative timeallocations of different subjects in the variantand in NT classes; cf. page 2.

Science subjects = physics,chemistry, biologySocial subjects = civics, history,religious knowledge, psycholo-gy/philosophyOther subjects = music/drawing.physical education, reserve period.

The variant subject is not the same inall experimental schools. It may focuson data technology or on en-vironmental engineering. Variants arealso being planned focussing onenergy technology, communicationsand health engineering. Students takethe variant subject in grades 2 and 3,working with a considerable degree ofindependence.

Science subjects = physics,chemistry, biology.Social subjects = civics, history,religious knowledge, psychology/philosophy.Other subjects = music/drawing,physical education, reserve period.

Variant of Natural Sciences Line NT class in grades 1 and 2

Technology is taken in grades 1 and2, just as in the Technology Line.Instruction in this subject provides thestudents with basic technicalknowledge, and they also receivepractical training in the schoolworkshop. In grade 3 they then opt forthe Natural Sciences Line or one ofthe branches of the Technology Line.

SOCIAL SCIENCES LINE

Content

Distribution of subjects accordingto the normal time schedule

The pie chart shows the timeallocations for different subjectsduring the three grades. Efforts aremade to integrate the various sub-jects.

Social subjects = history, religiousknowledge, philosophy, psychology,civics.

Other subjects = history of art andmusic, music/drawing, physicaleducation, reserve period.

The main emphasis of instruction in this line ison

civics

mathematics

general science

Instruction in modern languages also occupiesa large proportion of the students' time.

The teaching of civics involves studyingsocial life in geographical, economic, politicaland sociological terms, the intention beingfor the students to attain a general grasp ofsocial problems. Among other things thestudents study population, industry andcommerce and socio-economics.Socio-economic problems are studied, forexample, by investigating a particularindustry in terms of natural resources,marketing, labour supply and so forth. Thissubject also includes systems ofgovernment, democracy and dictatorship,the formation of opinion, social planning andcurrent social issues.

Students can choose between twomathematics courses: one with a socialscientific and economic bias and the otherwith a scientific and technical bias. Thesocial scientific and economic course entailsa total of 11 ppw for the three grades, with acertain emphasis on statistics and practicalstatistical exercises in civics and othersubjects. Students opting for mathematicswith a social scientific and economic biascan continue this subject in grades 2 and 3:see time schedule, note 5. This course hasa larger time allocation, namely 15 ppw forthe three grades. It is identical with thecourse taken in the three-year NaturalSciences Line and the four-year TechnologyLine, and its purpose is to familiarize thestudents with, among other things, a numberof essential concepts and methods inalgebra, geometry, functions, the theory ofprobability and statistics. The students alsolearn to calculate using technical

aids, and they are given a general in-troduction to the uses of mathematics inother subject fields.

General science includes physics,chemistry, biology and geo-science. Amongother things the students learn to observephenomena and events in the naturalenvironment with particular regard to theirimportance to the individual and society.Instruction also deals with aspects ofenvironment conservation. The students takepart in laboratory exercises and analyse theirexperiments. Excursions of various kinds arean important element in the sections dealingwith ecology and natural geography.

Instruction also covers the developmentof major scientific ideas together with anumber of salient features of modernscience.

The purpose of foreign language teachingas regards continuation languages (Englishand the B-language) is to develop thestudents ability to understand and use theforeign language in speech and writing andalso for the student to acquire a certainknowledge of the culture, social conditionsetc. of the language area concerned.Instruction in beginners' languages(C-languages) is designed to familiarize thestudents with a limited vocabulary of centralwords and expressions and to enable themto read and correctly pronounce readingpassages of moderate difficulty, tounderstand the spoken language and toexpress themselves reasonably correctly,above all in the spoken language and, as asecondary aim, in writing. The students arealso to acquire some knowledge of theculture, social conditions etc. of the languagearea concerned.

In addition to their ordinary instruction,students in grade 3 have to undertake aspecial project, either individually or on agroup basis. The purpose of this specialproject is to develop their capacity for in-dependent work. The subject field and title ofthe special project are entered in eachstudent's leaving certificate, but no marksare awarded for this work.

Marks Marks are awarded for all subjects exceptwhere otherwise indicated. No marks areawarded, however, for the history of art andmusic. Instead a note is made to the effectthat the student has ”Participated”.

The pie chart shows the time allocationsfor different subjects in the first threegrades. Efforts are made to integrate thevarious subjects.

Social subjects = history, religiousknowledge, civics.

Other subjects = physical education,reserve period.

The main emphasis of instruction in this line ison the technical subjects included in the timeschedule for the various branches and variantsin grades 3 and 4 (see time schedule) and on

technology

mathematics

physics

chemistry

Instruction in technology is designed to laythe foundations of engineering working methods,at the same time providing the students with anelementary knowledge of technical subject fieldswhich are common to all branches. Thisinstruction includes science of materials,mechanics, strength of materials anddraughtsmanship and projection. As a ruleinstruction is based on practical workingexamples, such as a known structure which isinvestigated in various respects. In this way thetheoretical arguments acquire a practicalapplication and the students are givensystematic training from the very outset intechnical working methods and acquire ageneral view of the different parts of the subject.

Mechanical Engineering Branch (Ma)

The characteristic subjects of this branch areshown in the time schedule.

Instruction in design Ma includes, amongother things, mechanics, strength of materials,construction of apparatus, transport equipment,supporting constructions, machineryconstruction and design tasks.

Energy familiarizes the students with suchmatters as the construction and principles ofmachinery, apparatus and facilities and variousenergy processes.

Production engineering Ma comprisesscience of materials manufacturing techniquesand production engineering.

Special project Ma in grade 4 is intended toprovide a deeper knowledge of design andproduction and also to develop the student’scapacity for independent work based onengineering principles and methods.

Building Branch (By)


In building technology students are taught

about building materials and

building techniques and the construction of

buildings.

Design By includes general strength ofmaterials, various designs, soil mechanics andfoundations.

This branch divides into two variants in grade4. Design By and housing and town planning areallotted somewhat less scope in theConstruction variant, which instead providesrelatively comprehensive instruction inconstruction. The main emphasis of the Buildingvariant is on design by and on housing and townplanning.

Electro-engineering Branch (Ell)

The characteristic subjects of this branch are

shown in the time schedule.

Instruction in electricity includes D.C.circuits, magnetic fields, electric fields, A.C.circuits and measuring techniques.

Electronics deals with electronic com-ponents and circuits, amplifiers measuringtechniques etc.

This branch divides into two variants in grade4. Automatic control El is common to both thesevariants. Electronics (major course),telecommunications, system engineering andelectrical power are peculiar to theTelecommunications variant. Electronics (minorcourse), electrical machinery and electricalinstallation are peculiar to the Electro-powervariant. Students completing this variant can ac-quire theoretical qualifications for generaleligibility as electrical contractors.

Chemical Engineering Branch


This branch is very much concerned withexperimentation and analysis and with themathematical treatment of various problems.

Special project Ke in grade 4 is intended toprovide students with an opportunity of makingin-depth studies of a chosen field of chemistryand also to develop their capacity forindependent work according to the principlesand methods of engineering.

In addition to their ordinary instruction, grade3 students i all branches have to undertake aspecial project, either individually or on a groupbasis. The main purpose of this project is todevelop the students' capacity for independentwork.

After studies The four-year Technology Line provides basictechnical vocational education.

This line can lead to various duties indesign, production and work supervisionwithin the speciality chosen. It can also leadto planning, purchasing or sales duties. Theaim is for the student to be able, immediatelyon completing these studies, to apply foremployment or to go on to further technicaleducation or studies of other kinds.

The Electrical Power variant of theElectro-engineering Branch can confertheoretical qualifications for general eligibilityas an electrical contractor.

Students completing grade 3 of theMechanical Engineering or Building Branchand also completing the prescribed vocationalpractice can apply for the advancedspecialized course Heating, Ventilation andPlumbing Installation Techniques.

• Business economics for engineers trainingas buyers.

• Business economics for sales engineer

training. • Training course for orthopaedic engineers. • Persons with at least fours years job

experience in industry can apply for trainingas safety engineers.
