This paper examines the developments of Korean language education in Australia from the governmental efforts to introduce Korean at policy levels to recent development in Korean language programs, and explores the current issues and considers challenges ahead. The paper discusses not only how learning and teaching of Korean has been practised in the Australian context, but also the critical conditions needed to further advance Korean language education. Specifically the study provides an evidence base pertaining to Korean language study in schools and universities, and in the community, by undertaking the following objectives: (1) review of the relevant policies; (2) presentation of updated data on provision and participation (2010-2016); (3) up-to-date analysis and discussion of current issues and challenges specific to the Korean language; and (4) what needs to be done, including curriculum and delivery of programs. It is revealed that there are some encouraging signs of developments such as the significant increase of overall enrolments but at the same time there are a number of areas where further improvements should be made, including low enrolments in matriculation courses. Some key issues and challenges are highlighted and further discussed, hoping to help the policy makers and/or program authorities as they work towards practices and programs.

Indonesia currently faces multidimensional threats, from small to large, concerning all aspects of the country's life, from ideology, politics, economics, social, culture, defense, and security. The nature of contemporary threat has a human security aspect rather than only state security. As such, a thorough effort is needed to deal with those Threats, Disruption, Obstacle, Challenge (TDOC). State defense can be the answer to such problems because state defense itself can be interpreted as an obligation and responsibility of citizens to maintain the existence and sovereignty of the state. State defense will be optimal if disseminated through formal education. In this case, the formal education in question is at the level of higher education. This paper proposes that state defense can be held at higher education level in the form of university compulsory course, and is organized under the name State Defense Education. This State Defense Education is not military education or conscription, but an education that is adjusted to the condition and nuance of higher education.Keywords: Threat, Human Security, State Defense, and State Defense Education

"The role of the security establishment in Pakistan has been strengthened in a post-Musharraf era as social institutions are increasingly drawn into the security agenda. Pakistan's problems are often explained through the lens of ethnic or religious differences, the tense relationship between democracy and the Pakistan military, or geopolitics and terrorism, without taking into account young citizens' role in questioning the state and the role of the education system. Based on new research and interviews with more than 1900 Pakistanis aged 16-28 the authors examine young people's understanding of citizenship, political participation, the state and terrorism in post-Musharraf Pakistan. The authors explore the relationship between the youth and the security state, highlighting how the educational institutions, social media, political activism and the entire nature of the social contract in Pakistan has been increasingly securitized. The focus is on the voices of young Pakistanis, their views on state accountability (or lack thereof), political literacy and participation, and the continued problem of terrorism that is transforming their views of both their country and the world today. With 67% of the country's population under the age of 30, this book is a unique window into how Pakistan is likely to evolve in the next couple of decades."--

The South Carolina General Assembly passed and the Governor signed into law a joint resolution that tasked the South Carolina Department of Education with making recommendations for reducing and streamlining the amount of paperwork and reporting requirements placed on teachers, schools, and school districts. This report reflects the gathering of paperwork and reporting requirements directly from teachers, school administrators, and district office staff. By analyzing their feedback, this report provides a series of recommendations that if implemented with fidelity are believed to better allow educators to focus their time on student outcomes rather than burdensome administrative procedures.
