The purpose of this study was to develop an information base on educational service delivery for limited English proficient (LEP), handicapped students in 145 randomly selected school districts in California. Information on the districts was gathered both from existing data banks and a survey questionnaire. The survey instrument was returned by 104 districts for a response rate of 71%. Information was gathered on the following: proportion of LEP students in special education programs; the procedures commonly used in the screening, identification, evaluation, and reevaluation of LEP, handicapped students; educational placement options; and the curricula and instructional practices employed. The study concluded that quantitatively the state was doing well relative to identification and placement into special education of LEP students but that qualitative aspects of service delivery are frequently contrary to those recommended by both theory and research.

This paper examined university educational service delivery strategy in a changing world as it affects ethical values and leadership integrity in Nigeria.  This was for the purpose of determining appropriate strategies for improving the quality of service delivery system in Nigerian universities.  The paper submits that the quality and quantity of educational services has considerably been improved in relation to internal efficiency of resources.  Moreso, the problem of access to education has become a significant phenomenon with its deleterious effect on labour market supply.  The university education has also become more relevant to manpower training and development.  However, the paper established that the high level of moral decadence among the students as well as the leaders has affected the quality of education in Nigeria.  The deplorable condition of Nigerian universities need be improved upon by all the stakeholders.  Also, resource allocation and utilization towards quality assurance in Nigerian education system need be properly considered for financial and moral supports by the government and private organizations in Nigeria.

The 1993/1994 reforms in China created the fiscal space for public investment and rapid growth, based on modern tax instruments (VAT) and administration by offsetting local gainers and losers though the transfer system — and allocation of funds for investment in coastal hubs. Current challenges of congestion, pollution, and growing inequality require the design and financing for new sustainable growth hubs. This will involve an interface between local, national and cross border investments in connectivity under the One Belt One Road Initiative, together with new options for subnational (local) own-taxes, transfers, service delivery and strengthened governance mechanisms to monitor and manage liabilities, including PPPs.

AbstractTechnical assistance may be defined as help from an outside agency designed to improve the competence of educational service delivery personnel by increasing their planning, management and organisational or programmatic skills as applied to tasks of service delivery to pupils. Such assistance may function within and between the federal, state or regional levels of governments, tertiary institutions, schools and other agencies concerned with educational service delivery. The limitations of traditional ‘ad hoc’ consultation systems are discussed and a formal model for technical asssistance delivery is proposed. It is argued that a realistic service would combine both formal and informal elements and would include problem analyses, development of inservice training curricula, the conduct of surveys and service needs, assessment, development and review of publications, design and conduct of evaluations, assistance to apply new techniques of service and other means of translating knowledge into practice.

Transnational education (TNE) is widely viewed as focussing on a new form of educational practice specific to the globalised world of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This article explores the potential that a historical perspective can offer. Particular attention is due the political and societal context of colonialism. It focusses on the Deutsche Kolonialschule (German Colonial School) where young German men trained for a life overseas between 1898 and 1944. First, it gives a brief overview of the Kolonialschule’s founding and development. The second part explores the various forms of cross-border networks and interconnections that it was part of. The third part analyses the intended types of education and training as well as the educational goals of the Kolonialschule. Fourth, a conclusion takes up the initial question looking at the potentials of a historical perspective on transnational education.

It is now the responsibility of educators to provide for the education of severely handicapped students in what has been referred to as “the least restrictive educational environment.” This paper discusses least restrictive educational environments in relation to segregation versus integration, interactions with nonhandicapped age peers, the ratio between handicapped and nonhandicapped students, chronologically age-appropriate educational environments, architectural barriers and prosthetized environments, “normal” organization of the school day, equal access to school facilities and resources, transportation, and ancillary services. The fundamental premise offered here is that educational service delivery models for severely handicapped students must closely approximate the best educational service delivery models used for nonhandicapped students.
