- Turing funding comes “too late” to widen participationUniversities must think creatively about how to get the best value for money out of the Turing Scheme amid a “grim” fiscal environment, UK Department of Education deputy director told study abroad staff at conference on May 2. Responding to ongoing concerns from UK universities about the Turing Scheme’s funding model preventing widening participation in study abroad, Lya Noon deputy director of the DofE told university staff that she had heard their frustrations “loud and clear” and would put the “best possible business case” forward to ministers. The Turing Scheme was introduced in 2021 as the UK’s equivalent to the EU’s Erasmus+ exchange program, providing funding for students to study abroad with a particular focus on disadvantaged students. 然而, delegates of Universities UK’s 2024 International Higher Education Forum expressed frustration that Turing funding comes too late in the year, deterring students without their own savings from applying for study abroad programs without the guarantee of funding before the course begins. “My colleagues are getting increasingly nervous about saying anything about Turing because they don’t know if there’s enough money for students. 所以，, all they can say is that there’s a possibility of funding but that doesn’t help,” said Gabriele Vosseberg, ... 阅读更多9 小时 前

- Nancy Bailey's Education Website: Can Early Academic Pressure Cause Learning Disabilities?Nancy Bailey's Education Website: Can Early Academic Pressure Cause Learning Disabilities? When children face pressure to learn to read early in kindergarten and run into trouble, will they be diagnosed with learning disabilities when they only need more time? Creating one-size-fits-all, high-stakes standardized tests demanding children read by first grade creates pressure on the child, 亲, and teacher. Higher-than-usual expectations have existed since 2001, and NCLB even before then. Few have questioned whether reading expectations are developmentally appropriate, and some may profit from the claim that children have reading problems when it could be that, with time, they read well. 今天, we’re told children struggle to read because teachers haven’t taught correctly or public education fails. 然而, examining this further, throughout the years, parents and educators have increasingly fallen in line with the outside school reforms to demand that kindergartners read 同 the same high-stakes standards by first grade. Raising expectations so high that many children won’t grasp the instruction and fail the tests, claiming public schools and teachers fail, is a way to erode teacher trust and drive parents out of their public schools. This is out of the privatization playbook. Who’s talking about the fact that, 在 2014, 该 University of Virginia researchers ... 阅读更多16 小时 前

- K-12 bullish as Canada seeks to rebuild reputationCanada’s school districts are feeling optimistic about the international education sector – despite the federal government imposing a cap on study permits for post-secondary students. 多于 300 representatives of 90 school districts attended the annual Canadian Association of Public Schools – International conference in Niagara Falls, Ontario, this week for professional development and networking. School districts are busy, said Bonnie McKie, executive director of CAPS-I. “Coming to Canada for K-12 is as popular as ever. Some programs are already full for September, while others still have some space available,” she told PIE新闻. McKie is hopeful that the confusion caused by the cap is now in the past. “Although it didn’t directly impact the K-12 sector, it took a lot of time to explain to our partners abroad, including international agents, what it meant.” In order to cope with continued strong demand by students, districts across the country have stepped up efforts to recruit more homestay hosts; a large number quit during the pandemic. Mike Rosson and Jeff Holder of the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick programs urged attendees to put supports in place to ensure that new hosts stick with it – currently, a number of them ... 阅读更多19 小时 前
- Ontario PAL data shows colleges faring much better than unis
The provincial attestation letter allocation for Ontario leans heavily towards colleges over larger universities, according to preliminary data obtained from the province’s education body. Public colleges, according to a source close to Ministry of Colleges and Universities, have been allocated a staggering 84% of the share – while universities have only garnered a meagre 16%. Seneca College has officially been given the most PAL allocations – 20,388 – with Conestoga College receiving just under 19,885 and Fanshawe College receiving 16,752. The table, released on behalf of the source close to MCU, showed that OCAD University, Université de l’Ontario Français and Nipissing University received the least with only a few hundred each. Canada’s largest higher education institutions by enrolment, University of Toronto and York University, only received around 6,356 和 5,032 PAL allocations respectively. St Lawrence College, whose private partner college was embroiled in a scandal involving bulk admissions of international students (on which an exposé documentary was centred), received 4,661 allocations; still more of them than almost half of the universities received. Northern College – which had to reject 过 500 students because too many visas were accepted in the fall intake – has been awarded the least amount of ... 阅读更多20 小时 前
