Abstract: Education in the prison environment can have signifcant educational and behavioural outcomes in spite of the authoritarian nature of the regime, but to achieve either, a link must be established between the academic content of the programme and the realm of action. Three arguments, one political, one theoretical and the last educational, are advanced for the institution of democratic practices and a democratic ideology (though not necessarily a democratic pedagogy) within the prison education programme. Based on an experience in British Columbia, formal and informal democratic practices are seen as enhancing notions of citizenship, encouraging personal maturation and development, and deepening the impact of the educational content.

It is impossible to imagine modern life without education. It allows a person to learn something new, to know the reality around, to realize their abilities, to reveal their talents, to find a vocation in life. Education is not only the process of learning new information, but it is also the upbringing and development of the individual, their exposure to the world and national culture, the formation of a certain system of values. Currently, there are several problems in education, like in any other public sphere, that cause active discussion in society and require resolution at the legislative level. This article presents a legal study of spiritual education, taking into account its legal regulation and implementation in Russia at the present stage. The authors of the article consider the most important aspects of the implementation of the right to spiritual education in Russia and conduct a comparative legal analysis of the Russian legislation on spiritual education. The article considers the types of educational organizations that provide religious education and their educational programs, describes the foreign experience of religious education, and conducts a systematic analysis of educational standards of higher education. The authors identify current problems in the field of organization and implementation of religious education, give recommendations for their solution, and indicate areas for improving legislation on religious education. It is concluded that the introduction of subjects teaching religion in educational institutions is legal in compliance with the principle of voluntary choice of education.

Art Education: Conflicts and Connections (2020) is a publication that brings together papers by international academics, artists and educators that are based on presentations made during an InSEA seminar in Valletta, Malta, in 2019. Following a process of revision and peer review, the papers now offer a wealth of topics and discussions that revolve around the challenging nature of art and education, both of which avoid neutral or apolitical positions. Ranging from collaborative pedagogies to issues of cultural identity, democracy, diaspora and risk, the papers present ethical dilemmas that confront us in contemporary life as well as the possibility of dialogue through art. ; peer-reviewed

The quality and availability of labour is important for the performance of ports. In sights from cluster theories are relevant for analysing training and education in ports, as ports can be regarded as clusters. In general, labour in clusters is relatively mobile, education services in clusters are relatively good and employees have a high willingness to invest in specific skills. However, skilled and talented labour still may be scarce, especially in regions with tight labour markets. Thus, in many clusters, including port clusters, firms and governments actively aim to improve the quality of labour. This paper presents an analysis of these efforts of firms and governments to improve the quality of the labour force in three seaport clusters. In this paper the concept of a 'training and education regime' is presented as an approach to analyse efforts of firms and governments to improve the quality and availability of labour. Important results of three case studies include first, the observation that the quality of training and education regime differs substantially between clusters. Second, the presence of a regime manager in Rotterdam adds to the quality of Rotterdam's training and education regime. Such an organisation may be effective across countries and clusters. Finally, the presence of leader firms, willing to invest in training and education also improves an education regime.
