EDITORIAL College Free for AllAs the Democratic and Republi.docxSALU18
EDITORIAL College Free for All?
A
s the Democratic and Republican conventions loom on the horizon, higher education has not been a widely or deeply discussed issue. This is unfortunate. The economic security of the American people requires that each generation be educated to confront the social, environmental and technological challenges of our time and to appreciate the arts and literature, which nourish the personal and national soul.
This calls for greater access to a college or university education. U.S. leaders once hoped that by 2025, 60 percent of the population would be college-educated. So far it is closer to 30 percent. The curse of inequality continues to isolate the ruling elite from the common public. The average male high school dropout might earn $24,000 a year. One with a fouryear college degree might make $52,000, while an advanced degree could merit $67,000. On a salary of $62,000 a family might enjoy a comfortable lifestyle; but the average college graduate moves into public life overburdened by college debts.
A college education today is not a luxury; for many careers it is a personal necessity as well as a social good. Senator Bernie Sanders has proposed that the government should guarantee tuition for every student in a public university, which is 75 percent of the student population. This would be paid for by a tax on Wall Street. Hillary Clinton’s plan would spend $350 million in states that increase their funding, tighten rules on for-profit colleges, have students work for 10 hours a week and allow families to pay according to their income. Her plan would also offer some help to private colleges with high numbers of needy students. Jeb Bush offered the student a $50,000 line of credit to be repaid through federal income taxes over 25 years. Marco Rubio would “fundamentally overhaul higher ed” and supports night school and online degree programs.
A variety of theories explain the rising college costs at public institutions as a recent phenomenon. Critics blame luxurious dormitories and athletic centers and high-salaried administrators and professors. In many cases state legislators have lowered funding year by year, forcing public universities to raise tuition. High tuition can also be falsely perceived as a sign of quality, leading wealthier students to enroll and middle-class strivers to sacrifice and follow.
Proponents of free tuition, at least for the lower middle class, point to Germany, Finland, Norway and Sweden, all of which offer a free college education. It is “free” because fewer students attend college in these countries than in the United States and because citizens are willing to pay much higher income taxes. In the United States, with 50 different state educational systems, California’s public colleges were free until 50 years ago; and Tennessee, Oregon and the city of Chicago have recently provided or will soon provide free tuition for two-year colleges.
Whatever its limitations, the Sanders prog ...

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
7. The average high school dropout rate in California is 20 percent. In some neighborhoods in Oakland and Richmond and Los Angeles, the dropout rate is over 50 percent. In many districts, the average class size has gone from 30 to 40 or even 60 students. Classes this size make education nearly impossible
8. The Los Angeles Unified School District eliminated summer school for 150,000 students in 2009. After school programs, electives, athletics have all been cut from many schools. Counselors, medical staff, career centers have been cut
9. The new Federal program has California and other states scrambling for Federal funds linked to standardized test scores. These new laws make it easier to close down schools or sell them off to private charter schools. Currently, in Los Angeles, about 30 high schools are under threat of either being closed down or sold off to private companies.
11. Cuts to the Community Colleges In the past two years, more than $840 million has been cut from the Community College budgets. Classes are being cancelled and programs are being cut and eliminated. Support programs and educational grants are being slashed – including special support programs, tutors, library services and many others.
12. In all schools, there are huge cuts in summer classes; in some schools summer sessions are being eliminated. This year, an estimated 250,000 students were turned away due to a shortage of classes.
13. Other students aren’t getting enough units to qualify for financial aid and have to drop out. More students are losing their jobs and are ending up homeless.
14. Support staff is being laid off and furloughed, meaning fewer services and maintenance. Financial aid lines are longer. There are fewer academic and support counselors. Faculty, especially part-time teachers, are being laid off.
16. Since 2008, over one billion dollars has been cut from the CSUs. Tuition has increased 152 percent since 2000, from $1650 to $4,155. With the latest rounds of cuts, over 40,000 students will be turned away in the next two years. There was no Spring admission for 2010. Cuts to The CSUs
17. Across the CSUs, faculty have been forced to take nine unpaid days off per semester (so-called furlough days). Over 47,000 workers have been forced to take at least two days off per month without pay. The average student loan debt for CSU students is about $17,000.
18. Since 2001, fees have risen over 277 percent. UC Regents have approved a tuition increase of 32 percent in November, making tuition over $10,000 per year. Tuition has more than doubled since 2002. At least eight percent of the courses have been cut. Cuts at The UCs
19. Enrollment was reduced by 2,300 students for Fall 2009. UC faculty and staff will be required to take from 11 to 26 unpaid days off -- amounting to a salary reduction of four to ten percent. Over 80 percent of faculty are affected by this cut. The average student loan debt for UC graduates is over $25,000.
22. But wait there’s more… The politicians in Sacramento have promised budget deficits of $20 billion every year for the next five years. That’s right: more cuts on top of the old cuts.
24. But what can we do? California has no money? Should we just bury our heads in the sand and give up?
25. If it were true that California has no money, then maybe it would be time for despair. But it’s a lie!
26. California is the wealthiest state in the country. It is among the 10 largest economies in the whole world California produces over 12 percent of all of U.S. wealth. California Has Money!
27. California is home to 104 of the largest U.S. Corporations. Their total profits for the year 2007: $1,168,681,000,000 That’s over one trillion dollars.
29. And as California has been slashing education, it has been handing over even more money to corporations in tax cuts.
30.
31. That is more money in tax cuts every year than the amount of money cut from education and health care combined.
32. And that’s just the wealth in California… There’s even more wealth on the federal level…
33. The U.S. has 24 percent of the world's wealth produced in one year, or $14.29 trillion. The U.S. has 45 percent of the world’s 793 billionaires. The government has already paid $3.5 trillion to corporations to bail them out. Estimates of the total cost and debt go as high as $23 trillion. In 2008, total corporate profits in the U.S. were $1.36 trillion.
36. So far, the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost $950 billion in Congressional appropriations alone. Californians alone have paid 115 billion tax dollars for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. U.S. war spending alone accounts for 48 percent of all the money ($1.47 trillion) spent on war across the world each year.
37. How many days of War Spending would it take to pay for the entire California budget Deficit of $26 billion?
39. So, are the Budget Cuts inevitable? Absolutely Not! There is plenty of money in California and at the Federal level to fully fund education and make no cuts to social services.
40. If there is plenty of money, then why does there continue to be severe cuts, year after year? Why do the politicians in Sacramento, year after year, CHOOSE, to pass massive budget cuts while granting tax breaks?
41. They expect us to just put our heads down and accept these cuts quietly
43. Sacramento went too far this time. They’ve attacked all of us, all at once . They’ve created the possibility for all of us to stand together and say no!
44. Everyone we know is connected to education in some way. And we are all impacted by these cuts.
45. Together, we have the power to force Sacramento to stop these cuts, and fund education and the services we need.
46. At the community colleges we are connected to every level of education and all sections of society… We have parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts who are students or teachers or workers. We ourselves also work while we go to school…
47. There are over 3 million students in the California Community College system. We can be the hub of the wheel that builds a mass movement against these budget cuts.
48. How do we begin? Start here. You can download flyers, information packets, and this presentation.
49. Become an organizer wherever you are. Tell people about the budget cuts. In your classes, at work, on the bus, at home. EVERYONE AND EVERYWHERE
50. And most importantly… Come to the Mass Rally on MARCH 4 th at 5pm in San Francisco Civic Center
51.
52. This is a rally for everyone who is against the cuts to education. It will be the first rally with all levels of education coming together. From pre-school to Phd. This is a rally you can bring your grandparents to and your grandchildren, everyone all together.
53.
54.
55. Think of the rally as a beginning. It is our warning to Sacramento, that we are gathering our forces and we are ready to fight back and stand up for our education and our lives.
56. This struggle is not going to be easy. And there is no guarantee that we will win
58. We leave you with this… People are practical. They want change but feel powerless, alone, do not want to be the blade of grass that sticks up above the others and is cut down. They wait for a sign from someone else who will make the first move, or the second. And at certain times in history, there are intrepid people who take the risk that if they make that first move, others will follow quickly enough to prevent their being cut down. And if we understand this, we might make that first move. Would someone please read this aloud:
