Book Synopsis The Emergent Knowledge Society and the Future of Higher Education by : Deane E. Neubauer
Download or read book The Emergent Knowledge Society and the Future of Higher Education written by Deane E. Neubauer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-12-13 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of higher education is by no means fixed: it has evolved over time; different models of higher education co-exist alongside each other at present; and, worldwide, there are demands for higher education to change to better help support economic growth and to better fit chagning social and economic circumstances. This book examines, from an Asian perspective, the debates about how higher education should change. It considers questions of funding, and of who will attend universities, and the fundamental question of what universities are for, especially as the three key funcations of universities - knowledge creation through research, knowledge dissemination through teaching and service, and knowledge conservation through libraries, the disciplinary structuring of knowledge and in other ways - are increasingly being carried out much more widely outside universities in the new "knowledge society". Throughout, the book discusses the extent to which the countries of East Asia are developing new models of higher education, thereby better preparing themselves for the "new "knowledge society", rather than simply following old Western models.

Book Synopsis The African American Male School Adaptability Crisis (Amsac) by : Joe L. Rempson
Download or read book The African American Male School Adaptability Crisis (Amsac) written by Joe L. Rempson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-03-12 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African American Male School Adaptability Crisis (AMSAC) cannot be solved by the school alone. It is a race problem which can only be solved if we black males provide the leadership in tackling our three major demons which now mainly account for the problem: IQ lag-fatherless families-crime. AMSAC had its origin about 100 years ago when, after the death of Washington, DuBois gained ascendancy in our African American Garden of Eden and replaced Washingtons brains, property, and character gospel with a civil rights agenda. That agenda has led to a civil-rights fixation and our second bondage, Victimology, wherein being the victim has become part of our core identity and made us psychological slaves. Rather than being proud and self-reliant, disproportionately, we have come to see ourselves as victims who are entitled to system help and special treatment. This bondage and it is a bondage -- vitiates our manhood and the energy and drive required to pursue the adaptation pathway paved by Washington, but demonized by DuBois. Return to that pathway and we can confront and conquer AMSAC and our three major demons. Guided by history and the research evidence, this book details how. Its 20 chapters make for long reading, but, just by reading the first and last chapters, you can get the message. The motto of the proposed evidence-based experimental program, the African American Male Career Pathway Program (AMCAP). A special appeal is made to black athletes and entertainers to help propagate this motto and support the proposed high school student clubs (Student AMCAPs) in its implementation.

Book Synopsis The States and Public Higher Education Policy by : Donald E. Heller
Download or read book The States and Public Higher Education Policy written by Donald E. Heller and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affordability, access, and accountability have long been among the central challenges facing higher education—and they remain so today. Here, Donald E. Heller and other higher education scholars and practitioners explore the current debates surrounding these key issues. As students and their families struggle to meet rising tuition prices, and as state funding for higher education dwindles, policymakers confront issues of affordability within state and institutional budgets. Changing demographics and challenges to affirmative action complicate the admissions process even as colleges and universities seek to diversify enrollments. And issues of institutional accountability have forced the restructuring of higher education governing boards and a reexamination of the role of public trustees in governance. This collection analyzes how issues of affordability, access, and accountability influence the way in which state governments approach, monitor, and set public higher education policy. The contributors examine the latest research on pressing challenges, explore how states are coping with these challenges, and consider what the future holds for public postsecondary education in the United States.

This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SDGs provide a new, vital framework of goals, targets and indicators that demand coordination and collaboration across multiple thematic sectors and among a wide variety of players – both local and global. Success relies on policy coherence at national and subnational levels, diversified financing, variety in interventions and multi-stakeholder approaches. For philanthropists and social investors, the implementation of the SDGs opens up new avenues. Now, more than ever before, being strategic about philanthropic investments means forging partnerships and becoming a force for action in various multi-stakeholder coalitions under the SDG umbrella, as well as contributing to accountability in SDG implementation. The United Nations Development Group (UNDG) outlined a list of steps on how to mainstream the SDGs, including setting up cross-cutting and multi-stakeholder bodies to ensure policy coherence, collective policy-making, planning and monitoring for the SDGs with the participation of civil society, business, and philanthropy. Thus, it is more critical than ever for philanthropy and social investment actors to understand this emerging complex SDG ecosystem in the countries in which they work and how to engage, influence and benefit from coordination around the SDGs. This primer is written so that philanthropists might better understand what are the avenues for participation in the processes, policies and stakeholders involved in setting up the SDG roadmap in Kenya. The primer is an inaugural product developed jointly by teams of SDG Philanthropy Platform Kenya and Global and supported by Dalberg Research.

Book Synopsis Educational Delusions? by : Gary Orfield
Download or read book Educational Delusions? written by Gary Orfield and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major battle over school choice came out of struggles over equalizing and integrating schools in the civil rights era, when it became apparent that choice could be either a serious barrier or a significant tool for reaching these goals. The second large and continuing movement for choice was part of the very different anti-government, individualistic, market-based movement of a more conservative period in which many of the lessons of that earlier period were forgotten, though choice was once again presented as the answer to racial inequality. This book brings civil rights back into the center of the debate and tries to move from doctrine to empirical research in exploring the many forms of choice and their very different consequences for equity in U.S. schools. Leading researchers conclude that although helping minority children remains a central justification for choice proponents, ignoring the essential civil rights dimensions of choice plans risks compounding rather than remedying racial inequality.

Book Synopsis Ethnic Identity and Inequalities in Britain by : Jivraj, Stephen
Download or read book Ethnic Identity and Inequalities in Britain written by Jivraj, Stephen and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2015-05-13 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As debates around ethnic identity and inequality gain both political and media interest, this important book is the first to offer in-depth analysis from the last three UK population censuses focusing on the dynamics of ethnic identity and inequalities in contemporary Britain. While providing a comprehensive overview, it also clarifies concepts associated with greater ethnic diversity, increased segregation, exclusive growth of minority groups through immigration and a national identity crisis. The contributions, all from experts in the field based at or affiliated to the Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity, highlight persistent inequalities in access to housing, employment, education and good health faced by some ethnic groups. The book will be a valuable resource for policy makers and researchers in national and local government, community groups, academics, students, and will act as an authoritative text to cite in reports, dissertations and funding applications.
Book Synopsis Black Educational Choice by : Diana T. Slaughter-Kotzin
Download or read book Black Educational Choice written by Diana T. Slaughter-Kotzin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book provides African American parents with the knowledge to diversify K–12 school choices beyond traditional neighborhood public schools in order to optimize the educational chances of their own children, and it will help educators and policymakers to close the black-white academic achievement gap throughout America. Closing the K–12 achievement gap is critical to the future welfare of African American individuals, families, and communities—and to the future of our nation as a whole. The black-white academic achievement gap—the significant statistical difference in academic performance between African American students and their white peers—is the single greatest impediment to achieving racial equality and social justice in America. Black Educational Choice provides parents, citizens, educators, and policymakers the critical knowledge they need to leverage the national trend toward increasing and diversifying K–12 school choice beyond traditional neighborhood public schools. Parents can use this information to optimize the success of their own African American children, while policymakers and educators can apply these insights to help close the black-white academic achievement gap throughout America. The book collects the interdisciplinary, multi-racial, and multi-ethnic perspectives of education experts to address the questions of millions of anxious African American families: "Would sending our children to a private school or a charter school significantly better their chances of closing the achievement gap and becoming successful individuals? And if so, what kinds of challenges would they likely experience in these alternative educational settings?"
