Book excerpt: The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, authorises a broad array of federal student aid programs that assist students and their families with financing the cost of a post-secondary education, as well as programs that provide federal support to post-secondary institutions of higher education (IHEs). Programs authorised by the HEA provide support for higher education in several ways, including providing support to students in financing a post-secondary education, with additional support and services given to less-advantaged students; providing support to students pursing international education and certain graduate and professional degrees; and providing support to IHEs in improving their capacity and ability to offer post-secondary education programs. This book provides an overview of the major provisions of the HEA; describes the Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant program, the Federal Work-Study program, and the Federal Perkins Loan program; and describes the several other programs devoted to financially assisting minority-serving institutions under the HEA.

Book excerpt: A Washington Post Notable Book of the Year A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice An award-winning constitutional law scholar at the University of Chicago (who clerked for Judge Merrick B. Garland, Justice Stephen Breyer, and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor) gives us an engaging and alarming book that aims to vindicate the rights of public school stu­dents, which have so often been undermined by the Supreme Court in recent decades. Judicial decisions assessing the constitutional rights of students in the nation’s public schools have consistently generated bitter controversy. From racial segregation to un­authorized immigration, from antiwar protests to compul­sory flag salutes, from economic inequality to teacher-led prayer—these are but a few of the cultural anxieties dividing American society that the Supreme Court has addressed in elementary and secondary schools. The Schoolhouse Gate gives a fresh, lucid, and provocative account of the historic legal battles waged over education and illuminates contemporary disputes that continue to fracture the nation. Justin Driver maintains that since the 1970s the Supreme Court has regularly abdicated its responsibility for protecting students’ constitutional rights and risked trans­forming public schools into Constitution-free zones. Students deriving lessons about citizenship from the Court’s decisions in recent decades would conclude that the following actions taken by educators pass constitutional muster: inflicting severe corporal punishment on students without any proce­dural protections, searching students and their possessions without probable cause in bids to uncover violations of school rules, random drug testing of students who are not suspected of wrongdoing, and suppressing student speech for the view­point it espouses. Taking their cue from such decisions, lower courts have upheld a wide array of dubious school actions, including degrading strip searches, repressive dress codes, draconian “zero tolerance” disciplinary policies, and severe restrictions on off-campus speech. Driver surveys this legal landscape with eloquence, highlights the gripping personal narratives behind landmark clashes, and warns that the repeated failure to honor students’ rights threatens our basic constitutional order. This magiste­rial book will make it impossible to view American schools—or America itself—in the same way again.

Download or read book For God and Country written by Elizabeth "Libi" Sundermann and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This postsecular study on Conservative and Christian thinkers’ intellectual ferment leading to England’s 1944 Education Act examines how politicians and educationalists promoted Christian-civic humanism as the educational philosophy underlying the Act. It argues that Religious Education and secondary and further educational proposals were meant to go hand-in-hand to shape a national educational system that promoted an English national identity based on ideals of tradition and progress for the war-weary nation. The 1944 Act’s historic Religious Education mandate, however, was overshadowed by the hopes and fears for “secondary education for all” in the postwar, class-conscious English society. The book focuses on the work and collaborations of politicians, educationalists, and intellectuals with special attention to three men: Minister of Education R. A. Butler, educationalist Fred Clarke, and sociologist Karl Mannheim. As Christian, political, and social thinkers these men worked in public—and behind the scenes—to create the landmark Education Act in order to bolster postwar England through appeals to God and country.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, grade: A, ( Atlantic International University ) (School of Human and Social Studies), course: Education and Law, language: English, abstract: For many of education managers the phrase “law” immediately becomes an incomprehensible maze of acts, administrative policies and judicial decisions. Every situation that arises in a school is governed by laws, rules and regulations, and every educators needs to be familiar with these and respect the rights and responsibilities of all interested parties. Every education manager and educators also be familiar with and understand education law so that they can use it to enhance learning and teaching. An understanding of the legal framework starts with an understanding of what it meant by the notion of “law”. This concept forms part of the daily life of every person in all nations in the world. In many aspects of education, like legal issues that govern students, it can be said that it is the law that provides the best means that should be used in disciplining students. With this regard therefore, the law and regulatory issues dictate either in individual school or in all schools what is the best method of disciplining them Lines. In the early days, the management of education and more specifically schools in many countries was in the hands of the state government. This shows that the government at federal or regional level was responsible in determining educational funding, methods of disciplining teachers and students, and accreditation in schools. Whatever the case may be, in order to achieve the intended goal of education policy and plan of the country all individuals in a school should have freedom of speech but this is not what is happening in most countries as school administrators usually restricts students’ freedom of speech. It is of paramount importance that all educators and policy formulators should pay much attention to the law concerning education in order to make sure that the law is not bent in the process of providing education to citizens.
