Why has Bangladesh failed to raise quality in basic education after it so successfully expanded school provision? This chapter explores the politics of both Bangladesh’s successful expansionary, and its lagged efforts to tackle the persistently poor quality of basic education. Using a political settlements lens, it shows how the competitive but clientelistic nature of Bangladesh’s politics shaped policies to expand schooling provision, without attending to learning—and in particular without addressing teacher performance. It analyses the elite consensus on mass education and the design of the Third Primary Education Development Programme (2011–15), tracing the analysis down through the education administration system to how schools themselves implement learning reforms. It concludes that the state has started to take learning seriously, but the political impetus for policies to hold teachers accountable for their performance lacks the wide support of the successful expansionary drive, so that any progress is slow.

Hungary’s accession to the European Union caused major changes in the country’s life. Rural development subsidies can be received through extensive application mechanisms. This is particularly challenging for lagging micro-regions. My study presents the lagging microregion of Ibrány-Nagyhalász, focusing on what types of organizations and upon what grounds received subsidies in the framework of the Agriculture and Rural Development Operational Programme 2004–2006 (AVOP). I focus on the same parameters when examining the measures in the third axis of the New Hungary Rural Development Programme 2007–2013 (ÚMVP), followed by a comparison between the two programmes’ effectiveness. I conclude that due to the experience collected throughout the period of AVOP, both the number and the quality of applications have risen from the year 2007. Still, due to the lack of competence, cooperation and motivation, the region's planned improvements are not yet fully met and the capabilities of the region are not yet fully exploited. For the future, even more complex and more feasible projects are needed.

Political Tension

During its first twenty years the Polish health service represented a neglected sector of government activity, as the development of heavy industry remained the predominant economic goal, with social policy regarded as a “nonproductive” sphere. When Edward Gierek came to power in 1970, the promise of reform extended throughout society to include health. However, despite a fundamental organizational reform, the health service has remained in a state of crisis, currently worsening as a result of mounting economic dislocation and political tension. Inadequate access to treatment, lack of continuity of care, poor quality of care, profound shortages of drugs and supplies, and the absence of preventive medicine are some of the manifestations of this crisis. Its main causes lie in the political weakness of the Ministry of Health, with consequent underfunding and the nonfulfillment of its plans. This situation is exacerbated by continuing organizational fragmentation, the neglect of primary care, the existence of conflicting aims in health policy, and the dominance of an ideology of clinical specialism.

This paper analyzes the gubernatorial election in Chiapas and establishes some similarities with the presidential election. It examines certain relevant indicators: the transition governments that fail to meet the citizen’s expectations, the political alliances formed before and after the elections, the lack of confidence towards the electoral institutions and the vote-tallying process; this last issue was the center of all debates in 2006. Based on evidences, this paper ponders on the poor quality of the citizen’s rights enjoyed in Mexico and studies the possibility of questioning the political transition itself.

<p>In the course of the first section, I make an attempt to define the most important actual implications of the theme that the anthology in question sets out to explore. In the next, I give a sketch of the three different modes of movement of logical thought present in Hegel’s <em>Science of Logic</em>, of their interrelation, and make a general criticism of the way that theme is handled in the book. In the third section, I stress the importance of an adequate understanding of the structure of the categories with which Hegel’s logical investigation takes its beginning. In the course of the two following sections, the interrelation between the themes of Hegel’s subjective logic and Marx’s commodity analysis are put into focus. The concluding section limits itself to giving an overview of the quality of the book in question, adding some words on the political significance of such literature in a broad context.</p>

The aim of the paper is to examine the influence of the information environment of a society or economy on public statistics, as well as demonstrating how official statistics can affect the quality of information environments of modern societies and economies in the context of global technologies and IT systems. In modern information societies and knowledge-based economies, the quality of information environments in which citizens, economic entities, public administration institutions and international organisations are functioning has a decisive influence on the political, social and economic order. These environments are shaped by interest groups which control information systems and processes at the local, national, international and global levels. The above-mentioned groups take advantage of the fundamental law of information, i.e. that poor quality information overrides good quality information, to eliminate any information that could make it more difficult for them to control the behavior of people, including social groups, and entities created by people, which participate in the political and economic processes. The paper examines the effects the contamination of the social information environment has on the political and social life and the economy. Attention has been drawn to the influence of the quality of information environment on official statistics and the perception of statistical data, as well as to using reliable statistical data to disinform and contaminate social and economic information environments by manipulating these data. The paper also shows how public statistics can influence information environments and its significance for the safety of the general public.

Hospital wastes are solid, liquid or gaseous substances which are produced as a result of diagnostic or non-diagnostic health care procedures in health facilities. These wastes generated in health facilities constitute a risk for environmental pollution and a vector for the propagation of numerous pathologies. This study was aimed at analysing the determinants of the quality of hospital wastes management in health facilities in the North Region of Cameroon. It was a cross-sectional study carried out over a period of two months (1st of July to 31st August 2015) in 13 referral health facilities of the North Region of Cameroon. A census of 12 heads of referral health facilities out of the 13 projected was made using a standardised questionnaire, in which the key items were: the political and institutional organisation, the functioning of the hospital wastes management system, the human resources, materials and finances involved in the management of the hospital wastes. The quality of the scores was calculated using points attributed to keys indicators enabling the appreciation of the level of the quality of hospital wastes management. The results of this study showed that on the political/institutional level, 41.70% of health facilities did not have a hospital hygiene unit, 66.67% did not have a reference document and no health facilities produced any report on activities of hospital wastes management. In material resources, 50% of health facilities had at least one incinerator which is more or less functional, 91.70% of health facilities had a trash can despite their non-conformity. Concerning finances, 91.70% of health facilities did not receive funds from government for hospital wastes management. In total, 92% of health facilities had a poor quality of hospital wastes management. In general, this situation is justified by the inexistence of a hospital wastes management policy. Despite certain efforts, the quality of hospital wastes management in health facilities in the North Region of Cameroun remains low. The implementation of an operational plan which will take into account the national directives and the identified problems is necessary as it, will help in improving the quality of hospital wastes management in these health facilities.

This article is very useful for readers because here they can observe, practical education and also academics to understand how to find the right solution in developing the quality of education especially in the era of regional autonomy and autonomy of education by applying various implementation of management principles, namely: good governance, internal and external efficiency of education. Through the application of three approaches, it is expected that: (1) institutional capacity building and all programs in the education sector can be implemented, (2) developing the quality of education through inputs, processes, and outputs based on regional autonomy, (3) benefits and impacts of basic education towards regional autonomy. it can be concluded that some things are efforts that need to be done in managing institutions to improve the quality of education in each region and region throughout the Republic of Indonesia: 1. Efforts to empower and increase institutional capacity based on 8 themes and principles of good governance which are normative rules to realize the entire program of decentralization and regional autonomy especially in the field of education. 2. Efforts to implement aspects of internal education efficiency with a focus on: input, process and output. 3. Efforts to implement external aspects of education by taking into account the benefits and impacts of educational outcomes. Improving the quality of education has not been in line with expectations because it is caused by several factors including the education development strategy that is more "input oriented" and "macro oriented" which tends to be regulated by the central bureaucracy To improve the quality of education in each region through a clear, directed, and effective approach, it is necessary to apply management principles in educational autonomy.

This paper aims to analyze the implementation and obstacles in coordination between supervisors and madrasah principals in improving the work performance of MIN 1 Aceh Tenggara teachers. The focus of this research discussion is the form of coordination, implementation, and coordination barriers between supervisors and principals of the madrasah. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytic method. Data collection was carried out by interviewing the participants of the MIN 1 Aceh Tenggara Teachers, and observation and documentation techniques. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The validity of the data was tested by means of triangulation, both methods and sources. The results of this study indicate that (1) the form of coordination between supervisors and principals of madrasah is in the form of an annual program of activities on teacher performance; (2) The coordination includes observation and class visits, supervision meetings and teacher training; and (3) obstacles in coordination, namely competition for the quality of madrasah ibtidaiyah with basic education institutions at the same level (SD-IT, SD, and other similar institutions).
