This document summarizes the findings of a study on elder abuse in India conducted by HelpAge India in 20 cities. Some key findings include: 81% of elderly people surveyed thought elder abuse was prevalent in society. Disrespect, neglect, and verbal abuse were seen as the most common types of abuse. 36% of those over 80 reported experiencing abuse, with 18% of abused being women. Children and other family members were most often the perpetrators. Only around half were aware of existing support mechanisms. Recommendations included increasing education, strengthening social security, and improving legal protections and support for abused elders.

Factor Analysis of Attitudes to Corruption in India Bangladesh: Methods of workshops and use of World Values Survey
In this research, funded by ESRC DFID Poverty Alleviation grant on Gender Norms: Comparative research on India & Bangladesh, I look at attitudes about bribes and corrupt practices. I used the World Values Survey question wording. Here the respondent has to answer whether they think it is never, sometimes, or always justifiable to take a bribe. The questionnaire is available on my facebook Group site, Integrated Mixed Methods Network. The slides show a link to my twitter account. @Sandhyamma You can also look at my writing on attitudes to gender roles (online links). The issue is really about methods. Should workshops spread the discussion about attitudes among lay audiences? or is factor analysis a method only for specialists, for statisticians, for the ivory tower? I think the former. I hope you like the slide show!

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.
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.
