The UIS is also releasing an expanded dataset with estimates of mean years of schooling. This indicator measures the average number of years of education completed by a country’s adult population (25 years and older), excluding years spent repeating grades. Mean years of schooling are available for 149 countries, covering the period 1970 to 2014.

Resumen: El presidente Uhuru Kenyatta realizo una visita sorpresa a Joytown la escuela secundaria para los discapacitados físicos donde reiteró que el gobierno va a buscar la manera de reformar el sector de la educación para atender las necesidades de los estudiantes con discapacidad.

President Kenyatta said the government will ensure that the reforms to be undertaken in the education sector will streamline remuneration of teachers in schools and institution taking care of the disabled.

He was fulfilling a pledge he had made a week ago to some students from the school who participated in the Seeing is Believing Initiative of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Awards and President’s Award – Kenya held at the slopes of Mount Kenya.

President Kenyatta said the government will ensure all Kenyans get equal opportunities saying it is not fair for disabled pupils some of whom are suffering from cerebral palsy to undertake same exam with those who don’t suffer from any disability.

Two students in the school, Purity Wangare of Form 3 and Gabriel Mutua suffering from cerebral palsy recited moving poems in English and Kiswahili on why the government needs to consider giving special national exam to students with disabilities.

Students who suffer from the disease have challenges writing fast, drawing graphs and are also slow in oral communication.

They said that physically disabled students are forced to do exams in the same format, specifically writing on paper, like other students even though they are limited by their physical state.

The President said his government takes keen interests to the needs of the disabled and that is why he appointed a Principal Secretary in charge of special programmes to ensure they are fully catered for.

«There are many people outside doing wonderful jobs, in fact I have a disabled PS who is doing a fantastic job,» said the President.

Further adding, «We will do everything possible to support this institution and also you as an individual to gain employment or self-employment.»

He pledged to work in partnership with the school to expand its facilities and improve on its infrastructure.

In the spirit of Easter celebrations, the President who was accompanied by the First Lady Margaret Kenyatta and other first family members gave various gifts to the school and also cut a cake with the students and teachers who expressed gratitude to the Head of State for his surprise visit.

The School’s principal Leah Kamunye thanked the President and his family for the surprise visit saying ‘it’s a good Easter surprise.»

The school which was started in 1980 with a population of 30 students has expanded and currently hosts a population of 250 students.

UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS): Measuring inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all

Noticias

 Education 2030

Measuring inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all 

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will remain just that – a set of goals – without accurate data that countries can use to monitor progress and develop evidence-based policies. In response, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is leading the development and production of the frameworks and indicators needed to monitor SDG 4 to ensure equitable and inclusive quality education and lifelong learning for all by 2030.

To guide this work, the UIS is chairing the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on post-2015 indicators, which includes technical experts from UNESCO, the EFA Global Monitoring Report, UNICEF, the World Bank and the OECD, as well as representatives of different Member States and civil society organizations. The TAG has released a new proposal presenting a framework for thematic monitoring of SDG 4 (including 43 indicators) based on extensive consultations with Member States, experts and the public. These indicators are included in the Education 2030 Framework for Action, which was adopted by Member States at UNESCO’s General Conference in November 2015. 

 

At the same time, the UIS is working with partners to develop the initiatives needed to produce a range of new indicators especially in priority areas, such as learning, equity and education finance.

Ghana: Nigerian Students Shine at Ghanaian University Graduation

Noticias

África/Ghana/Marzo 2016/Fuente y Autor: Thisdaylive.com

Resumen:Dos estudiantes nigerianos ganaron el primer premio en la novena graduación Congregación del Instituto de Tecnología de Accra (AIT). Ghana, atrae anualmente más de  7.000 estudiantes extranjeros de cerca de 60 países para sus universidades privadas y públicas.

Two Nigerians have won the top prize at the 9th Graduation Congregation of the Accra Institute of Technology (AIT), a leading technology-focus private university in Ghana. The event held at the Ghanaian capital city over the weekend.

In a statement released by the University, Mr. Peter Hunnoho Moses, who graduated with a First Class Honours Bachelor of Science Degree in Information Technology was adjudged the overall best student of the graduation class with a cumulative GPA of 3.99. The overall best student in the Female category went to Ms. Odinaka Abel Favour, who graduated with a First Class Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with a cumulative GPA of 3.90.

In his speech to the audience, which saw graduation of Bachelor’s degree holders and PhDs, Prof. Clement Dzidonu, the President of the University observed that this is a major achievement given that, AIT has the toughest and the highest grading system within the university system in Ghana. «To get an A grade in a subject at AIT you must score above 90 and to get a First Class with a cumulative GPA close to the maximum 4.2, means that a student must consistently get A grades across the board», Dzidonu noted.

The Deputy Minister for Education, responsible for Tertiary Education, Hon. Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa, who was the Special Guest of Honour, congratulated the university for mounting mainly science, technology and engineering programmes which in his view was in line with the Ghanaian government’s determination to implement and enforce the 60:40 policy guidelines aimed at giving priority to science, mathematics and engineering programmes in the tertiary institutions.

He announced that in line with this, the Ministry of Education through the National Accreditation Board (NAB) and the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) has drawn up new guidelines that would ensure that the accreditation of new universities and academic programmes meet these guidelines.

The Deputy Minister also congratulated those receiving the overall best graduating student awards and noted that, Ghana is currently attracting over 7,000 foreign students from close to 60 countries to its private and public universities annually.

He announced that the government is mindful of the internationalisation of higher education and the Ministry of Education is empowering its statutory higher education regulatory bodies to ensure that the high academic standards of a number of the Ghanaian universities including AIT are internationally benchmarked to continue to attract more foreign students.

Chairman of the AIT Board of Trustees, Prof. Francis K. Allotey, in his address to the congregation, announced the election of two eminent academics to the Board, namely: Prof. Goolam Mohamedbhai who is the former Vice Chancellor of University of Mauritius; former Secretary General of the Association of African Universities (AAU); former President of the International Association of Universities (IAU) and the former Chairman of the Association of Commonwealth Universities.

The other is Prof. Anuwar Ali, the former Vice Chancellor of the National University of Malaysia; former President and Vice Chancellor of the Open University of Malaysia and member of the Higher Education Council of Malaysia. «With this new members, the AIT Board of Trustees, now boast of five former Vice Chancellors of World-Class universities; there is no doubt that AIT has the most high-powered and academically distinguished University Board on the African continent», he observed.
