  • Family Generations Stay with the Gentle Giants
    Family Generations Stay With the Gentle Giants Kelly McCarthy, Writer Louisville, KY - November 16, 2013 – Today at the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE), the Draft Horse Show came to a close after two days of impressive competition. Alternating with the action-packed Cowboy Mounted Shooting Classes, draft horses and their exhibitors provided spectacular entertainment for audiences in Freedom Hall. After the first round of Ladies Mounted Shooting, a two horse hitch entered the arena pulling more than just a carriage and its passengers… but also a legacy. While the Minniear’s Belgian horses are beautiful in all their glory, the family’s history with Belgian draft horses is something beautiful as well. Mike and Glenna Minniear, competing in the North American International from Goodland, IN, have made showing their draft horses a family affair. The Honey Locust Belgians began with Mike Minniear’s grandfather and uncle in the 1950’s, who started using horses in competitive pulling. Since then, Mike and Glenna have taken over and, after showing competitively themselves, have ignited a passion for draft horses in the rest of their family. The couples’ grandsons, Austin and Joel Huff, have also become involved in the draft horse showing community, making them the fourth generation since the founding of the Honey Locust Belgians. Appearing together while showing in horse hitch classes, the brothers take the reins for certain events. Austin Huff, 18, drives the carriage for the six horse and unicorn hitches, while Joel, 16, takes the lead during four horse hitches and the cart classes. Since their start in the draft horse community, the Minniear’s have always kept Belgians in their barn.

Durch die fleißige und engagierte Arbeit der Beteiligten konnte der Kindergarten im September 1991 mit 12 Kindern eröffnet werden. Die vorliegende Konzeption berücksichtigt den sächsischen Bildungsplan, gleichzeitig auch die rechtliche, verwaltungstechnisch, sozial und landschaftlich spezifische Situation in Dresden. 2. Rahmenbedingungen Der Kindergarten befindet sich im Dresdner Stadtteil Trachau –Wilder – Mann. Der von Gründerzeitvillen geprägte , grüne Stadtteil ist ein beliebtes Zuzugsgebiet für junge Familien.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

  • Short Cycle Higher Education in Europe Level 5: the Missing Link
    2011 Short Cycle Higher Education in Europe Level 5: the Missing Link MAGDA KIRSCH AND YVES BEERNAERT This project has been funded with the support of the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission Copyright © 2011 by EURASHE All rights reserved.

EURASHE Ravensteingalerij 27/3 1000 Brussels BELGIUM ISBN-9789081686709 This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. This publication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein Foreword ‘Level 5-The Missing Link’ is an intriguing title for this new publication of EURASHE for those not versed in the qualifications terminology. It rightly points to an existing lack in the National Qualifications Frameworks, at least in some countries in the European Higher Education Area (formerly ‘Bologna’). The implementation of the two- (later three) cycle structure also had to incorporate the level that is the link between secondary and higher education, and this for reasons explained below. It is a great merit of the two researchers, Magda Kirsch and Yves Beernaert, co-authors of the report, that they have taken up the challenge of mapping a sector of (higher) education in a variety of countries, which often have just this in common, that they are among the 47 that signed the Bologna Declaration, but otherwise have such different education systems and structures that make comparisons of levels and programmes extremely difficult.
