Guidelines To not Follow About Education

Guidelines To not Follow About Education

In 1852 New Zealand was granted self-government under the Constitution Act, and responsibility for education was placed in the councils of the six provinces.

The elementary schools were maintained by the zemstvo (local government agencies), the Orthodox church, or the state and the secondary schools mainly by the Ministry of Education. If the apparatus is longer than one line, the following verse is moved down, so that the text can be properly aligned, and the user can fully visualize all the conjectures and secondary readings for that specific line without having them overlap with the following verse. The quotation mark, on the other hand, will give the user further textual and contextual information, and in some cases, it is possible to also visualize a cross icon, which offers an overview of the different reconstructions of that specific line, also shown in the apparatus. Through these institutions, the university offers various courses that are industry oriented and leads to competence and competitiveness. While the general interface, the navigation bar, and the sections are given in English, the poems are available only in Latin, with no translation into any other language offered. English is increasingly becoming a signal of one's strength and is thus considered as a business language.

The English sociologist Herbert Spencer was perhaps the most important popularizer of science and philosophy in the 19th century. To offer a translation at least into English would be very helpful since this edition is meant to reach not only scholars but anybody with Internet access (Kiss 2020, 103) and it might also involve people who do not have a solid base in Latin in the Catullus Online project. 17Another aspect to take into consideration, aside from the employment of only a very basic but solid standard for the encoding of texts, is the fact that Kiss has not allowed Catullus Online to be citable through CTS (Canonical Text Services), losing a chance to allow the website to be accessible and employ the tools available through such a service (Blackwell and Smith 2014). This also limits the potentiality of such a project in the world of linked open data, which has by now become a norm in the digital humanities environment. Standardized tests take their value from the fact that all students in a particular state or region take them, showing competency in a way that individual grades cannot because grades vary by teacher.

8Another achievement of Catullus Online is the fact that users can directly visualize the images of the manuscripts, and the possibility to access these helps to shed light on the complex textual schema behind Catullus’ tradition, allowing academics - and other interested users - to consult the manuscripts behind the text of the project. In these two sections, there are many links to external web resources, which are clickable and offer the possibility to explore further the sources used for Catullus Online, although a few have not been updated and will lead to old or inactive pages. 15 Catullus Online does not follow the TEI Guidelines since, back in 2009, when the project was planned by the editor, he was not aware of the possibility of using models that were different from the digitized book and the text-only online publication. 20As mentioned before, the TEI Guidelines are not employed, and neither a model like the one used by the digital project Musisque Deoque (Biondi et al.

2005) - a platform where many digital critical editions of Latin literature are stored - is used. By then, the TEI consortium had already developed digital guidelines for digital critical editions like Catullus Online. The digital aspect of this edition was meant to allow for searchability through an interconnected text, a user-friendly and easy-to-use interface supported by all browsers, and reminiscent of the standards upheld by printed editions (Kiss 2020, 103). The constitution of the text is made in a rather traditional way, with an apparatus and a repertory of conjectures (Nappa 2017), to avoid distracting the viewer from the focal points and complicating the consultation of the website. 11 Catullus Online was originally born as a repository of conjectures, but later, the editor chose to transform it into a digital critical edition by adding the text of the poems to the repository. 10In “ABOUT THE WEBSITE” and “ABOUT THE REPOSITORY”, all the information about the methods and tools that have been used to build the repository and the website is given, and in “HELP” and “CONTACT”, you can find all the useful information to navigate the website and to properly contact the editor for feedback or further inquiries. The editor focused on the investigation of his sources, many of which had not been verified by previous scholars.
