The U.Plan Prepaid Tuition Program offers benefits unlike any other savings vehicle. By saving money in the U.Plan, you’ll be locking in today’s rates for college tuition and mandatory fees at every Massachusetts college and university in the U.Plan network. That means the rise in college tuition won’t affect you, and your savings will be used to pay for college at 2016 rates. And if your child doesn’t attend a U.Plan school, you’ll receive your full savings back, with interest calculated at CPI and no penalty, right when your child heads off to college. It’s a powerful and fail-proof savings opportunity.

Post-Aquinas Options Eve - Support for StudentsAquinas College
Presentation delivered at the Post-Aquinas Options Evening describing the support we give to students when they are considering their options for further study.
Have you heard of the U.Plan? It’s one of the programs in Massachusetts created to help you save for college, but it’s different than most other college savings plans. The U.Plan is a prepaid tuition program, which means by placing money into the U.Plan, you’re paying for college costs up front. The benefit of doing this? You’re locking in today’s college prices (tuition and mandatory fees). So when your son or daughter attends school, you’ll have part of your bill covered and will pay yesterday’s prices with those savings.

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 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.

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.
