ASEAN COUNTRIES AND POLICIES ON LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION.COMPLETE.pptxMarkDarrylBautista
- ASEAN was established in 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand with five original member countries. It has since expanded to include 10 member nations.
- English became the official working language of ASEAN with the signing of the ASEAN Charter in 2009. This was likely due to its relatively neutral status, to drive modernization efforts, and to facilitate participation in globalization.
- The document goes on to discuss the language policies and practices of education in each ASEAN member country, noting that while local languages are often official languages, English is commonly used as the sole or primary language of instruction in education systems.
New Zealand has a well-established education system from early childhood through university. The primary and secondary school system educates students from ages 5 to 17 or 18. Students then have the option to attend universities or polytechnics for vocational and academic tertiary education. The eight universities focus on research and offer degrees while the 21 polytechnics provide applied learning pathways like diplomas and certificates. International students are supported through services like homestays, academic assistance and career counseling. Studying in New Zealand provides a high quality education in a safe country with opportunities for practical work experience.
Captain James Cook discovered Australia in 1770 while exploring lands south of the equator on behalf of the King of England. Australia has no official language but most speak Australian English. It has a population of 23.6 million people and a constitutional monarchy form of government with a federal division of powers. The education system consists of primary school, secondary school, and tertiary education with a national curriculum and assessment program to monitor student progress.
This document provides an overview of Australia's education system, including:
- Education is compulsory between ages 6-15 and mostly free, with primary school lasting 6-7 years and secondary school 5-6 years.
- Curriculum and policies are set at the state level, with emphasis on standards, vocational training, and general socialization.
- Tertiary education includes TAFE colleges and universities, and adult education is increasing in nonformal settings.
- Reforms have focused on improving literacy and numeracy, attracting qualified teachers, and making education more internationally competitive.
Issues and challenges of inclusive educationtanzil irfan
The document discusses barriers to inclusive education for students with disabilities in Australia. It notes there is a lack of uniformity in how students are identified across the country. The Queensland government recognizes six main disability categories but students face many barriers to inclusion including a lack of teacher training, resources and support. Three interventions are proposed: modifying curriculum and teacher training to enhance knowledge of special needs, ensuring teachers are trained in inclusive practices, and having special educators involved in teacher education to help general teachers support students with disabilities.
Finnish education is based on principles of equity, free education, and support for all students. Education is free from pre-primary to higher education levels. All students have a right to educational support through guidance, counseling, and individualized instruction. Efforts are made to support language minorities and migrants. Education emphasizes lifelong learning and flexible options for adult education. The system is based on trust and local autonomy over schools, with an emphasis on self-evaluation over inspections.

Malaysia is located in Southeast Asia and consists of two parts - peninsular Malaysia and east Malaysia. The official language is Bahasa Malaysia and the dominant religion is Islam. During British rule, there were vernacular schools that used different languages but did not foster national unity. After World War 2, committees were formed to develop a national education system using a common syllabus and examinations to unite the multiethnic population through the use of Malay and English as compulsory subjects. This led to the Education Act of 1961 that established the foundation of Malaysia's current education system.

Globalization is impacting education in several ways. Technology is seen as equalizing educational opportunities worldwide by allowing access to information, but ensuring rural and impoverished students have resources remains a challenge. As the world becomes more interconnected through globalization, students must be prepared through their education to compete internationally and understand different cultures and languages. Educators face the task of incorporating new technologies, treating all students fairly, and adapting curricula to ensure student comprehension and participation in an increasingly globalized world.

Powell, A., & Barbour, M. K. (2012, March). Tracing international differences in online learning development: An examination of government policies in New Zealand. A paper presented at the annual conference of the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education, Austin, TX.
In 2006 the North American Council for Online Learning surveyed the activity and policy relating to primary and secondary e-learning, which they defined as online learning, in a selection of countries. They found most were embracing e-learning delivery of education as a central strategy for enabling reform, modernising schools, and increasing access to high-quality education. While North American countries appeared to be using the internet as a medium to provide distance education at the secondary level longer than most countries, the lack of a guiding vision has created uneven opportunities for students depending on which state or province they live in. In New Zealand, the government has sought to provide a vision or guiding framework for the development of e-learning. In this article we trace that vision by describing three policy documents released by the New Zealand government over the past decade, and how that vision for e-learning has allowed increased development of primary and secondary online learning.

This document discusses the impact of English on educational policies and practices in Malaysia. It provides background on Malaysia's multiethnic population and history with English and Bahasa Malay. It then examines Malaysia's shifting language policies over time, from prioritizing English under British rule to establishing Bahasa Malay as the national language post-independence. More recently, policies have emphasized teaching STEM subjects in English to prepare students for global careers. However, many students and teachers struggle with English proficiency. The document analyzes factors contributing to these issues and calls for a greater focus on communicative English in classrooms.
Charter schools or progressive education lessons from finlandChristopher Poor
- Finland has consistently outperformed New Zealand in education since introducing reforms aimed at increasing equality of achievement and excellence. These reforms resemble New Zealand's own progressive education movement of the 1930s-40s.
- However, recent New Zealand policies like school rankings and funding cuts are undermining the education system and increasing inequality. The government has also introduced controversial charter schools despite opposition.
- Research shows charter schools increase segregation and inequality rather than helping disadvantaged students as claimed. They have failed to improve outcomes in countries like the US, Sweden, and Chile.
- In contrast, Finland achieves very high and equal results through well-funded schools, high-quality teacher training, curriculum autonomy, and support for struggling students
Charter schools or progressive education lessons from finlandChristopher Poor
New Zealand’s current government has embarked on a course of supporting private providers of
education in the form of “partnership” schools with the claim that these charter schools can
address the recalcitrant problem of disparity of achievement between students from different
ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. This paper examines evidence from the research on
charter schools and argues that attention should rather be paid to the Finnish example of high and
equal educational achievement and to the landmark achievements of New Zealand’s own
pioneers of progressive education as we prepare a new generation for the twenty-first century.
The document discusses the rationale for implementing a K to 12 curriculum for basic education in the Philippines. It notes that international test scores have consistently ranked Philippine students low in math and science. With a congested 10-year pre-university program, graduates lack preparation for employment, entrepreneurship or higher education. The K to 12 curriculum aims to enhance quality, implement a decongested curriculum, and better prepare students for their futures through a 6-4-2 system with additional skills development.

The science curriculum in Ireland is outlined in the Primary School Curriculum document from 1999. It is part of the broader Social, Environmental and Scientific Education (SESE) curriculum that also includes geography and history. The science curriculum aims to develop children's basic scientific skills from junior infants through sixth class by exploring topics like living things, energy and forces, materials, and environmental awareness. It is taught as one of the seven key areas of learning from ages 4 to 12 in Ireland's primary education system.
This document discusses Indigenous school attendance in Australia. It finds that while most Indigenous students attend school regularly, absenteeism is higher compared to non-Indigenous students, with a gap of around 10%. The gap is larger for older secondary students and those in remote areas. Reasons for absenteeism are complex and relate to both social and economic challenges as well as school-level factors. Improving attendance requires a holistic approach that addresses both the supply of education services and demand within Indigenous communities through culturally-responsive and learner-centered policies and programs.
The UK education system is divided into four main parts: primary education from ages 5-11, secondary education from ages 11-16, further education which is optional after 16, and higher education. The curriculum is organized into key stages with mandatory subjects like English, maths, and science at each level. Teachers must complete initial teacher training with further opportunities for leadership roles like headteacher available after gaining experience. Examinations play an important role in the UK system with tests like the 11-Plus and GCSEs.

China has undertaken several education reforms since the 1980s including decentralizing finance and administration in 1985, allowing local production of textbooks in 1988, and introducing national education technology standards in 2004. It has seen significant improvements in PISA scores. The US can learn from high-performing countries like China, Finland, and Singapore by revamping teacher education, providing school autonomy, emphasizing student-centered learning over rote memorization, and adopting some of their best practices to close domestic achievement gaps.
Can data from largescale assessments ever be useful For mathematics education?Christian Bokhove
- International large-scale assessments (ILSAs) like PISA and TIMSS have significant influence on education policy but their data needs careful interpretation.
- Indonesia participates in some ILSAs and its results show room for improvement compared to other countries but also progress being made and positive aspects of its education system.
- Analyzing ILSA data comes with challenges as the context of different education systems and constructs being measured need to be fully understood. Caution is needed in drawing conclusions from the data.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

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.

SECTION 3
4. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Back in 1901, when the continent of Australia got
inhabited by British colonies, six states were formed
at Federation from these.
These states ended up surrendering part of their
powers.
By the end of the 20th century, the educational
system was primarily led by the federal government.
Each state, however, developed their own separated
educational policy.
5. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
By 1999, Australia’s population faced a decrease which
tried to be solved through immigration, which resulted
in a larger number of younger inhabitants in need of an
education.
The first forms of education in Australia (starting in
1810) were mainly religious, based on sermons and
biblical readings, in response of the moral needs of the
society.
Reverend Richard Johnson:
the first schoolmaster, provided
by the Anglican church
6. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
As the country prospered, residential schools were
born.
These started as private schools, ran by clergymen,
who only admitted those in a good financial
situation, expecting its students to be able to run a
business or work abroad in the future.
In the 1830s it was suggested an alternative
education system based on the Irish model, but it
kept getting shadowed by the catholic schools.
7. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
By 1850, elementary education started functioning more succesfully, even if
most schools still faced financial problems, opposite to the catholic system.
Finally, between 1880 and 1900, a system of compulsory, secular and free
education was implemented.
This led to a significant strengthening of overall education departments, and
eventually education and health coalesced into forming an effective welfare
system, leading to a stronger economy.
This economic boom presented noticeable benefits towards institutions such
as universities or private grammar schools, as well as allowing the rise of a
wealthier urban professional class.
9. STRUCTURE
School education
Tertiary education
• Primary school (from Kindergarten/Preparatory to year 6 or 7)
• Secondary school (from year 7 or 8 to 10)
• Senior secondary school (years 11 and 12)
• Higher education (including universities)
• Vocational education and training (VET)
10. STRUCTURE
Language of instruction: English
Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF):
• Established in 1995.
• Covers qualifications from the tertiary education, in addition to the Senior
Secondary Certificate of Education.
• 10 flexible levels which allow to comfortably explore career paths.
• Help prepare for both future studies and working life.
11. STRUCTURE
The personal testimony of Emily Pischke, an Australian student (which started secondary
school in 2015, currently in year 12), offers a deeper insight into how her high school arranges
its study levels and courses.
From years 7 to 10, every subject offers a division of four levels which adjust to each student’s
academic needs, meaning that the first level encompasses those students who handle the
subject with ease, and level four being designed to help those who may face more difficulties.
“There is options to drop down classes too, which I did for maths as the course in 1st math class
was too difficult for me, which in the long run was a good choice for me to make.”
By years 9 and 10 students are given the possibility to choose elective subjects in order to
personalise their learning, with some compulsory subjects such as science or history still on their
timetables.
12. STRUCTURE
The four-level system is dropped by years 11 and 12, just remaining elective
subjects and advanced and standard classes.
Everything taught during these two years is aimed towards the HSC (Higher
school certificate).
“Just this year there has been a website created for senior students called Edrolo, which has
every course summarised in comprehensive videos, multi-choice activities and other practice for
the HSC. I used Edrolo and it’s extremely helpful for revision, its videos are really easy to follow.”
“The HSC years are stressful as you progressively get closer to the actual exams, which is one
reason why there’s a couple of practice exams in order to prepare students and test their
knowledge for the conditions of the HSC.”
14. CURRENT GOALS
Policy initiatives
• Equity
• Higher education and training
• Quality schools and quality teachings
• Robust and transparent assessment measures
• Indigenous education
• The New Colombo Plan
• Resourcing schools
15. CURRENT GOALS
EQUITY:
• TIMMSS results showed that Indigenous Australian students have a lower performance
than their urban counterparts.
• This has been addressed since 2009 through initiatives in early education.
HIGHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING:
• 84% of 25-34 year olds have attained an upper secondary education (2% above the OECD
average).
• In 2008 it was commissioned a review of higher education, aiming to increase higher
education enrolments by 2020.
16. CURRENT GOALS
QUALITY SCHOOLS AND QUALITY TEACHINGS:
• In 2010 the establishment of AITSL (Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership)
was designed in order to provide guidance towards this area.
• A standarized framework for teachers was established between 2009-2013, aiming towards
a better teacher quality.
ROBUST AND TRANSPARENT ASSESMENT MEASURES:
• All Australian schools take part in the NAPLAN (National Assessment Program, Literacy and
Numeracy) in years 3, 5, 7 and 7 as to evaluate its students’ progression.
• The My Skills and QUILT websites help provide helpful information about teaching centers
and other education-related surveys.
17. CURRENT GOALS
INDIGENOUS EDUCATION:
• In 2008 the COAG (Council of Australian Governments) established a series of targets to
reduce inequities, three of which focus on education:
“To ensure access to early childhood education for all Indigenous four-year-olds in
remote communities within five years.”
“To halve the gap in reading, writing and numeracy achievements for children within a
decade.”
“To halve the gap in Indigenous Year 12 achievement by 2020.”
• The most recent Close The Gap report (February 2020) reveals a significant and
heartening improvement in these targets, especially in contrast to the results from the
same survey in 2017.
18. CURRENT GOALS
THE NEW COLOMBO PLAN:
• This project is aimed towards undergraduate students, and its intent is to raise knowledge
of the Indo-Pacific region, as well as strengthen institutional relationships through study
and internships.
RESOURCING SCHOOLS:
• By the end of 2011 the Gonski Review was released, which gave an insight into funding in
Australian education.
• The results showed lack of coherence and an unnecessary complexity.
• In 2017 the Australian Education Amendment Act was updated in order to fix these issues
and provide a more balanced and just funding method.
20. CURRENT PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
Main issues
• Decline in student performance
• Neglection of science
• Monolingual education
• Non-qualified teachers
• Low early learning participation
21. CURRENT PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
STUDENT PERFORMANCE:
• Australian students around 15 years old have shown a noticeable decline in
their academic results since 2000 (especially in areas such as maths or
literature), while the same statistics in other countries have risen.
• An assesment ran by IEA (International
Association for the Evaluation of Educational
Achievement) showed that Australia’s
academic performance had been surpassed by
England and the USA, which had previously
been classified as inferior in this field.
22. CURRENT PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
NEGLECTION OF SCIENCE:
• A large percentage (around 75%) of the fastest growing occupations rely on science, yet
the Australian education system neglects focusing on areas such as technology,
mathematics or engineering.
• Maths, for instance, is not a compulsory subject at
senior secondary studies, except in the South and
a fraction of the North.
• Fewer tan one in ten students applied for
advanced maths in 2013, also bringing up the
noticeable gender gap, with just a 6.6% of girls
studying this area.
23. CURRENT PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
MONOLINGUAL EDUCATION:
• In 2013, only an 8% of students were learning a foreign language for
their HSC (the lowest percentage ever recorded).
• In 2016 the percentage increased slightly but not significantly, with
still only a 10% of year 12 students applying for a foreign language.
• This might be due to the fact that, since a large number of Asian
population already engaged with the English language (due to both
immigration and trade business), the thought of learning a second
language is dismissed.
24. CURRENT PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
NON-QUALIFIED TEACHERS:
• A study made in 2014 indicated that Australia’s teacher
education policies fall short in comparison to high-achieving
countries, such as Finland or Canada.
• For reference, teacher education
degrees turned out to have the
highest percentage of students with a
low ATAR score (Australian Tertiary
Admission Rank).
25. CURRENT PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
LOW EARLY LEARNING PARTICIPATION:
• In comparison to most countries belonging to the OECD (with an average
70% of early learning participation), only an 18% from Australia took part in
it, as stated in a survey from 2014.
• In 2017 this number rose significantly, but not as much as to save the gap
that separated Australia from other comparable countries from the OECD.
• The sector of the population that misses most this early learning are three
year olds. This results in an obvious disadvange for them, since a study
affirms that one in five children are developmentally vulnerable when
starting school.
27. FUTURE GOALS
Attracting high achievers (students with higher ATAR scores) to
study education-related careers in order to improve the teaching
quality.
Enhance the teaching of science-based subjects.
Spending funding on early education, which in the long term will
be beneficial to the whole academic development of students.
28. FUTURE GOALS
Promote international colaboration in order to expand students’
culture and knowledge of the world.
Individualise students’ learning, aiming to optimise their performance
by allowing them to progress at the pace that suits them best, in
addition to fulfilling their personal capabilities and needs.
Enhance creativity and personal values as to help students become
enterprising and resilient members of society.
29. FUTURE GOALS
Promote the responsible use of technology as a useful tool for learning,
and help students to adapt with ease to future technologies yet to
emerge.
Prepare students for being able to learn in both formal and informal
teaching spaces, and being resourceful within different environments.
Educate the youth about their country’s governnent, history, religion and
overall culture, building an open-minded space.
