In addition to carefully designed and executed research, anecdotal examples can also be effective in exploring and understanding this challenging issue.

The imams of Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, had a fundamental and clear role in confronting the policy of the Byzantine Roman state, and this was embodied in several aspects, including the political side. On the economic side, they urged to get rid of the pressure and threat that the Romans were doing in this aspect, and as for the intellectual side, they had the leading role in responding to the Romans, so they achieved a clear scientific and intellectual superiority over them and thwarted their plans that they wanted, so the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt were upon them. Peace is in the front line w...

Schools and colleges are seriously affected by the depression. A number of types of federal relief have been provided which have to some extent improved the situation. In certain communities constructive measures have been adopted to advise and instruct unemployed adults. The proposal is made that secondary and higher education be largely or wholly supported by tuitions. Schools have a marked increase in attendance as a result of the operation of the industrial codes. The increase may be made permanent through an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The regional standardizing as...

Public policy toward education is forged by a variety of pressures, local, state, national and international. Social, political and economic tensions force administrative, legislative and judicial decisions with a profound effect on education. Public policies toward education are, therefore, never final. They are always emerging with changing conditions particularly those in recent decades brought about by rapidly ascending technologies.

Four separate papers present research and design in computer-assisted instruction in medical education, a fifth paper is a report of a panel discussion on Health Informatics as a unique discipline.

Education contributes powerfully to better health and public education is a foundation for democracy. Recently, however, private capital has viewed education as a profit center that can replace revenues lost to the decline of manufacturing. This chapter analyses the ways that modern capitalism has undermined equitable access to quality early childcare, K-12 education, and college by privatizing public education, creating and mandating expensive and inadequately tested but profitable educational tests, technologies and products, and imposing debt on schools and students. A powerful lobby of wea...

This chapter illustrates the transformative role that national education policies can play in working toward Sustainable Development Goals. Offering comparative examples from the ‘pluri-national state’ of Ecuador and the ‘Northern European welfare state’ of Finland, it highlights the potential of teaching languages, integrative thinking practices, and cultural alternatives to high-consumption lifestyles.

MEXICO in revolution lends itself to varied evaluations. Twoscore years of hectic activity in the search for national reforms that will compensate for the neglect of centuries has resulted in many changes in the social and economic processes of that nation. The pressure of time and of revolutionary enthusiasms has led to the inauguration of programs and the use of methods that to some may seem unwise and that in many instances are at least unconventional. Because these changes are both a product and a part of a social revolution, they take on the nature of controversies and are subject to conf...

Education is a catalyst for social change and a condition for the achievement of fundamental human rights. It increases cognitive and non-cognitive skills, improves productivity and provides individuals with a greater ability to further develop their knowledge and skills throughout their lives. It also makes women and men better equipped to secure steady, well-paid jobs and thus combat the risks of social exclusion. Furthermore, education can better prepare individuals to recognise and handle di cult situations. Economic independence makes it easier to leave a di cult situation, such as a viol...

(Caustic) note from an ex-student teacher.

During the early years of the thirties educational institutions were engrossed in devising ways of economizing. However, during this same period it became evident that the number and the plight of unemployed youth demanded a new kind of attention and relief. At this juncture the federal government entered the picture and organized relief agencies, the Civilian Conservation Corps and the National Youth Administration, which provided assistance for unemployed youth. During the latter years of the decade government assistance expanded to include the building of schools and the payment of wages to...
