...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the Problem Education has been very important through the ages and it can be defined as an organized and sustained instruction designed to communicate a combination of knowledge, skill and understanding valuables for all activities of life. Numerous groups during this century have identified what they believe the goals of education should be. One of the most widely cited reports is that of the commission on the reorganization of secondary education which in 1918 stated the goals of education as the seven cardinal principles: health, command of fundamental processes, worthy home membership, vocation, citizenship, worthy use of leisure and ethical conduct. Although neither science nor any of the other school subjects was included as one of the seven principles, the role and importance of science in achieving the seven cardinal principles is obvious. The world is fast becoming scientific in thinking and behaviors that without good knowledge of science, it might be difficult for people to adequately function in it. The purpose of exposing children to science instruction right from primary school level is not necessarily to turn them into scientist per se but to provide favorable scientific attitudes of ‘finding out’ and ‘hands-on‘ and to enable them raise questions about things that intrigue them. In a study on the impact of science on the society, Bertrand & Russell (1952) have shown that our time is an age of science. Science...

...Chapter 1 [pic] Introduction 1.1 Background Of The Report As being one of the biggest hospitals in Bangladesh, Apollo Hospitals Dhaka is at the forefront of medical technology and expertise and provides a complete range of the latest diagnostic, medical and surgical facilities for the care of its patients. The hospital is having all the characteristics of a world-class hospital with wide range of services and specialists, equipment, & technology, ambience and service quality. But the quality of a hospital service is not defined by the appearance of its facility. Rather the service quality depends more on the sincerity of the hospital and its human resources to serve the patients. In Bangladesh, the health care sector is not yet developed. A large number of people go abroad for treatment due to low quality of medical facilities in Bangladesh. And the main target market of Apollo Hospitals Dhaka is the people who want to get world class treatment inside the country with affordable cost. To ensure the proper customer satisfaction, the hospital management has to employ the right people in right place. Prior to this a detailed job Analysis is almost essential. With Job Descriptions and a sophisticated Job Evaluation system, management will be able to recruit and determine pay levels better, determine the types of training the hospital staff should go on and have a basis to appraise them. Job Descriptions furnished by business units are current and accurate...

...ork2012 - 2013 Catalog A Message from the President “Sullivan University is truly a unique and student success focused institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience...
