This study also assesses the returns to tertiary and adult education and examines how these returns are shared between governments and students. The study builds indicators that examine incentives for individuals and governments to invest in education. These indicators take into account the various financial costs of skills investments for individuals such as foregone after-tax earnings and tuition fees, as well as whether investments are financed with savings or with student loans. Costs borne by governments such as grants, scholarships, lost taxes, and skills tax expenditures are also accounted for. The indicators also incorporate the returns to skills investments for individuals and governments through higher after-tax wages and higher tax revenues respectively.

In Costa Rica, technical education is recognised as a key contributor to both economic development and social cohesion. There is a consensus among stakeholders that more skilled technicians are required by industry while these jobs are attractive and may enhance social mobility and cohesion.
Helping people to develop and use skills effectively is crucial for people and countries to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world. Fully recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic will also require countries to reskill workers who have lost their jobs and to adopt new strategies for making effective use of people’s skills in and out of the workplace.
In helping to achieve this, the OECD assesses skills challenges and opportunities, and looks to help countries to build more effective skills systems through tailor-made policy responses, while using the OECD Skills Strategy framework as its foundation.

Were socio-economically advantaged students better equipped to deal with lear...EduSkills OECD
According to data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), most students in 2018 responded that they believe in their ability to get through a difficult situation and are motivated to learn as much as possible.
But socio-economically disadvantaged students exhibit less of these beliefs and dispositions.
This may have serious implications for the unequal distribution of learning losses during the pandemic, meaning that poorer students may have been left behind to an even greater degree than we thought.
Andreas Schleicher, OECD Director for Education and Skills, presents a new analysis of PISA 2018 data and discusses what it can tell us about how prepared students across the world were for the hardships of learning during the COVID-19 crisis.
In an uncertain and volatile international context characterised by competing priorities for public spending, pressure is mounting for policy makers to enhance the efficiency of public spending in all sectors, including education. There is no question that there is a strong economic and social case for continued public investments in education, so the dilemma is not on whether or not to invest in education, but rather on how to make the most of this investment and foster a “Value for money”.
Policy makers need to make smarter investment in education. They need to foster equal opportunities and quality outcomes, and the good news is that the pursuit of efficiency and equity in education can work together through smart investments in four areas. Policy makers also need to carefully design funding mechanisms, pay attention to budget planning, and build a culture of systematic evaluation in education to ensure alignment with education objectives, transparency, accountability and capacity building.
We discuss the many benefits that education brings to economies and societies, but also strategies that can help policy makers make smarter investment in education in order to reap its full benefits.

These profiles provide unique insights into the diversity of factors that affect decisions to participate in learning, including motivation, obstacles to learning, socio-demographic characteristics, and labour market characteristics. These profiles will assist Flanders’ reflections on how to target and tailor existing and new lifelong learning policies to the needs of learners.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Even though the quantity of education has significantly increased across
SEA countries, there are still major gaps in the quality of education.

learning losses in some SEA countries
Days of fully or partially closed schools, 2020-2021
Note: Reference period is 11 March, 2020 - 2 February, 2021. Schools are considered ‘fully closed’ when the closures affect most or all of the schoolchildren enrolled at pre-primary, primary, lower and upper secondary
levels. ‘Partial closures’ refer to situations in which schools are either closed in some of a country’s administrative units, for some grade levels, or are operating with limited capacity. ‘Fully open’ means that classes are held
in-person for all schoolchildren and at all grade levels.
