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.
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.

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.

Dear Parents/Carers
This note provides the latest information on the approach being taken by Education,
Leisure and Housing Directorate in managing the ongoing Covid-19 situation. The advice
contained in this note will be reviewed daily and updated as appropriate.
As of Monday 16th
March, there has been a step change in the approach to delaying the
spread of COVID-19 across the UK. Individuals who develop either of the specific
symptoms of a continuous cough and/or high temperature, however mild, are asked to
stay at home and not leave the house for 7 days. If the symptoms worsen or do not
improve after 7 days, they should contact NHS 24 or their GP.
In such circumstances other members of the household should stay at home for 14 days.
If they then develop symptoms, they should stay at home for 7 days from the day the
symptoms began.
NHS inform has full information about COVID-19, as well as advice on what action
individuals should take.
Everyone can help delay the spread of the infection by:
Avoiding direct hand contact with your eyes, nose and mouth.
Maintaining good hand hygiene.
Avoiding direct contact with people that have a respiratory illness and avoiding
using their personal items such as their mobile phone.
Covering your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing with disposable
tissues and disposing of them in the nearest waste bin after use.
Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or alcohol hand sanitiser before
eating and drinking, and after coughing, sneezing and going to the toilet.
The baseline position across Education Leisure and Housing Service is that:
Early learning & childcare setting and Schools will run in line with UK and Scottish
Government Guidance.
There is no change to the published SQA National Qualifications examination
timetable.
The following significant, temporary changes to provision should be noted:
All overseas school trips are cancelled, until the end of June in the first instance, in
line with Scottish Government guidance.
2. All parents’ evenings are cancelled.
We will continue to reinforce the core message of hand hygiene and,
consequently, the use of hand-shake greetings will be discontinued until further
notice.
All sporting/musical/cultural events scheduled for schools between now and Easter
are cancelled.
All after school clubs are cancelled.
All swimming classes are cancelled.
Next Steps
During the course of this week, schools and services will:
Risk assess all off-island school trips within the UK on a case by case basis.
Establish a plan to compress classes/services in the event of staff shortage.
Establish teaching plans/guidance for pupils and their families in the event of
school closure.
Ensure that all pupils have functioning access to Glow in case we are required to
provide educational provision through this medium.
Ensure that there is up-to-date awareness of any barriers to pupils, collectively or
individually, accessing Glow from home.
Ensure that materials for the completion of senior phase courses are readily
available for dissemination to pupils at short notice.
Seek guidance from NHS Orkney in respect of communal primary school
toothbrushing activity.
Review SQA exam guidance on a daily basis.
I appreciate that this is an exceptionally worrying time, we are monitoring the situation
continuously in line with Government guidance and local intelligence.
Please direct any questions or concerns you have directly to your school who are in daily
contact with the Education, Leisure and Housing Directorate.
Yours faithfully
James Wylie
Executive Director
