SHARING THE BURDEN OF FINANCING: GOVERNMENT AND HOUSEHOLD PARTNERSHIPS FOR BASIC EDUCATION1

If the goal of achieving education for all is to be met consideration has to be given to how it is financed. States in which there is least primary education are often those with unstable governments and poor tax collection systems. In such circumstances, education for all is often best achieved by partnerships between governments, families and other bodies in both the provision and funding of education.     

EDUCATIONAL EXPANSION: THE WORMS IN THE APPLE

Expansion of higher education can undermine rather than enhance the value of education for low income families. Less well qualified children of higher income families are the main beneficiaries of the expansion and the value of the qualifications of those who do not participate in higher education can be undermined. The most obvious practical policy that would expand educational opportunity for all would be to treat all adult students equally and give further education institutions and universities comparable, as well as greater, freedom from government control.

理性弃学给学校德育的启示

有人说,教育就是熬一窝粥,不管基础如何,不管个体特征的差异,都放到一起熬,希望把每个孩子都熬成名牌大学生,这已经成为学校、社会、家长评价教育的一个标志。但在瞬息万变的当今社会,面对有一群孩子我们能否考虑要因材施教,也要因材"不教"。我们总想把所有的学生教成我们心目中的样子,把所有的问题生都转化成优秀生,可是,这样的工程好巨大,而且不是有投入就有回报的,我们教师不是神,能力和精力及时间都不允许。既然如此,我们为什么不学会取舍,放这部分孩子自由,教他们学会取舍,让他们重新选择适合自己的路呢?这不就是成功的教育、创新的教育吗?或许也是教育的巨大成功啊!

网络教育实施现状与改进措施探讨

网络教育的实施离不开技术支持服务功能的建设。网络教学作为一种新兴的教学形式之所以能够迅速兴起并快速发展,必须承认其具有一定的优势,即只要具备上网条件,就能随时随地进行学习。通过网络教学与传统课堂教学的比较,我们不难看出它有许多优点。网络教育通过开放式学习形式,为学员提供了比较丰富的学习资源和沟通环境,对学员自身掌控学习时间,合理安排工作与学习的关系等方面的确发挥出资源共享优势,因此网络教育逐步得到了广大教师和学员的认可。但是大家又不得不一分为二的看待问题,在看到它的优点的同时也要看到其自身存在的弊端。只有在开展网络教育的过程中不断发现存在的问题,并逐步想办法解决掉这些问题,网络教育才能实现经久不衰,可持续性发展。

Charitable giving expenditures and the faith factor

Using a permanent income hypothesis approach and an income-giving status interaction effect, a double hurdle model provides evidence of significant differences from the impact of household income and various household characteristics on both a household's likelihood of giving and its level of giving to religion, charity, education, others outside the household, and politics. An analysis of resulting income elasticity estimates revealed that households consider religious giving a necessity good at all levels of income, while other categories of giving are generally found to be luxury goods. Further, those who gave to religion were found to give more to education and charity then those not giving to religion, and higher education households were more likely to give to religion than households with less education. This analysis suggests that there may be more to religious giving behavior than has been assumed in prior studies and underscores the need for further research into the motivation for religious giving. Specifically, these findings point to an enduring, internal motivation for giving rather than an external, “What do I get for what I give,” motive.
