Therefore, civic and political education is essential to the success of any democracy.

Surveys of past participants demonstrate that after the program, participants are more confident that they have the skills to become involved in politics and in community life.

AbstractBeginning in the 1850s, Christian missionary organizations established schools in Ottoman Palestine. A variety of networks developed over the years, principally those of the Anglicans and Catholics. Initially, these schools provided an education emphasizing European Christian values and subjects. Over time, however, a slow process of indigenization occurred. The first fruits of this process are illustrated by young leaders like Emil Tume and Tewfik Tubi who were prominent in the political opposition in Israel's first years of statehood. Another generation produced such notables as author Raja Shehadeh and Hanan Ashwari. In today's Israel and the Palestinian territories, the best schools, from a standpoint of matriculation, are Christian private schools that are open to all communities. Through this history, the article examines the development of a Christian school network and the political activism, involvement, and empowerment they engendered. It also provides a case study of the Rosary Sisters' school system.

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 study investigated Improving Quality Human Resource Management for Sustainable Growth, Security and Development of Education in Universities in Rivers State. The study adopted the descriptive statistical design. The population of the respondents comprised all the 10,371 teaching and non-teaching staff of the three Universities in Rivers State. The sample size is 284 comprising of 186 Teaching Staff and 98 Non-teaching Staff using the random stratified sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was a self-developed 14 item instrument entitled "Improving Quality Human Resource Management for Sustainable Growth, Security and Development of Education Questionnaire (IQHRMSGSDEQ)". Face, content and construct validities were ensured. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while the Z-test statistics was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.5 alpha level. The major finding of the study revealed among others that University Management is achieving moderate level of funding and improved training opportunities for Human Resource Management for sustainable growth, security and development of education in Universities in Rivers State. The study recommended among others that more funds should be allocated to Universities in Rivers State through Federal and State Government Intervention i.e. Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), and Universities Management should regularly train and retrain their staff following the comparative advantage of the global economy.

Much of the public discussion of early childhood education policies has focused on particular policy initiatives, rather than considering more broadly what should be the role of the state in relation to young children's education and upbringing. The roles that the state chooses to play are political decisions that are influenced by constructions of childhood and preferred policy approaches. In turn, these policy approaches help shape the nature of early childhood education. This article analyses changing models of state responsibility for New Zealand kindergartens to highlight their repercussions on kindergartens and the wider early childhood education sector. It argues that the state needs to take a supportive and responsible role in provision of early childhood care and education, to support a move away from a market model, and to resolve inequities in children's access and teacher employment conditions that continue to beset the sector. The article ends by setting the discussion within an international context and suggesting policy challenges for early childhood education in New Zealand.
