Education

There are many definition of education but in a simple way education is an act or process of passing on or gaining general knowledge, building the ability to reason and judge, and generally training oneself or others mentally for matured life.


Many underdeveloped countries today do not pay attention to the importance of education in the society and this has made most countries not to be developed. I ask myself what advantage it will be if most of these underdeveloped countries have people in the government who are well educated and if they could give proper attention to the education sector of the country in order for the youth to develop and be able to reposition the country as they are been called leaders of tomorrow.


It is well known that education leads to success and I will be discussing the importance of education and why I think education is the backbone of anybody that needs to change the world in a positive way.

Education can never be underestimated as education forms the heart of any society. The knowledge of making new discoveries, executing these discoveries for the success of any society can be achieved through education. The growth of many developed countries today can be attributed to the quality of education that is been imparted to the people. People who have quality education are able to improve the society by making reforms that will cause economic, social and political growth and development of the society.

Education opens your mind to better understand the world around you and how things works. Learning the different cultures and happenings taking place at different places around the world is possible through education. Our horizons are been broaden through education so that we can not only confined to what is happening in our countries but what is happening around the world.


Good jobs today are given to well educated people, this was stressed in the words of the United State President Barrack Obama, when he said "In an economy where knowledge is the most valuable commodity a person and a country have to offer, the best jobs will go to the best educated- whether they live in the United States or India or China". This statement shows the importance of education in getting the best jobs in the society and holding the best positions in companies.
Education helps you to have confidence in life. You are able to plan your life effectively when you have education as it will help to analyze problems of life and be able to come out with solutions to those problems that you might face. Educated people are able to make decisions that can change life in a positive ways as they will have acquire alot of experience as they learn new things every day.


The importance of education is well evident in developed countries as it play a major role in personal and social development. Education has been used as a means to alleviate poverty, oppression, and war as the leaders are well equipped with knowledge to guide the country towards growth.


In some countries, there has been problem of overpopulation which is one of the greatest worry of mankind. Overpopulation can be attributed to lack of proper and better education. Sex education needs to be taught to the youths who are adult of tomorrow.


Financial growth in one's life can be achieved through education. Instructions on how to manage money and invest the money wisely can be achieved when you have good education as you are well knowledgeable on the ways to start your own business and reducing the risk of getting bankrupt.


Education has been used as a major tool to inform people of their rights and services that they can have access to. In order to be able to differentiate between doing the right and wrong, education plays a vital role as youth are been taught what ought to be done and what not to be done in the society and how they can be a responsible person in the society.


Lastly, children from their early age needs to understand the importance of education. This will help them have open minds and be able to have the determination to learn new things as their brain are able to assimilate new things when they are young.

Court Reporting ? Education Training Options

A written transcript provides a legal record of a trial or court proceeding that may be used in future proceedings. It is the responsibility of the court reporter to ensure that all transcripts are documented correctly. Educational training options leave two main paths to take and students can complete a program inside a vocational school.


A certificate and associate's degree program are the two main options for education. Students have to work through a preliminary step and a completion step before a career as a court reporter can be entered.


*Preliminary Step: Choose a Method


Formal training is required for this career field because the recorded information has to be accurate. The method of reporting students want to conduct directly affects the length of education needed. Stenography, electronic, and voice writing are three main methods available in court reporting.

To become a stenographer it takes two years of study while becoming a voice writer only takes around one year. While most programs approach learning in a general format many colleges have certain courses that can be taken to work exclusively in one area. Choosing a method is important and determines what level of education should be entered.

*Completion Step: General Approach


A certificate program is a good option for students that do not need or cannot complete a two-year associate's degree program. Students are immersed in courses that teach them to properly use transcription equipment. Shorthand techniques, terminology and technical writing courses are covered to prepare students for the fast paced and technical speech used inside a courtroom. The different areas of court proceedings are broken down into manageable pieces of information. Courses cover the industry by including topics on reporting technology, medical terminology, legal terminology, and testimony transcription. A medical terminology course will familiarize students with human anatomy, disease and drug terminology. Students study by understanding the root of words, which is beneficial when listening to a trial or a physician's testimony. Class work focuses on teaching students to be able to pronounce, spell, and explain medical words correctly.


To gain a more comprehensive understanding of the field students can enter an associate's degree program. Students learn the same material covered in a certificate program while being taught more work related tasks. Students should expect to walk away from a program with the ability to transcribe speech, type quickly and listen intently. Coursework expands to include more information on court reporting through subjects on document formatting issues, court procedures, and shorthand techniques. A court procedures course focuses on the court reporter's role inside trials, meetings, and hearings. Both levels of vocational training prepare students to step into the industry.


Completing the preliminary step to education will provide students with the right educational track. Taking the general approach is the most common path. Students should consider all educational options in order to enter the field that's right for them. Choose an accredited educational program in court reporting that provides the best training options for you. Accreditation is provided by agencies like the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) to programs that offer a quality education and meet certain criteria.

Education Law - An Overview

Education law covers a variety of different elements of a child's education, including different types of schools, school admissions, exclusions, home schooling, attendance and special needs education.

One of the first sections of education law is school admissions. A parent can state a preference for the school they would like their child or teenager to attend. All children have the right to a attend a state school, if the school that a parent applies to is oversubscribed, they will often have to make a second choice or appeal against the decision. A parent would need to ensure that their child meets the admission criteria for the school that they are applying for before they put forward an appeal.

The second area of education law to consider is school exclusions. There are two types of school exclusion, the first is a fixed term exclusion where the child is given the exact dates of when they must leave and return to the school. A fixed term exclusion will be given when other smaller punishments have not been deemed successful. The second is a permanent exclusion, this is when the child will no longer be allowed to attend their school. A permanent exclusion will only be given if the school and child have tried all the other options unsuccessfully. A parent can appeal against an exclusion as long as the exclusion was for over 5 days.

The next area is home schooling. In the UK, it is legal for a child to be schooled at home providing that the parent can prove to the local authority that their child is getting a decent education from the age of 5 up until they are 16. A child who is home schooled does not need to follow the national curriculum or the usual hours of a school day. The local authority may carry out checks on families that home school to ensure that the children are being well educated. If they discover that the children are being poorly educated they may issue the family with a School Attendance Order which would mean that the child would have to attend school formally. Parents should advise their local authority if they plan to home school their child.

Leading on from this is the matter of school attendance. Parents must ensure that their children are in some kind of education from the age of 5 up until they are 16. Legal action can be taken against parents who do not enforce this. The only legal reasons for a child to be absent from school is if they are sick or if they have arranged the absence with the school beforehand.

Another area of education law covers special needs. Special needs schools are for children who have some kind of learning difficulty or a disability which means they find it harder to learn than other children their age. Schools have specific guidelines for identifying children with special needs and ensuring that they get an education which suits their specific requirements.

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach in Law and Legal Education

It need not be emphasized that there is hardly any walk of life or branch of knowledge that does not impact law and legal that does not impact law and legal education and vice-versa. The era in which law was taught as an isolated discipline is long gone. So legal education, if taken seriously, is a confluence of all branches of knowledge. Teaching and learning law with economic, political, historical philosophical life science, technological and other such perspectives and reading them through legal perspective is one of the greatest challenges that universities in general and law universities and department in particular need to meet in earnest.

For example, learning how to write a patent requires law students to learn various nuances of science and technology, while a basic understanding of architecture is requisite for providing of architecture is requisite for providing legal advice to the construction industry.

Beside, the current global financial crisis is a clear illustration as to how a law student need to understand not only law but also banking systems, fundamentals of financing, accounting project designing and much more.

A law student has to face the challenges of global world. And as the profession becomes more and more global, it becomes imperative to understand the historical, political and economic foundations and dimensions of the functioning of global institutions. But then, how well are our law schools equipped to shoulder this responsibility? And is the curricular or the courses adequate?

Therefore, the lack of faculty trained in multiple disciplines and without varying professional experiences on one side and the non- availability of resources and infrastructure required on the other become issues of prime importance.

FINDING COMPETENT FACULTY


The problem o finding competent faculty can be met, albeit temporarily, if senior members of the bar take sabbatical leave to be on university campuses for four to six weeks a year on a rotational basis.

Their presence on these campuses would bring new dimensions and richness to the teaching, learning and research. Further, it would also help the faculty to draw on their expertise for updating revising and introducing new courses and curriculum. Their presence would be motivating and inspiring for the aspiring lawyers. If a senior advocate or a judge takes a two-months sabbatical every three years to help the law schools, they would help further the cause of legal education in the country. Beside, they owe it to the profession and to themselves as part of the legal fraternity.

Examples Of Education Law

What type of cases are Education Solicitors involved in? Education Solicitors can be used for any area related to the law within education and those involved in education. This article looks at some examples of the types of situation where Education Solicitors might be employed.

There are many examples of education related law. The author of this article is not a legal expert, and the below are simply some examples of situations where education solicitors may be used.

Entry to School, College or University

Some parents whose child has been denied a place at their first choice school have looked to take legal action in the belief that the decision is wrong in the eyes of the law. If they believe they are entitled to a place (for example they are within the catchment area) and have not been given one they may feel this is the only way to resolve the issue. They may know someone from further afield or someone who didnt reach the entry requirements who did get a place. They may therefore seek an explanation as to the reason for the rejection, and if unhappy with the reason given they might look to take it further.

Similarly, some students denied a University place may also look at the legal options if they feel they have met the requirement but have still not gained entry.

Bullying

There have been situations where parents have taken legal action because their child has been bullied at school. In many cases this is against the school because they have not taken adequate action. It might be that they believe steps werent put in place to prevent bullying or that teachers failed to spot it happening. In other cases there may be evidence that teachers knew what was happening but did nothing about it. Some parents have been in a situation where they have repeatedly told the school about a particular problem but nothing has been done about it, and therefore have sued the school for not acting in the correct matter.

Unfair Treatment from Teachers

There are sometimes accusations that a particular teacher has treated a pupil unfairly. It may even be that they have been bullied, either physically or verbally, by a teacher or picked on. Another example is where they feel their work is being unfairly marked.

Protest Against Exam Results

Some have taken legal action due to being unhappy about the exam results they have got. Some have had exams re-marked for this reasons, with some results changed as a consequence. There have been examples of this at GCSE, A-Level and Degree level.

Expulsion

There are times where parents feel that their child has been unjustifiably expelled from their school and they have decided to pursue the legal avenues.

Setting Up Independent Schools or Academies

Just like the setting up of a business, setting up an independent school requires certain legal processes. Therefore, specialist education solicitors may be hired to make sure everything runs smoothly from a legal standpoint.

Nursing Continuing Education

After a nurse receives the certificate or diploma necessary to work legally as a registered nurse, he or she is eligible to enroll in nursing continuing education, which emphasizes specialized fields in the nursing and medical fields and returns another certificate upon completion of the program. Some of the continuing nursing education fields available to registered nurses are: legal issues of health care, nursing administration and managerial skills, distinctive health care issues such as brain injury or paraplegic care, and working as an instructor in the physical, medical or social sciences. Educational institutions differ in the types of courses that they offer to the nurse wanting to pursue further advancement in the field of nursing, such as programs, which allow a R.N. to succeed as a nurse practitioner, or even eventually a physician.

Depending on the regulations held by the state in which a nurse obtains her degree, he or she may have to take nursing continuing education courses in order to retain their license.

These are referred to as "continuing education units" or CEU's, and are necessary for anyone employed in the medical field as they will instruct the nurse or physician about the latest developments and advances in medicine. Some of the states which do not mandate continuing education are Maryland, South Dakota, Virginia, and Connecticut. About half of all other states demand a certain amount of continuing education to maintain licensure. However, an advanced practical nurse is allowed to forego the nursing continuing education process in only one state, Arizona. The other forty-nine states ask for re-recertification by supplemental education courses to keep a license if you are an advanced practical nurse.

A good thing about nursing continuing education is that many registered nurses are able to attend these courses for free because their current employer will offer a grant that will pay for them, which is reimbursed to them by the government. In addition, there are several CEU programs available online, which offer flexible scheduling for the nurse who is working full-time but needs to be re-certified by taking a certain amount of courses. CEU classes can consist of a one-time seminar to lengthier sessions that may need to be tested over when completed. One "contact hour" is equal to sixty minutes, with ten "contact hours" needed to accomplish one CEU. An example of what are needed regarding "contact" hours is the California's requirement that a registered nurse must show that he or she has finalized thirty contact hours in two years for the state to grant a renewal of a nursing license.

However, be aware that these nursing continuing education points will not supplement the earning of a degree. These CEU units merely represent what is needed for a registered nurse to keep the licensure necessary to be employed as a certified nurse. The fundamental reason behind CEU's is so nurses can remain cognizant of relevant, up-to-date information in order to better assist the sick and injured.

Financial Education In Nigeria

In the world today, many young adults have debts before they reach 21. Children need to be educated about money and smart financial planning. The field of finance deals with concepts of time, money, risk and how they are interrelated. It also deals with how money is spent and budgeted. If the Education in Nigeria can focus more on this area of finance, the foundation of a strong and secure future of children would be built before they grow into adults.

Financial education, empowering individuals with valuable knowledge to take control of their finances and make informed decisions is recognised by many employers including those with businesses advertised in the Nigerian Financial Directory as the key to improving productivity and well-being. The level of financial capability changes peoples lives by increasing psychological well-being, life satisfaction and reducing anxiety and depression.

Make a list of essential financial facts that children need to know. This list can comprise of How to save, how to keep track of money and how to spend. The list should cover the common rules that will introduce the children to the world of finance. This structure should be according to the various ages of children. It is very significant that children understand that buying affects personal finance. From the Education in Nigeria perspective, if these basics are taught, children grow up being able to spend wisely, save up a lot of money which they can use to even start up a small business depending how long they have been saving. They can also be taught to understand how long it will take to buy something they really want. Teaching children about savings allows them to correlate work with prices, and begin to understand, in a deeper sense, the value of items and purchases and also wants versus needs.

Another aspect of financial education is teaching children the importance of charitable giving. Children are naturally receptive to sharing and they need to be taught that money can be used for more than just toys and savings. With this in mind, children grow up to associate money with not only good for themselves but good for others as well. Some companies found in the Nigeria Financial Directory have Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) which is the continuing commitment by businesses to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large. When children donate to deprived children, they need to be taught to understand that their monies went into buying better computers for their fellow school mates or even helping to feed the poor in the society.

Shanghai Education: Building Long Private Schools - Private Education - Education Industry

Establish pension system, the implementation of legal property rights ... ... Shanghai has introduced nine initiatives, building Private Education The development of long-term mechanism behind these initiatives, reflecting the development of private education in Shanghai What mind? Reporter Interview The Shanghai Education Commission Deputy Director of Private Education Management Wei Li.



Reporter: Why is the establishment of private schools to support teaching and administrative staff into the government pension system one of the conditions?



Li Wei: This is mainly to stabilize the private school teachers, faculty gradually improve their treatment after retirement. According to research in the private schools under the existing legal framework, corporate property is private non-enterprise units, rather than institutions, teachers hardly cause of the preparation. The establishment is entitled to various benefits, the private school teachers have not prepared, in the job classification, seniority calculations, retirement pension, medical insurance with the Public school teachers are different, difficult and Public School teachers have full equal treatment and legal status .



Currently, the legal property of private schools is still not resolved the fundamental premise for the stability of private school teachers, we encourage the establishment of private schools teaching staff pension system for private school teachers to purchase additional pension insurance, in order to improve their retirement treatment. Therefore, the Municipal Board of Education issued a circular calling for private schools participating countries in accordance with the law of statutory basic pension insurance and to fulfill payment obligations based on the affordability of private schools to establish a voluntary supplementary pension insurance system. This put this policy into government support funds were one of the conditions is that the private schools to further promote this work.



Reporter: Why strengthen the management of private schools in financial norms, the private schools into the government financial management practices to support one of the conditions?



Li Wei: This is mainly the Government's public financial investment in order to ensure the safety and effectiveness. According to research, Shanghai, the financial management of private schools there are some problems: First, large differences between the financial accounting system, financial accounting, accounting system has used private non-enterprise, business, institutions, and other stock of the accounting system, accounting wide variety of subjects setting, financial Software Different forms of accounting report can not reflect the actual operating conditions in schools. The second is between private schools and organized structure of property rights is not clear, particularly in private schools do not implement the legal property rights, no real sense of the independent legal status. Third, private schools arbitrariness strong fund management, mainly tuition income and government funding of public financial support, lack of special regulation. Fourth, the private school's performance evaluation system has not been established, the Government has no way to obtain information on private schools, school costs, the quality of their school, no way to evaluate school effectiveness, which continued to increase government support for public finances, evaluate benefits and challenges of using funds .

Currently, most private colleges not yet been implemented Shanghai corporate property rights, First, some private colleges in the start-up that is in the name of project organizers, and access to land began this school, and when the approval of the establishment of private universities failed to land school premises and other assets, and timely transfer to the school name. Second, the organizers will generally not be fully funded school, is the name of the land, premises or have been pledged, the school has more difficult access to credit, so the organizers can not be released from the transfer of assets pledged to the school's name .

Education

Education has over the years been highly acknowledged for its vital role in the human society. Many scholars and personalities have demonstrated the worth of education in the various sectors of human society including economics, culture, religion, and politics. Both developed and developing nations have shown a high regard on the worth of education, thus investing numerous societies. The 20th and 21st centuries have been outstanding in the numerous developments and revolutions in education. This has been evident in the sophisticated methodologies and structures set up for facilitating education. Technology on the other hand has also been highly incorporated in the education system thus making it more worthwhile. Despite these developments in education, optimum efficiency in the education system has not been realized thus calling for increased commitment from the different stakeholders. As a result, the role of the community engagement in schools has received significant attention in recent days. This phenomenon has drawn substantial attention concerning its influence in success and efficiency in the education system. This research paper will provide an in-depth analysis and discussion on community engagement in school.


According to Gelsthorpe and West-Burnham (2003), community engagement is the involvement of community members in school planning, decision making, communication, activities, visioning among other school related activities. The concept has been in place for quite some time, whereby various communities have adequately adopted it. Both developed and developing nations have shown an increased adoption of community engagement in school affairs. From another perspective, community engagement is also referred to as community involvement, collaboration or public engagement. All the concepts have the same or similar meaning in that they entail the engagement of the entire community or public in the running of the school (Gelsthorpe and West-Burnham, 2003).


Chadwick (2004) postulated that the concept of community engagement in school emerged following the speculation that children whose communities have engaged in schooling have a richer and diversified educational experience. This is not a new phenomenon, whereby it has been in place since the late 20th century. With reference to the high demand for quality in provision of education, there has been every need to devise the best strategies. In this case, community engagement has been one of the strategies for enhancing success and efficiency in the education system. With this in mind, the concept has gained momentum over the last century and diffused to all corners of the globe. Presently, the concept of community engagement is adopted in nearly all education systems both in developing and developed nations (Chadwick, 2004).


As noted by Hughes-hassell and Wheelock (2001), the scope of community engagement goes beyond the parents and their children. Hughes-hassell and Wheelock (2001) indicated that the business community around a school is also part of the school community and has to be included. Despite that the companies or the business communities living around the school do not have children; they have key interests in the welfare of the school. Their contribution is also vital in the success of the school, thus the need for their involvement. It is worth noting that the administrators of any school have a key role in deciding who to include or exclude from the school affair. This is based on the fact that not all community members have good interests in the school.



Background

The concept of community engagement in school has been influenced by a wide number of factors. To begin with, the issues of industrialization, advancement in technology as well as globalization have led to a high sense on the quality standards in education. Through globalization, parents and other interested parties to a school are able to open their reasoning in the gap in quality standards. This has been closely associated with comparisons on the education systems among various countries, where in this case developing nations have key interests on the education systems of developed countries. As a result, the issue of community engagement has come into place, whereby it seeks to bridge the knowledge in the running of the schools as well as policy making (Gelsthorpe and West-Burnham, 2003).


In relation to the increased expectations and workloads of school administrators in recent days, there is every need to incorporate the community. This is aimed at reducing the workload of the school administrators and thus enhances efficiency. School administrators in recent days are spread thin. This has made them to be inefficient thus leading to low quality education as well as failure of meeting the objectives of education. Based on this scenario, the quality of education has been compromised. With increased demand of education, the school resources and management has been put under high pressure. The issues of management in the school institutions have been a serious problem, with reference to the limited administrators. Most of the human personnel in the school have not been able to deliver services to the optimum. Hughes-hassell and Wheelock (2001) noted that the high demand of education has been the main cause of these problems.


On the other hand, discipline of students as well as school relations have also been a problem. In reference to this phenomenon, the school administrators are required to seek assistance from the community. Gelsthorpe and West-Burnham (2003) noted that the management of school funds as well as policy making has also been a vital problem. This is in relation to the high expectations on better quality education as well as financial efficiency in the running of the school. In light to this phenomenon, there has been a human resource gap in the running of the schools thus calling for community participation.


Benefits

Many researchers and scholars in the field of education have shown a strong correlation between community engagement and the success of a school. To begin with community engagement has helped in reducing the high workload of school administrators. Over the last 2 to 3 decades, there has been a very high expectation from school administrators and the entire school system. Based on this phenomenon, community engagement helps in reducing the workload of administrators thus enhancing their efficiency. The role of parents in school activities has been of great help in reducing the pressure on the administrators. This helps in enhancement of efficiency thus leading to quality improvement (Gelsthorpe and West-Burnham, 2003).


The burden overlying school administrators is lifted through community involvement. As indicated by Hughes-hassell and Wheelock (2001), community engagement enhances role sharing thus reducing the tasks played by the different personnel. In addition the scenario of administrators being spread in a spread thin is also overcome by community engagement. From this scenario, community learns on how to take the lead thus helping the administrators in undertaking their roles. The energy and time of community to a school is a vital resource to the success of the school. Hughes-hassell and Wheelock (2001) stipulated that the input of community to school can not be taken for granted. By sharing roles, specialization is achieved thus helping in attaining efficiency and increase in output and quality.

Government grants for education

As a student in college, you work load may be such that you do not have a lot of time for much else. You may not even have the time to work a job on the side to pay your tuition. As such, you may be better off taking a student loan. There are lots of facilities that offer that, you know.

With the number of credit companies out there falling over each other to get your attention, you seriously should not have trouble finding one to help with your student loan. Whoever said you have to go through college begging, or something? With the loan, you can pay your fees and meet your countless needs. Take the loan.

When you must take a college student loan, you may want to present some collateral. You don't absolutely have to, but you'll only be making matters hard on yourself that way. With the collateral, you can at least see that the interest rate that you are charges is not as high as they can sometimes go.

That would be so much easier on you in the future.

Even as a student in college, you can apply for a loan to help you with the teeming expenses you have in collage. And Lord knows there are expenses in there! You probably thought it was a piece of cake before, but was in your freshman year. Now you know better; now you need that loan. You had better go get it.

When you need financial aid, you may decide you will seek to win a grant from someone, based on financial need. However, you are more in control of your own destiny with a college student loan. You don't have to let someone else dictate how you spend the money. As long as it is legal, and as long as you are not squandering it, you should not worry your head a bit.

There are other costs of attending college besides tuition. There is your accommodation to pay for, there is gas to fuel your car with, books to buy, and the list goes on. Seriously, your stipend from home is not going to get you very far. What you need is a college student loan to tide you through until you are on your own two feet.
