Nueva Zelanda: Mangere Central School pitch-in on roading project

Noticias

Nueva Zelanda/ Abril 2016/portal Education.govt.nz

Resumen: Un grupo de estudiantes de una escuela primaria de Auckland, han descubierto de primera mano cómo lo que aprenden en la escuela se puede aplicar en la vida real. Ocho estudiantes de la Escuela regular Central de Mangere, puso en su alta visibilidad chalecos fluorescentes para el proyecto de construcción de carreteras cerca.

A group of students from an Auckland primary school have found out firsthand how what they learn in school can be applied in real life.
Eight Mangere Central School students regularly put on their hi-vis fluorescent jackets and head to a nearby road construction project.
They join the other workers in line for bacon and eggs, have decorated the lunch room with their works of art and are set to lend a hand planting thousands of trees.
The student’s efforts are part of a special partnership between Mangere Central School and the redevelopment of State Highway 20A in Auckland.
Principal Maria Heron says when she first heard about the road upgrade she was worried about possible disruptions to school life.
But after talking to the project’s NZ Transport Agency stakeholder manager, Kelli Sullivan, the pair came up with a plan to get the school community involved.

«Right from the start, when NZ Transport Agency came to talk to us about the project, Kelli and I have worked closely together to make something positive of the disruption,» Maria says.
«NZ Transport Agency got involved in the school’s strategic vision and how they could fit in with it, which threw up a lot of opportunities for us.»
Kelli says she and Maria wanted to create exciting learning opportunities for students at Mangere Central.
Last year the school planned a lot of its curriculum around physical structures, bridges and infrastructure, so Maria says working on the highway project ‘ticked all the boxes’ in providing authentic learning opportuinities.
Eight students in particular have been readily involved in the project. Kelli says students were given the chance to apply for a job on site and were paired-up with a fully grown counterpart – from a mini health and safety officer to a mini construction manager.
«The students were inducted onto the site and given their own photo identification cards,» Kelli says. “They are given specific monthly tasks, for example the stakeholder manager helped work on a neighbourhood barbeque to discuss the project with the community.
«The children love being involved. They have all gone from being shy and quiet to fitting right in with the rest of the team, they are great ambassadors for their school and community.»

Kelli says the workers on site enjoy having the students around.
«They love it. To be honest I think that our workers get more out of it than the kids. For them it is like having their own children on site.»
Because the students are under 18 there are strict health and safety rules when they are on site. As part of the project team the students have supervised access to site offices but are not allowed in construction areas. Luckily, due to the scale of the project, there are many vantage points and opportunities to interact directly with the workers.
Maria says both sides have tried to be good neighbours to each other and help each other in their work as much as they can
«They’ve helped us out a few times,” she says. “We were putting in a new garden so they sent over a few guys to put the boxing in for us. It was fantastic.»
«On another occasion the workers discovered eels in an old drain. They stopped work and students were involved in the process of trapping and re-homing the eels in accordance with local iwi protocol.»
Being involved in the project has shown the students many different career pathways, Maria says.
«One boy, who applied to be a mini-engineer, went up to one of the real engineers and said ‘I really like Lego, can I be an engineer?’. He turned around and said ‘that’s how I became one’.»
A lasting legacy of the partnership will be a man-made wetland across the road from the school, which students will help develop. After the project is complete the students will be the kaitiaki of this wetland.
Kelli says partnering up with stakeholders and being a good neighbour is something the NZ Transport Agency strives for on all their projects.
«The SH20A team are incredibly fortunate to be working right beside a school.»

Papua Nueva Guinea: Higher Education Minister Calls For More Dialogue

Papua Nueva Guinea/abril de 2016/Papua Nueva Guinea Education News

Resumen: el Ministro, Malakai Tabar, de Educación Superior, Ciencia, Investigación y Tecnología ha instado a las universidades del Estado de consultar a su departamento sobre la modificación de la legislación.
MINISTER for Higher Education, Science, Research and Technology Malakai Tabar has urged State universities to consult his department about amending legislation.
“Amendments made are to improve their quality assurance system for higher education institutions and establish conditions to improve sector governance and coordination,” Tabar said.
“What is really required of Government institution is accountability to Government of the day.
“It is my desire that the higher education sector is unified to achieve quality in higher education, expand access to tertiary education in all forms, is well managed and administered and accountable to the State.”
Tabar commended the council of the University of Natural Resources and Environment for following the due process in appointing the new Vice-Chancellor Professor John Warren.
“The appointment of the Vice-Chancellor was done through the Higher Education (General Provisions) Act 2014, Section 109,” he said. “It reflects the desire of the Government to hold CEOs of
State institutions accountable for public funds, something that is increasingly lacking in our governing councils.
“This appointment also indicates the Government’s knowledge in respecting the decision of the governing council and its preferences on who should be the CEO of the institution.”
Earlier, Rabaul MP Dr Allan Marat in the recent Parliament sitting, said that the appointment of the acting vice-chancellor was “hijacked” and that no announcement was made about the change of leadership.
He said there was a push for the appointment of Dr John Warren from Wales by the senior executive management but Warren declined.
But Tabar said the National Executive Council (NEC) was yet to discuss the issue.
NEC had finally appointed John Warren to the position of Vice-Chancellor following the University’s council’s recommendation.

¿Qué busca Australia entre los jóvenes mendocinos?

Noticias

La Feria Educativa de Australia busca estudiantes y trabajadores para ese país y el 22 estarán en la Nave Cultural.

Australia/ 14 de Abril de 2016/MDZ

El año pasado se registró un aumento record en el interés de estudiantes argentinos en estudiar en Australia, con un 24,3 por ciento más que el año anterior. La investigación tomó como punto de inicio el año 2002 y realizó una comparación en cuanto al total de estudiantes por año. «Algunas de las razones de este fenómeno pueden explicarse en primera instancia que hay una tendencia en alza, a nivel mundial, de la cantidad de extranjeros que viajan a Australia a estudiar», afirmó Carola Wober, directora y fundadora de CW International Education, agencia educativa acreditada por el Gobierno de Australia.

«Asimismo existen otros factores que, de una manera u otra, hacen que la experiencia en sí tenga un valor agregado importante respecto de otras opciones similares del mercado. Uno de estos es que, a partir de una nueva implementación realizada en el año 2013, todos los argentinos que hayan realizado dos años de estudio universitario tienen derecho a una visa de trabajo posterior a la finalización de los mismos. Otras de las razones son, por ejemplo, la cercanía con el continente asiático y el atractivo que este mercado genera, las buenas experiencias que se generan a partir de los programas de ‘work and holiday’ hacen que ,una vez finalizado ese ciclo, muchas personas quieran quedarse a estudiar y el hecho que exista un visado para las parejas o cónyuge de quienes deciden ir a estudiar», indicó Carola Wober.

La búsqueda en Mendoza

Por primera vez se hará en Mendoza la feria educativa CW Australia Educa. En lo que será su cuarta edición en el país, la exposición contará con la participación de 21 universidades provenientes de Australia que viajarán a la Argentina con el fin de promover la educación en el país insular.

El evento, que es totalmente gratuito, se llevará a cabo el viernes 22 de abril, de 14 a 22 hs, en la Nave Cultural (Avenida España y Maza, ciudad de Mendoza). Los interesados en asistir, deben pre inscribirse en el sitio web oficial:http://www.cwaustraliaeduca.com.ar/ .

Los visitantes podrán disfrutar una multiplicidad de ofertas académicas a través de más de veinte stands correspondientes a las más prestigiosas instituciones educativas australianas. Habrá, además,seminarios gratuitos, foros de estudiantes argentinos que contarán sus experiencias y promociones para realizar cursos de inglés, entre otras actividades.«Este evento nace a causa del aumento , año tras año, en la cantidad de argentinos que deciden ir a estudiar a Australia. Frente a este fenómeno,la posibilidad de nuclear en un mismo lugar todo lo que una persona debe tener en cuenta al momento de tomar esa decisión adquiere una importancia», aseguró Carola Wober, Directora y Fundadora de CW International Education.

A diferencia de otros años, la feria también ofrecerá información sobre los programas de trabajo para jóvenes profesionales, que deseen obtener experiencia laboral en distintas áreas de especialización y trabajar de la profesión para la cual estudiaron o están estudiando. Se hará foco en programas relacionados con las carreras de Ingeniería, Hotelería y Gastronomía pero los programas están abiertos a todas las profesiones. «Este tipo de programas se vienen desarrollando con gran éxito principalmente porque quienes deciden realizarlo pueden acceder directamente al área de trabajo específica que les compete o interesa».

CW Australia Educa se enmarca dentro del programa de educación que impulsa la Embajada de Australia con el fin de promover la educación de alta calidad académica que ofrece dicho país. El propio gobierno australiano tendrá su espacio en donde se brindará información correspondiente a diferentes tipos de visas y becas.

«Es una feria educativa pensada para todos aquellos que tengan como desafío potenciar su nivel académico, ganar experiencia laboral en su profesión y, al mismo tiempo, conocer una sociedad multicultural», concluyó Carola Wober.
