Putting Children First: Identifying solutions and taking action to tackle poverty and inequality in Africa.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 23-25 October 2017
This three-day international conference aimed to engage policy makers, practitioners and researchers in identifying solutions for fighting child poverty and inequality in Africa, and in inspiring action towards change. The conference offered a platform for bridging divides across sectors, disciplines and policy, practice and research.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is one of the most common forms of violence against women worldwide. The most recent WHO (2013) reports show that nearly one third (30%) of women reported ever experiencing either physical IPV, with regional figures as large as 38%. Risk factors exist at the individual, couple and ecological levels, but no systematic study of models at these various levels has been attempted. The goal of this analysis is to present a systematic evaluation of competing models of IPV risk. Using a Bayesian modeling framework, we compare models at various levels and evaluate their performance in terms of explaining IPV risk. In general, individual-centric models fit the data better than the couple-centric models, and the best fitting model considered woman’s and couple’s effects, plus heterogeneity at the region level. Overall, in the Peruvian setting, partner violence is largely a product of individual and couple-level dynamics.

Pero también revelan graves brechas entre grupos sociales socioeconómicos, que empeoran si la madre es indígena, y poco educada. Además, esas desigualdades se evidencian apenas desde los 5 años de edad (vocabulario receptivo). Entonces, el rendimiento de los niños a los 5 años predice su desempeño varios años después, reflejando un sistema educativo inequitativo.

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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

• The Young Lives Study is an international study on childhood
poverty, funded (mainly) by DFID and implemented by Oxford
University (Dept. of Int. Dev.) and partners in the study countries.
• Data is collected in Ethiopia, India (Andrah Pradesh and Telangana),
Peru and Vietnam.
– 3 middle-income countries, 1 low-income country.
• Institutions involved in the study countries: GRADE and IIN in Peru;
EDRI in Ethiopia; CESS in India; CAF-VASS in Vietnam.
3. The Young Lives Study: 4 countries, 2
cohorts, 15 years
• In each country, two cohorts are tracked (12,000 in total):
– A cohort of 2,000 children born in 2001-2002 (younger cohort).
– A parallel cohort of 1,000 children born in 1994-1995 (older cohort).
• Data collection started in 2002. The fifth survey wave will take
place in 2016.
• A parallel qualitative study started in 2007, with 50 children (25 in
each cohort) tracked in each country. Four waves have been
completed.

8. Sampling approach
• Principles:
– Oversample poor areas (“pro-poor” samples).
– Samples should reflect countries diversity (ethnical, geographical, social).
– Sampling design should allow to study the context in which children live.
• A two-stage sampling procedure was chosen:
– In each country, 20 sites were sampled (non-randomly, except in Peru)
– 100 children randomly selected in each site (50 children in older cohort).
• In Peru, 20 districts were randomly sampled from the universe of
districts excluding the wealthiest 5%.

19. Key opportunities
1. Rich longitudinal data collected over 12 years.
2. Learning across countries (some examples: design of learning.
test scores, validation documents; annual meetings).
3. Capacity building (especially for Young Researchers; North-
South, South-North, South-South).
4. Building of international networks (NIH-Gates example).
20. Key challenges
• Cohort mantainance – strategies:
– Tracking between rounds.
– Reciprocity
• Family picture; small gift for the index child.
• Information sheet about public services available.
• Information to families about height/weight/vocabulary test of the index child .
• Information about study findings shared with local authorities.
– Retention of fieldworkers over time (as much as possible)
– Collect contact information of family members, relatives and neighbours.
21. Key challenges
• Other logistical aspects:
– Validation of instruments across countries; translation of questionnaires.
– Attrition in the older cohort.
– Increasing survey costs (due to migration).
• Research aspects:
– Request to access confidential data.
– Collaboration accross study countries.
