More than 90 per cent of the budget of the Ministry of Education is made up of allocations for staff. The budget represents nearly 4 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), while domestic spending on education, including spending from other sources such as other ministries and local authorities (regions, departments and municipalities), amounts to nearly 7 per cent of GDP. The local authorities alone contribute 21 per cent of the spending on education as a result of decentralization legislation, which has given them responsibilities as regards building, maintaining and equipping schools. (b)-(f) Data on budget allocations for various services for children and families The data set out in the following table are taken from the social welfare accounts prepared by the Department of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics (DREES) of the Ministry of Social Affairs. They concern metropolitan France and the overseas departments and cast some light on questions 2 (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f).

Chapter I identifies social forces contributing to the development and expansion of community colleges and the continuing changes in institutional purpose. Chapter 2 examines shifting patterns in student characteristics and goals, reasons for the predominance of part-time attendance, participation and achievement among minority students, attrition issues, and the most recent data on student transfer rates. Chapter 3 utilizes national data to illustrate differences between full- and part-time faculty and discusses issues related to tenure, salary, workload, faculty evaluation and preparation, moonlighting, and burnout. Chapter 4 reviews modifications in college management stemming from changes in institutional size, the advent of collective bargaining, reductions in available funds, and changes in governance and control.

  • What Is the Cost of Planning and Implementing Early College High School?
    The Early College High School Initiative What Is the Cost of Planning and Implementing Early College High School? Michael Webb, Ed.D. Prepared for the Finance Working Group, Early College High School Initiative November 2004 88 Broad Street | Boston | MA 02110 617.728.4446 | www.jff.org Sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Ford Foundation, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Cost of Early College Early College High School Initiative Early college high schools are small, autonomous schools that blend high school and college into a coherent educational program: • They are designed so that all students can achieve two years of college credit at the same time as they are earning a high school diploma (within four to five years of entering ninth grade). • Students start college work based on their performance. • All students prepare to complete a Bachelor’s degree. • By reaching out to middle schools or starting with the seventh grade and providing extensive support, early college high schools ensure that all students are ready for college-level courses in high school. More than 150 early college high schools will open by 2007, serving about 50,000 students. Early college high schools are designed for young people who are underrepresented in postsecondary education—students who have not had access to the academic preparation needed to meet college readiness standards, students for whom the cost of college is prohibitive, students of color, and English language learners. Early college high schools serve the developmental and intellectual needs of young people. They remove major barriers to postsecondary access and success.

  • EFL Haiti Needs Analysis
    Team EFL Haiti 1 EFL Haiti Needs Analysis Haley Berl, Dane Carson, Maggie Rodgers, Syd Schulz Introduction and Program/Situation For our Curriculum Design project, we will be working with St. Andre’s School, an Episcopal school located in Hinche, Haiti, which has eight hundred students in grades kindergarten through thirteenth grade. Our project is to develop an English Language curriculum that incorporates technology literacy through the use of XO laptops obtained from the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) program. In order to produce both an effective teacher training workshop and an English language and technology literacy curriculum for the students of St. Andre’s, it is important to understand the contextual situation of both the school and Haiti as a country. Haiti is a small third-world nation occupying the western half of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean Sea. Unlike its Spanish-speaking neighbor, the Dominican Republic, Haiti’s official languages are French and French Creole. With a population of just over ten million, Haiti is the most populous Caribbean country and also the poorest in the western Hemisphere. The small nation has a history of political unrest, natural disasters, and extreme poverty. Three- quarters of the population lives on less than two dollars a day, and infrastructure, especially in terms of basic sanitation, is lacking (US State Department, Haiti Fact Sheet). St. Andre’s School is a primary and secondary school located in Hinche, a city of about one hundred thousand in Haiti’s central region (Open Door Haiti, 2013). The school, which receives half of its financial support from the California-based St.

  • Wolff-Michael Roth
    WOLFF-MICHAEL ROTH 11. BECOMING AND BELONGING From Identity to Experience as Developmental Category in Science Teaching and Teacher Education [Thinking/thought] is always already a timely self-reproducing and disap- pearing moment in the total life of the individual. (Marx/Engels, 1969, p. 247, emphasis added) The psychological nature of man—the totality of societal relations, trans- posed to the inside, having become the functions of the person, the forms of its structure. (Vygotskij, 2005, p. 1023, original emphasis, underline added) The real basis of the personality of man is the totality of the by nature so- cietal relations of man to the world, that is, the relations that are realized. This happens through his activity, more precisely, through the totality of his manifold activities. (Leont’ev, 1983, p. 201, original emphasis) The three introductory quotations articulate a (cultural) societal-historical perspec- tive on the nature of human beings. Three points stand out; and these constitute something like the essence of the societal-historical approach that in recent years has become of increasing importance to theorizing activity, cognition, conscious- ness, and personality (e.g., Roth & Lee, 2007). First, thinking and thought are functions of the total life of the person, not merely of the momentary engagement with some task, such as the particular lesson taught or its conceptual content. Tak- ing the fullness of life has recently been suggested as a minimal unit for approach- ing individual development in the context of science and to understand student learning and personality (Roth & van Eijck, 2010); here I suggest taking the same approach to understand the who, what, when, and where of becoming and belong- ing as a science teacher.
