KAOLE AND SALTDAL STUDENTS

"There are many differences between an 18-year old in Norway and an 18-year old in Tanzania. Part of the aims of this trip is to experience these differences and at the same time realize that the one is not more correct than the other. We travelled to learn from them and not to teach them"
RE
We worked together with Norwegian and Tanzanian students and decided to write about one day at each of the schools. We took pictures of the schools and compared them.

One day at Saltdal Secondary school


The school starts at 7.30 AM. The students drives the bus or they are walking, it depends on were you live. All the periods last for 45 minutes and we have a break of 10 minutes between each of the periods. After 4 periods we get a lunchbreak that lasts for 30 minutes. The students eat food in the cafetreria, either food they bring from home or food they buy in the cafeteria. After lunch we have 4 new periods of 45 minutes. The schoolday ends at 3 PM.
The way our teachers are teaching the students are different from teacher to teacher. Some of them are using the blackboard and talking to the students the whole period, while some of them give the students exercises to do. We often work in groups and we are able to use different instruments when we are working, like cameras,computers,overhead, powerpoint etc.  Every student should be prepared for the lesson. Most of the lessons are in Norwegian, but subjects like English, French and German are not. We get homework everyday and sometimes tasks that are going to be handed in to the teacher for response. We normally have a test in  the subjects after each chapter. All the students have their own books and pens. They also have their own desk and chair in the classroom. Physical punishment by the teacher is not allowed in Norway. Schooluniform is not used in any Norwegian schools. The school has a big library where students can work,read books, use the computer and have groupwork. The school gets cleaned everyday.

The differences between Kaole and Saltdal upper secondary schools
:

01. Languages
02. Culturally
03. Economically
04. Enviroment
05. Tools

Languages
In Norway the schools are teaching by using norwegian language, in Tanzanian schools, teachers are using english. Students and all books are written in english language.

Culturally
Cultur is the total way of life. The way they live is quite different from us. The students smoke and do anything they want to do and resisting in totally system at the school they do not stand in assemblly ground and listen perhaps an anouncement from the teacher. In Kaole they not allow to smoke and to do anything they want because they have rules which maintain panctuality the student of Kaole stand in assembly ground for listening an announcement from the teacher.
 
Economically
The Saltdal  upper secondary school they study but with the same day they do work. In Kaole secondary school students study only they must be seriously to study only and not to do any thing else . The student of Saltdal upper secondary school do not pay a school fees but in Tanzania the student should pay a school fees .
Environment
Environment is the areas which surrounding us .In saltdal upper secondary school students do not clean their environment , in kaole secondary school students clean their environment themselves every day in the morning.

Tools
In saltdal upper secondary school they have many tools for teaching the students and they always based in practicals and they have model tools which are manufactured tools in kaole secondary school we have specimen tools being preserved.
