Modular Education

Certified education aimed at developing and documenting professional growth is an important issue for lifelong learning in developing countries. Some firms and educational institutions have applied different educational models to keep up with technological innovations. This study examines a Turkish programme for employees in the automotive sector and asks how the programme should be developed, where it should be conducted, and how it should be evaluated. The aim of the analysis is to develop a certification programme with the cooperation of both the academy and the business sector. Within the scope of the model, 560 people were trained and certified in three years with the support of institutional partnerships and non-governmental organizations. During this process, Bosch Aftermarket signed the Modular Education Act and, consequently, 220 Bosch employees were also trained. The effectiveness of the three-year educational programme was assessed using 360-degree self- and peer-evaluation. When the goals and the outcomes of the programme are compared, the levels of participants' satisfaction and demand for increasing collaboration are encouraging.

Environment Agency

The European Environment Agency warns that Europe consumes too many resources and causes environmental degradation all over the world. This leads to growing demands on natural systems for food, water and energy. To achieve sustainability and ecological resilience it is necessary to complement technology-focused measures with approaches addressing consumption behaviors, changing lifestyles, enhancing knowledge and education. There are environmental communication approaches stimulating responsible consumption and ecofriendly behaviors, conducted by science and educational institutions, non-governmental organizations and others. Among them, originating from Germany, are the alternative city tours, spread also in other western countries. The aim of this case study is to design and verify urban eco tours for an eastern country - Bulgaria in order to increase young people's sensitivity to sustainability through responsible consumption and to encourage them for ecofriendly alternatives of everyday goods and services. An approach for their implementation in Bulgaria is developed and proved through qualitative and quantitative analysis, involving two different groups of youth – multipliers leading the tours and teenagers taking part. The case study presents urban eco tours as an environmental protection tool, using information about environmental impact of consumption, combined with motivational activities, to change attitudes and encourage young people for ecofriendly lifestyles.  Keywords: environmental communication, education for sustainable development, eco tour, consumption, ecology

O objetivo deste texto é problematizar algumas polêmicas presentes no debate sobre o trabalho no Serviço Social, a partir da perspectiva marxiana da teoria do valor trabalho. Para enfrentar essas questões, o ponto de partida é o tensionamento entre projeto profissional e trabalho assalariado, que coloca para assistentes sociais os dilemas da alienação, uma vez que sua atividade é submetida ao poder dos empregadores, em grande parte o Estado, mas também organizações não governamentais e empresariais. O desafio consiste em apreender as formas pelas quais o trabalho de assistentes sociais ingressa (ou não) no reino do valor, no âmbito da sua inserção como trabalhadores assalariados do setor de serviços, que, com a mundialização e financeirização do capital, vem sendo sofrendo grande expansão e tornando-se fonte de novas formas de extração do valor. Palavras-Chave: Serviço Social; divisão social e técnica do trabalho; valor; trabalho em serviços. Abstract –This text’s objective is to problematize some controversies in the debate about labor in the area of social work, from the Marxian perspective of the labor theory of value. In order to address these issues, the starting point is the tension between professional project and paid work, which places social workers in the dilemmas of alienation, since their activity is submitted to the power of employers, largely the state, but also non-governmental organizations and business sectors. The challenge is to understand the ways in which the work of social workers enters (or not) the realm of value, within the framework of their insertion as salaried employees of the service sector, who, with the globalization and financialization of capital, have been experiencing great expansion and becoming a source of new forms of value extraction.Keywords: social work; social and technical division of labor; value; work in services.

The Right

Legislation is one of the most important tools for empowering children. Recent years have seen several key developments in the law, policy, and practice related to child rights. Significantly, with the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, a rights-based approach has acquired prominence in the child rights discourse across the world. The book analyses the laws in the light of court judgments and policy initiatives taken in India. It also examines the interventions and strategies employed by non-governmental organizations in recommending legislative reforms in support of children. This fully revised third edition focuses on the new legal developments in India—such as the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015; the new Central Adoption Resource Agency guidelines; the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009; and the National Food Security Act, 2013—thus attempting to integrate the law in theory and field practice. It is clear that realization of the rights of the child calls for a well defined, child friendly, national movement involving individuals, ad masses, peoples and societies, families and communities, states, and nations. Awareness of child rights by stakeholders is crucial.

New Discovery

Nowadays, governments, educational institutions, non-governmental organizations, the private economy and each individual make an effort to integrate the idea of sustainable development in all areas of the educational system. Specific skills and knowledge that we gain as children and teenagers in the family, at school, in training or university will not last for a lifetime. Humanity is programmed to survive. In this context the term ‘programmed’ does not mean the same thing that we use in the computer sciences. Herein, we are dealing with emotional tangle and the continuing struggle to find ourselves. In this way we discovered education as a process. The purpose of practicing this process is that the personal development of an individual can be organized by certain rules. However, the formality enters the function to some extent and we also know that man is inclined to lay in his use of free will. So now we have reached to a new discovery, which is appointed as informal education. This paper, first of all encompasses this form, but also skewed approach to public relations and prospects is also different from those which have been hitherto. First, we will discuss what PR is. Further, we will elaborate education as a process; moreover, we will see how it can be split any further. Hence, history encompasses a factual situation. Lastly, it will be given the interconnection among PR, mass media and informal education.

The Individual

The paper is directed at contributing to the awareness of the need to emphasize the need for music education in schools. Music has largely been touted as a tool for training, however, it is practically being employed as a source of entertainment and a means of engaging learners in the classroom, thereby paying less attention to its evolving effect on the individual. Consequently, a number of literature emphasizing the importance of music as an instrument for the total development of the learner, has been thoroughly reviewed in this paper. This is to expose stakeholders of education particularly educators, policymakers, parents and heads of educational institutions to the inseparable benefits of music in the general education of the learner. It is therefore crucial for teachers and heads of schools to liaise with Parent-teacher associations, non-governmental organizations, School management boards and the Ministry of Education to help furnish schools with appropriate musical instruments and facilities such as sound laboratories, secluded rooms for audio-visuals to aid teachers and learners in the teaching and learning endeavour.

Population problems are closely related to the economic and social conditions of the people due to the lower level of education and economy so that the awareness to follow the family planning program is low and lacks access to the available facilities and information. The independence of the family's economic is very important, considering that poverty not only affects the economic problems but also impacts on other issues such as life attitudes, family education, health and others which greatly influence the improvement of the quality of the human resources in Indonesia. In implementing the policy, synergicity of various elements of government institutions, communities, business institutions, such as working training centers, financial institutions, business and educational institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as mass media is strongly needed. With the paradigm of mutualistic symbiosis, the business continuity will be more secure and be able to support and promote each other for the same sake of developing and improving the condition through IIFW. In the era of regional autonomy in Indonesia, all existing local potential can be explored thoroughly to establish the synergicity so that the improvement of the economy in the region, especially, in the areas of the poor can be reached.
