My 15 minute presentation for a panel talk at GETS 2010, "Building a World-Class Education System". The actual panel discussion that followed is not included. I discuss Finland's PISA success and the reasons behind it, as well as some future focus areas.
How to develop the top ranked education system? Building Blocks for Education: Whole System Reform September 13–14, 2010 • Toronto, Canada
Timo Lankinen
Director-General
Finnish National Board of Education
What the World can Learn from Finnish Lessons
In the course of about 3 decades ( 1980-2010) , the national education system of Finland progressed from one which was “ nothing special” to one that produces students whose academic achievement is so consistently outstanding that Finland’s system is often referred to as the best in the world. This book describes how Finland achieve that transformation.
In this books , Pasi Sahlberg details the policy decisions that guided that transformation. He documents the choice of polices that chose not to embrace “ tougher competition, more data, abolishing teacher unions, opening more charter schools, or employing corporate world management models in education systems”. To the contrary, Finnish policies focused on “ improving the teaching force, limited student testing to a necessary minimum , placing responsibility and trust before accountability and handing over school and district-level leadership to education professionals. The result is an educational system that “ lacks school inspection, standardized curriculum, high-stakes student assessments, test based accountability and a race-to-the-top mentality with regard to educational change?
Sahlberg characterizes the policies of the current system as
Having a vision of education committed to building a publicly financed & locally governed basic schools for every child
Building on educational ideas from other nations to produce unique “ Finnish way” that preserves the best traditions and present good practices
Systematically developing respectful and interesting working conditions for teachers and leaders in Finnish schools.
The Finnish experience in building an education system in which all students learn well is one that has focused on equity and cooperation rather than choice and competition and that rejects the paying of teachers based on students test scores or converting public schools to private schools.

The growth of digital devices, digital reading, and online purchasing is opening up new opportunities for publishers around the world, and this is particularly true in the classroom environment. Shane Armstrong, Executive Vice President of Scholastic Corporation and President of International Growth Markets, will present an overview of Scholastic’s big plans for global educational publishing, especially in the core areas of math and reading. He’ll talk about new opportunities with assessment, how ancillary products support Scholastic’s goals, and how trade pubs can take advantage of an increasingly global (and increasingly digital) education market.

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.
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.
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”.
