...Introduction. This report aims to analyse the two possible steps that Eton College could potentially take to expand their student population. The first plausible action would be to increase the number of foreign students in the UK and the second is to set up a new school in China. Throughout the paper, one will focus on the issues facing Eton College with regards to the globalisation of its education services and how it will impact the school. Context for globalisation of services. Many other schools and universities have already taken the approach to expand their campuses into foreign countries, many of which are in China. Should Eton just increase their student population in their current school, it will find it difficult to compete with other renowned schools competitively in the future. As observed by Dirk Willem teVelde in 2005, “The education sector itself is subject to globalisation (Sauvé, 2002).” Although for many years, education has been very much considered a public good, it is now debated that “GATs (General Agreement on Trade in Services) is becoming more flexible in governments being able to decide whether or not they wish to open up to education provision from foreign providers, whilst there are others who suggest that education is about more than just a (traded) commodity.” Therefore, as a result, many educational institutions are branching out away from their original locations and creating replicas or slightly adapted versions of themselves in other...

...------------------------------------------------- ASSIGNMENT 4 (5), OPTION 2 ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- What particular significance do media systems have for the construction of national identities? How far, if at all, is it possible to have a (sense of) national identity without the media? ------------------------------------------------- Introduction I will argue that national identity is a problematic concept, constructedthrough imagined indicators of unity, as well as through a process of othering. I will look at how national identity is more valuable for political and commercial purposes, than for the development of authentic or peaceful national and internationalcommunities.Furthermore, I will explore howdominant national power influences identity, with education as the foundational cornerstone, andmediaas the toolfor the normalisation and reinforcement of national identity. Debunking the homogeneity of national identity Das and Harindranath write that individuals’ ability to identify themselves through nationality signals a “shared acceptance of the nation-state as a reasonable and ‘natural’ way of organizing social and political life” (2006: p.7). However, the fallibility of the homogeneity that is presupposed to constitute a national identity becomes apparent when examining various related definitions. In the case of nation-states, Smith writes that they must have “a measure...

These topics are raised as we discuss globalization as an economic culture and a source of conflict due to the imperative change in methods of production and consumption. What is globalization? There are a lot and different proposed definition of globalization as "the set of processes of global and regional integration" currently underway at the global level . One of the most successful definitions of “globalization” is the one given by the English sociologist Anthony Giddens . according to which the term refers to "the intensification of worldwide social relations which are able to link really distant localities, making sure that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa". Giddens believes that globalization has the characteristics typical of modernity , including the idea of the nation state, the capitalist...

This paper further shows how e-Learning, has made immense contributions in bridging the gap in the quality of teacher education. Finally, proposals on the way forward are made. The Author Mr. Robert Masinde, [B.Ed (Arts) University of Nairobi, M.Phil in Educational Communication and Technology Moi University]. Currently pursuing D.Phil in English Education at Moi University and lecturer Department of Communication Studies with research interests in e-Learning and New Media. Moi University, P.O Box 3900 Eldoret Email: robjuma2001@yahoo.com Introduction In many less developed countries, the quality of education has been compromised by lack of trained teachers, insufficient learning materials, and poor infrastructure. The cost of teacher training is also prohibitive due to poverty. There are also limited chances in teacher training institutions whereas many high school graduates meet the minimum requirements for admission. Most teacher education institutions are understaffed thus compromising the quality of teaching and research. They also lack crucial learning and teaching...

...CSR and EDUCATION 1A Kalyani, Assistant Professor, NBN SSOCS, Pune Dist, koukuntla.kalyani@gmail.com 2Dr. K E Balachandrudu Professor & HOD-CSE, PRRMEC, SHABAD – R R Dist. Kebalu.chinni@gmail.com Abstract Universities, especially private ones are in need of strong corporate strategies in order to be successful in the highly competitive education industry. In this respect, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) becomes one of the highly preferred strategies by higher education institutions for gaining a good reputation and a competitive advantage. The major finding of the study is that in order for an institution to be successful in CSR strategy, CSR actions has to be internalized and must be supported by the management. In India companies like TATA and Birla are practicing the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for decades , long before CSR become a popular basis. In spite of having such good glorious examples; In India CSR is in a very much budding stage. A lack of understanding, inadequately trained personnel, coverage, policy etc. further adds to the reach and effectiveness of CSR programs. Large no. of companies are undertaking these activities superficially and promoting/ highlighting the activities in Media. Keywords: Corporate social responsibility, higher education, competitive advantage, Societal Marketing, reputation. Introduction In a societal structure, we have many stakeholders, one amongst them are companies or Corporate Houses. These Corporate...

...The Effects of Globalization and Neoliberalism on African Societies Globalization and neoliberalism are concepts that can be applied to the analysis of any aspect of modern day society. Social life in a particular area is filled with the constant spread of ideas, practices and beliefs due largely to globalization. This paper will provide an in depth view on the effects Globalization and neoliberalism has had on culture and development in African societies. Within Africa lies various intricate backgrounds from its colonialism roots to the shift towards globalization in the effort to promote development. Exposing the dynamics of globalization as well as its impact on African societies will lead to a better understanding of the relationship between Africa and the international community. Globalization, as defined by Held et al. , sees the issue “as a process (or set of processes) which embodies a transformation in the spatial organization of social relations and transactions--assessed in terms of their extensity, intensity, velocity and impact--generating transcontinental or interregional flows and networks of activity, interaction and the exercise of power.” (Held et al. 2004: 68), It involves the increased interaction between nations and the exchange of ideas, practices, relations and organization. (Ritzer 2008:574). One must be aware that the theory of globalization can be expressed through economic terms as well as sociologically. The...

...GLOBALISATION AND HIGHER EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS RUI YANG Abstract – This article sets out to analyse critically the nature of globalisation and how it is affecting higher education. The author first reviews the nature of globalisation, and then examines its international impact on higher education development. He contends that globalisation is predominantly economic, and points out that global exchanges in the economic, cultural and educational domains continue to be unequal. At the same time, education is increasingly treated as a business. By exposing the negative side of globalisation and its effects on universities, the author aims to counter the uncritical acceptance of globalisation as a positive force for higher education and society as a whole. Zusammenfassung – Ziel dieses Artikels ist eine kritische Analyse der Natur der Globalisierung und ihrer Auswirkungen auf die höhere Bildung. Der Autor beginnt mit einem Rückblick auf die Eigenheiten der Globalisierung und untersucht dann ihren internationalen Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der höheren Bildung. Er behauptet, dass Globalisierung vorherrschend wirtschaftlicher Art sei und weist darauf hin, dass ein globaler Austausch in wirtschaftlicher, kultureller und erzieherischer Hinsicht ungleich bleibt. Gleichzeitig wird Bildung immer mehr als eine Art Geschäft behandelt. Indem der Autor die negative Seite der Globalisierung herausstellt sowie ihre Auswirkung auf die Universitäten, will er der unkritischen...

...different from the New Zealand context in the way that minority languages are viewed ‘ongoing bilingualism in a so-called minority, indigenous or community language is still regarded by many as an educational, and wider social impediment” (May, Hill, Tiakiwai, 2004, p.8). Cummins asks some important questions in regards to bilingual education in both homes and schools including, ‘To what extent is it child abuse to send new teachers into classrooms (in multilingual cities such as Toronto, London, or New York) with minimal or no preparation on how to teach academic content to students who are in the process of learning English and whose cultural background differs significantly from that assumed by all of the structures of schooling (e.g. curriculum, assessment, and teacher preparation)?’ (Cummins, 2000, p.14) New Zealand is a rich, diverse multicultural society and nowhere is this more apparent than at a Decile One secondary school in South Auckland. In order to avoid a ‘vacuum created by the absence of any proactive validation of their linguistic talents and accomplishments (resulting in) bilingual students’ identities become infested with shame’ (Cummins, 2000, p.13) it is essential that teachers are educated about what ‘being bilingual’ is...

...“In many parts of the world today religious education is facing dramatic challenges.” (catholicireland.net, 2012). We live in a world where society is greatly affected by the ways and customs of different religions and cultures. The questioning of the relationship between religion and education in Ireland has been a sizeable debate recently. The increase in immigration etc. has resulted in new and diverse religions and cultures being introduced into Irish society. Naturally this means that change is imminent. When people first heard that I would be studying to become a religious education teacher their reactions were mostly what I had expected. The look on their face said it all for most people. I could tell they were thinking that religious education was not a real subject. That is was merely a subject where you could catch up on homework or sit back, relax and watch a movie. Of course my natural instinct was to defend the subject as I knew why I wanted to and was going to study to become a religious educator. However as I found myself trying to explain, it was challenging to try and find the words to define what the subject is and what it entails. It was difficult to do this without sounding like a “holy joe” as the expression goes. It made me realise that I needed to sit down and think in detail the meaning of religious education and also what I think the future of religious education in Ireland looks like? Will religious education still be a subject in Ireland in years to...
