The document provides a post-budget analysis from a public finance perspective. It summarizes Ireland's fiscal correction over the past 5 years through 8 budgets and adjustment packages that totaled €27.5 billion in planned impacts. It notes that spending cuts have accounted for 65% of the adjustments to date. While the budgets from 2008-2012 have been progressively reducing incomes for higher earners the most, the 2013 PRSI change is regressive. The fiscal deficit remains above the 3% GDP target but revenues are improving and non-interest spending is down 15% from its 2008 peak. Further adjustments of €5 billion are planned for 2014-2015.

The document discusses the process of revising the Philippines' secondary education curriculum according to the Understanding by Design (UbD) model. The revision was needed to make the curriculum more relevant and improve student mastery. It followed a three stage process: 1) Define learning goals and standards; 2) Design assessments to measure student understanding; 3) Plan instructional activities to help students achieve the standards. The goal was to create a curriculum that is focused on essential understandings, sets high expectations, and develops students' readiness for further education and work.
