Dimensions of Inclusive Development: Growth, Gender, Poverty and the EnvironmentUNDP Policy Centre
This new issue of the Poverty in Focus magazine presents 12 articles that discuss the main policy issues for a new inclusive and sustainable development paradigm. As a contribution to the dialogue around Rio+20 and to the ongoing discussions around a post-2015 MDG Agenda, this Poverty in Focus links future development to sustainability and particularly to social sustainability. Looking beyond the critical issues of ‘carbon footprints’, ‘low-carbon development’,’ green economy’ and the economics behind saving the planet, it draws attention back to the continuing challenge of ensuring that growth and development
deliver for the poor and vulnerable. In its many forms—energy poverty, lack of access to water and sanitation, malnutrition or insecure access to food, and lack of access to education and health—the scale and scope of global deprivation call current development policy and practice into question.
Coal is the key to India's goal of Power for All, but there are a plethora issues related to its pricing and availability. In this presentation, AskHow tries to help you understand some of those issues.

Nation building is a marathon. For a country as large and diverse as India, it is a relay of marathons. We have come a long way in 75 years. We have a long way to go. While many metrics are required to understand India, if you want to hold no more than 5 in your head, then track these indicators of India's progress.
Understanding India through it's population numbersYogesh Upadhyaya
India is complex. One way to reduce the complexity is to use population numbers. We have done that. We have looked at growth, fertility, religion, migration, gender imbalance and extent of urban -ness to understand the country.
Edit: On slide 9, the population of UP should be 231. 43 Million. Not Crores.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
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.

By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.
2. Quality Education The Analysis
Quantity? Quality?
Indians who go to reasonable quality private schools in cities may not comprehend how bad
education can be in many government and small private schools, especially in rural India. "
While the frustration in good private schools maybe with not creating an inquisitive mind, a bad
government or small private school may not even teach a student to read and write her name!"
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
We would like to point out that as 2 out of 3 kids in India go to government
schools it is vital that we improve the education outcomes of these schools.
3. Quality Education The Analysis
Why Bother?
Education is important because it’s impact is…
ECONOMIC"
India’s large population is an advantage
only if per person productivity increases
rapidly. This can only go up when people
shift to skill and knowledge intensive
jobs from labour intensive jobs.
!
And in the future
‘Knowledge Economy’, the
inadequately educated will be
at a serious risk of
marginalisation.
SOCIAL"
Education brings awareness of basic
rights and duties, and empowers
people with logical reasoning to
break myths, superstitions and
caste / class boundaries.

9. Quality Education The Analysis
Why are we here?
Our Education Policy is not
driven by outcomes.
The government targets inputs such as how
many students regularly go to school,
whether mid-day meals are provided, whether
there are toilets for girls - but not outcomes.
Inputs are important BUT one can easily
have situations where all prescribed inputs
are met but the outcomes are still abysmal.
10. Quality Education The Analysis
Inputs? Outcomes?
Strong Bowlers,!
Skilful Batsmen
But the Team rarely wins!
the matches it plays!
The scenario is like a Cricket Team being provided with the best inputs:
Acceptable?
Very Highly!
Paid Coaches
Best Training!
Facilities
11. Quality Education The Analysis
Input Obsession
A recent study tracked learning outcomes against Pupil Teacher Ratios.
!
It found that the best outcomes were when the
PTR was around 20.
!
!
!
!
!
!
However, even at this optimal level only 27%
of students were achieving desired outcomes.
!
Clearly, just focusing on inputs
is not enough.
a=b and b=c
so, a=c

Input Obsession
These were components when the larger goal was better student enrolment,
and they succeeded. According to the 9th ASER, over 96% children have
been enrolled in schools in the 6-14 age group."
Now the goal needs to shift from Enrolment to Quality Education.
13. Quality Education The Analysis
Outcome Goal
Earlier, Basic Literacy could have been the goal for India, "
but as the world is becoming more knowledge based "
we need to have an aspirational goal: High Quality Education."
!
Admittedly, being aspirational in the face of the largely depressing reality is difficult.
14. Quality Education The Analysis
What Outcome?
So when Quality Education is the goal, "
it needs to be measured and monitored.
NCERT in government sector and
ASER in the non governmental sector
carry out such assessments. "
And both NCERT and ASER are not
used to drive policy, except
episodically.
15. Quality Education The Analysis
Measure & Monitor
The Recommendation 1
Educationists spiritedly debate the relative merits and de-merits of
NCERT, ASER, PISA and others. The nuances are admirable but
running an educational policy on slightly sub-optimal outcome
measures is better than running the policy only on inputs. Hence …
✓ Government should agree on a honest and
independent evaluation methodology (periodically
updated) to monitor student education levels. !
✓ Success of education endeavours and policy plans
and refinements should then be based, solely on
these monitored levels.
16. Quality Education The Analysis
Measure & Monitor
Government should take this up in mission mode, so that within 1 year …"
- A block / district officer should know if the learning level
of students in the block is improving or not."
- An MLA /MP should know if the learning level of
students in the constituency is improving over years."
!
!
- The Education Secretary, Education Minister and the Chief
Minister of a State to know if the learning level of students
in their state is improving or not."
- The Education Minister, the Prime Minister and the
Parliament to know if the learning levels of students in the
country is improving over the years.
17. Quality Education The Analysis
Teachers or Officials, no one is held accountable for outcomes …"
At best, they are accountable for inputs like a) optimum
Pupil Teacher Ratio b) minimum number of working days"
No one is accountable if the learning levels in the school /
district/ state are low and not improving
Who is Accountable
The Recommendation 2
✓ Hold teachers and officials responsible for improvement
in outcomes (responsibility can only be for improvements and not
absolute levels, as absolute levels depend on many parameters).!
✓ Incentivise them for outcome improvements and punish
them for not achieving target outcomes
18. Quality Education The Analysis
Contrary to popular belief, teachers are paid well. A study revealed that in rural UP
government teachers were paid 12-20 times the salary of private school teachers "
But yes, teachers are hampered by many impediments: "
1) Non teaching workload: Administrative duties, Mid day
meal supervision, ensuring enrolment "
2) Sub standard and often irrelevant training "
3) Little say in how school money is spent
Teachers teach
The Recommendation 3
✓ Remove / reduce incentives for non teaching work. !
✓ Given that teachers and education officers are held
accountable for improvement in outcomes, they should
have the choice of training programs to help them
achieve these goals
19. Quality Education The Analysis
Communities across the country aspire for high quality education for their
children, but are unable to assist or monitor teachers because …"
1) Low skill levels"
2) Social distance between community and teachers"
3) Aspirations not well defined, due to limited exposure"
The right people from local communities need to
have a say in incentives and penalties, as well as tools
to achieve target outcomes.
Involve Community
The Recommendation 4
✓ Launch a program in mission mode for training
community members in their rights and encourage them
to effectively assist in achieving target outcomes.
