Reino Unido: Un colegio prohíbe a los niños usar pantalones cortos en verano, y les recomienda faldas.

Noticias

Por: abc.es/ 06-06-2018

Un colegio de Oxfordshire (Reino Unido) ha prohibido a los niños usar pantalones cortos durante los calurosos meses de verano, y, si lo desean, les dieron la opción de usar faldas.

La Escuela Chiltern Edge, ubicada en Sonning Common introdujo recientemente una nueva política de uniformes más estricta que establece que los alumnos solo pueden usar pantalones largos o faldas, según informa «The Independent».

Cuando un padre preguntó si su hijo podría usar pantalones cortos para el verano, el personal del colegio respondió que «no», ya que los pantalones cortos no están permitidos, pero como el colegio tiene una política de género neutro, los niños podían optar por usar faldas.

El padre del niño, Alastair Vince-Porteous, dijo en declaraciones al «Daily Mail»: «Me dijeron que los pantalones cortos no son parte del uniforme. Es una lástima que no podamos ser más maduros al respecto, no estamos pidiendo jeans ajustados, solo pantalones cortos durante dos meses al año, no es gran cosa».

Algunos otros padres también criticaron el nuevo uniforme, que también introdujo americanas, ya que creen que la ropa no es apropiada para los meses más cálidos.

La política de vestimenta se introdujo en la escuela después de recibir una calificación «inadecuada» por los inspectores Ofsted en la primavera del año pasado.

«Los alumnos valoran su nuevo uniforme»

Pero la escuela parece estar progresando y la última inspección de supervisión Ofsted de noviembre de 2017, mejoró la valoración: «Los alumnos valoran su nuevo uniforme, son inteligentes y educados, y la mayoría se comporta bien».

La directora Moira Green, quien también introdujo horarios de enseñanza más largos desde que asumió el cargo, explicó que decidió eliminar los pantalones cortos del uniforme después de una consulta, ya que se decidió que era el atuendo más «profesional».

En un comunicado de 2017 Green explicó: «En septiembre de 2017, con el apoyo de los padres, Chiltern Edge tomó la decisión de pasar a un uniforme más formal y la decisión ha sido un éxito».

Agregó que seguían una política de uniformes «genérica», lo que significaba que se podía comprar desde cualquier lugar, y la única pieza de vestimenta de marca era un lazo escolar, que se entregaba a los estudiantes de forma gratuita. El problema, dijo, era simplemente que «los pantalones cortos no son ya parte del uniforme escolar principal».

We must not let education become the forgotten casualty of climate change

Noticias

By Silas Lwakabamba/newtimes.co.rw/ 06-06-2018

On World Environment Day, there will be plenty of words spoken about the obvious damage being wreaked by climate change – the chaos of hurricanes, wild fires and melting polar ice caps is there for all to see.

But there’s another more hidden casualty of this new world of rising temperatures, drought, and increased natural disasters:  the education of our young people.

At the simplest level, the wilder weather that we’re already seeing means children are prevented from getting to school. Hurricanes Irma and Harvey meant 1.7 million US students were temporarily unable to go to school last year – and officials in Puerto Rico have also recently announced plans to close over 280 schools following the devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria.

In wealthier nations, the damage caused by the increasing occurrence of extreme weather events more often than not tends to cause temporary disruption to children’s education.

But in poorer countries, the consequences can be far more long lasting.

Buildings and infrastructure can take months or years to rebuild, with devastating implications for learning. Girls are most likely to be taken out of school in the wake of climate-related shocks, as was found in studies in Pakistan and Uganda after natural disasters there.

So, indirectly, climate change is compounding educational inequalities that already exist.

But the hardest hit parts of the world are those where universal education is still denied millions and Sub-Saharan Africa is on the front lines. Adult literacy rates are around 65%, compared to a global average of 86%. Here, over a fifth of children aged 6-11 are out of school, and a third of those aged 12-14.

In Rwanda, we know the devastating impact of being forced from one’s home can have on a child’s education.

But the big refugee crises of the future will not just be driven by war, but by the environment, with experts warning tens of millions are likely to be displaced in the next decade by droughts and crop failures brought about by climate change.

What’s more, rising temperatures are predicted to result in the spread of lethal diseases. It is thought that a 2°C rise in temperatures could lead to an additional 40-60 million people in Africa being exposed to malaria.

The disease is already one of the most significant factors in student absenteeism on the continent, with estimates ranging from 13 – 50%depending on the region.

Environmental changes are diminishing children’s education in other ways too. Malnourishment directly affects children’s ability to learn. The World Food Programme has identified hunger and malnutrition as one of the most significant impacts of climate change.

Poor maternal diet means the odds are stacked against a growing number of children even before they are born.

Food shortages and crop failures can also cause conflict and political extremism – which can also blight educational chances. In Mali, for example, where rainfall has dropped 30% since 1998, the instability has created an environment where poisonous anti-education ideologies can flourish.

Recent years have seen many tragic attacks on African schools, from Boko Haram in Nigeria to rebels in DR Congo. States weakened by the economic and social damage of climate change will be less able to counter these destructive forces.

If states start to fail, then precarious state funding for education – which is already being squeezed even before the impact of climate change is taken into consideration – will be at risk.

The percentage of trained primary school teachers in sub-Saharan Africa has already fallen by 27.5% in just 15 years, from 84.4% in 2000 to 61.23% in 2015, according to UNESCO data.

Meanwhile, teachers from Nigeria to Kenya frequently find themselves unpaid at the end of the month. This despite the chronically low levels of remuneration; UNESCO has found there has been a decline in teacher pay across Africa since 1975.

As states grapple with increasingly perilous priorities in the face of so many threats borne by climate change, education funding may be one of the first things to get cut.

It is vital that we understand the threat posed by climate change to education and act against it. That is why I support the Dubai Declaration on Education and Climate Change made at the Varkey Foundation’s Global Education and Skills Forum in March. The declaration calls on the international community to take action in educating the next generation about the perils of climate change along six key principles: education is the responsibility of all; global interdependence and the imperative of planetary stewardship provide the critical context for education in the 21st Century; averting catastrophic climate change calls for improved climate literacy for all; education needs to foster a sense of global citizenship and ecological responsibility in all; and education reform and climate action should be pursued as mutually reinforcing objectives in public policy.

The Dubai Declaration is an important start in ensuring education does not become the forgotten casualty of climate change. But in the face of the multitudinous and multifaceted threats climate change poses to education right now, from children kept out of school due to extreme weather events to those forced to flee their communities by longer term climactic conditions, to conflicts, hunger and disease, governments must act urgently to ensure that every single child is given access to a good school and a well-trained and qualified teacher.

On this World Environment Day, ahead of the G7 Leaders meeting in Canada, it’s a timely reminder that climate change is doing immediate damage to the life chances of children all over the world who are being denied their birthright of a decent education.

Africa’s education crisis must be a top development agenda priority

Noticias

By: mg.co.za/Graça Machel/ 06-06-2018

Africa is in the midst of an education crisis. Despite pledges to improve access to education for all children by 2030, many African governments are failing to fund this ambitious component of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There is still time to address the financing shortfall, but only if new investment strategies are embraced with vigor.

Today, roughly half of the world’s young people, including some 400-million girls are not being educated to succeed in the workplace of the future. This challenge is most acute in Africa; although 75% of girls in Sub-Saharan Africa start school, only 8% complete secondary education. Sub-Saharan Africa is the only region where women still do not enroll in or graduate from tertiary education at thesame rates as men.

These problems are well known, if not always addressed. Less understood is the contradictory impact that Africa’s future growth will have on the availability of education funding.

By 2030, nearly 30 countries in Africa are expected to have reached lower middle-income status, defined by the World Bank as a per capita gross national income (GNI) between $1 026 and $4 035. As countries approach this level of development, new investments will be needed to pay for health and education upgrades, and mobilizing domestic tax revenue will become a critical component of budgeting strategies.

At the moment, however, estimated tax revenues in most countries will be insufficient to cover the costs associated with improving educational outcomes. As a result, an education-funding crisis threatens to dash hopes of sustained rapid growth and lasting prosperity.

Traditional forms of international aid will continue to play a role in the development of Africa’s education sector. And yet, owing to the projected increases in GNI, most lower-middle-income countries will no longer qualify for the grants and low- or zero-interest loans that are currently available. As a result, millions of young Africans will suffer the effects of a paradox in international development: countries will be too prosperous to qualify for the best funding options, but too poor to meet the educational needs of their citizens on their own.

Fortunately, the International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity, where I serve as a commissioner, has helped to develop a solution. Called the International Finance Facility for Education, this innovative approach aims to help lower-middle-income countries invest in education — especially programs for women and girls — in more sustainable ways.

By leveraging $2-billion in donor guarantees, we aim to deliver about $10-billion in grant and concessional education funding to countries that need it most. But there is a catch: governments seeking to access these funds must first demonstrate an interest in and capacity for long-term educational reform.

This approach is designed to improve grants’ effectiveness and give countries the ability to strengthen their economic resilience with a better-educated workforce. Research shows that in lower-middle-income countries, every $1 spent on education increases the earning power of graduates by $4. In other words, our long-term goal is broader than building schools or teaching math; it is to create conditions for lasting social and economic change.

Similar funding strategies have already proved to be successful in the health-care sector. For example, the International Finance Facility for Immunisation was created to provide financing forGAVI, the vaccine alliance. Eventually, billions of dollars in new funding was mobilized to help vaccinate more than 640-million children and save over nine million lives. The economic returns were also dramatic; one study that surveyed outcomes in 73 countries found that every $1 spent on immunisations translated into $18 in healthcare-related savings. The education finance facility has the potential to produce a similar impact.

Millions of young people around the world, and particularly young girls in Africa, are failing to excel because they continue to be denied access to quality education. With just 12 years to go before the expiration of the SDGs, Africa’s education crisis must be moved to the top of the development agenda. Government leaders routinely claim that children are our future. If they truly believe it, programs like the International Finance Facility for Education must be given the priority they deserve.

7 Crucial education technology trends for the last 5 years.

Noticias

By Richard D. Eddington/irishtechnews.ie/06-05-2018

The world is changing, and education must change with it. Many schools are aware of this fact and are trying to rebuild their activities in accordance with the opportunities offered by new technologies. Some universities borrow ideas from the business world, referring to the experience of successful start-ups in order to launch some new processes for themselves. Gradually, a paper routine leaves the schools, giving way to electronic means of working with data.

  1. School as a Service

School as a service begins with the commitment of the state to each student as a digital student. When states reduce historical barriers, the transition to personal digital learning will mean a school service: access to quality courses and teachers from several providers.

Education SaaS changes the basic assumptions – it does not need to associate time and place. This does not mean that everything will become virtual – in the foreseeable future, at least 90 percent of families will benefit from local schools, but this requires new thinking, new staffing models, new budgeting strategies and new ways of communicating with students and families.

  1. Mobile Learning

Mobile learning, also known as m-learning, is an educational system. Using portable computing devices (such as iPads, laptops, tablets, PDAs, and smartphones), wireless networks provide mobility and mobile training, which allows to teach and learn to expand beyond the traditional audience. Within the class, mobile training provides instructors and students with increased flexibility and new possibilities for interaction.

  1. Gamification in Education

Gemification in education is sometimes described using other terms: game thinking, the principles of the game for learning, the design of motivation, the design of interaction, etc. This differs from game-based learning in that it doesn`t imply that students themselves play commercial video games. It works on the assumption that the kind of interaction that players encounter with games can be transformed into an educational context in order to facilitate learning and influence on students’ behavior. Because gamers voluntarily spend a lot of time for gaming, researchers and teachers are exploring ways to use the power of video games to motivate and apply it in the classroom.

  1. Big Data

“Big Data” is a term that we are used to hearing in business, but it is also an important tool for education. Learning World explores this technological fashion word and talks with an expert on this topic: Kenneth Cuciere, co-author of “Learning with Big Data.”

Cukier sees “Big Data” as an opportunity to adapt learning to the individual needs of students and the learning process. Instead of avoiding this, teachers must accept changes that bring in large data, and use them to their advantage.

One example of the large data that occurs in education is the “Course Signals”, which allow professors to give feedback if there are early signs that students do not exercise or do not use class time.

  1. Blended and Flipped Learning

Blended learning is a pedagogical method in which the learner learns, at least in part, by providing content and training through digital and online media using the student controls in time or place. This allows the student to create an individual and integrated approach to learning. Blended training is combined with a flipped class approach to learning.

The Flipped class is a pedagogical model in which the typical elements of the lecture and the homework of the course change to the opposite. Students watch short video lectures or other multimedia materials asynchronously before a class session. Then, class time is devoted to active learning, such as discussions, design or problem assignments, or laboratory exercises. This learning model allows teachers to guide the teaching of students by answering students’ questions and helping them apply the concepts of the course during classes.

  1. Massive Online Open Courses

Nowadays MOOCs may not be so widespread as when they first attracted attention, and people no longer think that this is the answer to the problems of educational inequality. Nevertheless, MOOCs still deserve close attention, as it develops as an important part of education, and it offers its students many advantages if used well. Moreover, The New York Times called 2013 the “Year of the MOOC” because it attracted a lot of attention and money.

  1. Personalized Learning

Personalized learning is a sort of adaptive learning that considers working with computers to make decisions, based on previous levels of learner understanding when interacting with a computer program. Learning analytics and artificial intelligence are the essence of individual learning because without them it would be impossible to easily adapt the instruction on the basis of immediate answers.

Personalized learning can seem like a dream in many schools, but it’s already happening more than we can imagine – and often behind the back of the teacher.

The universities realized that technology can be a catalyst for improving the learning process. If many people enjoy using gadgets, why not to make them an education tool?

The Difference Between Roads And Education: The Human Mind

Noticias

By: forbes.com/Neal McCluskey / 06-06-2018

Should people be able to take government funding for their own private parks, roads or police? It’s a rhetorical question frequently used against policies such as vouchers that enable people to choose private schools rather than have their tax dollars go only to public institutions. The answer opponents are typically looking for is, “No, they should not. Like all those things, public education is a public good.”

It is a weak analogy, but much worse, it dangerously downplays what education is: nothing less than the shaping of human minds.

On a technical note, as my colleague Corey DeAngelis recently explained, education does not meet the economic definition of a public good; something “nonexcludable” and “nonrivalrous in consumption.” Basically, a good that non-payers cannot be prevented from using, and that one person using does not prevent others from enjoying it equally. An example is a radio broadcast; anyone with a receiver can listen, and one person listening doesn’t prevent others from doing the same.

That said, what wielders of this rhetorical club are probably trying to hammer home is not that education is a public good as economists see it, but that to work it needs to be provided and controlled by government.

If the intent of establishing parks is to ensure that natural space is preserved for all to use, regardless of ability to pay, it seems reasonable that government must control park lands. To build an interstate, there will be lots of privately-held property on the best potential routes. Lest road creators be gouged, or highways forced to slalom along inefficiently circuitous paths, the power of eminent domain seems important. And the job of government is to keep people from forcibly imposing on each other—e.g., assault, theft—so giving government the power to stop the use of force and punish transgressors appears logical.

But education is fundamentally different from these things. For starters, there is no logical or demonstrated need for government to provide schools. Schools do not require great geographic space, education has been provided privately at significant scale, and there arenumerous private schools operating today despite users having to pay once for public schools, and a second time for private. And as Nobel laureate Milton Friedman observed, government can ensure people can access education without providing the schools.

Far more important, education is inherently about the shaping of minds, and that puts people’s intimately held values and identities—things that make them who they are—in the balance. Requiring all, diverse people to fund a single system of government schools thus forces conflict and, even worse, threatens to implant standardized thoughts in all people. Parks and roads aren’t close to comparable threats to basic freedom and diversity.

The reality of treating education like interstates has often been painful. In the beginning of the “common schooling” era, many Protestants objected to public schooling “father” Horace Mann’s essentially Unitarian vision of what religion the schools should inculcate. The arrival of millions of Roman Catholics led to decades of conflict—including the 1844 Philadelphia Bible Riots that killed and injured scores of people—over the Protestant character of many public schools. Numerous Catholics ultimately felt they had no choice but to forsake their tax dollars and start their own schools, which by their peak in 1965 enrolled roughly 5.5 million children. Many African-Americans, after finally being allowed into the public schools, have had to fight to have meaningful power in the schools to which their children are assigned. And they are not alone.

Today, battles over people’s cultures, ethnic identities, and values are widespread and perpetual. The Cato Institute’s Public Schooling Battle Map, which I maintain, includes nearly 2,000 such conflicts, and with its content drawn mainly from major media reports, there are likely many conflicts missing.

Parks, roads, even policing, don’t come close to the intensely and fundamentally personal—fundamentallyhuman—purpose of education. To assert that letting taxpaying families choose their schools is akin to letting them build private thoroughfares or parks with public dollars at best trivializes education, at worst threatens basic freedom. Indeed, far from calling for government control, the nature of education cries out for letting all people choose.

España: ¿Sabías que la mitad de los niños afganos no van a la escuela por los combates y la discriminación?

Noticias

Europa/España/05.06.18/Fuente: www.periodistadigital.com.

Unos 3,7 millones de niños de entre 7 y 17 años están privados de su derecho a la educación en Afganistán

Afganistán cuenta con una compleja historia, que ha quedado reflejada en su actual civilización, lenguajes y monumentos. Los afganos se muestran orgullosos de su país, su linaje y soberanía. Al estar en un cruce de caminos de múltiples rutas comerciales e imperios, la cultura afgana es rica y multilingüe, con herencias de todas las etnias y pueblos que arribaron a su territorio, donde el Islam tiene una importancia predominante, pero hay profundas influencias budistas y nómadas. La literatura afgana la componen básicamente poemas en lengua persa y pashto, según wp. Su música la componen instrumentos de cuerda tradicionales como el laúd dotar o el laúd tanbur, por influencias árabes y persas y el tambor tabla, influencia india.

Casi cuatro millones de escolares en Afganistán no pueden asistir a clase debido a problemas de seguridad y pobreza, así como por la discriminación contra las niñas existente en el país, ha revelado un nuevo informe de la Iniciativa Global para Niños No Escolarizados del Fondo de las Naciones Unidas para la Infancia (Unicef, por sus siglas en inglés), según rt.

El 60 % de los 3,7 millones de menores de entre 7 y 17 años privados de su derecho a la educación en el país son niñas que tienen «una desventaja particular» debida a la discriminación de género. La peor situación se registra actualmente en las provincias de Kandahar, Helmand, Wardak, Paktika, Zabul y Uruzgan, donde hasta el 85 % de las niñas no asisten a la escuela.

La falta de seguridad en las zonas de conflicto y el desplazamiento de familias debido a los combates se mencionaron como los principales motivos que contribuyeron al primer aumento en la tasa de desescolarización en Afganistán desde 2002, ha explicado Unicef. Las malas instalaciones educativas y la falta de maestras también generan preocupación. Los autores del informe han instado a las autoridades afganas a garantizar entornos de aprendizaje seguros, capacitar a más profesorado y mejorar la pedagogía, así como alentar la educación temprana y el aprendizaje a distancia.

Chile: Rasgos de la interculturalidad: El nuevo escenario de la sociedad chilena

Noticias

América del Sur/Chile/05.06.18/Fuente: www.biobiochile.cl.

Un estudio reciente de la Pontificia Universidad Católica titulado “Migrantes latinoamericanos en Chile” (2016), muestra categóricamente que la realidad migratoria en Chile ha cambiado en las últimas dos décadas.

Números oficiales del departamento de Extranjería y Migración, señalan que desde 1996 la población migrante se ha duplicado en su relación con el total de la población chilena y que este crecimiento será progresivo en los años venideros.

Tal investigación, además, sostiene que los inmigrantes que tienen mayor presencia en Chile son en orden porcentual; peruanos (47,8%), argentinos (26%) colombianos (20,3%), haitianos (7,9%), dominicanos (5,7%), ecuatorianos (4,5%), venezolanos (4,3%), bolivianos (3,3%) y otros (1,9%). Estas cifras, sin duda, son indicativas de un escenario sociocultural que ha complejizado las relaciones interculturales y convertirán a Chile en un país cosmopolita.

A pesar de que históricamente nuestro país ha sido un lugar predilecto para varias corrientes migratorias (chinos, italianos, alemanes, españoles, palestinos, croatas, entre otros), la magnitud de la presencia actual de extranjeros residentes no tiene precedente alguno. Con todo y considerando que las relaciones interculturales son conflictivas en sí mismas, nos preguntamos ¿Cuán integrados están los extranjeros en la sociedad chilena? ¿Cómo deberemos habituarnos a convivir en un contexto intercultural, atendiendo a la necesidad de superar ciertos nacionalismos, estereotipos y clasificaciones arbitrarias que generalizan a partir de hechos puntuales? Estas preguntas, que para cualquier lector enterado no constituyen novedad, se tornan gravitantes en función de una convivencia plural y democrática, en el contexto latinoamericano.

…La interculturalidad intenta romper con la historia hegemónica de una cultura dominante y otras subordinadas…
– Germán Morong Reyes

Si asumimos el sentido último de la noción de interculturalidad, podemos sostener que las prácticas que impone esta definición son coherentes con el complejo escenario sociológico que debiera asumir la sociedad chilena en su conjunto. Esto es; entender la interculturalidad como un proceso permanente de relación, comunicación y aprendizaje entre personas, grupos, conocimientos, valores y tradiciones distintas, orientada a generar, construir y propiciar un respeto mutuo y a un desarrollo pleno de las capacidades de los individuos, por encima de sus diferencias culturales y sociales.

Asimismo, la interculturalidad intenta romper con la historia hegemónica de una cultura dominante y otras subordinadas y, de esa manera, reforzar las identidades tradicionalmente excluidas para construir en la vida cotidiana una convivencia de respeto y de legitimidad entre todos los grupos de la sociedad.

En Chile aún falta por avanzar más trascendiendo las buenas intenciones de las políticas públicas y migratorias, si queremos practicar y promover lo que sería verdaderamente una convivencia intercultural.

Esta convivencia, con los marcos señalados anteriormente, impone gestos y actitudes hacia la diferencia cultural desmarcada de percepciones indolentes, ultranacionalistas o derechamente xenófobas. En este sentido, sabemos relativamente poco acerca de los inmigrantes, más allá de los estereotipos generalizados, por lo que aún nos es complicado interactuar en igualdad de condiciones con los extranjeros residentes y, sobre todo, no visibilizamos las capacidades y el aporte eventual que podrían ser al desarrollo del país.

El mismo estudio, antes citado, confirma que la mayor parte de los extranjeros llegados en la última década constituyen un capital humano competente, dispuestos a promover y ser parte del desarrollo económico del país en distintas áreas profesionales. A contrapelo, una opinión común en el imaginario nacional ha sido signar a los extranjeros como un peligro, traduciendo su presencia en una competencia desleal al chileno.

…Su incorporación profesional permitirá nivelar la desigualdad que existe hoy en la entrega de servicios a la comunidad…
– Germán Morong Reyes

No obstante, su incorporación profesional permitirá nivelar la desigualdad que existe hoy en la entrega de servicios a la comunidad, por ejemplo, en el área de la salud. Qué decir de las competencias técnicas que muchos extranjeros podrían aportar si fuesen incorporados a empleos regulares, sin diferencias con los connacionales.

Aún más, todos aquellos que cuentan con documentación regularizada contribuyen con un porcentaje de su sueldo al sistema de previsión social y de salud, en el contexto nacional de una tasa de dependencia alta por parte de la población económicamente no activa que se sostiene de la activa, a sabiendas que esta última ha decrecido por las consecuencias lógicas de nuestro comportamiento demográfico desde los años noventa.

Otro elemento que el estudio citado aportó, es la capacidad de muchos inmigrantes de adaptarse a la diversa cultura nacional; aprendiendo los modismos chilenos conociendo de cerca ciertas tradiciones e incorporándose al ethos de barrio de cada lugar del país. En este sentido, diversifican y enriquecen la posibilidad de otorgar a las nuevas generaciones un panorama social diverso y rico, ya no desde una perspectiva estrictamente nacional, sino desde una mirada latinoamericana, de la que Chile es parte.

Sin lugar a dudas, la progresiva convivencia intercultural y el interés por conocer toda forma de alteridad terminará legitimando el sentido de la presencia de aquellos en Chile, más allá de las diferencias y las miradas desconfiadas.
