Various national development programs are being planned and implemented under a federal structure whereby both the Centre and the State share the responsibility and the resources. One amongst them is the Education, which was not always a shared responsibility rather was a State subject where the Centre played only the role of advisor. When India got independence in 1947, the literacy rates at that time were very low, with only 27% male and 9% female population as literates (Census of India, 1951). The reason for this was the education system followed by...

...Education Development in Kuwait Education has done a noticeable effect in development over the years, demonstrating a remarkable shift in Kuwait development, as well as in the world collectively. The factors that distinguish Kuwait now from Kuwait in the past are human resources and rapid development. Irrespective of illiteracy in the past, Kuwait has done a giant leap to accomplish literacy to the population through encouraging and offering free education to their citizens. As a result, Kuwait education enhanced their infrastructure, financial, health, and technological support. However, comparing Kuwait to other developed countries, it is noticed that those countries are having new techniques and methods of teaching students, which are...

...INTRODUCTION Education for Sustainable Development(ESD) allows every human being to gain the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to build a sustainable future. Education for Sustainable Development means including key sustainable development issues into teaching and learning, for example climate change, disaster risk reduction, biodiversity, poverty reduction, and sustainable consumption. It also requires teaching and learning methods that can motivate and encourage learners to change their behaviour and concern for sustainable development. Education for Sustainable Development also promotes competencies like critical thinking, imagining future scenarios and making decisions in a collaborative way. Sustainability education (ES), Education for Sustainability (EfS), and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) are interchangeable terms describing the practice of teaching for sustainability. Various approaches to ESD encourage people to understand the complexity, and synergies between, the issues threatening planetary sustainability and understand and assess their own values and those of the society who live in the context of sustainability. ESD seeks to involve people in sustainable future negotiation, decision making and acting on them. It is generally agreed that sustainability education must be customized for individual learners, according to Tilbury and Wortman, the following skills are essential to ESD. Envisioning – being able to imagine a better...

...implementing National Sustainable Development Strategies (NSDS). Sustainable Development competes with many deeply entrenched values and therefore progress has been slow. Tensions between long term and short term thinking, and between economic growth and social and environmental sustainability, are not easy to resolve. The NSDS process has gained impetus following the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, where it was agreed that countries need to take immediate steps to elaborate and formulate NSDS systems that can continuously improve. The UN Guidance Document describes an NSDS as a comprehensive, adaptable, continuous and long term undertaking that helps a country to achieve economic prosperity and higher levels of social welfare, while at the same time preserving the environment. An NSDS is not just something that can be put together in a document and be promulgated. Development of an NSDS requires multi-stakeholder participation, partnerships, country ownership, shared vision with a commitment to continuous improvement, capacity development and the ability to build on existing knowledge and processes and a clear focus on outcomes. Education is a central dimension of achieving sustainable development, and needs to be incorporated into the NSDS process. Learning is central to the process of NSDS development and implementation. Education for Sustainable Development and National Sustainable Development Strategies Education has been identified as an important...

...Analyze the Effects of Education on Development of Countries In the past few years, many countries are in the high speed of development process. During this competitive period, the demand for talent worldwide is increasing rapidly. The governments are gradually aware of the importance in investing in education to improve their governance. For instance, around the world 78 percent of children graduated from primary school in 2000, while by 2005 this figure rose to 83 percent (Brown, 2008). Education is now considered at the top priority in a nation’s development. There is not an overstatement that each country needs an education system which is adapted to the condition of a country. Moreover, every country is still mapping out a road towards a proper education system. In this long transition, education has brought many effects to the development on economy, politics and society. This essay will examine each of these three key points individually and consider how education has affected the development of countries. Education is important to the individual’s economy. There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor at present all over the world. Poverty seems to be inherited, and the majority of these poor are the children of people who lived in poverty and are not able to acquire knowledge as equally as the rich peers do. The result of this is that poor children have to struggle to compete with adults to gain jobs. However, there is a solution which is offering poor children...

...One of the crucial elements which contribute to the development of a person is education. People should be surrounded with good opportunities throughout their lives, and having received a good education gives them a greater chance of doing so, because education enables them to have more welfare in life. As people live in prosperities, the development of a country will be carried to a good level in the future. In my opinion, education is the single and most important in the development of a country. First of all, education is something that follows us as we grow up to be adolescents. Children start school generally when they are 4~6 years old, and in that process of going through their childhood and teenage period, they structure their outline of life from their experiences gained at school. Many decisions are asked and required by and from the students, and dreams and goals are also concepted at school. These decisions and visions construct a person's character, habits, and one's way of thinking. If inadequate education were to meet a student during this phase, then the potentials that one might certainly pertain in a normal educational environment might not be possible. Going on, the gap between the well educated and less educated is evermore becoming a great problem in many countries around the world. Well-educated people are thought of as a valued asset in accordance to their country and society. As these 'well-educated' people continue to gain a higher status...

...The contributions of western education to development in Nigeria. If a man is born blind, he may not appreciate what it means to see the light, but ones his sight is recovered he would definitely not want to be thrown back into perpetual darkness. Darkness, blindness or ignorance are terms that could be interchangeably used to describe the state of Nigeria before the advent of western education. No matter how beautiful or promising an environment may be, it would neither be seen nor appreciated in darkness. Light is needed to appreciate anything good, amend anything that is not good enough or throw away anything that is bad outright. Western education came with light appreciating treasures we had with us all the time but never discovered right under the ground. At a time, it was called the ‘black gold’. The discovery of crude oil in Nigeria would not have been possible without our embracing western education. The proceeds from crude oil have in no little way contributed to the development of Nigeria today. With western education came literacy, the ability to read and write which has immensely helped in the acquisition of knowledge and set the foundation for our educational system today. Western education brought with it other dividends of westernization like electricity, pipe-borne water, improved healthcare system, mechanized agriculture with improved yields, the internet making us a part of the global village, GSM technology making communication easier and faster...

Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria Abstract What is now known as Nigeria consisted of two distinct geographical, cultural and educational divides in the course of state formation, migration and ethnic development. There existed before 1914, the Northern and Southern protectorates of Nigeria and the Colony of Lagos. The Northern protectorate was predominantly dominated by the Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri speaking people, who had for over a thousand years (7001914) been wrapped with Islamic religion, Koranic Education and Arabic Literacy, and committed to Muslim and Arabic education, tradition and culture. The north rejected the Christian Missionary form of education when it was introduced to the area in 1845 – Graham (1966). The Southern protectorate was predominantly dominated by the Yoruba and Igbo speaking people, who for many centuries had developed along the indigenous form of traditional education and culture, and who barely seventy two years 18421914 imbibed the European form of education regarded as Formal or “Western Education”. The missionaries established mission schools and people became literates in the Roman script. This scenario was the case of...

...New times for education Issues of development & Fairness RUBEN DE FREITAS CABRAL SYMPOSIUM – RICCI INSTITUTE 27 NOVEMBER 2009 MACAU The world is full of people who have never, since childhood, met an open doorway with an open mind. The implication of these words from E. B. White, a famous American writer and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, refers to something that happens to the vast majority of people in the developed and in large segments of the developing worlds, which is schooling. Hardly anybody denies the importance of schooling. At the very least, places must exist where parents can leave their children, especially when both have to go to work for the better part of the day. The relevance, however, of what happens in schools is another matter. Schools are still mired in the predicament of transmitting and withdrawing known knowledge, if that is at all possible. It is the process that Paulo Freire used to call the banking concept of education: The teacher makes deposits in the heads of students which are followed by period withdrawals (tests, quizzes and all other manners of justifying the purpose of supposedly depositing knowledge). Freire goes on to say that For apart from inquiry, apart from praxis, men cannot be truly human. Knowledge emerges only through invention and re-invention, through the restless, impatient, continuing, hopeful inquiry men pursue in the world, with the world, and with each other. (…) Yet only through communication can human...

...Appropriate and Inappropriate Behaviors Appropriate Behavior: 1. Follow Classroom Rules: Promotes a readiness to be able to learn while inside the classroom. 2. Keep Hands Feet and Objects to Yourself: Promotes respect for each other's body and personal space. 3. Don't Talk Out of Turn: Helps prevent you from missing something important that someone else might be trying to say. 4. Use Positive Words: Sends a message of how you want to be treated and how people should treat you. Inappropriate Behaviors: 1. No Bullying, Verbal, Physical, or Social. Helps maintain a feeling of safety and judgment free classroom. 2. No Yelling: Promotes a positive tone for the classroom atmosphere 3.No Cheating: All students are responsible for their own work. 4. No Stealing: Allows the students to realize they need to respect everyone’s personal items inside the school. Teachers and the schools atmosphere help students make a distinction between appropriate and inappropriate behavior. The teacher is often the best person to lead by example. The teacher sets the tone for the classroom as a whole. Children require an example to determine the correct response between right and wrong. Teachers often will use a reward system to point out appropriate behaviors as well as inappropriate behaviors. Reward systems only works if there is consistence and how quick the teacher reacts to the behavior. One example can be a token reward system. This is a nonverbal cue. The...

...Education Is The Only Most Significant Aspect Of Economic Development For a country to grow economically there requires being engagement of human capital and skills. However, skill are created and enhanced through formal schooling. It is believed that economy interacts positively with education an aspect that leads to prosperity of a country’s economy. Since the advancement of technology, education becomes increasingly valuable as well as its utilization in various aspects on the job. By enabling employees to continue their education, they are more likely to improve their work rate and in doing so increase economic growth. In this view, the country needs to train and educate workers to enhance their performances in these industries. While it is believed that other factors such as economic policies, institutional quality, government, resources endowments, national resources, and cultures foster economic development, education is only significant factor that supports economic development. The modern economy is characterized by technology oriented goods and services. These qualities in the market require enhanced level of education to achieve the economic goals set by the country and the society. In order to use the products that serve the contemporary world, consumers are required to adopt the necessary information and knowledge about the commodities. Acquiring the important information on the product use is the act of education. Thus, through education, the quality...

...Education and Gender Equality within Millennium Development Goals: KSA & China Name: Institution: Course: Date: Declaration I hereby declare that this is my work and nothing has been plagiarized. Every aspect of this work has been appropriately referenced using the APA referencing format. Executive Summary Table of Contents Contents of the report with page numbers, list of tables, and list of figures. Introduction to the Research Topic Education and gender equality are critical components of societal progress and development. They reflect basic rights that require no economic justification. This notion is reflected in the inclusion of gender related developmental and propagative objectives in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Yet it is also a case that education and gender equality has broad and positive implications for economic as well as social development to any nation. A significant decline in child illiteracy and maternal mortality remains somewhat elusive and thus the Millennium Developmental Goals initiative that has been deemed to reduce child illiteracy and promote gender equality coupled with the establishment of women empowerment within all regions of the world is poised with inconsistent progress rates within some certain countries. To deliver such Millennium Development goals and MDG3 and its supporting targets which promotes specifically gender equality and empowers women, it will be critical to elevate...
