This book was released on 2005 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California has close to 2,000 privately owned schools that offer vocational programs not leading to a degree. These include schools providing training and certification for a wide variety of careers in such areas as computer technology, cosmetology, health care, and other business and technical occupations. In addition, there are over 300 privately owned colleges and universities that award degrees. These private schools and colleges are generally referred to as "state-approved" private institutions. They are regulated by the Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE) and may or may not be accredited. They are distinct from the colleges and universities that are commonly referred to as "independent." Independent colleges and universities are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and are not regulated by the BPPVE. It is widely recognized that the state's program for regulation of private postsecondary and vocational education is unsatisfactory. Some 13 reviews, reports and audits have been conducted in the past eight years to examine deficiencies in the program, the reasons for them, and possible solutions. Major problems exist in the structural framework of the law and the disparate sets of rules that govern different categories of institutions. In 2004, legislation was passed appointing an independent Operations Monitor to assess the Bureau's operations. In September 2005, the Monitor released a report with recommendations addressing problems in statutory, operational, and financial areas. The Operations Monitor's Report contains 77 recommendations for improving the oversight of private postsecondary and vocational education. Major problem areas lie in the structural framework of the law, the funding mechanisms, approval requirements and processes, and enforcement. This working paper provides examples of specific recommendations contained in the report.

Download or read book The Chicago Plan Revisited written by Mr.Jaromir Benes and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the height of the Great Depression a number of leading U.S. economists advanced a proposal for monetary reform that became known as the Chicago Plan. It envisaged the separation of the monetary and credit functions of the banking system, by requiring 100% reserve backing for deposits. Irving Fisher (1936) claimed the following advantages for this plan: (1) Much better control of a major source of business cycle fluctuations, sudden increases and contractions of bank credit and of the supply of bank-created money. (2) Complete elimination of bank runs. (3) Dramatic reduction of the (net) public debt. (4) Dramatic reduction of private debt, as money creation no longer requires simultaneous debt creation. We study these claims by embedding a comprehensive and carefully calibrated model of the banking system in a DSGE model of the U.S. economy. We find support for all four of Fisher's claims. Furthermore, output gains approach 10 percent, and steady state inflation can drop to zero without posing problems for the conduct of monetary policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "UNESCO has recently published the third volume of its Education on the Move series, a series dedicated to the analysis of key trends in education with the hope of inspiring dialogue among policy makers, educators and other key stakeholders on the challenges of education for tomorrow. The latest publication, entitled Unleashing the Potential: Transforming Technical and Vocational Education and Training is focused entirely on issues related to technical and vocational education and training (TVET). It takes stock of the steadily increasing demands and expectations on TVET systems around the globe and presents recent policy trends in the field of TVET. In their analysis, the authors provide insights into what it takes to unleash the potential of TVET systems around the world. They propose an integrated analytical approach that takes into consideration such factors as economic growth, social equity and issues related to sustainability so that TVET can contribute more effectively to contemporary policy issues such as youth unemployment, gender disparities and climate change. Overall, the book calls for a transformation of TVET systems to enable them to respond to the demands of their contexts. This transformation should enable TVET systems to acquire agility to stay current and responsive to the rapidly changing demands of the twenty-first century."--Publisher's website.
