Purpose: Through reviewing an education policy blueprint in Norway, titled “An Offer of Homework Assistance” (issued by the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training in June 2010), the present article aims to shed light on how Norway uses education as an arena to realize social equality and equity. Design/Approach/Methods: This is an analytical policy review. Findings: By examining the background, goals, contents, and implementation of the homework assistance program, we have found that the Norwegian government institutes evidence-based policies in education. Although there is criticism concerning the policy and its implementation, empirical evaluative investigations have found that it brings a variety of benefits. Originality/Value: The present article is useful to understand educational policymaking in Norway and how the country is making efforts to achieve social equality and equity through education.

Practice Problem: Healthcare volunteer responders are an asset during disasters, and their retention is necessary to meet rising demands. This project aimed to develop and implement an evidence-based practice change using a healthcare volunteer retention program and evaluate its influence on retention. PICOT: The PICOT question that guided this evidence-based practice project was: In healthcare volunteers, how does the participation in a formal healthcare volunteer retention program influence healthcare volunteer retention rate, intent to stay, and volunteer satisfaction 12 weeks after Healthcare Volunteer Retention Program introduction? Evidence: The evidence from the literature supported mentoring, education and training, and social support to retain healthcare volunteers. Intervention: The Iowa Model Collaborative guided this project using the Plan, Do, Study, and Act framework to implement the Healthcare Volunteer Retention Program. Healthcare volunteer retention, education and training, and surveys before and after implementation were monitored to evaluate the retention program’s influence. Outcomes: The implementation resulted in a retention rate of 98%, the intent to stay improved by 6%, and 89% of the survey participants were satisfied with the retention program. Additionally, a paired-samples t-test conducted to compare the survey’s results before and after implementation resulted in a t-value of 3.508 at alpha = .05, which supported the effectiveness of the retention program. Conclusion: Local, regional, national, and worldwide opportunities exist to build capacity for healthcare volunteers. Disaster response readiness by healthcare volunteers requires mentoring, education and training, and social support to improve this workforce’s retention.

Összefoglaló. Tanulmányunkban arra keressük a választ, hogy az elkövetkező évtizedekben miként befolyásolhatják a hazai demográfiai folyamatok és oktatáspolitikai beavatkozások az oktatást igénybe vevők létszámát. Népesség-előreszámításaink szerint a következő évtizedekben folytatódik a hazai népesség 1980 óta tartó csökkenése. Elemzésünkből látható, hogy hosszú távon valamennyi képzési szinten csökkeni fog a nevelési-oktatási rendszert igénybe vevők létszáma, hozzátéve, hogy az oktatáspolitikának van némi mozgástere a létszámok alakításában. A várható létszámcsökkenés jelentős megtakarítást indukálhat, a kérdés az, hogy ezt mire használjuk fel, visszaforgatjuk vagy kivonjuk az oktatási rendszerből. Summary. In our study, we seek to answer the question of how demographic trends and educational policy interventions in the coming decades may affect the number of people in education. Our population projections show that the decline in the domestic population since 1980 will continue in the coming decades. Our analysis shows that in the long term, the number of people in education and training at all levels of education will fall, adding that education policy has some room for manoeuvre in adjusting the number of students. The expected reduction in the number of students could generate substantial savings, the question is how to use them, whether to reinvest them or to withdraw them from the education system.

Introduction. Despite the increasing importance of the vocational education and training systems in the developed countries, with rare exceptions, there are no strategic management tools adequate to the present context. The system of vocational education and training (VET), being a complex and multidimensional object, requires adequate approaches to manage its development. The present article demonstrates one of these approaches based on forecasting possible system states in the long term, identifying and comparing alternative development scenarios. The requirements for describing scenarios for the development of regional vocational education and training system, including the possible structure of the description and parameters of the scenarios, are presented and justified. The advantages of an approach to forecasting, based on a comprehensive qualitative description of possible states of the regional ecosystem of VET, are shown.The aim of the present article was to demonstrate a scientific approach to long-term forecasting of the development of vocational education and training.Methodology and research methods. The current research is based on the methodology of system analysis of social objects, using the methods of comparative analysis and modeling of social systems, scenario planning and expert methods.Results and scientific novelty. As a result of the research, a methodology for the scientific description of scenarios for the development of vocational education and training, under the influence of a set of probable factors, was developed. The novelty of the results lies in the possibility of constructing a number of alternative scenarios using relatively stable model modules.Practical significance. The research results can be applied in the process of strategic planning for the development of vocational education and training in the regions of the Russian Federation, as well as for the regional vocational education and training systems of other countries.

While the full impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution remains uncertain, it is by now generally accepted that highly intelligent technologies and their applications – such as robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, digitialisation, and big Data – will continue to fundamentally transform all aspects of our occupational and personal lives. Yet, in the realm of higher education policy and specifically with regard to non-STEM disciplines like law, thorough-going engagement with this most recent wave of technological development remains lacking. It is the aim of this article to set a policy agenda for legal education and training that is sensitive to the opportunities and potential negative outfall of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (now exacerbated by COVID-19), while also taking into consideration the distinctive nature of legal education and training in England and Wales. Set against the higher education policy landscape of England and Wales, a number of concrete recommendations are made for bringing legal education and training into the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. These include, for example, a call for the radical transformation of the traditional, linear, and monodisciplinary LLB degree, addressing current and projected skills gaps and skills shortages by way of, inter alia, curriculum reform, and working towards greater mobility of law graduates between different legal jurisdictions and also within one jurisdiction but amongst different roles. These changes are necessary as legal education and training in England and Wales currently leave law graduates ill-equipped for the future labour market and do not adequately value and build on the job-tasks that legal professionals uniquely supply.
