Japan's educational system is clever that indeed made them placed fourth in the international science and math study in 2007,and many other achievements wherein they are competing globally.
Amidst these achievements in the said major subjects, Japan also gives emphasis and importance to what they really own; their language as part of their curriculum.
Above all of these, agencies both in public and private sectors made a big part in which they provided the needs and necessities in education.
By this, its quite obvious that Japan will continue reigning in the international education studies and also continue aiming the reality of their vision; to produce a globally-competitive individuals.
Historical records not only from the travels of Johann Ludwig Krapf and Johannes Rebmann reveal that Kenyans had access to education as far back as 1728 with a Swahili manuscript Utendi wa Tambuka (Book of Heraclius) attesting to the fact. The CMS missionaries interacted with locals in the coastal town of Mombasa and set up one of the earliest mission schools in the country at Rabai in 1846.
With the expansion of the railway from Mombasa to Uganda, the missionaries expanded their work into Kenya's interior. An attempt to set up a school and mission at Yatta in 1894 was resisted by the Kamba tribe. The missionaries then penetrated into western Kenya and set up schools and missions. The first school in western Kenya was established at Kaimosi in 1902. During the colonial era, the number of Kenyans with exposure to education steadily increased and a good number of them were privileged to proceed abroad for further education.
Educational planning
Educational planning, is the application of rational, systematic analysis to the process of educational development with the aim of making education more effective and efficient in responding to the needs and goals of its students and society.
In Singapore, the system includes six years of primary school, followed by four to six years of secondary school, and one to three years of postsecondary school. The curriculum for primary schools is common for all students in years one to four.

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”.

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.
3. Finland is a Northern European nation bordering Sweden,
Norway and Russia. Its capital, Helsinki, occupies a peninsula
and surrounding islands in the Baltic Sea. Helsinki is home to the
18th-century sea fortress Suomenlinna, the fashionable Design
District and diverse museums. The Northern Lights can be seen
from the country's Arctic Lapland province, a vast wilderness with
national parks and ski resorts.
7. The Ministry of Education and
Culture drafts legislation and
government resolutions concerning
general education, and coordinates
activities in its administrative branch.
8.
9. Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI) is a national
development agency. It is responsible for developing
education and training, early childhood education and care
and lifelong learning, as well as for promoting
internationalisation. EDUFI is subordinate to the Ministry of
Education and Culture and its tasks and organisation are set
in the legislation.
10. Education policy
Providing equal
opportunities for all
citizens to high-quality
education and training is
a long-term objective of
the Finnish education
policy. The key words in
Finnish education policy
are quality, efficiency,
equity and
internationalisation. The
basic right to education
and culture is recorded in
the Constitution.
11. The policy is built
on the principles
of lifelong
learning and free
education.
Education is seen
as a key to
competitiveness
and wellbeing of
the society.
12. There is a wide-spread
consensus of the main
pillars of education
policy and the policy is
characterized by
cooperation and
continuity - evolution
rather than revolution.
Tripartite partnership
among Government,
trade unions and
employer organisations
is an integrated part of
policy-making.

15. Early childhood education and
care
ECEC is primarily organised in day-care
centres and in family day-care. Other forms
of ECEC services include clubs run by the
local parishes and other non-governmental
organisations and the various forms of open
early childhood education activities organised
by the municipalities for children and their
families
16. Basic education encompasses nine
years and caters for all those
between 7 and 16 years. Schools do
not select their students. Every
student is allocated a place in a
nearby school, but they can also
choose another school with some
restrictions.
17. Upper secondary education and
training
Upper secondary education and training
has a dual structure
After compulsory basic education school-
leavers opt for general or vocational
upper secondary education. Both forms
usually take three years and give
eligibility for higher education.
18. Upper secondary education and
training
The selection of students for upper
secondary school is based on their grade
point average for the theoretical
subjects in the basic education
certificate. Entrance and aptitude tests
may also be used, and students may be
awarded points for hobbies and other
relevant activities.
19. Upper secondary education and training
Vocational qualifications can be completed in
upper secondary VET, apprenticeship training
or as competence-based qualifications. The
majority of young learners complete their
upper secondary vocational qualifications at
vocational institutions. Competence-based
qualifications are usually completed by
adults.
20. Adult Education
Adult education comprises education
and training leading to a degree or
certificate, liberal adult education and
staff-development and other training
provided or purchased by employers. In
addition, it includes labour market
training, which is mainly targeted at
unemployed people.
21.
22. Higher Education
Higher education in Finland has a dual
structure. Higher education is provided
by universities and universities of
applied sciences (UAS). Both sectors
have their own profiles. Universities
emphasise scientific research and
instruction, whereas universities of
applied sciences adopt a more practical
approach. Higher education institutions
are very autonomous in organising their
instruction and academic year.
23. Higher Education
Equal access to higher education is
ensured by the wide institutional
network, the free education, student
financial aid as well as the flexible
pathways to higher education
24. Teacher Education
Teachers in Finland are highly trained. In
general education all teachers are
required a Master’s degree. In vocational
education teachers should have a
Master’s degree or Bachelor’s degree.
25. Teacher Education
Teachers at universities of applied
sciences are required to have either a
Master’s or a post-graduate Licentiate’s
degree, depending on their position.
They must also complete pedagogical
studies. University teachers are
generally required to hold a Doctoral or
other postgraduate degree
26. Teacher Education
Teacher training can be either
concurrent, with pedagogical training
integrated into the Master’s programme,
or consecutive, with the pedagogical
training completed after the initial
degree. The latter is the case for
example in vocational teacher
education
29. Finland’s Education System Model
2. College is free
3. Elevated teaching profession
4. Finland has no private schools
5. Kids have very little homework
6.Preschool is high-quality and universal.
