This must also include a rethinking of the means, methods, and institutions most suitable for the education of the child. What urgently requires correction is today’s dramatic imbal- ance between families and the state. It is an imbalance that over- whelmingly favors the controlling power of the political sphere relative to that of parents and children to seek out educational set- tings that are best suited to the full educational development of the individual.

  • Understanding the Evolving Roles of Outbound Education Tourism in China: Past, Present, and Future
    Athens Journal of Tourism - Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2020 – Pages 100-116 Understanding the Evolving Roles of Outbound Education Tourism in China: Past, Present, and Future By Sandy C. Chen* This paper discusses the evolving roles of outbound education tourism in China. To provide a thorough understanding, it first surveyed the origins and philosophy of travel as an educational device as well as education travelers’ motivations in Chinese history from the first pioneers in the Confucian era to the late 20th century. Then, it described key events and factors that have stimulated the development of the outbound education tourism in modern China and its explosive growth in the 21st century. Through in-depth personal interviews, the study developed a set of measures that reflected present Chinese students’ expectations of traveling abroad to study. A follow-up large-scale survey among Chinese students studying in the United States revealed two dimensions underlining these expectations: Intellectual Growth and Lifestyle. The findings of the study have significant implications for key stakeholders of higher education such as administrators, marketers, faculty, staff, and governmental policy-making agencies. Keywords: Education tourism, Outbound tourism, Chinese students, Travel motivation, Expectations. Introduction Traveling abroad to study, which falls under the definition of education tourism by Ritchie et al. (2003), has become a new sensation in China’s outbound tourism market. Indeed, since the start of the 21st century, top colleges and universities around the world have found themselves welcoming more and more Chinese students, who are quickly becoming the largest group of international students across campuses. Most of these students are self-financing and pay full tuition and fees, thus every year contributing billions of dollars to destination countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and Singapore.

For many needing their morning fix of caffeine but in addition a social network forms around this drink. As the globalization of coffee spreads, consumers and corporations are becoming more and more disconnected from the coffee producers. This research project will look at examples of ‘sustainable’ coffee and the effects the production of coffee beans has on local communities. The research will look at specific case studies of regions where coffee is produced and the positive and negative impacts of coffee growth. In addition, the research will look at both sides of the fair trade industry and organic coffee on a more global level and at how effective these labels actually are. In doing so, the specific effects of economic change of coffee production on children in Brazil will be examined in “Coffee production effects on child labor and schooling in rural Brazil”. The effects explored on such communities in Costa Rica, Southeast Asia and Africa will be economic, social and environmental.

West Virginia Law Review Volume 75 April 1973 Number 3 THE SUPREME COURT, COMPULSORY EDUCATION, AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT'S RELIGION CLAUSES* PmLip B. KUpLAND** I. INTRODUCTION As a preliminary to my usual jeremiad about the work of the Supreme Court, I would like to set out what I consider to be some essential background against which the Court's decisions on schools and the religion clauses of the first amendment should be seen. I want to suggest that you consider, along with my proferred analysis of the decisions, the American idealization of the educational pro- cesses to which we have become committed and some of the counter- vailing forces that have been rampant in our history. It has long been an American dream that education affords the means for upward mobility in an open society. The Supreme Court - here as elsewhere a mirror of the American commonweal, a mirror that sometimes distorts the facts- has framed much of the country's constitutional law on the unstated premise that formal education is the means by which American society remains fluid yet cohesive, pluralistic yet unitary, aspiring to be a democracy while being governed by a meritocracy.
