Grafton- shitty old place, really
I have this question for Religion which says;_

Evaluate the influence of Christianity in Education

But it also says in the marking criteria

Make a judgement about how Christitianity has influenced and affected society based on the following-

People
Structures.

You must take a historical approach

I do not understand the marking criteria.

I have made a summary of Education But I am unsure of what to incorporate into the question.

where is the question from??

If its a school based thing...I would question the relevance

syllabus
Students learn about:
∑ the primary influence of Christianity in Australian society within the period 1901 to the present:
– the influence of Christianity on at least TWO of the following areas in Australian society:
- education
- laws and the constitution
- medical care
- public morality
- social welfare
– the interrelationship between the Australian physical and cultural environment and the development of Christianity in Australia
∑ responses by some religious traditions to social change and initiatives in community development from 1901 to the present:
– ministry in rural and outback Australia



– the role of religious traditions in the labour movement, conscription, wars and the Great Depression
– the role and responses of religious traditions in/to at least THREE of the following issues/political debates:
- abortion
- divorce
- euthanasia
- gambling
- indigenous rights
- poverty
- sexuality
- the role of women in family, church, workplace and society
- unemployment
∑ the development of religious plurality and distribution/profile of religious adherence today:
– immigration after World War II
– the ending of the White Australia Policy
– the formation of the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977
– New Age religions
– religious conversion and denominational switching
– Pentecostalism and the charismatic movement
∑ recognition of common elements in religious expression and world views in Australia today:
– religious harmony and inter-faith dialogue
– ecumenical developments within Christianity, eg the World Council of Churches, National Council of Churches in Australia, the Sydney College of Divinity, the Australian College of Theology
– joint inter-faith and ecumenical initiatives, eg in times of crisis or tragedy.

Students learn to:
∑ demonstrate the influence of religion in Australian society in the period from 1901 to the present
∑ account for increasing diversity in religious adherence in the period from 1901 to the present
∑ examine common elements within and between religious world views in Australia today.

Unless Im missing something, there is no mention/reference to people and structures (they are "definite terms" that would be mentioned in the syllabus)

The only thing I could think of for education->historical approach->people/structures would be the Goulbourn (toilet) Strikes (the only historical thing re education..what impact did they have on th epeople of Goulbourn). Could also talk about election stuff now (funding etc) but really.....

this is where it comes from.

the question comes from a booklet of past HSC questions our teacher gave us
Yeah..I know where it is in the syllabus!! :)

Does it say what year the exam is from? There have only been 3 (01,02,03) HSC's that they can use as examples (not including trials) and anything outside of that should not be used (see my thread on marking crieria)

Edit: Checked past criteria for you and your question is not a HSC question from the current syllabus (01,02,03)

Marking criteria *tend* to not be as specif as using terms like you menntioned unlss it is stated or implied by either the question or the syllabus.
