Education Initiatives

With a high percentage of Syrian refugees population in Jordan aged 18 - 35 years, the number of refugees that are willing to access the job market is very high. Therefore, many organizations try to make these refugees qualified by enrolling them within many educational and training programs in order to enhance their skills, thus make them able to find jobs. However, with the presence of many challenges that are facing Syrian youths in accessing the tertiary education system in Jordan, many organizations that offered scholarships at the tertiary education level couldn’t achieve the highest possible number of beneficiaries. Accordingly, this study aims to highlight the obstacles and inappropriate practices of many tertiary education initiatives that led to a low number of beneficiaries, in order to overcome repeating such practices in the future.

According to the ‘International Standard Classification of Education’ (ISCED), ‘Continuing Education’ is composed of the ‘Continuing Primary and Lower Secondary Adult Education’ (ISCED1, ISCED2), followed by the ‘Adult Education and Training’ System (ISCED3), including an ‘Upper Secondary Education System’ (ISCED4 and finally, the ‘Tertiary Education’ (ISCED5, ISCED6 and above). In 2016 the percent of ‘early leavers’ from education and training amounted in Italy to 13.8%, while the EU average amounted to 10.7%. In the same period the attendance to ISCED1-ISCED3 Adult Education Courses (age 25-64) amounted to 8.3%, while the EU average amounted to 10.8%. As for ‘Tertiary Education’, the percent attainment of a university degree amounted to 29.5% among Italians and to 13.4% among foreigners residing in Italy, while the EU averages amounted to 39.9% and 35.4% respectively. According to the Author, the relatively higher percent of early leavers from education and training in Italy and the relatively low attendance to ‘Continuing Education’ programs is due to the low employment rate in the Country, particularly significant in the age range 20-34, as a consequence of the severe economic crisis which hit the country in 2008 and still persists, causing the closure of many private enterprises and the block of the turn-over at public educational institutions. In spite of all that, the quality of the Italian Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Education System is of an excellent level, as compared with that of similar institutions all over the world. In Author’s opinion, increasing the investment in the educational system would increase the attendance to Secondary and Tertiary Adult Education courses, with a positive feedback on productivity.

Anthropologists are in the midst of a great transformation. All anthropologists, wherever they work, will be thinking and working differently in the future. Much of this change will be caused by the shrinkage of the academic job market. This shrinkage is leading to a wide variety of individual and group adaptations. The most obvious adaptations are the special training programs in applied anthropology. There are many of these now. While the creation of special training programs is only one kind of adaptation, perhaps it is the most important.

The need for research in the field of transport psychology in Bulgaria has become more tangible in recent years, due to both the increased public intolerance to aggressive driving and the very high number of injuries and fatalities in road accidents in the country. The main objective of this study is to investigate the interconnection between Driving style, Traffic locus of control, and the Impulsivity in Bulgarian drivers. A research is conducted in order to examine the relations between the constructs in Bulgarian sample (n = 456, male = 204; female = 252; average age = 37). The results show that there are significant correlations between impulsivity and all driving styles. Positive correlations were found with the maladaptive driving styles, while the adaptive driving style was negatively associated with impulsivity. Correlations between the traffic locus of control and the driving styles were also found. These results provide a very good opportunity for further research in this area as well as for the development of prevention and training programs in the field of road safety.

Depth Analysis

The article offers a review of innovative concepts in modern higher education along with providing the in-depth analysis and evidence summary of its key trends that are currently relevant and are gaining popularity in most world countries. Thus, the authors attempt to attain the research objective which is to explore the major global trends and innovations in the area of higher education as well as the opportunities for their application in domestic institutions of higher education. The study used general scientific and special research methods: scientific generalization and systematization – to reveal the characteristics of innovative international trends in higher education; comparative analysis – for mapping certain aspects of the national and world-class higher education; system analysis – to identify the factors driving innovation development in higher education; the logical synthesis – to explain the results of the study. The survey of modern global education trends has enabled to shape the following major innovation tendencies, such as: integration of systems thinking entailing the harmonization of assessment and grading systems and diplomas at different education levels to prevent duplication and improve timely accomplishment of training programs; creating the new and enhancing the current financial aid schemes and funding models that promote actual effective performance, etc.; human vs. artificial intelligence competition; building sustainable communities (from both, socio-cultural and economic perspectives); maintaining a combination of traditional and non-traditional learning which is primarily manifested through offering wider flexible opportunities for adults wishing to get tertiary education or undergo further retraining; identification and assessment of competences as well as ensuring training programs compliance with the needs of the contemporary labour market. It is argued that a failure to respond to the above challenges, the outdated higher education standards that are not keeping pace with technological progress, innovations and growing demand for relevant specialists in the labour market make many of the domestic education institutions lag behind. The education system also fails to pay due attention to modern realia of professional domain and applied issues of professional training which triggers devaluation of University degrees and hence leads to the imbalance in the labour market, characterized at present by a significant unemployment rate among persons with higher education.

The Australian hydrocarbon industry is dynamic in its existing and planned growth. The need for a sustainable, highly skilled, safe, and work-ready workforce is critical to the success of the industry for now and the future. Every nation blessed with hydrocarbon resources should view its hydrocarbon industry as a national treasure to be nurtured for the benefit and prosperity of the nation and its people through maximising it’s in-country value. While there are many strands to creating sustainable in-country value, at the core of any sustainability is the skills development of the workforce. Improving the volume of local products and services is critical to creating lasting in-country value and this will only be achieved by the supply of a skilled, qualified, and competent workforce from a world-class learning infrastructure. Such an infrastructure must be created in full alignment with an industry led skills agenda aligned to business needs, integrated with education and training providers, supported by government and the education system, and managed by a focused independent industry skills body. This extended abstract describes a model for creating such a national skills infrastructure. It shows how this work will be led and owned by the collective industry as they will set the skills agenda and the priorities. Finally it identifies the benefits for business, for employees, and for the nation itself as hydrocarbon resources are nurtured for the long-term prosperity of all.

Co-curricular activities in general are believed to be useful for students’ development, such as improvement in academic performance, higher retention rate, enhancement of social and competency skills, and assistance of youth development and employment. With the expansion of the education sector and the implementation of a new 3-3-4 education system in Hong Kong, the background and training of students is different from the past, so it is worthwhile investigating students’ interest, understanding and perceptions about co-curricular activities nowadays in an Asian context. Comparison between the perceptions of sub-degree and degree students is discussed. Similarities and differences are found in both groups of students. Based on the findings, suggestions are made to education institutions in planning their resources on co-curricular activities.

The foundation for a productive, efficient and effective workforce is high quality and relevant training and ideally, educators, policy makers and the industry practitioners should agree on what should be included in training programs. This chapter discusses views of automotive trainees about whether or not they believed their training was directed appropriately towards work within the automotive industry of the future. Data was collected from automotive trainees located in Kenya and Australia. Data was obtained by use of questionnaires and analyzed with both quantitative and qualitative foci. The questions asked regarded the emphasis of training, the content of training, the facilities in training and coping with technological change in the workplace. Data were discussed according to three themes on generic skills, adequacy of training to work requirements and training facilities. In both countries, it was found that there is a need for more realignment of training offering to the future industry requirements. It is recommended that a consultative approach should be used in the training programs design with a view to reducing the gap between industry requirements and training offerings.
