The MICS is an international household survey programme developed by UNICEF. This survey provides up-to-date information on the situation of children, women and men, and measures key indicators that allow countries to monitor progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other internationally agreed upon commitments.
The 2012 MICS was carried out in the Republic of Moldova (excluding Transnistrian region) as part of the fourth global round of MICS surveys and implemented by the National Centre of Public Health of the Ministry of Health in collaboration with the National Bureau of Statistics, the Scientific Research Institute of Mother and Child Health Care, the Ministry of Labour, Social Protection and Family, the Ministry of Education, the National Centre for Health Management, and the National Centre for Reproductive Health and Medical Genetics. Financial and technical support was provided by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), with contribution of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and the World Health Organization.
The survey provides a solid base of comparable data and constitutes a valuable support in developing policies and strategies in the areas of health, education and well-being of families and children in the Republic of Moldova.

Proposed financing solution to children dropout in primary education in bangl...Pongkaj Moy Tripura
I would like to convey message on children dropout and community engagement, one of the major problem of Primary education in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has improved its remarkable success in every aspects of primary education like access, performance, even in dropout rate also improved comparing last five years. The target audience of this resource is for general people especially- Education line department and NGOs because dropout rate is 20.9% that means huge number of students do not complete the primary cycle. This rate is not a good sign for our next generation.this problem needs to be reduced as soon as possible.
Building a Culture of Early Literacy into Parenting Practices for Indigenous ...Md. Shahriar Shafiq
Parents’ sensitive response is crucial to secure parent-children attachment and related overall consequences. When children are at risk for poor language and cognitive development, home must be the best place for stimulation and learning for children. Although there is a growing recognition that children need support for physical growth and psycho-social, emotional and cognitive development in Bangladesh, we have parenting education in limited areas and those programme components are not updated in culture specific ways. Appraisingly, ICDP project of CHTDB in collaboration with UNICEF has modified to strengthening its current parenting education component for indigenous population at the hills, the modification process would be key lesson learnt for parenting education programme for indigenous populations at the plain. Modification of parenting education comprised of three steps. First, review included a desk review of parenting education programme of ICDP including others and empirical investigation of ICDP parenting education component. Second, based on the review, we updated mainly three subcomponents: i) Para Worker’s Guidebook -1 for ECD part, ii) Courtyard Meeting Manual for ECD part, iii) and IEC materials, especially Flip-Chart on parenting education. Finally, courtyard meeting manual was modified by including local folk tales and myth relevant to parenting education. Third, all the updated materials were validated in different relevant stakeholders, namely parents, Para workers, ICDP staffs, and policy personnel. Thus, a policy note for parenting education of indigenous population at the plain would be to adopt a culture specific comprehensive package of parenting education.

Curriculum Inception
The proposed curriculum will be a comprehensive program focusing on the teaching and
learning of technology in Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) elementary schools. The core
instructional goals of the proposed curriculum aimed at empowering learners with primary
computer and internet skills such as; basic use of computer applications including google apps,
keynote, garage band. In this grade, students will be introduced to know how to use the google
apps and the Chromebook. They will develop multimedia presentations like publishing media
content and developing digital media and art. Through this, the student will be able to acquire the
ability to constructible skills that will help him/her derive meaning by critically questioning
resources using digital tools. In this grade, students are expected to major in learning how to use
book creators to explain their understanding in their own words.
The main learning activities students will undertake include: Storing, sharing, accessing,
and manipulating files in google drive; organizing and reflecting on content in google sites as
well as campus press blogs, implementation of apps like book creator to explain their
understanding Learn the various purposes of different media. Impart innovation skills on learners
through the use of various technologies in a design process for problem-solving by creating new,
useful and /or innovative solutions. At the same time, Students will be expected to learn how to
apply technology and non-technology tools to aid in understanding a design process of which
there will be an integration with STEAM subjects. Still, this will make space activities where
students will apply the design process to identify or solve problems by combining digital tools
with non-tech tools to develop strategies for designing systems. Impart collaboration skills on
students through digital tools to widen their views, increase empathy, and the importance of
teamwork skills in applications.
Approach to curriculum development
The proposal's design is based on the system's approach to curriculum development. The
systems approach can be seen as a methodical scheme applied to plan, propose, advance,
evaluate curriculums that consist of the following components: Analysis of needs, analysis of the
task, declaration of projected learning objectives, assessment plan, a pilot study proposal,
development of learning resources and implementation of the final curriculum. The first five
components of the systems approach have already been included in the proposed curriculum
design. Furthermore, one of the main features of the Systems approach's core instructional goals
is its high interconnectedness among content areas and programs. Similarly, in the core
instructional goals of the proposed curriculum, ther ...

Using a randomized field experiment in South Kivu, we study the impact of a simple “textbooks for self-study” incentive scheme targeting primary school students on student achievement. Students in the treatment schools scored 0.26σ higher in French but did no better in math. They were more likely to take the high-stakes end-of-6th-grade national exam and those who passed the test obtained higher scores. The largest positive impact was found in schools with lower teaching-efficacy and for lower-ability students. Our results demonstrate that incentives-only programs designed to intensify and diversify students’ use of existing school resources can sharply improve student achievement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
1. In developing countries like Haiti, access to sanitation
and hygiene lessons are minimal. This is caused by the
lack of quality and participation in the education system.
In Haiti, 78% of students drop out by the end of primary
school and only 60% of adults are literate1. Even when
students are in school, they often do not have access to
sanitation and hygiene lessons. Lack of knowledge on
these subjects can lead to many illnesses and often
death in developing countries. According the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “About 88% of
diarrhea-associated deaths are attributable to unsafe
inadequate sanitation, and insufficient hygiene,”2 and
90% diarrhea-associated deaths are for children under
the age of five3. Greater access to sanitation and hygiene
information will be able to decrease diseases within
Haitian schools and will expand proper sanitation
practices to the surrounding community.
Background Information
Mission Statement
The mission of the WASH Education project is to create
culturally appropriate Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
(WASH) Education lesson plans and materials that will be
implemented in Summits Education schools in Haiti to
improve WASH practices.

Partnerships
We have partnered with Summits Education which is an
organization that operates forty schools with the mission
to improve the quality of education in Haiti, specifically
in the Central Plateau. With their guidance and resources
the WASH Education team has recognized the needs of
the project and started lesson development. Another
valuable asset to the project is the work that the CEDC
interns in Cange are completing. One intern is visiting
the Summits Education schools and conducting
evaluations to understand their current WASH practices
and needs. Another intern works with Summits Education
faculty to establish the requirements for the lessons.

Figure 1. Graphic Outlining Need for WASH Education
This semester, the WASH Education team researched
different styles of teaching that are effective with our
target age range, such as game-based, inquiry-based,
kinesthetic, direct instruction, cooperative, and positive
reinforcement. Additionally, the team’s research includes
evaluation and surveys of Summits Education schools by
CEDC interns to determine the need for WASH education
and what the schools are already doing well. A literature
review was compiled and finalized, highlighting the
semester’s research. The team is developing lessons on
topics such as brushing teeth, washing hands, toilets
and open defecation, general personal hygiene, illnesses
from poor hygiene, and clean water. The research will
serve to determine the need for WASH education in these
and similar areas, and coupling that with the research on
styles of education will help the group to ultimately
develop lesson plans to train Haitian primary school
teachers to teach them.
Research
In the coming semester, the group will finish the lesson
plans currently being worked on, as well as, the addition
of a few others. Part of finishing these lesson plans, in
addition to developing background information and
lesson methodology, includes activities such as games
and songs, in Creole, which are currently being
established by the team. The group plans to finish all
lesson plans by the end of the Spring 2019 semester. At
which point, they will be sending an intern to Haiti to
implement these lesson plans. The intern will teach these
lesson plans to the teachers of Cange and surrounding
areas with the help of Summits Education. After
implementation, the CEDC intern will visit schools to
track the progress of the lessons and receive feedback
from teachers and students. The lessons will be adapted
accordingly to ensure sustainability.
Future
Lesson requirements: includes lesson
objectives and all of the necessary
information needed to obtain the objectives.
Material list: determines an initial budget
estimate and allows for preparation.
Activity description: establishes and
describes the proposed activities in detail.
Plan for visuals: posters or other illustrations
to help portray the lesson objectives.
Plan for training: defines the best way to train
teachers to teach the lessons.
