Download or read book Gender and Social Equity in Primary Education written by Vimala Ramachandran and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2004-08-19 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, India has made impressive strides in increasing literacy rates and in enabling access to education. The country now seems well set to provide universal and good quality basic education. Yet, behind this otherwise rosy picture lie serious concerns relating primarily to gender and equity. /-//-/This volume provides an insightful understanding of the ground realities of primary education programmes, particularly those run by the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP). Combining secondary research with field studies conducted in six states, the contributors explore gender and social equity issues in primary education. They conclude that there is a subtle but nevertheless discernible ‘hierarchy of access’ to education, which has resulted in new forms of segregation in primary schools.
Download or read book The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys written by Robin Alexander and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys is the outcome of the Cambridge Primary Review – England’s biggest enquiry into primary education for over forty years. Fully independent of government, it was launched in 2006 to investigate the condition and future of primary education at a time of change and uncertainty and after two decades of almost uninterrupted reform. Ranging over ten broad themes and drawing on a vast array of evidence, the Review published thiry-one interim reports, including twenty-eight surveys of published research, provoking media headlines and public debate, before presenting its final report and recommendations. This book brings together the twenty-eight research surveys, specially commissioned from sixty-five leading academics in the areas under scrutiny and now revised and updated, to create what is probably the most comprehensive overview and evaluation of research in primary education yet published. A particular feature is the prominence given to international and comparative perspectives. With an introduction from Robin Alexander, the Review’s director, the book is divided into eight sections, covering: children’s lives and voices: school, home and community children’s development, learning, diversity and needs aims, values and contexts for primary education the structure and content of primary education outcomes, standards and assessment in primary education teaching in primary schools: structures and processes teaching in primary schools: training, development and workforce reform policy frameworks: governance, funding, reform and quality assurance. The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys is an essential reference tool for professionals, researchers, students and policy-makers working in the fields of early years, primary and secondary education.

This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth understanding of how children’s development at different stages of their lives interfaces with the kind of education and support they need at school and home. It examines closely how education, in turn, influences their development and prepares them for an uncertain future. The chapters focus on the rapid developments of the 21st century that are changing the nature of education, especially the shift needed to being able to sift through and meaningfully deal with overwhelming volumes of information now available. This book helps readers understand how children can benefit from the digital environment while avoiding its pitfalls. Keeping in mind that in today’s world parents are getting to spend less time with their children, the authors provide research-backed ideas on how they can best enable children’s development, including their thoughts, feelings and notions of self. Given the increasing disparities, there is a perceptive analysis of how education can build an awareness of equity in a context marked by diversity and disadvantage. This book addresses issues such as these in a reliable, scholarly yet accessible manner, for students, young researchers and lay readers. Consequently, it is a valuable source of fundamental insights and understanding for educators, policy-makers, educational administrators and students of human and child development, education, and teacher training courses.
Download or read book GENDER SCHOOL AND SOCIETY written by Shivendra Singh, M Zaid Saifi and published by Booksclinic Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opportunity to pen this introduction to my debut book, "GENDER, SCHOOL AND SOCIETY," is one that fills me with excitement. Consideration of gender in social issues is the topic of this book. Being a boy or a girl has varied implications and experiences in different cultures, eras, and communities. Due to centuries of discrimination, she learned to view herself as a lesser human being and an insignificant tool in the hands of her male counterpart. Her sense of self and confidence were slowly eroded as a result. The more she tried to hide her inner emotions, the more entangled her authentic self became in her predetermined social roles. For almost twenty years, organisations worldwide and governmental strategy statements have prioritised the reduction of gender disparity. In addition to guaranteeing women's right to vote and other civil liberties, the Constitution of India also allows for positive discrimination on the part of the state in favour of women. Our democratic government has enacted laws, development policies, plans, and programmes to help women succeed in a variety of fields. To further ensure women's rights, India has signed on to and ratified a number of international agreements and human rights instruments.
