For social reformers in nineteenth-century Ireland, science had an important role to play in national development. Non-denominational or secular education was targeted by the government as a possible panacea for the Irish problem, submerging sectarian and political differences. In order to promote this secular ethos, the government established agencies such as the Board of National Education (B.N.E.) in 1831 and the Queen’s Colleges of Belfast, Cork and Galway in 1845. Science seemed to be an area of discourse particularly appropriate to the promotion of economic prosperity and social harmony through the common cause of education. The rhetoric of cultural transcendence was long associated with the advancement of science — from the Royal Society of London (1660) to the British Association for the Advancement of Science (1831) — and took root in nineteenth-century Ireland.

Century Science

The development of government participation in the support of research is one of the most significant characteristics of nineteenth-century science. As public money became available for science, the social framework of research underwent a profound transformation. This process of transformation is not easy to define, but the response of scientific societies and institutions sometimes provides significant clues.

Purpose: It has been an indispensable fact that Education has been a vibrant instrument in the developmental processes of any given nation across the world. In this article, the researchers made critical analysis of various educational reforms that have been undertaken in Ghana (formerly Gold Coast Colony) in both colonial and post-colonial periods and their relationship to improve educational standards towards national development. Methodology: Precisely, the paper scrutinizes historical development of Ghanaian’s education and its problems encountered in meeting its national developmental goal. Findings: In order to address the above challenges, this paper contends that it is important to separate the management of the education process from the national political agenda. Changes and management of the education processes should be handled by relevant stakeholders who are imbued with accurate, effective knowledge and acumen in the field of education and should follow appropriate procedures namely: examining the nation’s educational and historical trends, theoretical considerations, objectives of the education processes, curriculum and administration demands. Unique Contribution to Practice and Policy: The Ghanaian educational curriculum should be crafted by all stakeholders to suit the indigenous African context. These would meet the needs for the required manpower. The researchers also identified that some educational policies were reformed without appropriate analysis of the previous ones before those reformations were made due to over politicisation of the reforms. Above all, it is imperative to develop a clear educational policy and to correlate it to Ghana’s national character and societal needs. In order for education to foster accelerated development, this paper recommends: the need to separate educational policies from national politics, clear stipulation of educational policies and their role in national augmented development, and a sound implementation of educational reforms. The studies of technical subjects were mentioned in the entire policies yet very little has been done. The Researchers also suggest that there should be National Education Policy as Long term Plan for a specific number of years for every political party to implement so as to deny any political party to interfere with their political programme outside the national educational developmental plan. The researchers also suggest that for the government to help solve the problem of unemployment, technical and vocational education should be given a critical attention. This is due to the fact that some of the current problems have existed for over a century now.

Mass Circulation

At the close of the nineteenth century, the tsarist government faced an increasingly restive reading public, well-informed on a variety of issues through the proliferation of mass-circulation newspapers. A punitive censorship served as the basis for the autocracy's policies toward the press, but by 1900 it had long outgrown the requirements for dealing with a society undergoing modernization. As public opinion tacitly began to be recognized as a factor in national development, some officials realized that they must adapt to the changing journalistic demands of Russia's readers. Hoping to gain public support for the government, they knew that the prohibition of certain controversial topics would not generate the backing they sought. Following the example of successful commercial publishers, they argued that the government should take an active lead in supplying news.

Education is closely related to national development and is directed at the development of all Indonesian people. As an effort to implement the National Education System Law, the government hereby pays great attention to religious education. This study aims to determine the urgency of Hindu religious education on government policies regarding religious and religious education. The method used in this study is a qualitative method using descriptive analysis techniques, with data collection techniques carried out through library research. The results of the study stated that Hindu religious education has a function as a motivator and dynamist, can encourage the creativity of students to do good and right to achieve their life goals, as stated in the Vedas namely Moksartham Jagadhitaya Ca Iti Dharma, meaning that people can practice Hinduism, understand, If you live and practice it, then the purpose of life, namely physical and spiritual well-being, will be achieved in this world and the next life. It is said how great the function of Hinduism is in shaping the character of the nation's children, especially in ethics, morality and morality, developing spirituality in everyday life in order to achieve their life goals. In this context, the government always lists religious education as one of the compulsory subjects that must be taken from elementary school to university. This is reflected in the laws and regulations of the 1945 Constitution and the National Education System Law, as well as other laws and regulations.

The material on which the following notes are founded was collected during a short residence at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Millport, in August, 1908. A comprehensive survey of the marine fauna was impossible in so limited a time, but a fair idea of the parasites of some of the common fishes was obtained. I have to thank the Government Grant Committee of the Royal Society for enabling me to undertake this work. It is also necessary to gratefully acknowledge the courtesy of several members of the West of Scotland Marine Biological Association and of Mr Elmhirst, the director of the Millport Laboratory.

This chapter describes the Royal Society of Arts' founders by 1754, which had largely been aristocrats, clergymen, and natural philosophers, with the middle classes overwhelmingly represented by well-off merchants and artisans. It analyzes the scientific advances over the century that spawned new industries as scientists and inventors discovered new fuels, alloys, and chemical compounds. It also covers the emergence of a class of more specialized professionals, such as chemists that implemented or advised on the latest scientific advances. The chapter talks about professional inventors that changed Britain by concentrating their efforts on making improvements without having to then make money from the products of their new machines and techniques. It cites “Inventor seeks capitalist” as the common advertisement in the pages of nineteenth-century newspapers by inventors looking for someone to fund their patent.

The expansion of global higher education is convincingly beginning to seep into higher education connections in Indonesia. Foreign universities access into Indonesia will be a kind of ‘contestational’ and ‘exotic’ journey heavenly for business profits of ‘global education capitalists’ networks which mainly focus on two main objectives: ‘teaching’ and ‘research’. On the contrary, it becomes a momentum for us to stimulate the development of domestic campuses in order to be more dynamic in welcoming opportunities and challenges to create and innovate relevantly to the demands and the needs of the people of Republic of Indonesia through solid coordinations and supervisions in encouraging and accelerating national development through the sense of Nusantara characters. Sooner or later, the expansive academic infiltration of global higher education is beginning to drive our higher educations to compete among the superiors. Thus, the government of Republic of Indonesia has to endorse the capability, credibility and accountability of higher education institutions through the common sense on the basic values of higher education as non-profit organization being mandated by our national constitutions and laws in intensifying community service and welfare. Make everything closer to the community, not by adopting randomly all commercial motives of global higher education which are capitalist and liberal sensed. To sum up, a set of pro-public rules, controls and policies must be strategically prepared with adequate supports based on scientific truths, benefits, reasonings, justice, virtue, affordability, honesty, sustainability, and religious responsibilities and social diversities.   Keywords: Dynamics, Tri Dharma, Academic Community, Motivation and Academic Expansion, and Globalization of Higher Education Abstrak Perluasan pendidikan tinggi global secara meyakinkan mulai meresap ke dalam koneksi pendidikan tinggi di Indonesia. Akses universitas asing ke Indonesia akan menjadi semacam perjalanan 'kontroversial' dan 'eksotis' surgawi untuk keuntungan bisnis dari 'jaringan kapitalis pendidikan global' yang terutama berfokus pada dua tujuan utama: 'mengajar' dan 'penelitian'. Sebaliknya, itu menjadi momentum bagi kita untuk merangsang pengembangan kampus dalam negeri agar lebih dinamis dalam menyambut peluang dan tantangan untuk menciptakan dan berinovasi secara relevan dengan tuntutan dan kebutuhan masyarakat Republik Indonesia melalui koordinasi yang solid dan pengawasan dalam mendorong dan mempercepat pembangunan nasional melalui rasa karakter Nusantara. Cepat atau lambat, infiltrasi akademik yang luas dari pendidikan tinggi global mulai mendorong pendidikan tinggi kita untuk bersaing di antara para atasan. Dengan demikian, pemerintah Republik Indonesia harus mengesahkan kemampuan, kredibilitas dan akuntabilitas lembaga pendidikan tinggi melalui akal sehat pada nilai-nilai dasar pendidikan tinggi sebagai organisasi nirlaba yang diamanatkan oleh konstitusi dan undang-undang nasional kita dalam mengintensifkan pelayanan masyarakat dan kesejahteraan. Jadikan segalanya lebih dekat dengan komunitas, bukan dengan mengadopsi secara acak semua motif komersial pendidikan tinggi global yang bersifat kapitalis dan liberal. Singkatnya, seperangkat aturan, kontrol, dan kebijakan pro-publik harus dipersiapkan secara strategis dengan dukungan yang memadai berdasarkan pada kebenaran ilmiah, manfaat, pertimbangan, keadilan, kebajikan, keterjangkauan, kejujuran, keberlanjutan, dan tanggung jawab agama dan keragaman sosial.

The number of productive age of Indonesian population will reach the highest rate in the year 2035. Thisachievement actually begins in 2010. Since it is something new after this nation got its freedom, the government makes a lot of effort to make sure that the large  number of productive age population is in line with its high quality as well. The linearity of quantity and quality is then called by the demographic bonus (bonus demografi) which the national development enables to take advantage of it. However, if the condition both the quantity and the quality of the population is upside down between one to another itpossibly becomes disastrous demographic (bencana demografi) (Kemendikbud, 2013: 7). Many efforts have been carried out to pursue the demographic bonus. One of them is through the national education together with its management which emphasizes on pupils’ integrated multi-intelligence. Education and management are like two sides of coin. It brings many issues.  One of them is about humane education management issue. Most of educators and experts pay a little attention tothe humane education management in the teaching and learning activities (KBM, for short) in this country since they think it naturally goes on. At State Islamic Senior high School (MAN,for short) 2 Brebes is one for instance. Becoming the only state Islamic State Senior High School in southern District of Brebes, MAN 2 Brebes experiences quite good progress in the last five (5) years due to the academic and non-academic achievement. This paper describes the humane education management implemented by educators in MAN 2 Brebes. The type of research used in this paper is a qualitative case study approach. The research location is at MAN 2 Brebes. The subjects of the study consisted of Principal, Vice-Principals, Teachers, students and also Administration Staff. The Data Collection technique in this research is taken through interview, observation, documentation, and questionnaire.  The data validation test is done by triangulation and data collection techniques. The data analysis was performed with data reduction, display and conclusion. The result showed that humane education management that is carried out humanly in MAN 2 Brebes treats the learners humanely rather than the reverse such as bullying done by teachers or among students, theft, and other crime. Humane education management conducted in MAN 2 Brebes has a number of purposes. Among others are: 1). giving motivation for students, 2). initiating to self-concept, 3). Developing and improving creativity, 4). leading to positive curiosity, 5). reducing anxiety, and 6). escaping from  being  a stranger at madrasa.

Marie Boas Hall, All scientists now: the Royal Society in the nineteenth century , Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1984. Pp. xii + 261, £25.00. ISBN: 0-521-26746-3. The effort and meticulous scholarship which characterized Hall’s studies of 17th century science and which (together with the work of her husband) transformed the study of the Scientific Revolution and laid the foundations for current studies of this period, have been utilized in this history of the Royal Society in the 19th century. As with her work on Henry Oldenburg and the formative years of the Royal Society in the 17th century, she has found in the 19th century a period of extraordinary interest. The study opens with the Society, unbeknown to itself, only half way through the Presidency of Joseph Banks. The Society’s Fellowship comprised those who were what we would now call scientists (though few professionals) and those who were interested in natural knowledge either intellectually or for practical purposes - there being a very strong contingent of Admiralty and Naval Fellows who were closely connected with Banks’s patronage. When the study ends, in 1899, the Society was composed mainly of professional scientists. The first half of the book shows how this change was wrought by professional scientists consciously striving to exclude those Fellows representing broader cultural interests - thereby depriving the Society of many non-scientists who would, like their predecessors, have been useful Fellows in forging links between the Society and other parts of society. Thus the election of the Duke of Sussex against John Herschel for President in 1830 is well discussed, as is the subsequent reform movement leading up to the change of the Statutes in 1847. The second half of the book is devoted to discussing what the Society did, apart from act as a meeting place for Fellows to learn about each others’ work. This concentrates on the encouragement of science (and of scientific exploration), relations with other learned societies and with the government. It is in these latter two subjects that the chief motors propelling the Society to restrict membership almost entirely to practising scientists are to be found.
