"This book studies the various dimensions of gender inequality that persist in higher education and employment in India. It presents an in-depth analysis of the complex challenges women face in higher education participation and translating higher education opportunities into labour market success and to leadership positions, including in academia. It argues that despite a substantial progress towards gender equality in enrolment, these inequalities pose as barriers in realising the transformative role that higher education can have for women's wellbeing and for the nation's development. The volume looks at the issues that keep women from accessing the areas of their choice, and the challenges they face in leadership positions in higher education. An important critique of higher education policy and planning, the volume will be of interest to teachers, students, and researchers of education, public policy, political science and international relations, economics, feminism, women's studies, gender studies, law, and sociology. It will also be useful for academicians, policymakers, and anyone interested in the study of gender in Indian Higher Education"--

The issue of social exclusion and the consequences of this process for members of minority groups is becoming increasingly important in the field of education. The answers to this state are the postulates of anti-discrimination education and intercultural education. It is worth reflecting what common features, and what are the differences between the two approaches? How can we define the interrelationships between the intercultural education and anti-discrimination education? In this article the two approaches are mentioned as: "the two sides of the same coin" and also as: "anti-discrimination education as a specific continuation of intercultural education ... and vice versa", or as a result of seeing different problems "being together in manifold world". These different reviews of the problem generate different consequences for understanding these two approaches. Their association may be present in a variety of events and initiatives at both school and other institutions of education and socialization among children, adolescents and adults

This paper examines music education's legitimation of values as a means of preparing students for entry into the new 'knowledge society' of the People's Republic of China in a global age. It explores the ways in which values education relates to the teaching of both musical and non-musical meanings in the dual context of nationalism and globalization, and discusses some problems that values education faces in school music classrooms. It examines the ways in which globalization has pressured values education into resolving the apparent contradiction between national identity and national unity in the ever-changing play of Chinese history and politics. It concludes with a discussion of how music education might juggle three pairs of apparently contradictory relationships in the curriculum: between contemporary cultural and social values on the one hand, and traditional Chinese and Communist ideologies on the other; between collectivism and individualism; and between national and global cultures. © 2009 Taylor & Francis. ; postprint

This volume provides an in-depth analysis of the critical dimensions of higher education in India. It focuses on the growth and expansion of private higher education and public policy. The volume discusses issues related to the growth of for-profit and not-for-profit private higher education institutions and their implications at the policy level. It outlines the role of such institutions towards the internationalization and global ranking of the Indian higher education system. The book discusses the trends in internationalisation adopted by private higher education institutions and explains the resulting impact on aspects such as the diversity of programs, skill formation, employability, pedagogic practices, standards, curriculum development, and research and development, as well as the wider externalities in terms of promoting India's soft power and international relations with other countries. While outlining the challenges of Open Distance Learning (ODL) and online education in India, the book also discusses the use of ICT, OER, and MOOCS among others to address the challenges of the ODL system. This volume will be of interest to teachers, students, and researchers of education, public policy, political science, international relations, law, sociology, economics, and political economy. It will also be useful for academicians, policymakers, and anyone interested in the internationalization of Indian Higher Education.

Der Beitrag stellt kurz die Implementierung von Global Citizenship Education in der LehrerInnenausbildung der lehramtsausbildenden Institutionen der Steiermark, des Burgenlands und Kärntens vor. Davon ausgehend blickt die Autorin in das Feld der Erwachsenenbildung und schlussfolgert: Impulse für die Erwachsenenbildung können in Ansätzen bereits abgeleitet werden. Als Gesamtkonzept muss Global Citizenship Education aber in beiden Bildungsbereichen noch ihren Stand finden. (DIPF/Orig.) ; The article briefly presents the implementation of global citizenship education in teacher training at institutions that educate schoolteachers in Styria, Burgenland and Carinthia. Based on this, the author takes a look at the field of adult education and concludes: Impulses for adult education are already beginning to emerge. As a general concept, however, global citizenship education must still find its footing in both fields of education. (DIPF/Orig.)
