DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

Evaluating the Influence of Human Rights to Policy-Making: from the Point of View of the US and the UK’s China Policy The US-UK Relation Heading towards Iceberg At the very start of 2018, the US President, Donald Trump, continues to make waves. Although he was scheduled to attend the opening of the new US embassy in London in February after its relocation, he cancelled his trip to the United Kingdom out of 1 dissatisfaction with the site of the new embassy and the cost of its construction.1 The real reasons for cancellation of the UK trip, however, are widely believed to include apprehensions over anti-Trump demonstrations near the embassy, critical remarks by UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, about far-right videos retweeted by Trump, and criticism of Trump’s policy on immigration by London Mayor, Sadiq Khan.

    Procedure Committee Oral evidence: Procedure under coronavirus restrictions, HC 300 Wednesday 7 October 2020 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 7 October 2020. Watch the meeting Members present: Karen Bradley (Chair); Kirsty Blackman; Bambos Charalambous; James Gray; Andrew Griffith; Mr Kevan Jones; Nigel Mills; Owen Thompson; Suzanne Webb. Questions 319 - 337 Witnesses I: Daisy Cooper MP, Rachael Maskell MP and Dr Philippa Whitford MP. Written evidence from witnesses: – Daisy Cooper MP – Rachael Maskell MP – Dr Philippa Whitford MP Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Daisy Cooper MP, Rachael Maskell MP and Dr Philippa Whitford MP. Q319 Chair: I thank our witnesses for appearing before us today. As you will know, the Procedure Committee has, since the beginning of March, been conducting an ongoing inquiry into the way in which Parliament and the House of Commons operate in the light of the restrictions imposed on all of us as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. We are carrying out a short inquiry on whether specific improvements could be made to how the Chamber operates in light of the ongoing restrictions. In particular, we are looking at the call lists for debates and the way in which time limits operate, although we know that there will be other issues that Members will wish to discuss. They are the key points that we are focusing on with a view to making some recommendations to the Government before the next recess, which I know has been announced. Hence why it is a very short, sharp piece of work. It does not get in the way of our ongoing piece of work looking at the overall way in which coronavirus impacts our procedures, but it is very specifically looking at those areas.
