Informatiom Communication Technology (ICT) has an important place in the educational innovation program. New policies on educational innovation are built on the premises and prospects of effective ICT application in teaching and learning (Richards, 2004). Studies on ICT application in teaching and Electronic Book or Digital Hydbrid Text in Education and Training have been researched and developed by serveral countries in the US and Europe. This article analyzes some policies for ICT application in teaching and educational innovation in Vietnam. These policies are analyzed according to the approaches to the Government of Vietnam Orientation on the application of information technology in education; The Ministry of Education and Training's policies on the Vietnamese education renovation requirements, ICT equipment infrastructure, the capacity of teachers to apply ICT in teaching. The research results show that the government has tried to give directions for ICT to be widely applied from management to teaching activities. The Ministry of Education and Training has also issued circulars and specific instructions to promptly implement orientations from the government. However, the approach to applying ICT in education has many multidimensional and too broad theoretical bases. The instructions on ICT are too sketchy and not yet specific for the application of ICT in teaching and learning.

Background: The kingdom of Swaziland is a signatory to policies on universal education that ensure high quality basic education for all. Education for All is a commitment to provide equal opportunities for all children and the youth as provided for in the country’s constitution of 2005. The tone for the introduction of inclusive education in Swaziland was inevitably set by the new constitution of 2005. Since then several policies have been produced by the government, all aimed at providing equal education opportunities to all children in the country. These policies include the Swaziland National Children’s Policy (2009), Poverty Reduction Strategy and Action Plan (2006) and Draft Inclusive Education Policy (2008). The Education for All Policy (2010) is the policy that upon implementation became a stimulus for the introduction of inclusive education into mainstream schools; as a result, all teachers in the country’s schools were expected to be competent enough to teach learners with a wide range of educational needs. However, in-service teachers received inadequate staff development and training ahead of the implementation of inclusive education and a majority of teachers were not professionally developed for inclusive education, as pre-service students at tertiary training level.Objectives: This study investigated barriers in the implementation of inclusive education at high schools in the Gege branch, Swaziland, with a view to finding lasting solutions to inform research and government policy.Method: This research is a qualitative interpretive case study based on selected schools in the Gege branch of schools. Data was obtained through semi-structured research interviews and document analysis. It was processed and analysed through data coding, unitising, categorising and emergence of themes, which became the findings of the study.Results: Lack of facilities in the governments’ schools and teachers’ incompetence in identifying learners facing learning challenges in their classrooms are some barriers to inclusivity.Conclusion: The study concludes that there is a need for the Ministry of Education and Training to craft an inclusive curriculum in line with the inclusive policy in order to cater for the diverse educational needs of all learners in mainstream schools. It is thought that instituting a vibrant in-service and pre-service teacher training programme by the Ministry of Education and Training will increase teachers’ capacity to a level where teaching in inclusive classrooms does not negatively affect their competence.

Abstrak   Sertifikasi dan lisensi tenaga perpustakaan sekolah/ madrasah (TP-SM) merupakan dokumen yang menandakan pengakuan bahwa seseorang memiliki kewenangan untuk melaksanakan tugas sebagai tenaga pengelola perpustakaan di lembaga pendidikan (sekolah dan madrasah) secara profesional. Sertifikasi dan lisensi hanya diberikan kepada seseorang yang telah memenuhi persyaratan kualifikasi dan penguasaan tentang  standar kompetensi tenaga perpustakaan sekolah sebagaimana yang telah ditetapkan dalam Permendiknas Nomor 25 Tahun 2008. Penguasaan tentang standar kompetensi tersebut merupakan dasar dan pedoman dalam penyelenggaraan pendidikan dan pelatihan tenaga perpustakaan dan pendidikan profesi pustakawan untuk menerbitkan sertifikasi kompetensi dan pemberian lisensi tenaga perpustakaan dan pustakawan. Proporsi yang sangat rendah tentang keberadaan pustakawan dan/atau tenaga pengelola perpustakaan tentulah menjadi pekerjaan rumah bagi semua pihak, baik bagi pemerintah (Direktorat terkait di Kemdiknas dan Kemenag),  Perpusnas, perguruan tinggi pengelola program studi perpustakaan, dan asosiasi profesi. Hal ini terkait dengan kepemilikan perpustakaan dan tenaga pengelola perpustakaan di sekolah/ madrasah yang harus dapat terpenuhi selambat-lambatnya pada Juni 2013 atau 5 (lima) tahun setelah peraturan tentang hal tersebut ditetapkan.Permasalahannya adalah (1) Apakah semua tenaga perpustakaan sekolah yang ada saat ini sudah profesional?; (2) Kualifikasi dan kompetensi apa yang dibutuhkan agar mereka dapat menjadi profesional?; (3) Apa bukti yang menunjukkan bahwa mereka memiliki kewenangan sebagai tenaga perpustakaan yang profesional?; (4) Pendidikan atau pelatihan yang bagaimana yang dibutuhkan agar dapat mempersiapkan dan mengembangkan seseorang menjadi tenaga perpustakaan yang profesional? (5) Bagaimana kesiapan Perguruan Tinggi untuk mempersiapkan Tenaga Perpustakaan Sekolah/Madrasah ini? Jawabannya tentu perlu dikaji secara teoritik dan empirik. Sebagai bahan diskusi pertanyaan (1) dan (2) akan dijawab dengan paparan pada bagian B, pertanyaan (3) dan (4) akan dijawab melalui paparan pada bagian C, sedangkan pertanyaan ke (5) akan dijawab melalui paparan bagian D, dengan ilustrasi memaparkan Program Studi Perpustakaan dan Informasi, Jurusan Kurikulum dan Teknologi Pendidikan, Fakultas Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. Sertifikasi dan lisensi tenaga perpustakaan akan menghasilkan tenaga yang profesional apabila melibatkan berbagai unsur sebagai berikut, yaitu: perguruan tinggi penyelenggara disiplin ilmu perpustakaan, lembaga yang mengelola perpustakaan (Perpusnas), lembaga yang mengelola tenaga perpustakaan (Kemdiknas) dan asosiasi profesi perpustakaan. Kata Kunci:  Pustakawan,  Tenaga Pengelola Perpustakaan, Sertifikasi, Lisensi, Perpustakaan Sekolah/Madrasah, Pendidikan Pustakawan Abstract           Certification and license of school librarian/ Madrasah librarian (Tenaga Pustakawan-Sekolah/Madrasah - TPSM) refers to a document admitting that an individual has a right to execute a task assuming the responsibility to manage a library at an educational institution (school or Madrasah) professionally. The certification and the license are issued to individuals who have met some qualification as required so as to describe a mastery in a standardized competencies owned by school librarians as enacted by Permendiknas No.25/2008 (an Act of the Ministry of Education and Culture). The mastery of the aforementioned competencies serves as basics and principles in operationally running education and training for librarians and professional librarian education prior to the issuances of competency certification and license for assistant librarians and librarians. Less than adequate proportion of the existence of librarians remains a big task to be done by all parties including the Government  (directorates, Kemendikbud (Ministry of Education and Culture), and Ministry of Religion), Perpusnas (National Library of Indonesia), universities running the programs of library schools, and profession associations. It brings with it some concerns with services libraries and their librarians have to provide. According to the Permendiknas, by June 2013 (five years after the issuance of the Act) schools and Madrasah have to equipped themselves with libraries managed by librarians. Problems arise once concerns on providing library services have to be working: (1) Are all school/Madrasah librarians on duty professional in category?, (2) What qualifications and competencies should the librarians have to be professional?, (3) What could be the proof that the librarians have every right to work as professionals?, (4) What kind of education and training do the librarians need to undergo to have a good command of managing library collections professionally?, (5) How prepared are higher education institutions in training librarians to have adequate competencies in managing libraries? Answers to the queries need to be explored both theoretically and empirically through a study. To initiate a discussion, questions (1) and (2) will be entertained through explanation in Part B; questions (3) and (4) will be entertained through explanation in Part C while questions (5) will be entertained through explanation in Part D with an illustration of Library and Information Studies-Department of Curriculum and Educational Technology-Faculty of Education-UPI (Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia-Indonesia University of Education). Certification and license for school librarians will work the excellent way to produce professionals in librarianship if the  elements involved in the program are promising enough in terms of qualifications. Those to be involved include universities running the programs of library studies, institutions with the power of managing libraries nationwide including Perpusnas, institutions which concern in establishing libraries (Kemendikbud), and profession associations in librarianship.Key words: librarian, library managers, certification, license, school/Madrasah libraries, training for librarians.

Zambia has the largest youthful population of below 15 and 18 years which constitute 45.5% and 52.5% of the total population respectively. This is expected to rise by 2030. However, this huge number of young persons, which should be a great resource for economic development, is mostly unemployed (UNESCO, 2016). For many years now the government of the Republic of Zambia has been running and introducing more Vocational Education and Training Institutions as a way of reducing unemployment amongst young people. Regardless of all these efforts, most youths in Zambia who have graduated from such institutions remain unemployed (TEVETA, 2015). In this study, the researchers investigated the appropriateness and adequacy of institution’s teaching and learning resources that the students were exposed to during trainings and how the industrial attachments were organized by the Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. The mixed method research approach was used to analyze this phenomenon. Six college principals were purposively sampled while stratified and simple random sampling were used to sample sixty lecturers, ten from each of the six colleges. Findings showed that TVET institutions in Zambia were plagued with a number of challenges ranging from lack of appropriate and modern workshop equipment, lack of reading material and ineffective industrial attachment. Researchers recommend that the Ministry of Higher Education and college managements should provide a conducive learning environment in these institutions if graduates were to acquire the required technical competencies.

In Vietnam, since 2015, the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam has decided to abolish university entrance exams and advocates the use of high school graduation exam results of candidates for admission to go to universities. The 2015 and 2016 exam questions for the Math exam are the essay questions. From 2017 up to now, the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam has applied the form of multiple-choice exams for Mathematics in the high school graduation exam. There are many mixed opinions about the impact of this form of examination and admission on the quality of university students. In particular, the switch from the form of essay examination to multiple-choice exams led the entire Vietnam Mathematical Association at that time to send recommendations on continuing to maintain the form of essay examination for mathematics. The purposes of this article are analysis and evaluation the effects of relevant factors on the academic performance of advanced math students of university students, and offer solutions to optimize university entrance exam. The data set was provided by Training Management Department and Training Quality Control and Testing Laboratory of the University of Finance – Marketing. This dataset includes information about math high school graduation test scores, learning process scores (scores assessed by direct instructors), and advanced math course end test scores of 2834 students in courses from 2015 to 2019. Linear and non-linear regression machine learning models were used to solve the tasks given in this article. An analysis of the data was conducted to reveal the advantages and disadvantages of the change in university enrollment of the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training. Tools from the Python libraries have been supported and used effectively in the process of solving problems. Through building and surveying the model, there are suggestions and solutions to problems in enrollment and input quality assurance. Specifically, in the preparation of entrance exams, the entrance exam questions should not exceed 61-66 % of multiple choice questions.

The acquisition of reading skills is decisive for the academic achievement of students. However, learning to read is a complex process. With this in mind, several attempts have been made to find new educational approaches to enhance students' reading motivation. Considering the enormous potential of ICT for education and training, we have developed a digital repository of teaching and learning materials and a multiplatform application that runs on mobile devices: Letrinhas. This information system was designed to promote the development of reading and to provide tools for monitoring and assessing reading skills against the curricular targets set by the Ministry of Education. Letrinhas was evaluated by specialists and users and a high level of satisfaction was observed among students and teachers as time and effort spent to consolidate reading is considerably reduced with this application. This evaluation also enabled to identify features that will be available in the future.
