PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL ENROLMENT

Introduction

Demography in general means the study of the characteristics of human populations, such as size, growth, density, distribution, and vital statistics.

School enrolment is defined as the enrolment of the official age-group for a certain level of education, expressed as a percentage of the population from the same age group.

—Our status of education between the year 1991 and 1997 is not well distributed.




Based on the graph, it is seen that from the year 1991 to 1992 there is an increase by 3%.
—In the following year from 1992 to 1994, the percentage of primary school enrolment gradually decrease by 1%.

—However, in the year 1995, there is a sudden increase of percentage up to 4%.
—The graph plummeted from 99% to 90%.
—A year after 1996, the graph shot up 6%.



Apparent Gross and Net Intake Rate of Secondary Education (1998-2003)



—The graph from year 1998 to 2001 is almost constant with slight increase or decrease.
— In the year 2002, the graph shot up by 9%, making it 72%.
—Later in the year 2003, there is also a slight increase from 72% to 80%.
—Overall, the graph increases over time due to certain factors which change throughout time.


Factors Affecting the Statistics(Decrease)


—Birth rate – the population of children aged 7 to 12 between the year 1991 and 1997 are differ according to the economical status of parents.
—Death rate – children may die of various diseases because of weak immune system. Children may also be involved in terrible accidents.
— Financial problem – Parents are too poor to afford the school fees and textbooks when their children enter secondary school.


Predictions in the Future


—There will be an increase in the number of students enrolled in schools because education guarantees a brighter future for them.
—The government will provide more support to the poor and unfortunate children to maximize the population of literate people so that they may be of use to the country.


Conclusions


—In the early 90’s, people in rural areas believe that children should be educated at home only.
—However, during the late 90’s, the evolution of technology has caused people to realize the importance of education and prepare their children for the future.
—In the future, it is hoped that the graph will gradually increase over time.

Dia de los Muertos







The Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico and Southwest states of the United States. It is celebrated on the 2nd of November every year. The Day of the Dead is famously known as Dia de los Muertos. This festival is to celebrate the death of ancestors by offering foods and beverages. Centuries ago, it was common to keep skulls as ornaments and display them during the rituals to symbolize death and rebirth.
Furthermore, this festival is dedicated to the goddess "Mictecacihuatl" known as the 'Lady of the Dead'. During this festival, the dead ones are welcomed back home to spend a day with their family. Usually the family members build private altars or shrines containing the favourite foods and beverages as well as the photos of the deceased. Some of the families will have small picnic in the graveyard. They visit the cemetery one or two days earlier to clean and decorate graves with ofrendras (offerings) which include orange marigolds called 'cempasuchitl'. These flowers are believed to attract souls of the dead to the ofrendas.Besides that, pillows and blankets are kept at the alter so that the departed can rest after their long journey.
In certain areas, celebrants dress up as the departed. A common symbol of the holiday is the skull called calavera which celebrants represent in masks, and foods such as sugar calavera. Some people do believe that owning 'Dia de los Muertos' items can bring good luck. On the 1st of November, citizens of Mexico celebrates 'Dia de los Angelitos' also known as the Day of the Little Angels to remember the children that have died. Toys are presented to the dead children.
