Over the last century, technology has created more jobs than it has displaced. This column presents an overview of ways in which technology and innovation are changing the nature of work, leading to demand advanced cognitive skills and greater adaptability among workers. The rise of platform marketplaces is also changing the way people work and the terms on which they work, which requires a rethinking of social protection systems.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
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.

Preparing for the changing nature of work in nigeria
1. Preparing for the Changing Nature of Work in Nigeria
The nature of work, induced by technological progress is changing rapidly across the world.
Technology is changing the skills being rewarded in the labor market as well as disrupting
production processes by challenging the traditional boundaries of firms, expanding global value
chains and changing the geography of jobs.
These changes show up not only through new jobs replacing old jobs, but also through the
changing skill profile of existing jobs. In order to adapt and remain competitive, governments
will need to adequately prepare their workforce for the shifts underway in the new global
environment.
With a population of approximately 200 million people, Nigeria has the largest population in
Africa and the seventh largest in the world.1
Children under 15 years of age make up approximately 41 percent of the population, hence the
burden on health and education has become overwhelming.
The Challenge
Even though primary education is officially free and compulsory, about 10.5 million of
the Country’s children aged 5-14 years are not in school. Only 61 percent of 6-11 year olds
regularly attend primary school and 35.6 percent of children aged 36-59 months receive early
childhood education. 2
The health system is markedly weak and this is particularly evident in the country’s poor
maternal and child health indices. Nigeria has a very high maternal mortality ratio (800 per
100,000 live births), 61 percent antenatal care coverage and extremely high under-5 mortality
rate of 100.2 per 1000 live births.
2. Social protection in Nigeria is also relatively weak, with less than 5 percent of the
population covered by health insurance. This is due to its relatively large informal sector (over
70 percent).
It is evident that the country is presently ill-prepared for the changing nature of work. Despite the
existing challenges, there is a window of opportunity to positively transform the future of its
workforce so that well-being is bolstered and inequalities are reduced. To achieve this, all
stakeholders, especially policy makers need to be aware of the shifts underway, formulate a
vision of the desired outcome and plan, so that the opportunities due to the changing nature of
work are utilized and the problems that emerge are addressed.
The Solution
In order for the Nigerian government to effectively prepare for the changing nature of work, it
will need to:
ď‚· Invest heavily in human capital by formulating policies that enhance the availability and
quality of delivery of services in the education and health sector.
ď‚· Implement effective social protection systems comprising of social assistance to a large
share of the population, complemented with social insurance that does not fully depend
on formal wage employment.
ď‚· Address informality by formulating policies and regulations that facilitate the transition
from the informal to the formal sector. Proposed measures here include reducing business
registration cost and leveraging on technology to facilitate taxation.
