The economic shifts witnessed, along with dramatic advances in technology, have caused a tension between cost containment and cost expansion forces, with patients and providers caught in the middle. The door has since been opened for speech-language pathologists and audiologists to expand and congeal a more independent environment within the professional healthcare groups. We have greatly witnessed expanded scope and accessibility of skilled services for the communication disorders that have put pressure on the nation’s academic programs for the skilled entry-level professionals and clinical research and specialized training. Because of these, the economies of professional healthcare groups have benefited, from the changes within the health care sector.

...chapter explores the commitments that new teachers bring to their roles and the challenges they face. It sets forth the need for the development of a comprehensive induction program to help all new teachers become fully committed and more effective in the classroom. A CASE OF BEGINNING TEACHING Anna was a first-year teacher in an urban school. Although Business was her undergraduate major, she found her initial foray into the business world to be very unsatisfying. She wanted a career that would allow her to make a contribution to society. She heard about the need for teachers— particularly for math teachers—in her area. Not being quite sure what she needed to do to become eligible to work in a teaching capacity, she attended a recruitment fair put on by the local school district. There she heard about the program that would allow her to begin teaching while she completed work on a teaching credential through a district-led or a university-led alternative certification program. 1 Bartell 01.qxd 7/21/04 5:45 PM Page 1 After taking a test that measured her “basic skills” (reading, math, and writing), she was sent on some interviews at several middle schools. She was hired immediately and was told to sign up for a credential program. She was accepted into a program at a nearby university. She chose the university program because she knew she could earn a credential and a master’s degree at the same time. However, she knew it would take two or more years, including summers, at a pretty intensive...

In addition, about two-thirds (perhaps as much as 90 percent for cognitive skills) of the gains college students make in reading, math, science, the social sciences, and cognitive skill development will occur in the first two years (Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005). Many students, however, are not in college long enough to realize those benefits or, for that matter, any of the other personal, social, intellectual, occupational, and financial benefits of completing a college degree. On average, four-year colleges and universities lose 29 percent of their first-year students before they start their second year (ACT, 2004). Barely more than half (53 percent) of the students beginning a bachelor’s degree program at a four-year...

...Interest and student enrollment for liberal arts education has declined sharply while on the other hand interest and enrollment for business education programmes has seen a tremendous increase. This literature review examines works of several scholars and academic authorities on issues relating to liberal arts and business. The paper recommends an interdisciplinary approach in promoting and enhancing the study of liberal arts and business at the tertiary level. In concluding, both liberal arts and business programs remain essential to academic and social development. Moreover an integrated liberal arts and business education certainly develops thoughtful, flexible and well informed leaders 1.0 Introduction The past few decades have witnessed a massive shift from the study of liberal arts toward more “practical” and job focused programs such as engineering, business and medicine. This significant change stems from the desire of students and industry for university programs that are more relevant to job and industry requirements. As reported by Delucchi (1997) “the curricular trend in higher education since about 1970 has been toward studies related to work… Enrollment concerns in recent years have compelled many liberal arts colleges to abandon or sharply scale back their arts and sciences curriculum in order to accommodate student preoccupation with the immediate job market.” This is to say tertiary education has evolved from an orientation of intellectual development of people...

...Introduction William Border is a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development where he leads the Migration and Development Initiative. His current research focuses on the effects of international migration, and on rigorous impact evaluation for aid projects. Much of his current work focuses on development and covers topics including the impact of international aid and policymaking on education equality outcomes, as well as the post-2015 development agenda, the role of technology in quality of life improvements, and governance and anticorruption. It is commonly believed that BD results in a decrease in tax revenue to the government... I actually have a different view on this matter. From the remittances is it first of all the households that are benefitting from it, but secondly the government is benefitting as well. I will explain this in more detail. The remittances spent on the consumption of both domestically produced goods and imports increase the tax base, which in turn increases revenues from sales taxes, value-added taxes and import duties and other indirect taxes. (stroomdiagram) With the remittances, the individuals/society determine their spending priorities as opposed to the agenda of the government as is the case with taxes and foreign aid. Besides this, governments are now able to increase their debts, because of the constant inflow generated by tax, or governments can spend more on infrastructure. (Abdih et al, 2012) In other words, remittances...
