  • THE ACCOUNTING EDUCATION in LIBYAN UNIVERSITIES AFTER LIBYAN REVOLUTION of 2011 Case Study on Libyan Universities
    70 The Accounting Education in Libyan Universities .... THE ACCOUNTING EDUCATION IN LIBYAN UNIVERSITIES AFTER LIBYAN REVOLUTION OF 2011 Case study on Libyan Universities. Abdarahman M Kalifa Iwan Triyuwono Ali Djamhuri University of Brawijaya, Indonesia Abstract The aim of this paper is to explore the accounting educa­ tion in Libyan universities after Libyan revolution of 2011. This study analyses the influence of recent political regu­ lation on accounting education in Libyan universities. This study uses accounting courses, textbooks and accounting lecturers and teaching method on two Libyan universities as indicators of accounting education. Interviews were con­ ducted with some lecturers from University of Al-Zawiya and University of Al-Asmrya to obtain the required data. The study finds that Libyan accounting education has been reformed after Libyan revolution by current Libyan political system through the issuance of Libyan Education law No. (66) 2011 by the Ministry of Libyan Education. This law cancels any subjects relating to previous Libyan political system such as four courses of political culture. Other find­ ings are: the introduction and implementation, the number of lecturers sent to UK to learn new teaching methods and the number of Libyan lecturers are increasing. Key words: accounting courses, textbooks and accounting lectures and teaching method. INTRODUCTION An accounting education system is similar to any education sys­ tem which consists of students, academic staff, accounting curriculum, and resources (library, computers, facilities and technology). Additional­ ly, the accounting education system itself is a factor of the wider national education system of the country. The education system is affected by and affects social, economical, political, and cultural environments of the Vol.

The general theme is that attitudes of understanding and tolerance can lead to substantive improvements in professional morale and classroom effectiveness. Emphasizing the different regicnal factors and cultural sources of many areas known to be problematic, the paper identifies and analyzes such attitudinal and perceptual concepts as time, nncver-say-no-ism," expatriate feelings of temporariness and alienation, education as a perceived 'value, the image of teachers, and the role and image of women. 2actors affecting linguistic pre-conditionings and their effects on teaching are evaluated as well. Draving upon the accumulated and multi-national experiences of English teachers in Libya (case study), Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and other Arab countries, the paper also examines various practical aspects of teaching which include coeducation, familiarity with students, cheating, and the role of EFL in the curriculum.

  • The Libyan National Transitional Council: Social Bases, Membership and Political Trends
    Reports The Libyan National Transitional Council: Social Bases, Membership and Political Trends Professor Ali Abdullatif Ahmida* Al Jazeera Centre for Studies 30 October 2011 Tel: +974-44663454 jcforstudies@aljazeera.net http://studies.aljazeera.net The aim of this essay is to examine the historical bases of the opposition forces behind the making of the revolutionary coalition in Libya, which led the struggle and defeated the dictatorship of Muammar Qaddafi on 21st October 2011. The current reporting and commentary on Libya‟s democratic uprising is framed by three myths: the focus on Qaddafi, that Libya‟s colonial brutal experience is similar to that of Egypt and Tunisia, and the view of Libyan society through the ideology of tribalism. The Libyan people suffered from one of the most brutal colonial powers in Africa, and half a million people died during the colonial period between 1922-1943, including 60,000 in Italian concentration camps before the holocaust. The trauma and the scars of colonialism were silenced during the Sanusi monarchy between 1951-69. One can make the argument that Qaddafi‟s early anti-colonial populism was not an obsession, but rooted in the modern colonial experience of the Libyan people who felt that their suffering had not been recognized. There are two phases to the old regime: a populist and modernising nationalist regime between 1969 and 1980, and a police state led by a demagogy and a cult of personality using larger oil revenues of a rentier economy and Arab and foreign labor to assert its autonomy from society. The main thesis here is that the inability of the Qaddafi regime to make serious political reforms appropriate to the changes in the economy, education, and society inevitably led to conflict between social structure and the rigid political system.
