Kajang Municipality intends to redevelop a stadium into an Innovative Research Park but lacks funding. Privatization is proposed as a viable solution. Under privatization, private companies would take over operations through various models like outsourcing, design-build-operate, or public-private partnerships. The government remains responsible for oversight and integration with public transport. Private operators benefit from reduced political interference and increased efficiency, while generating jobs and investment. However, privatization may prioritize profits over public services, increase inequality, and result in job losses.

Public Private Partnership: Specific Characteristics in Different Sectors SilvaSuvahRaisa
This slide provides information about public private partnership (PPP) and specific characteristics of PPP in different sectors. Public Private Partnership is the relationship between government and private sector entities in the context of infrastructure and other development services. At present, it is a popular method to provide quality service to citizens. As government have not enough money to provide better service and develop infrastructure, partnership with private entities help government in these regards. As private sections are financially strong, they can help government to develop infrastructure and provide service according to citizen demands.
PPP possessed several features in different sectors such as transport, power supply, education, health and so on. Each sectors has unique features. This slides contains all required information.
Transport Sectors:
Public-private partnerships (“PPPs”) can be an effective way to build and implement new infrastructure or to renovate, operate, maintain or manage existing transport infrastructure facilities. In both areas PPPs can be a mutually beneficial way to solve critical transportation problems.
Transportation infrastructure (airports, ports, rail, roads, urban transport) is indispensable to sustainable socio-economic development and trade. They link peoples and regions and connect firms to markets. Efficient transportation infrastructure is a major contributor to enhanced productivity.
PPPs provide a useful avenue for governments to access additional capital as well as technical expertise in the private sector to meet the very substantial demand from their populations for new and expanded transportation infrastructure in the coming decades.
Fiber optic:
The project company lays the fiber optic cables to link key demand centre and sells access to various telecommunication operators and internet service provider. Where new build residential development contemplated, PPP project can provide the full range video, audio, and telecommunication service from fixed line telephone service to broadband video streaming.
Issues—
Property
Access
Power Generation sectors:
The public sector alone cannot respond to the enormous investment needed to meet the growing demand for electricity. Bringing in the private sector through the use of public-private partnerships (PPPs) allows governments to share the burden of financing and management. The government must set clear limits in market power of distribution utilities while allowing competition in the generation segment with the establishment of a market for energy.
Issues:
Regulations
Planning and strategy
Health Sectors:
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in health sector services can be described as a long-term contract (typically 15-30 years) between a public-sector authority and one or more private sector companies.
In Bangladesh, private sector health financing includes household expenditures, private nursing home investments and drug fund.

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.

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.

The park is intended to take advantage of a number of universities and research centres in
Kajang area to turn the municipality into centre for innovative, high value added
industries. However the administration is in no position to fund the proposed project.
You are required to propose a viable solution to ensure the success of the project. Explain
the responsibility of all parties involved in the project, project component, the benefit of
your proposal and the problem that might occur in the future.
1.0 Concept of Privatization Programme
In this project, privatization is suitable to be used as a viable solution in order to
achieve the success of the project. The term “privatization” refers to the process
of private, usually for-profit businesses taking over the provision of public,
government provided services. This includes contracting with or selling to private
parties the functions or firms previously controlled or owned by governments.
Privatization covers a wide spectrum of government operations, management, and
ownership arrangements.
This approach is to facilitate the country’s economic growth, reduce the
financial and administration burden of the Government, reduce the Government's
presence in the economy, lower the level and scope of public spending and allow
market forces to govern economic activities and improve efficiency and
productivity in line with the National Development Policy. In respect of
ownership of wealth, the privatisation policy forms an integral part of the
Government's strategy in realizing active participation by Bumiputera in corporate
sector to correct the imbalances in the corporate sector participation. The
privatised entity should allocate 30% of its equity to Bumiputera. Foreign
participation in a privatized entity is limited to a maximum of 25 % of its share
capital.
Some types of privatization which may be considered in this project are:
a. “Outsourcing” means that a government agency delegates some of its in-house
operations or processes to a third party. It is a contracting transaction where the
government agency purchases services from a private firm while keeping
ownership and ultimate responsibility for the underlying processes. They inform
3. the private firm of what they want and how they want the work performed. The
private firm can be authorized to operate as well as redesign basic processes in
order to ensure even greater cost and efficiency benefits.
b. “Design, Build, Operate (DBO)” means negotiating a contract with a private
firm for design and construction services with comprehensive operating
agreements for new, expanded, or upgraded facilities. The project components are
procured from the private sector in a single contract with financing secured by the
public sector. From design through operation, these contracts can extend for
periods of up to 20 years or more.
c. “Public-Private Partnership” refers to a cooperative arrangement between a
local government and a private organization in which both parties assume some
responsibility for operating a program or service. Each party brings something to
the arrangement that contributes to the operation of that particular service.
d. “Asset Sale” means the sale of government-owned assets to private companies,
such as the sale of water/wastewater and electric utility assets. Proponents of
privatization often point to success stories which demonstrate cost savings, while
opponents express concerns about accountability and undermining organized
labor, which results in jobs without health, pension, and other benefits.
2.0 Responsibilities Of Government And Private Company In Privatization
i. Responsibilities Of MPKJ
MPKJ should always be planned as part of an integrated public transport system,
not as a separate money-making venture. MPKJ should make sure that the tram
lines should go where the demand is (present or planned), not where there is a
disused railway line or other surplus land. Monitor of the tram service in the city
should be maintained. If a tram interchange is necessary it should be at-grade and
involve as short a walk as possible. Frequencies of all services should be good
enough that exact time keeping and connections are not necessary.
MPKJ have to monitor the cost structure and ticketing should be totally integrated
with the rest of the public transport system. All improvements to tram facilities
4. should be designed with potential conversion in mind. The release areas at the
edge of Kajang may be suitable as it can be planned for from the beginning. This
would be dependent on the population density being high enough to support a line,
and that tram would take people to at least a major centre without having to
change.
ii. Responsibilities Of Innovative Research Park Project
The innovative research park project in the city should be maintained. There are
many possible improvements. Promoters are the entrepreneurs who take the full
risk of the concert. They can be local (meaning they work only in one city or area),
regional (several states), national or international. If they lose, they can lose big,
but as acts get more successful they squeeze them and limit the promoter's upside.
The result is a friendly game of "hide the pickle" that promoters routinely play in
rendering statements of how much has been earned.
3.0 Benefits of Privatization in Redevelop Stadium into Innovative Research Park
i. The removal of political interference
In the private sector, decisions are made on the grounds of efficiency and profit.
Politicians may make decisions to further their own political ends and not those of
the industry in question.
ii. General increase in efficiency
State monopolies tend to create inefficiency, are poor innovators and restrict
consumer choice. The existence of consumer sovereignty in the private sector has
the potential for widening consumer choice, increasing quality and, through
increased competition, lower prices. Basically, the nation's resources will be used
more efficiently. Allocative efficiency and productive efficiency will be striven
for, and more likely to be achieved.
iii. Widening share ownership
5. Is this an argument for privatisation or an end in itself? It is certainly a nice idea
that more members of the general public own shares and, therefore, has a direct
say in the running of the private sector. But do any of these part-time shareholders
bother to go to vote on important issues, and how many of them sold their shares
as soon as they had made their overnight profit? Almost all of the
denationalisations involved under-valued share prices to encourage their sale.
With hindsight, this encouragement was not really required as there were
normally at least five times as many willing customers as there were shares.
Obviously the shares rocketed in value as soon as they were issued, giving these
new shareholders an instant profit of anything between 20% (British Gas) and 85%
(British Telecom). Some cynics argued that wider share ownership was a
Thatcher end in itself as these lucky new shareholders were likely to vote
Conservative for the foreseeable future.
4.0 Possible Problems In Future
i. The abuse of the 'public interest'
Those who have opposed privatisation argue that the public utilities were
nationalised in the first place in the public interest. The utilities are products and
services that are essential to all members of the general public. A private company
in charge of one of these industries, interested only in profit, is likely to close
down or marginalize unprofitable elements of its operations. As nationalised
companies, unprofitable but essential services continue through cross-
subsidisation; unprofitable services being subsidised by the profitable services.
ii. The problem of externalities
Unexpectedly, all of the utilities create negative externalities (via pollution,
spoiling the environment, etc.) It can be argued that as public sector companies,
the government can regulate output and make sure that it is at the socially optimal
level (i.e. allow for externalities). In the private sector, maximisation of profit is
the only concern, so a socially damaging level of externalities will occur. It
should be noted, though, that the government could still achieve a socially optimal
6. output level by subsidising/taxing the privatised utilities until the desired outcome
is achieved (see the topic called 'market failure' if you are muddled).
iii. The redistribution of wealth
One can argue that the increasing inequality of the eighties was, in part, due to
privatisation. The government was selling off state assets (owned by everyone) to
a wealthier subset of the population, thereby increasing the gap between the rich
and the poor. Although it can be argued that the poorer have gained through
improved services, this is not true of all utilities and those at the top end have got
ridiculously wealthy.
iv. The loss of economies of scale
One of the major advantages of nationalized industries is that their sheer size
allows them to take advantage of economies of scale. Privatization normally
involves the break-up of a large entity into many smaller ones. This was
particularly true with the railways. These smaller units will not be able to take
advantage of economies of scale in the way that British Rail could in the past.
v. Job losses
Privatization forces the new private companies to be efficient, or at least find
some way of reducing their costs in order to make a profit given the strict pricing
formulae used by the regulators. By far the most popular way of cutting costs for
these firms was to shed labour in large quantities.
