Youth empowerment is a structural and cultural process whereby young people gain the ability, authority, and agency to make decisions and implement changes in their own lives and the lives of other people. It is often addressed as a gateway to intergenerational equity, civic engagement and democracy building. Youth empowerment and development are vital stages in life for building the human capital that allows young people to avoid poverty and live better, and possibly have a more fulfilling life. All of these, probably could be achieved through dynamic curriculum of the higher education. // Upon this backdrop, this study examined higher education curriculum and youth empowerment in Nigeria. The study employed the descriptive research design of the survey type. The population for the study consisted lecturers of higher education in Ekiti and Oyo states, Nigeria. The sample used for the study was 500 lecturers who were purposely selected from the institutions. The instrument titled Questionnaire on Higher Education Curriculum and Youth Empowerment (QHECYE) was used for the study. Data collected were analyzed using t-test statistics. All the hypotheses raised were tested at 0.05 level of significant. // The study revealed significant relationship between conventional and, National Open Universities curriculum, and entrepreneurship education, Technical/Vocational education and youth's empowerment. The study strongly recommended full implementation of improved, innovative and dynamic curriculum in higher education in Nigeria to promote youth empowerment and development through skill acquisition and training. Also, the curriculum should specified one skill acquisition for all higher education students before awarded certificates. This study strongly believed that improved implementation of the practical areas of the curriculum would bring the convectional higher education and ODL to the attainments of its potentials. // Paper ID: 236
Educational provision in Scotland was revolutionised in the fifteenth century through the foundation of three universities, or studia generale, at St Andrews, Glasgow and Aberdeen. These institutions can be viewed as part of the general expansion in higher education across Europe from the late-fourteenth century, which saw the establishment of many new centres of learning, often intended to serve local needs. Their impact on Scotland ought to have been profound; in theory, they removed the need for its scholars to continue to seek higher education at the universities of England or the continent. Scotland's fifteenth-century universities were essentially episcopal foundations, formally instituted by bishops within the cathedral cities of their dioceses, designed to meet the educational needs and career aspirations of the clergy. They are not entirely neglected subjects; the previous generation of university historians – including A. Dunlop, J. Durkan and L. J. Macfarlane – did much to recover the institutional, organisational and curricular developments that shaped their character. Less well explored, are the over-arching political themes that influenced the evolution of university provision in fifteenth-century Scotland as a whole. Similarly under-researched, is the impact of these foundations on the scholarly community, and society more generally. This thesis explores these comparatively neglected themes in two parts. Part I presents a short narrative, offering a more politically sensitive interpretation of the introduction and expansion of higher educational provision in Scotland. Part II explores the impact of these foundations on Scottish scholars. The nature of extant sources inhibits reconstruction of the full extent of their influence on student numbers and patterns of university attendance. Instead, Part II presents a thorough quantitative and qualitative prosopographical study of the Scottish episcopate within the context of this embryonic era of university provision in Scotland. In so doing, this thesis offers new insights into a neglected aspect of contemporary clerical culture as well as the politics of fifteenth-century academic learning.
En este ensayo, el autor examina el desarrollo político peruano desde fines de los años ochenta. El énfasis se da desde la elección de Alberto Fujimori como Presidente de la República. Asimismo, analiza la crisis del sistema partidario peruano (su existencia y el rol de los partidos políticos) así como los más graves problemas en los últimos años: hiperinflación y terrorismo. Finalmente, plantea la discusión de las condiciones necesarias para el resurgimiento del sistema partidario en el Perú. ; In this essay the author seeks to examine political development in Peru since the late 1980's, especially since Alberto Fujimori's election as the president of Peru. It focuses on the breakdown of the Peruvian political party system (its existence and the political parties' roles), as well as the most critical problems in the last few years: hyperinflation and terrorism. Finally, it discusses the conditions under which the party system might be revived.
A partir de la década de 1980, el Perú, a diferencia de otros países de América Latina, ha sufrido un fuerte deterioro en sus fuerzas electorales, sobre todo en la organización y confianza que inspiran sus partidos políticos. No obstante, desde la época de Fujimori cuando los partidos sufrieron un ataque sistemático, lograron restablecer un espacio en la actividad electoral recuperando la actividad partidaria. La Ley de los Partidos Políticos del año 2003 tuvo la finalidad de fortalecer un sistema partidario pluralista; sin embargo, sus resultados fueron decepcionantes. En el año 2006 se realizaron tres rondas electorales que contribuyeron muy poco a renovar la confianza entre los votantes. Los partidos políticos cuentan con una estructura vertical, sin raíces profundas en la sociedad. No obstante, las elecciones municipales y regionales de noviembre de 2006 sugirieron la emergencia de nuevas fuerzas a nivel meso – de la política, junto con los movimientos sociales. El estudio de la política peruana requiere su propia descentralización. ; More than most Latin American countries in recent times, Peru has seen party voting strength, organisation and loyalties eroded. Since the Fujimori period, however – when parties found themselves under systematic attack – the return to more normal electoral activity has opened up a space for parties to reemerge. The 2003 Law on Political Parties was designed to strengthen a pluralistic party system. However, the results proved disappointing. Three rounds of elections in 2006 did little to restore voter confidence in Peru's major parties; these remain 'top-down' affairs with only shallow roots in society. However, the November 2006 local elections suggested that new forces may be emerging at the meso- level of politics in tandem with social movements. Study of Peruvian politics requires its own decentralisation.
Este artículo examina la tradición populista en el desarrollo político del Perú durante los últimos 50 años. Resalta algunas de las continuidades m la práctica política de los regímenes correspondientes, a pesar de sus distintas orientaciones ideológicas. En este afán, busca definir el 'populismo' como un estilo de gobierno que vincula a los gobernantes con los gobernados, ignorando los sistemas representativos de mediación política. Aunque el populismo suele emerger en momentos de crisis económica y política, cuando las instituciones representativas dejan de proveer soluciones a las demandas populares, también refleja la debilidad permanente de estas instituciones en el Perú a lo largo del siglo. A pesar de las distintas orientaciones de las políticas económicas de los gobiernos de García y Fujimori, la forma de hacer política de ambos es más similar de lo que convencionalmente se cree. Estas continuidades reflejan en parte, el gran abismo que existe entre el Estado y el resto de la sociedad. ; The article examines the populist tradition in Peru's political development over the last fifty years, seeking to draw attention to some of the continuities in the political practice of successive regimes, albeit ones of different ideological orientations. In so doing, it seeks to define 'populism' as a style of government which links the rulers with the ruled bypassing representative systems of political mediation. Whilst typically populism emerges at moment of economic and political crisis, when representative institutions fail lo provide solutions lo popular demands, it also reflects the longstanding weakness of such institutions in Peru this century. Despite the very different orientation of their economic policies, the political methods of the Garcia and Fujimori governments have more in common than is often believed. These continuities reflect, in part, the chasm dividing the state and the rest of society.
Whilst universities are about understanding and knowledge (including knowledge of oneself), they are not immune from disputation at many different levels. This brief paper examines the incidence of mediation in policies of selected universities. It examines the understanding of mediation in universities through an examination of those policies. The question could be asked: Why is this examination of the policies and practices surrounding mediation important? The answer is that we need to know how universities perceive mediation because it gives us an understanding of whether mediation is well understood and whether the policies allow mediation to be effective means for solving problems. That is, if mediation practices are not well understood, it follows that the policies might be difficult to implement and the solution to problems may not be expedited.
La escuela ha estado siendo objeto de un conjunto de demandas para que se hiciera cargo de «todas» las problemáticas de «la» infancia. Este comienzo de siglo nos muestra, con inusitada crudeza, que la única institución pública hasta hoy entronizada por la política social para la educación de las jóvenes generaciones, la escuela, no es suficiente para dar cauce a las múltiples demandas emergentes. Se trata, por tanto, de que la escuela re-centre su función, poniendo coto a un exceso de acumulación de funciones, que, en realidad, pretende ocultar los nuevos designios de la globalización para la escuela pública: su desaparición como instancia democrática y democratizadora en la tramitación de las herencias culturales. El mundo ha cambiado. También el de los niños. La noción misma de sistema que se emplea: un único orden posible para encauzar a «la» infancia, se transforma en el principal obstáculo epistemológico para pensar nuevas maneras de sostener la responsabilidad pública ante las nuevas generaciones. Se trata de realizar un esfuerzo de invención para un siglo nuevo. Podríamos pensar, por ejemplo, en cómo dar soporte a los niños y a los adolescentes para que puedan mantener con éxito su escolaridad, y acceder a lo social en sentido amplio y plural. Tal vez pase por otorgarles estatuto de sujetos de derecho, con quienes es posible convenir propuestas, propulsar proyectos, discutir alternativas. La educación social puede aquí iniciar su andadura. Podríamos pensar también en cómo dar soporte a la escuela para que re-centre su función en la transmisión de los valiosos legados culturales y trabaje en red con otras instituciones, para que niños y adolescentes puedan realizar sus experiencias de movilidad y confrontación. En suma, se trata de apostar porque la educación recupere, ante los procesos de banalización y vaciamiento culturales, la transmisión como polea social y cultural que articule a los jóvenes con el mundo.
In this book Susan Bee sets and illustrates a long serial poem by Charles Bernstein, offering a running visual dialogue with the poem's textual acrobatics. Together they explore the psychopathology of everyday life: at times dark, at times dizzyingly demented, swerving from the wildly comic to the searingly political and from the whimsical to the elegiac. Printed offset (black ink on white paper) by Brad Freeman. Cover designed by Philip Gallo and Susan Bee then laser-printed in color at the Hermetic Press. -- Granary Books web site The poem originally appeared in Salt . 500 copies printed--Colophon.
