  • Informal Extended Education in Scotland. an Overview of School Age Childcare
    Informal Extended Education in Scotland. An Overview of School Age Childcare Irene Audain Introduction Scotland has its own devolved Parliament since 1999, and the Scottish educational, legal and cultural context for out of school care has always been unique from the rest of the UK. Hence, in this article I will shed light on the education system and on the school age childcare services in Scotland. In the third part I will give an overview of the Scottish Out of School Care Network (SOSCN) which is the national organi- sation in Scotland that fosters high quality childcare, play and learning for children of school age. In Scotland extended education and school age childcare is most often referred to as “out of school care”, then “after school care”, “holiday club” or breakfast club. There is also some extended education in Scotland in the form of homework support and other activities provided by teachers in schools, as well as summer schools for sports or the arts, however, the focus in this article is on the more prevalent school age childcare, which, although informal learning, is also a type of extended educa- tion. Early Learning and Childcare is the preferred term of the Scottish Government for what might be called pre-school education or early education and care. Learning is used rather than education as this acknowledges what the child brings as an active learner. Care emphasises the relationships involved and that care and learning are part of the same processes. The Education System Children begin primary school at aged 4–5, after usually two years of part time free early learning and childcare, currently 600 hours per annum, with the Scottish Gov- ernment aiming to increase this to 1,140 hours in the next five years.

    UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN—EAU CLAIRE THE BIRTH AND GROWTH OF SCOTTISH NATIONALISM: A LOOK THROUGH “IMAGINED COMMUNITIES” DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY BRITTANY MATTOON SUPERVISING PROFESSOR: JOE ORSER COOPERATING PROFESSOR: PATRICIA TURNER EAU CLAIRE, WISCONSIN DECEMBER 2013 Copyright of this work is owned by the author. This digital version is published by McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, with the consent of the author. 2 Abstract Nationalism presents itself as this rather ambiguous concept, lacking any clear definition because of its ability to be seen through the eye of the beholder and interpreted differently. So, constructing a form of understanding nationalism, particularly through the works of historian Benedict Anderson, I have applied the model to identify the growth of Scottish Nationalism. Within the 18th century the two parliaments of Scotland and England were united in the year 1707, dissolving the Scottish government. Instead of stifling the development of Scotland’s national identity completely it and the events surrounding it create circumstances for it to grow increasingly. This is seen through both the oppression that the Scots faced and through the educational expansion that caught fire and spread. 3 Introduction Scotland, beautiful and intriguing, filled with its own mystical background and antiquity, yet somehow it is not considered its own nation. At least not as of today. The desire for independence within Scotland is timeless in its nature. It is quite obvious by just glancing at its wealth of abrasive history with England involving war and the like. There is a period of time, however, in which Scotland’s national identity takes a leap forward in a way that it had not before.
