As economic adviser in London, he made several missions to India, being involved with farmer extension and agricultural credit schemes aimed at the rural poor. In Pakistan, he was concerned with irrigation schemes in Sind and Baluchistan. In the Caribbean, he played a role in sustaining the smallholder banana industry in the face of competition from Latin American producers. In Sudan, he confronted famine and civil war.

In a concluding chapter, he reflects on the lessons of experience for outstanding development issues.

Download or read book Preschool Attendance in Chicago Public Schools written by Stacy B. Ehrlich and published by Consortium on Chicago School Research. This book was released on 2014-05-05 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students who attend preschool regularly are significantly more likely than chronically absent preschoolers, those who missed at least 10 percent of the school year, to be ready for kindergarten and to attend school regularly in later grades. The study, which followed 25,000 three- and four-year-olds served by Chicago Public Schools (CPS) school-based preschool programs, finds chronic absenteeism is rampant among preschoolers in Chicago. In 2011-2012, almost half of three-year-olds and more than one-third of four-year-olds were chronically absent. This report examines the extent of preschool absenteeism and the reasons preschool students are absent. It also examines the relationship between preschool absences and students' scores on measures of kindergarten readiness in math, letter recognition, and social-emotional development, as well as assessments of second-grade reading fluency. Ultimately, students who miss more preschool have lower kindergarten readiness scores, and students who are chronically absent in preschool are more likely to be chronically absent in kindergarten and have lower second grade reading scores. However, students who enter preschool with the weakest skills benefit the most from regular attendance.

Download or read book 12 Ballads for Huguenot House written by Theaster Gates and published by Walther Konig Verlag. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his 12 Ballads for Huguenot House, Theaster Gates chronicles his ambitious project to unite two disused buildings – one in Chicago and the other in Kassel, Germany – by dismantling parts of each to reuse in the rebuilding of the other.The forgotten and dilapidated Huguenot House, built during the early nineteenth century in Kassel, attracted the attention of Gates, as he would associate the histories of the migrant workers who built it so many years ago with that of black and Hispanic builders in his own neighbourhood in Chicago today. Meanwhile, across the ocean, Gates eyed a large, decaying building in Chicago, whose architectural details have remained intact.Gates envisioned an exchange and ultimately proposed to bring materials from the Chicago building to renovate the Huguenot House. The process will also be reversed: materials from the Huguenot House will later be reused to reconstruct the building in Chicago. In the pages of this book, Gates documents his plans for the exchange, and all of its elaborate and complex sociopolitical and historical detail, in twelve thematic 'ballads'. With illustrated work notes by the artist.Published on the occasion of dOCUMENTA 13, Kassel, 9 June – 16 September 2012.
