The findings reveal that despite the conscientious efforts of able teachers a number of serious issues are apparent e" particularly in areas such as classroom organization and teacher diagnosis of childrene(tm)s work.

Download or read book Socioeconomic Disadvantage and Access to Higher Education written by Alasdair Forsyth and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socioeconomic disadvantage and access to higher education argues that the gap in representation in higher education between affluent and disadvantaged young people continues. The research looks at reasons for this, but takes care to distinguish between the factors which qualify young people for higher education and those which predispose them to attend. That is, which factors govern levels of qualification required for entry to higher education and which other factors act as barriers to the progress of disadvantaged young people.Through a survey of school-leavers, before and after leaving school, the report looks at:geographical patterns of academic achievement in relation to indicators of disadvanta≥the attrition from full-time education of qualified but disadvantaged young peop≤the variety of destinations made by disadvantaged school-leavers;patterns and levels of participation in higher and further education;student finance and parental support; barriers to full participation in higher education.·[vbTab]·[vbTab]The report concludes with policy recommendations for increasing meaningful participation for under-represented disadvantaged groups of young people which are applicable throughout the UK.Socioeconomic disadvantage and access to higher education is vital reading for policy makers and academics in the fields of education, young people and social exclusion, and anyone interested in higher education and youth transitions.This report should be read alongside Losing out?: Socioeconomic disadvantage and experience in further and higher education (The Policy Press, 2003) also by Alasdair Forsyth and Andy Furlong.

Download or read book The Scottish Political System Since Devolution written by Paul Cairney and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a narrative of Scottish politics since devolution in 1999. It compares eight years of coalition government under Scottish Labour and the Scottish Liberal Democrats with four years of Scottish National Party minority government. It outlines the relative effect of each government on Scottish politics and public policy in various contexts, including: high expectations for ‘new politics' that were never fully realised; the influence of, and reactions from, the media and public; the role of political parties; the Scottish Government's relations with the UK Government, EU institutions, local government, quasi-governmental and non-governmental actors; and, the finance available to fund policy initiatives. It then considers how far Scotland has travelled on the road to constitutional change, comparing the original devolved framework with calls for independence or a new devolution settlement. The book draws heavily on information produced since 1999 by the Scottish Devolution Monitoring project (which forms one part of the devolution monitoring project led by the Constitution Unit, UCL) and is supplemented by new research on public policy, minority government, intergovernmental relations and constitutional change.

Download or read book Military Experience in the Age of Reason written by Christopher Duffy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-12-20 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987. War in the 18th century was a bloody business. A line of infantry would slowly march, to the beat of a drum, into a hail of enemy fire. Whole ranks would be wiped out by cannon fire and musketry. Christopher Duffy's investigates the brutalities of the battlefield and also traces the lives of the officer to the soldier from the formative conditions of their earliest years to their violent deaths or retirement, and shows that, below their well-ordered exteriors, the armies of the Age of Reason underwent a revolutionary change from medieval to modern structures and ways of thinking.
