...Essay on Early School Leavers This essay will examine the issue of Early School Leaving. The legal definition of early school leaving in the Republic of Ireland is “non participation in school before a young person reaches the age of sixteen or before completing three years post primary education, or whichever is later”. Another useful definition is “leaving the education system without a minimum of five passes in the Leaving Certificate or equivalent qualification”. In Ireland up to nine thousand young people leave school early every year before taking the Leaving Certificate. The Leaving Certificate is the final state exam in the Irish secondary school education system. The essay will examine the factors that influence a young person’s decision to leave education early and the possible societal impacts that their decision will have for them in the future. Educational standards shape an individual’s role in society. Without a good standard of education, opportunities in society can be limited. Education can open many doors and without a good standard of education many doors will remain closed. Aristotle wrote “Education is the creation of a sound mind in a sound body. It develops man’s faculty, especially his mind, so that he may be able to enjoy the contemplation of supreme truth, goodness and beauty of which perfect happiness essentially consists”. Education is one of the most important aspects of society. It gives us knowledge of the world around us. It develops in us...

...children issue is a threat that has a negative economic effect on every country throughout the world, especially in the development of nations. Africa and Asia combined account for over 90 percent of total child Labor (ILO, n.d). Child labor remarkably develops from country sides and rural areas where there is high capacity that leads to ignorance and poverty. Talking about Africa, Egypt in specific, the estimated number of working children in Egypt is almost 1.6 million (Feteha, 2011). The following essay will tackle down the causes, the effects, the previous solutions and their limitations of this problem as well as a suggested solution will be provided to rectify this widespread problem. According to Ragab(n.d) , in order to exempt their families’ members from education, food and clothing cost, young girls are usually sent as domestic maids to homes of the county’s elites ;moreover, they maybe also daughters of doormen, servants, or porters, usually oriented from country sides. Girls at that part are bound by their employers’ commands as they send the girl’s family income, leaving her dependent which is a cause to child labor. One of the effects of this issue that can occur due to labor at early age is that children are exposed to harsh working conditions; for instance, using dangerous substances or equipment. Furthermore, young labors get one hour off only as a break and considered lucky to get water breaks or sometime away from the burning sun. This leads to dehydration,...

...reactions of different characters that stand for various layers of the Egyptian society towards the 1952 revolution, talked about the adventure between cultures and historically based that was happening in Alexandria at the time. Naguib made his characters all come from different political backgrounds and they all believed in different things because of their area and culturally environment. Egypt was having a lot of politically governments and high standards ideals in the 1900’s throughout the 1960’s. Egypt has gone through ups and downs because of this, which made it grow from generation to generation. But this has caused major problem in the society and the way the Egyptians live, it made it corrupt and cause conflict between other people. Now most Egyptians thrive to become like these political governors to have some sort of power in their country because without that they mean nothing and people will think less of them which is very stereotypical. In this essay I will focus on two major characters from the book and talk about their background and how they are being treated in the country and by the people from a history stand point and a political one as well and how Egypt was and the way it treats different types of people. The Egyptian Revolution of 1919 was a countrywide non-violent revolution against the British occupation of Egypt. It was carried out by Egyptians but then British-ordered exile of revolutionary leader Saad...

...Policy booklet published in March 1967 "Education for Self-Reliance" Julius Nyerere Since long before independence the people of this country, under the leadership of TANU, have been demanding more education for their children. But we have never really stopped to consider why we want education—what its purpose is. Therefore, although over time there have been various criticisms about the details of curricula provided in schools, we have not until now questioned the basic system of education which we took over at the time of, independence. We have never done that because we have never thought about education except in terms of obtaining teachers, engineers, administrators, etc. Individually and collectively we have in practice thought of education as a training for the skills required to earn high salaries in the modern sector of our economy. It is now time that we looked again at the justification for a poor society like ours spending almost 20 per cent of its Government revenues on providing education for its children and young people, and began to consider what that education should be doing. For in our circumstances it is impossible to devote Shs. 147,330,000/- every year to education for some of our children (while others go without) unless its result has a proportionate relevance, to the society we are trying to create. The educational systems in different kinds of societies in the world have been, and are, very different in organization and in content. They are different...

...Complex Systems in Education CSE ESSAYS COURSE Complex Course on Writing English and American Essays for Advanced Students English Language Programs Division Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Writing 2 United States Information Agency, Washington, D. C. 1999 2 3 How to Use this Complex Course Частные уроки Английского Языка 387-1231 MIND Speaks to MIND – Selected American Essays 4 Preface Some years ago, a visitor to our office, a professor of English at a large foreign university, asked if the English Language Programs Division had published a book of American essays for foreign students – especially students at the advanced level. Having to respond in the negative, I was, nonetheless, “intrigued” by the idea of a collection of essays that would form a source of stimulating ideas or thoughts that could be thoroughly examined in the EFL classroom, discussed and debated in free conversation, and perhaps, ultimately, lead to a significant growth in the exchange of information between cultures – via the printed page. From this rationale, then, there issues an explanation for the title, Mind Speaks to Mind, which itself is an “exchange of information” between the editor and Edward Hoagland in his essay, “On Essays”! And, readers are encouraged to study this essay first as a type of guideline concerning the nature/purpose of the essay. It is found on page 26. For ease of reference, the essays are presented in alphabetical order according...

...in that the general educational level of the labor force that lies between ages of 15 and 59 years is very low. In 2010, India had a working population of 431 million people out of which 29% were illiterate. Also, about 24% possessed an education below primary or only primary education and only about 17% had a secondary and higher education. Ramachandran and Chatterjee (2013, p. 32) stated that while India is the second most populated country in the world, with a current population of about 1.21 billion with an average population growth rate of 1.41%, this is a clear indication that this population will increase more with time. When looking at the age structure, people who are 15-64 years old make up 65% of India's population and only 30% being under 15 years of age. This clearly indicates that India is composed of a rather young population. As per the 2011 census, literacy levels stand at around 74.04% and this is a significant progress from the 14.5% rate at the time of India’s independence in 1947, though the census still reveals that the adult literacy rate in India was more than 11% lower than the average World Adult Literacy Rate of 84% (Census of India, 2011c, p.101). Despite major reforms and programs intended to develop the education system, India is still struggling with low rates of illiteracy, especially in the country’s rural parts. Different states have been experiencing different rates of increase in literacy levels, although with very high disparities caused by...

There were 945 girls per 1000 boys in 1991, 927 in 2001 and only 914 in 2011. India’s increasing number of rich class seems to have increased the practice of sex selection in the new technology promoted by private health sector. The new technology has aggravated the social problem of bias against girl child and continues to have caused the drastic reduction in the proportion of female children. This article focuses on appeal to government and civil society for immediate action to eliminate sex selection. The article accounts a lesson sharing experience for effective public policy responses to crisis similarly faced in the country. Introduction When a boy is born in India, friends and relatives exclaim congratulations. A son means insurance. He will inherit his father's...

...BODY SIZE AND BODY FORM I. Analyzing Faces and Heads: Physiognomy and Phrenology To evaluate the outward appearance of the body and to read the mental and moral capacities of the person. Leaders of all 4 of these movements were highly educated. A. Physiognomy and facial observation –from greek, physio = nature, nomen = judge, judgement of human nature. Believed you could judge one’s mental and moral character by looking at one’s face. A ton of phrases today still show the judgement of character based solely on face (high brow, snooty, shifty eyed). 1. Giovanni Battista della Porta, Italy, De Humana Physiognomia (1586) –wrote first book on physiognomy. Porta was in Naples, Italy, a scientist and mathematician. Based his ideas on animal characteristics. In his book, he compared certain human faces to certain animal characteristics, and then associated the characteristics of the animal to the human. 2. Johann Lavater (1741-1801), Germany, Von der Physiognomik (1772) –Popularizes physiognomy, from Zurich, Switzerland, and then moved to Germany. Trained as a pastor. Makes physiognomy a science, through the publication of his work, “essays on physiognomy”. In the book, he laid out 100 physiognomy rules, where a look is associated with a trait. 3. General theory –The belief that mental and moral traits (character) can be determined and judged by one’s outward facial structure (their appearance and expressions). One trained in physiognomy could diagnose character by analyzing...

...PRINCIPLES OF WRITING: 1. Clarity- It is the clarity of thought and expression. (a) Clarity of thought: This is important when the idea is being generated in the mind of the sender. At this stage, three points should be checked upon. (i) One is supposed to be clear about the objective of the communication. This begins with the generation of an idea in the mind of the transmitter. The writer should be able to answer the : What is the objective of writing (ii)What is to be communicated? E.g. A song, play, poem etc. (iii) Which medium is appropriate for the purpose of communication? E.g. letters ( b) Clarity of expression The following points deserve attention. (i) Use of simple words- simple words is more effective than heavy words. (ii) Use concrete expression- these provide visual images which are easy to register so instead of vague generalized statements give definite facts. (iii) Prefer active construction- these are easy to understand other than passive i.e in passive form “ your report will be discussed by the committee’’ but in active form ‘’the committee will discuss your report’’ (iv) Avoid excessive use of infinitive (v) Avoid jargon- these are special languages of a trade or a profession (vi) Avoid ambiguity- this is where a word has more than one meaning (vii) Use short sentences- short sentences are easier to comprehend for they are not complex and do not demand greater concentration...
