Nur ungefähr ein Achtel der Arbeitlosen sind bereit, in eine Ausbildung oder Umschulung zu gehen, um damit ihre Chancen zu verbessern. Diese Gruppe ist auch bereit, räumlich-geograpische Mobilität inkaufzunehmen und ungünstigere Arbeitszeiten zu akzeptieren. Auf der anderen Seite beurteilen sie ihre Lage auch schlechter, als diejenigen, die eine Weiterbildung bevorzugen oder jegliche Maßnahmen ablehnen. Nur ein Viertel ist an einer Weiterbildung interessiert. Mit steigender Bildung nimmt die Bereitschaft zur Teilnahme zu. Dagegen ist die Bereitschaft bei älteren und Langzeitarbeitslosen wieder wesentlich geringer. (pra)

The investment in primary and secondary education is a
fundamental premise for achieving social and economic development, for
increasing labour productivity and for facilitating expansion in higher
education. Ensuring that new generations of children receive at least
primary education and that substantial proportions continue up to
secondary levels of schooling, an accurate monitoring of the educational
change becomes essential for assessing past progress and planning the
future course of educational development. This paper is an attempt in
this direction to examine the existing differentials and gaps in
enrolment, educational retention and capacity utilisation at primary and
secondary levels of schooling in Pakistan with special attention given
to the impact of educational plans and policies on these trends. The
study is based on both enrolment statistics and data on educational
institutions during the seventies and mid-eighties. The enrolment
statistics permit calculation of enrolment and continuation ratios for
measuring the magnitude of non-participation of children in schools,
while information on number of schools provides the possibility of
assessing the extent of utilisation of educational facilities and
measuring the gaps between existing and needed facilities for schools.
We have focused on primary and secondary schooling with a view to
recognise and address the basic issue concerning the development of
school education in Pakistan.

Over the years scholars, politicians, economists and others have recognized that no country could achieve economic growth and development without an efficient educational system. Functional education plays a central role in preparing individuals to become the labour force and in the same time to respect the environment in order to use efficiently the resources. It is said that from immemorial times, education was the one who offered solutions to various problems, but also generated a lot of controversies in the evolution of the world. Thus, in the case of a crisis, the education must be studied from at least two points of view. When speaking about crisis, first we must pose a question whether education is only a victim of the crisis or it may be a cause or a part of the solution needed to exit from the crisis. Starting from such a question, this paper aims to emphasize the existing connection between economic crisis and the contemporary education. The paper starts by using a retrospective and contrastive analysis, based on methodological pillars such as: filiations of ideas, genesis, and statistics. Using quantitative and also qualitative methods, the paper focuses on the way of functioning of the Romanian educational system and offers suggestions how to improve it.

AbstractWe analyse the effect of education on gender parity in wage employment in sub‐Saharan African countries. The data used cover a panel of 43 countries over the period 2000–2019. The two‐stage least squares method is used. The results show that secondary and tertiary education and gender parity in education improve gender equality in wage employment. Therefore, to reduce gender inequality in wage employment, African countries should promote gender equality, particularly in secondary and tertiary education, by adopting policies to alleviate the conditions and costs of schooling for girls.

This paper examines the relationship between the lobbying power of different interest groups and public education spending in a panel data estimation during the period 1996-2009 for 132 countries. The resource rents, manufacture exports, and agriculture value added are used as proxy variables for the lobbying power of the natural resource owners, manufacturers, and landowners, respectively, in order to substantiate the definition of the lobbying power of the interest groups more with economic fundamentals. As lobbying power is mediated through political institutions, different governance indicators are used individually and in interaction terms with the proxy variables in the estimations. It is found that when the country is more politically stable and the more the rule of law applies, the negative (positive) effect of the lobbying power of natural resource owners (manufacturers) on public education spending intensifies. The negative effect of landowners' lobbying power diminishes as institutional quality as measured by governance indicators improves.

Experiential learning has an important role to play in education; the typologies of experiential learning for civic education was employed to examine two case studies. One case study involves a teacher guiding Hong Kong students in experiential learning, which took place at a national level in mainland China. His approaches aligned with justice oriented and charity oriented. The second case study concerns a teacher who personally undertook experiential learning at a global level in Africa. Her approaches aligned with these typologies of experiential learning (personal development and justice oriented). Their journeys illustrated that different types of experiential learning have various influences on the perceived civic learning outcomes of learners. We suggest adding facilitating and hindering factors into the typologies of experiential learning, which would provide a more comprehensive conceptual framework to guide educators and researchers in organizing and conducting experiential learning activities and studies.
