Financing Public Schools moves beyond the basics of financing public elementary and secondary education to explore the historical, philosophical, and legal underpinnings of a viable public school system. Coverage includes the operational aspects of school finance, including issues regarding teacher salaries and pensions, budgeting for instructional programs, school transportation, and risk management. Diving deeper than other school finance books, the authors explore the political framework within which schools must function, discuss the privatization of education and its effects on public sch

Education is a spoken word poem that explores many aspects of the African American struggle within (self-knowledge). It starts with an African American college student who is disappointed with the lack of courses about her culture. Most curricula in the United States tend to be from a Eurocentric perspective, leaving out a multitude of information about people of color. All groups of people of color have unique experiences, however, African Americans have the most known (or perhaps I should say, unknown) history. The standard explanation of their existence is often limited to the start of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, when African were captured and taken to the Americas. History books from kindergarten to twelfth grade do not seem to go any further than that – slavery. In fact, with the lack of studies on African history prior to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and the systematic methods to conceal the truth, there are not many college-level books that cover African history either. Education aims to uplift and educate the African American community. Throughout the poem, the student makes connections from information she learned from Anatomy and from outside readings. There are also spiritual connections from African culture that has been reflected upon. It also speaks on the struggles from the past and present of being put down because of one's race. It calls upon reflections of Trayvon Martin, Eric Gardner, and ancestors that were enslaved, freed, and living prior to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Overall, self-knowledge is one of the most important things to have. African Americans have been hurt spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, and often times, physically. Not knowing one's own culture immediately gravitates one to admire others and could potentially perpetuate self-hate. The information on one's culture should be readily available throughout the education system and commonly known.

Because of high students and labour mobility across the globe; it becomes important that national and global academic credit transfer in post-schooling education is well defined, easy to understand and reciprocated. The European community harmonised its credit transfer through the Bologna Process of 1999 to address connectivity of 46 countries. Credit transfer across different post-schooling institutional types, i.e., vertical transfers, got better defined in the post 2008 reforms in Australia. The National Qualifications Framework in South Africa redefined national and international horizontal transfers, i.e., across universities, but vertical transfers remain a huge problem. In the United States of America, transfer is facilitated by State legislation and State education boards and vertical articulation is well defined within States. Without well-defined national and international credit transfer modalities, the sustainability of national qualifications systems gets journalised and graduates become highly immobile. This chapter analyses the different credit transfer modalities, experiences and challenges across post-school education in the three countries of Australia, South Africa and the United States of America. The chapter makes recommendations for planning national and international credit transfer mechanisms.

Despite the fact that the Mediterranean region is marked by discontinuities and fractures, where the economic, culture and educational genealogies or coding of different states and groups of states reflect and occupy different sociological times, it is nevertheless possible to perceive a number of common elements which are worth focusing on. Among these one can refer to the transitional dynamics that mark most Mediterranean states, with major changes taking place in the economic, political, and cultural spheres. Such transformations generate tensions in states, caught up as these are in the process of globalization, where power in defining futures has both intra-state as well as inter-regional and international dimension ; peer-reviewed

Students and the work of schools are filled with stories of struggle and resilience. Education is not simply the pushing of buttons or pulling levers to manufacture students that graduate college and career ready. It is about the people that employ strategies to support students. This data report is presented as only part of the story. Information contained within are not endpoints or conclusions, but should lead to questions, ideas, and discussions to find ways to improve educational outcomes for all students. It is important to apply thoughtful supports and interventions while students are in our schools, surrounded with caring teachers, staff, and communities, so that after they walk across the stages at graduation, they have the opportunity to enroll in colleges and have fulfilling careers to the betterment of the state of Montana. ; Montana Office of Public Instruction

The U.S. requires a well-educated workforce to grow economy, strengthen democracy, and solve big problems at home and abroad. And individuals with a college degree benefit from more job security, employment opportunities, and higher wages. Yet, today, the U.S. lags other nations in the share of our population with a college degree. As others have expanded access to higher education, the U.S system has stagnated. Why? Its because the 7,000 colleges and universities across the states and territories still arent doing a good enough job getting Black and Latino Americans whose population numbers are on the rise across the finish line. And too many policymakers and state leaders are letting them get away with it, failing to make decisions that would increase college access and completion, particularly for historically underserved groups of students. This report offers state-by-state snapshots of where we stand in the quest for racial equity among degree-holders, how far we have to go, and what we need to do to get there. ; The Education Trust
