02May14 - The demographic implications of Scottish independenceILC- UK
During 2014, ILC-UK, supported by the specialist insurance company, Partnership Assurance Group plc, is undertaking a series of events to explore the relationship between our changing demography and public policy.
The third event in the series explored the demographic implications of Scottish independence.
In 2014, Scotland will vote in an independence referendum which could significantly change its relationship with the rest of the United Kingdom. An independent Scotland would have a fully independent NHS, control a significant proportion of the North Sea oil reserves and will take on a percentage of the UK national debt.
An independent Scotland would also result in the UK having a new demographic makeup. There are currently a number of marked differences between the two countries which will be highlighted by the division. These include a 2.8 year gap in healthy life expectancy for men, as well as differences in overall life expectancy and mortality rates. Recent figures released by the ONS suggest that the future health of an independent Scotland may actually align with that of the UK. The number of children aged two to 15 either overweight or obese in Scotland is now equal to that of England (30%), and lower than Wales (36%), and Scottish men are significantly more active than their counterparts in both countries.
The seminar explored these differences, as well as how the demography of an independent Scotland may change over time, and what future Scottish Governments (with or without independence) may need to do to adapt to these demographic changes.
Scottish independence would have a number of age-related policy implications for both Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom. The issue of Scotland’s ageing population has already entered political debate, with the SNP announcing that, if elected, they would make new pensioners £4.40 a month better off than in England, while also pledging to set up a commission looking at the state pension age. The Scottish government has also announced that benefits, tax credits and state pensions would continue to be paid from the first day of independence, but have not addressed how they will meet the challenge of moving schemes from one administration to another.

The latest research on how Britain voted in the EU Referendum; what the vote for Brexit means to Britons; and what are the attitudes of other EU and non-EU countries to the referendum result.

Better Than That - Azimo and Migrants todayMichael Kent
It’s hard to ignore the fact that so much media coverage is painting migrants in a very negative light.
Here at Azimo this matters to us as many of the thousands of people connected with our business are migrants: our customers, our team and even our investors.
As a team, we wanted to do our bit to challenge what we believe are misconceptions, to bust some myths, and to celebrate the power of migration and migrants’ huge contribution to the countries they move to.
We know that we have a mountain to climb and the newspaper headlines are not the only problem. A study we conducted showed that 1 in 3 migrants in the UK have been the target of verbal abuse simply because of their country of origin. That's a staggering number.
We passionately believe that both British people and those migrants that call the UK home deserve better than that.
The report here looks at migrant myths vs reality. Take a look - we think the results will surprise you.
This is our protest and call to action for both natives and migrants who want to see a real perception change.
If you agree with what we’re saying, please share the word by sharing the report
With your help, we can prove that we’re all #betterthanthat

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 population of the UK is ageing. There are over 9.6 million people aged 65 and over. This is 16% of the total population, compared to 13% in 1971. During the same period, the proportion of under 16s has fallen from 25% to 19%. Projections indicate that the number of people aged 65+ will exceed the number of under 16s for the first time by 2021. Office of National Statistics – Social Trends 2008 http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme_social/Social_Trends38/Social_Trends_38.pdf As life expectancy has continued to rise, the number of people aged 85 and over has reached a record 1.2 million – 2% of the total population.

This has doubled in the last 25 years and more than tripled since 1972. In 2004/5, in the UK, 89% of lone parents with dependent children were receiving income-related benefits. Figures for the same period indicate that 66% of single-parent families live in rented housing, compared with 22% of couples with dependent children. One in seven children live in households where no parent is working.

There were 18,059 civil partnerships formed in the UK between December 2005 and the end of December 2006. The most popular areas to form a civil partnership were London, Manchester and Brighton & Hove. More men than women formed civil partnerships – in 2006, 60% of all civil partners were male. Male civil partners tended to be older than female civil partners. The average age at formation was 47 for men and 44 for women. Up to the end of 2006, 10% of men and 24% of women forming a civil partnership had been in a previous marriage. Office of National Statistics http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=1685
Sexuality is multi-faceted and difficult to define – there is a problem in determining what is being measured, eg. behaviour, desire, identity, or a combination of these. Furthermore, there is a privacy issue - it is not something people always wish to disclose. Therefore there has never been a question regarding sexuality in the official UK census, nor is there to be one on the next census in 2011. However, the Government is using the figure of 5-7% of the population, which the pressure group Stonewall feels is a reasonable estimate.

Estimates for the gypsy/traveller population in the UK range between 90,000 and 120,000. The uncertainty exists because the groups are not easily defined. Neither ‘gypsy’ nor ‘traveller’ were included as ethnic categories in the 2001 Census. Furthermore, there is a lack of information about the number of gypsies and other travellers living in houses and flats. Some estimates put the number of people of gypsy and traveller ancestry living in housing at as many as an additional 200,000.

Most ethnic minority groups in Britain have a younger age structure than the white British population.

Institute for Public Policy Research & National Health Service http://www.ippr.org.uk/publicationsandreports/publication.asp?id=263 http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Disability/Pages/Lifewithdisability.aspx Most of those who become disabled do so as adults. Although the likelihood of developing a disability increases with age, 70% of people are in work at the time of the onset of illness or impairment. Many disabled people do remain in work, but one in six lose their employment during the first year after becoming disabled. In England and Wales, there are 5.2 million people providing unpaid care, one in ten of the population.

Mental illnesses, such as depression and nervous complaints account for 9% of long term health problems (epilepsy 2.2%; difficulty in seeing 1.9%; difficulty in hearing 1.7%), with women being more adversely affected than men – 9.9% v 8.1%.
