Compulsory medical service programs for physicians and other health care professionals have been installed in developing countries around the world. The underlying assumption for the creation of these programs is that the increased presence of physicians will improve the health status of rural populations which exhibit higher rates of morbidity and mortality compared to urban populations. This assumption, however, has been challenged by recent evaluative studies of compulsory service programs in Latin America. This paper reports on the physician's perspective of Ecuador's compulsory service program, known as medicatura rural. Based on responses to a self-administered questionnaire completed by 127 physicians who had fulfilled or were currently fulfilling their medicatura rural requirement, in-depth interviews with physicians and other officials, and visits to several rural placement sites, the paper examines some of the fundamental programmatic and logistical problems that have impeded the successful implementation of the program since its inception in 1970. While the majority of the physicians reported that the medicatura rural experience was both professionally and personally rewarding, many view the program as conceptually flawed with respect to its goal of improving the health status of rural communities. The physicians' suggestions for improving the medicatura rural, which elucidate some of the program's basic conceptual flaws and reflect the criticisms of compulsory medical programs in other Latin American countries, are discussed. Finally, Ugalde's (1988) recommendation for replacing compulsory medical service programs with a 'rural health corps' is considered.

The primary guiding question proposed for this study is, what are the variations and commonalities in policies among the 132 school districts in the Commonwealth of Virginia that govern whether or not students who are educated at home have access to public school courses and extra-curricular activities? In order to obtain this information the study was conducted of two phases. The first phase consisted of a policy analysis in order to determine the scope and nature of home school policies across Virginia's 132 operational school districts, and whether they fall within the legal parameters established by state regulations and case law. The second phase involved ascertaining how school officials perceived local control of home schoolers' access to public school classes or extracurricular activities through a multiple case study. This phase involved interviewing the person designated to implement these policies from selected school districts. The intent was that the data analysis would provide the basis for recommending changes or perhaps no changes, in the state's role in governing home school access. / Ed. D.

Many students in the Swedish and Norwegian compulsory school do not have quali­fi­cation to search for further education. There is a large part of those pupils who have a different native language than the country’s majority language. These students’ possi­bi­lities to a fair and equal education is regulated in national laws and regulations of school activity, the so-called governing documents.   The purpose of this study is to compare Norwegian and Swedish governing docu­ments regarding education for pupils with another native language. The comparison also app­lies to the requirements that each country has for the students who are looking to the Swedish upper secondary school, and its counterpart in Norway, “den videre­gående skolen”.   It is possible to see some similarities in the design of the governing documents and the school as an institution. However, there are some differences in the content of teaching and the document that governs this. The Norwegian school and Norwegian governing documents put more focus on the Norwegian language, while the Swedish school system and Swedish governing documents have a more generous attitude towards the native language. / Många elever i svenska och norska grundskolan har inte behörighet att söka till vidare utbildning. Det är en stor andel av dessa elever som har ett annat modersmål än landets majoritetsspråk. Dessa elevers möjligheter till en rättvis och likvärdig utbildning finns reglerade i ländernas lagar och regler för skolverksamheten, de så kallade styr­doku­menten.   Syftet med denna undersökning är att jämföra norska och svenska styrdokument an­gående undervisningen för elever som har annat modersmål. Jämförelsen gäller även vilka krav respektive land har för de elever som söker till den svenska gymnasie­skolan, och dess motsvarighet i Norge, ”den videregående skolen”.   Det går att se vissa likheter i utformningen av styrdokumenten och grundskolan som in­stitution. Däremot finns en del skillnader när det gäller innehållet i undervisningen och de dokument som styr denna. Den norska skolan och de norska styrdokumenten lägger mera fokus på det norska språket, medan den svenska skolan och de svenska styr­dokumenten har en generösare attityd till modersmålet.

The purpose of the research is to construct Operation Evaluation Indicator of Compulsory Education Advisory Group by means of CIPP Evaluation Mode. There are 4 evaluation levels, 18 evaluation items, and 63 evaluation indicators concluded through literature review, document analyses from Ministry of Education, and those concerning compulsory education advisory groups of 10 counties and cities. The researcher conducted three rounds of Delphi questionnaires through Delphi Technique counseling group with 29 persons, including administrators of Educational Bureaus of City and County Governments, scholars, professionals, curriculum supervisors, members of compulsory education advisory groups, school administrators and teachers, to seek the suitability and feasibility of evaluation indicators and to view the discrimination and internal consistency of evaluation indicators in accordance with 214 questionnaires from three counties and cities. Lastly, the researcher discussed the current condition of the operation of compulsory education advisory groups, difference of diverse Context forms, and the relativity between each level of CIPP according to returned 640 questionnaires presented to compulsory education advisers from 23 counties and cities of the whole country. Conclusions of the research are as follows: 1. Regarding implications of constructing Evaluation Indicators Operation Evaluation Indicators of Compulsory Advisory Group constructed by CIPP four evaluation levels, namely, context, input, process and product, includes 18 evaluation items, 63 evaluation indicators, provided with curriculum profession and administrative performance. 2. Regarding current condition of the organizational operation of compulsory education advisory groups from every country and city. (1) The performance of members of advisory groups in 23 counties and cities was between ¡§Conformable¡¨ and ¡§Very Conformable.¡¨ (2) As for the average score of 23 counties and cities, there¡¦s bigger difference between the country or city with the highest score and that with the lowest score. (3) The performance of four evaluation levels is divided into ¡§Context Evaluation Level,¡¨ ¡§Product Evaluation Level,¡¨ ¡§Input Evaluation Level.¡¨ and ¡§Process Evaluation Level.¡¨ (4) Among 18 evaluation items, ¡§Program Establishment¡¨ and ¡§School Consulting Service¡¨ have the best performance; ¡§Material Resources¡¨ and ¡§R&D Media Teaching Material¡¨ have the worst performance. 3. Regarding performance difference in whole Evaluation of compulsory education advisory groups under different Context variables. (1) As for comparison between compulsory education advisory groups of metropolitan counties and cities, there¡¦s no outstanding difference in the whole evaluation, but there¡¦re outstanding differences in the performance of ¡§Action Research¡¨ and ¡§Execution Features¡¨ among 18 evaluation items. (2) As for comparison between compulsory education advisory groups of municipalities and those of non-municipalities, there¡¦re outstanding differences in whole evaluation and advisory groups of municipalities score higher than those of non-municipalities. However, if it¡¦s compared with evaluation items, 10 evaluation items in total had outstanding differences, and 8 evaluation items did not. (3) As for comparison of having full-time advisers or not, there¡¦re outstanding differences in the performance of whole evaluation, evaluation levels, and evaluation items and the performance of compulsory education advisory groups with full-time advisers was better than those without full-time advisers. (4) As for comparison between ¡§Pass¡¨ and ¡§Pass after amendment¡¨ types examined by Ministry of Education in 2006, there¡¦re outstanding differences in the performance of whole evaluation, and compulsory education advisory groups which ¡§Pass¡¨ the examination performed better than those ¡§Pass after amendment.¡¨ But if it¡¦s compared with evaluation items, 15 evaluation items in total had outstanding differences, but there¡¦re no outstanding difference in ¡§Relevant backup,¡¨ ¡§Assistance in teachers¡¦ growth of profession,¡¨ and Execution features of counties and cities.¡¨ 4. Regarding the correlation between Product Evaluation Level and Context, Input, and Process Evaluation Levels (1) It shows positive correlation between Product Evaluation Level and Context, Input, Process Evaluation Levels. (2) It shows outstandingly positive correlation between Product Evaluation Level and 13 evaluation items of other three evaluation levels. According to conclusions of the research, here are suggestions to Ministry of Education, Education Bureau and Advisory Group of each county and city as below 1. Suggestions to Ministry of Education (1) Apply evaluation indicators developed by the research (2) Continue providing financial resources for Advisory Group of each county and city (3) Promote legalization of Advisory Group (4) Encourage Advisory Group of each county and city to innovate and establish features actively 2. Suggestions to Education Bureaus of counties and cities (1) Recruit full-time advisors (2) Construct human resources managing system for advisors (3) Establish self-evaluation mechanism of Advisory Groups of counties and cities (4) Construct the stage of ¡§Self-fulfillment¡¨ for advisers 3. Suggestions to Advisory Group of each county and city (1) Establish professional image of advisers as ¡§Expert Teacher¡¨ (2) Establish the mechanism of emotional interdependence and lateral communication between advisers (3) Continue promoting consulting service to school teachers (4) Strengthen advisers¡¦ abilities of applying information media.
