The EPRC commissioned a study, to be executed June 1968--August 1969, which would review the current state of world-wide educational planning. This research project, identified as "Studies in Educational Planning and Policy", under the direction of Professors Don Adams and Jerry Miner of Syracuse University will result in a descriptive review of educational planning techniques and experiences throughout the world and an evaluation of such planning with respect to its usefulness for integration in approaches to futures planning. The present bibliography has been developed as part of the research project, both to aid the basic research and at the same time to provide a research tool of value to scholars and practitionela in the field of educational planning and policy--a tool to be refined and improved, hopefully, with the assistance of those whe use and appraise this first version. Scope and characteristics of the bibliography In scope and intent the bibliography reflects the characteristcs of the basic research project: it seeks to be comprehensive, international and action- oriented. It is comprehensive in the sense that the area of concern goes beyond the internal planning of formal school systems to encompass other instructional systems and training arrangements as well as those interrelationships of education, economy and society which most directly affect educational planning and policy. It is comprehensive in another sense also, for the intent has been to survey the relevant literature without making value judgments on the quality of all items included--although judgment was used to exclude items which:appeared to be addressed culy to popular audiences. The scope is international, consistent with the world-wide overview of planning in the base study; although English language items predominate, titles have been drawn from non-English sources, notably French, Spanish, and German. The majority of non-English titles have been translated into English; where it was known that items have been published in more than one language, this has been indicated. ii The conception of educational planning which colors the basic study and the bibliography is action-oriented in that concern is not purely with planning in an abstract, theoretical, or technical sense, but also with implementation as part of the total planning process. Time-period. Gene:ally the entries date from 1960 onwards, though some older citations have been included where judged of particular interest or, in the case of national studies, where there is a dearth of entries for the 1960's. The cut-off date for inspecting major sources was December 1968. Methodology, sources, and organization Achievement of the objectives outlined above is a difficult task. The first version of this bibliography is primarily for circulation among specialists in the field. Their help is solicited in refining it so that researchers and practitioners may have at their disposal a research tool providing a survey listing of relevant current literature, organized so that items and areas of interest may be quickly located. (See boxed note on pageiv). Users should be aware of the limitations of this version occasioned by time constraint and by the sources and methods employed. The data for the bibliography were researched, carded, organized, edited. typed, proofed, printed and collated in the present form during the six-month period January-June 1969. Anyone who has undertaken production of a sizable bibliography will be aware of limitations imposed by such a time constraint: operations which might best be completed sequentially had to be perfoi"ed, in part, simultaneously; additional sources which would repair gaps in coverage of certain topics of geographic areas could not be obtained in the time available. At the outset, a fairly detailed listing of topics relevant to educational planning was prepared by the chief compiler.It was discussed and modified by members of the project group in light of project interests and the experience of members. The topics thus identified provided guide- lines for seeking bibliographic data. It is impostible to identify here all of the specific sources used in locating bibliographic information. In brief, the data were assembled by: - systematic coverage of volumes published 1960-1968 by major indexing and bibliographic services; 111 - systematic perusal of a large number of bibliographies, both annotated and descriptive, both of wide and of restricted circulation, of broad relevance for the present work or with specialized focus on particular topics; - direct examination of numerous books, periodicals, articles, government documents, monographs, con-erence papers, and extraction of titles contained in footnotes and short bibliographies appended to these writings; - examination of lists of holdings in personal cr organization libraries, and of catalogs of certain publishers, including OECD and UNESCO. Mimeographed documents were included in the search for relevant items and many are cited in the bibliography; though these documents have limited circulation, their existence is significant to serious researchers who may often obtain copies directly from the authors or organizations involved. Many thousands of titles were scanned by the chief compiler and around 10,000 of these were carded, together with source indication and, where possible, a brief note of content. There followed extensive discussion by project members regarding organization and classification of the data.Numerous possible taxonomies were considered before the adoption of the classification scheme presented here. Bibliographic items were classified on the basis of direct knowledge of content, ol on the basis of annotations from other bibliographies. In remaining cases, where inspection of an item was not possible, the title was relied upon to indicate content. Clearly, a listing of this size precludes drect examination of all items; some had to be classified on the basis of very general or ambiguous titles and the exercise of arbitrary judgments. In the process of classification, members of the project with specialized knowledge of particular fields were able to repair some of the deficiencies in the basic listing for particular topics or geographic areas. The compilers are aware of remaining weaknesses; however, with the collaboration of appraisers and users, these may be remedied in any future version. Hints to users Attention to certain features of the bibliography may help users: the format, chapter notes, additional information supplied in some entries, and the indexes. The looseleaf format and the layout in which each new sub-section begins on a new page allows easy removal of particular sections in use and the addition of entries provided either by possible supplements to this version or by the user himself. To make full use of this format, it is recommended that the bibliography be transferred to looseleaf binders. iv

Introduction The existence of a positive (self) image of a people is very important in the successful struggle for self-determination. An image can be constructed through various methods. This paper deals with the way in which an incorrect image of the Rehoboth Basters was constructed via the literature. Subjects that are considered interesting or popular, usually have a great number of different publications and authors. A large quantity of publications almost inevitably means that there is more information available on that specific topic. A large number of publications usually also indicates a great amount of authors who bring in many different views and interpretations.

Author’s Note I learned such a great deal from this entire honors capstone project, that all the knowledge I have acquired can hardly be covered by what I wrote in these 50 pages. I learned so much more that I was not able to share both about Namibia and myself. I can now claim that I am knowledgeable about nearly all areas of Namibian history and life. I certainly am no expert, but after all of this research I can certainly consider myself reliable. I have never had such an extensive knowledge before of one academic area as a result of a school project. I also learned a lot about myself through this project. I learned how I can motivate myself to work, and I learned how I perform when I have to organize such a long and complicated paper, just to name a couple of things. The strange inability to be able to include everything I learned from doing this project is the reason for some of the more random appendices at the end, as I have a passion for both numbers and trivia.

  • The Quebec Education Program (QEP) Makes up the Core Curriculum for Elementary and Secondary School Students
    The Quebec History and Citizenship Education Curriculum and the Benchmarks of Historical Thinking (BHT): Convergence and Divergence David Lefrancois and Stephanie Demers The Quebec Education Program (QEP) makes up the core curriculum for elementary and secondary school students. It is divided according to levels (elementary and secondary), then according to cycles. Consequently, there is one elementary curriculum and two secondary curricula (one for the first cycle – grades seven and eight, known as secondary one and two, and another for the second cycle, grades nine through eleven, known as secondary three to five). In terms of structure and prescriptions, differences between the two secondary school curricula are minor. The only significant differences relate to content: the social phenomena which are studied change from one cycle to the next. The QEP structures the aims, objects and content of the Quebec history program. The Benchmarks of Historical Thinking (BHT), on the other hand, are not part of a curriculum, but rather make up a series of key reference points for evaluating what students should be able to accomplish in learning history. Collectively, they represent structural, cognitive concepts of historical thinking. Examples of tasks centred on the Benchmarks concepts illustrate what to expect of students putting them into practice. 1. Conceptions of history and the purpose of teaching history There exists some convergence in the aims put forth by the QEP and that of the BHT, particularly in regards to students building their identity and worldview, as well as in the development of skills or intellectual and critical competencies. Where these two programs diverge is in the origins of their theoretical foundations.

  • Introduction One Setting the Stage
    Notes Introduction 1. For further reference, see, for example, MacKay 2002. 2. See also Engle 2010 for this discussion. 3. I owe thanks to Naomi Kipuri, herself an indigenous Maasai, for having told me of this experience. 4. In the sense as this process was first described and analyzed by Fredrik Barth (1969). 5. An in-depth and updated overview of the state of affairs is given by other sources, such as the annual IWGIA publication, The Indigenous World. 6. The phrase refers to a 1972 cross-country protest by the Indians. 7. Refers to the Act that extinguished Native land claims in almost all of Alaska in exchange for about one-ninth of the state’s land plus US$962.5 million in compensation. 8. Refers to the court case in which, in 1992, the Australian High Court for the first time recognized Native title. 9. Refers to the Berger Inquiry that followed the proposed building of a pipeline from the Beaufort Sea down the Mackenzie Valley in Canada. 10. Settler countries are those that were colonized by European farmers who took over the land belonging to the aboriginal populations and where the settlers and their descendents became the majority of the population. 11. See for example Béteille 1998 and Kuper 2003. 12. I follow the distinction as clarified by Jenkins when he writes that “a group is a collectivity which is meaningful to its members, of which they are aware, while a category is a collectivity that is defined according to criteria formu- lated by the sociologist or anthropologist” (2008, 56).

  • AFRICAN STUDIES INSTITUTE SEMINAR the Rehoboth Rebellion
    The Gubblns Library, AFRICAN STUDIES INSTITUTE SEMINAR The Rehoboth Rebellion by P. Pearson At dawn on the 5th of April 1925, a force of 621 men comprising citizen force troops and police surrounded the town of Rehoboth in South West Africa. Their object was to secure the arrest of three men who had failed to respond to summonses issued under the stock branding proclamation. Seven days previously a large group of supporters had prevented three local policemen from entering the building where the men were staying. In response to this act of defiance, the Administrator had mobilized the citizen force in nine districts and declared (2) martial law in Rehoboth. At 7am a messenger entered the town carrying an ultimatum from Col. de Jager, commander of the troops. It called for an unconditional surrender by 8am. The rebels asked for more time in order to evacuate the women and children, but at 8.15am three aeroplanes fitted with machine guns flew low over the town and the soldiers charged. Faced with this vastly superior force, the rebels offered little resistance, and no shots were fired. The soldiers and policemen were spurred on by de Jager to attack their opponents with sticks arid rifle butts. Women and children who surrounded the rebel headquarters in an attempt to (4) protect their menfolk inside were also quickly dealt with in this way. Six hundred and thirty two people were arrested on charges of illegal assembly and 304 firearms were confiscated. All of the weapons were subsequently declared 'unservicablef and destroyed. Organised resistance had begun some twenty months earlier on the 17th of August 1923.

  • Quebec Education: the Unfinished Revolution
    Norman Henchty Quebec Education: The Unfinished Revolution Profound changes have taken place in the Province of Quebec since 1960. The period is described as the Quiet Revo­ lution and like all genuine revolutions change penetrated deeply into every aspect of the society - the identity, the culture, the institutions, and the people. The French-speaking Quebecer was once defined by his attachment to tradition, his allegiance to the Church, his elitist view of society, his distrust of change, and his detachment from the economic life of the continent. But a new definition has been emerging over the last decade: concern for the present, adherence to a secular and political ethic, an egalitarian view of society, a commit­ ment to change, an engagement in the technology and econ­ omics of the post-industrial state. As the identity of the French Quebecer alters, the tradi­ tional assumptions on which the English Quebecer has oper­ ated no longer hold. His economic and social cocoon has been broken open and he finds himself a member of a minority group, a stranger in a strange land. His identity is trans­ formed and in an ironic way he exchanges places with the French: it is now the English Quebecer who worries about the survival of his culture and language, who seeks his security in tradition, who stands on his constitutional rights. As identities change, so do cultures and institutions. Churches and convents, once the citadels of power, become shrines of a history turned aside; the theology and history of the classical college become the sociology and informatique of the Cegeps; the triumvirate of doctor-lawyer-priest becomes that of bureaucrat-accountant-animateur .

  • A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.
