This chapter sets out to summarise the key messages and trends in the research reported in the essays in this book. We take forward the idea of corporatised governance, where we examine what the data and analysis has to say about the privatisation of public service education, and the particular contribution of corporate elites. Specifically we identify the movement of educational issues from the public to private domains; the relocation of public education issues from government institutions to particular private organisations and individuals; and the redesign of the meaning and conduct of professional practices, and teaching and learning. We examine what public education means, and how research has a role in making the case.

The integration of Internet and education has changed students’ learning environment and affected their learning behavior, which poses a greater challenge to the traditional teaching mode. Through the SWOT analysis of the “student centered” multi-element blended teaching mode in the era of “Internet + education”, it is concluded that the adaptability of learners themselves and the mismatch between teachers’ educational ideas and this teaching model delay the development of education to a certain extent. Some suggestions are put forward, such as strengthening the supervision and guidance, implementing the teaching and learning model scientifically, improving teachers’ ideology and comprehensive quality, and making full use of the characteristics of Internet opening, sharing and collaboration to construct the public service system and platform of national educational resources.

Radical reforms are taking place to public service education in western style democracies. We identify the corporatisation of governance, and the role and influence of corporate elites within and external to institutions and public education. Supported by a Foreword from Professor Romuald Normand, we present 15 essays organised in two parts: one that examines this from a system perspective, and one that gives more attention to provision. These essays present primary research and analysis from a range of national settings, where corporatisation is examined and charted. We interrogate this data and analysis in order to identify major trends that are not only national but also global. The book makes an original and significant conceptual and empirical contribution to understandings and explanations of public policy.

Lithuanian public e-services at the level of municipalities are lagging behind the level of the central authorities. This is due to many factors, which leads to a slight lack of good position. A large proportion of the municipal authorities do not have e-service development strategies, or governing documents by the activities of the virtual space. It should be noted that this situation is in the part of central authorities too. This leads to the situation that the strategy aims are not fully realized. Although individual government institutions have been successful and effectively developing e-services, e.g. the State Tax Inspectorate is at the fifth level of public service. In order to improve the needs of society and citizens, a public service list was formed, whose services should be transferred as soon as possible to the virtual space, and provided with the levels of public e-services. The implementation of established goals can expect significant improvement in this area. Important, but still weak-moved to the virtual space of the public service areas is the environmental area. There has been no public e-service concept of environmental area in Lithuania yet. The article describes models of public e-services in the field of waste management.

Delivering public service is an important matter where the performance of government institution is equally related to the public satisfactions. This study conducted from nine types of taxes in Bandung Municipal City. Survey has been held to assess the public satisfactions of the tax service performance in Bandung Municipal City for future tax service improvement and innovation to society. Importance-Performance Analysis is being used to measure the service attributes that provided by the authorized government institutions alongside SERVQUAL model from Parasuraman et al. (1985). The results indicate that there is no further handling from the submitted complaint by taxpayers, the limited infrastructure to pay the tax and also the media to convey their dissatisfaction toward current service. Hence, the tax payment system integration is needed which providing tax information base and require procedure to educate the taxpayer and improve accountability of authorized the local government institution.

This chapter reports on primary research into the experience of education professionals who are located at the interface of the privatisation of public education in England. Specifically data are provided from “dispossessed experts” who have moved into private consultancy through the push of redundancy from the public system and/or the pull of business freedoms as a rejection of public bureaucracy. I examine what it means to be located within a ‘conjunctural crisis’ through using the thinking tools of hysteresis, mimicry and misrecognition in order to examine the influence of corporate elites. Such influences impact on how individuals reposition at a time of major changes to identity and working lives (and livelihoods), where the neoliberal project is lived, revised and constructed through ordinary decisions and practices.

Insight Into

AbstractThe public has put increased pressure on organizations providing public services to demonstrate the most productive use of resources, with due regard for value received. Education is no exception. This study focus on the presentation and evaluation of public organizations (public grammar schools in our case) in education on the basis of their economy, efficiency and effectiveness as one of the indicators of performance assessment. The methodology of Value For Money presented in this study can provide useful information about the situation of education for public forces and for public grammar schools themselves. Also, this methodology may help to gain a deeper insight into strengths of individual schools, as well as in which they can improve. A limitation of the concept of VFM is that performance evaluation is possible only between homogeneous services. The originality and value of the study are reflected in its focus on such topics as monitoring and measuring of performance for public service organizations (i.e., education services). It also provides a tool for districts and individual schools to gain information using indicators employed here for identifying and solving the performance problems that occur in education system of Slovakia.

As this issue was in preparation, the journal learned with great regret of the passing of John Trim. John was a long-serving member of the Language Teaching Board and his insight and advice proved invaluable for this and previous editors. An expert in the field of phonetics, linguistics, language didactics and policy, John worked tirelessly to improve the state of language teaching throughout his life. Among his key posts, he was director of the Council of Europe's Modern Languages Projects from 1971 to 1997 and supervised significant developments in language learning and teaching, including the Threshold Level and the Common European Framework of Reference.As a tribute to the man and his work, we are publishing in this and a subsequent issue one of the last interviews John gave, where he looks back with his customary perspicacity at one of the most exciting periods of change in the teaching and learning of foreign languages.

The phenomenon of illegal levies that occur in Government Institutions/Institutions involves individuals and society, which makes a social culture maintained so that it becomes a natural thing. This greatly tarnished the Institutions/Institutions that provided services to the community. The issue of public service is very complex so that people in need and providers of public services tend to perpetuate these illegal levies. Current practices of illegal levies have damaged the joints of community life and caused harm to the people who need them. Like an iceberg phenomenon, illegal fees only appear if caught after legal complaints / actions by law enforcement officials, but there are still many that have not been reported / revealed. The purpose of this study is to contribute ideas in the context of eradicating illegal levies in the public service sector through a legal sociology approach. The type used in the study is normative juridical using the statutory approach.
