Can media literacy education promote and improve youth engagement in civic and political life? Unfortunately, to date, there have been almost no quantitative assessments of the frequency of media literacy education, nor of any possible subsequent impacts. This study draws on a unique panel data set of a diverse group of youths in high school and college settings. It finds that exposure to media literacy education is not strongly related to demographic variables. In addition, with controls for prior levels of online political activities, for political interest, and for a broad range of demographic variables, this study also finds that digital media literacy education is associated with increased online political engagement and increased exposure to diverse perspectives.

The study's goal is to compare and contrast public and private university administration practices in Pakistan. Using a random sampling technique, 200 institutional heads from (various departments) of public and private institutions (universities) of Punjab were selected for the study.According to the study, managing operations at higher education institutions in these locations is difficult for both commercial and governmental universities. However, these two categories of institutions' management strategies differ significantly from one another. According to the survey, private institutions of higher learning place a greater emphasis on marketing and financial management than public ones. Private institutions place a high priority on promoting their offerings to draw students and donor support as compared to public institutions.

Volunteering participation rates vary greatly across countries even when the potential volunteers' individual characteristics are controlled. We therefore analyze the volunteers' motives against the backdrop of the predominant political and economic environment in different countries, focusing on the state's role in influencing an individual's decision to volunteer. Combining individual-level data from the European and World Values Survey with macroeconomic and political variables for OECD countries, we identify three channels through which governmental activities influence voluntary labor: size of the state (i.e., amount of public social expenditure), political consensus between voters and the government, and government support for democratization. Adapted from the source document.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disorder, the main features of which are qualitative violations of social interaction and verbal and nonverbal communication, as well as limited, repetitive, and stereotypical forms of behavior, interests, and activities. The listed development features indicate that the child needs the organization of psychosocial support, including the creation of special conditions, forms, and methods of the child's correctional education and training, providing the necessary assistance to the family. The problem of children with ASD in Russia is aggravated by the fact that rehabilitation and pedagogical support for such children is not available as far as is necessary. Insufficient number of specialized institutions, lack of specialists, and inefficient implementation of inclusion — all this reduces the chances of such children to receive effective affordable rehabilitation and quality education. Such rehabilitation requires a permanent system, a special approach applied in all areas of this rehabilitation: social, physical, psychological, etc. In the rehabilitation of children with ASD, the programs are considered effective when they include a set of measures aimed at behavioral correction and prevention of undesirable behavior of the child; methods that develop verbal communication skills and teach social interaction; methods that also allow developing physical abilities, especially coordination and spatial orientation.

It is suggested that education can help young people cope with identity problems in our global society so that their life remains meaningful, & their conflicts can be limited if not mastered. However, the opportunities for education are often overestimated in the face of competing socializing forces. To make education for global understanding more realistic & useful, recommendations are made with regard to: (1) the prerequisites for international understanding; (2) public opinion, with regard to existing preconceptions & prejudices; (3) increased public awareness of global interdependence; & (4) national education policy. 3 Tables.
