A guide to the educational priorities and change to expect from the Obama administration Although the Obama's goals for education have been articulated in his speeches and on his website, what's missing is a picture of what these proposals mean in practice.

Unfortunately, one of the most popular topics today is the diseases of civilization, for which our changed lifestyle is responsible. It is very important that we educate and teach our children to protect nature, pay attention to their environment, move a lot. The role of the family is very important in passing on these values, so it is important and parents have to pay attention to give a good example for their children. In our research, we examined the ecological behavior, environmental values, environmental friendly behaviour and movement habits of students using a questionnaire method. The respondents were seventh and eighth grade students from schools in municipalities of different sizes. (N=558). We used different scales in our questions, such as NEP, PRE, APR, PEB1, HB. To present our results, we used basic statistics and calculated the results of the above-mentioned scales for the type of settlement with the help of SPSS program, analysis of variance (ANOVA). Our results showed that almost half of children believe that they should not respect the laws of nature, however, 71.9% mostly or completely like to go hiking in nature. Protecting ecological behaviour and environmental values is on the right way for students, but we need to draw their attention to becoming more energy efficient. Unfortunately, our results show, as has been supported by several literature, we live a sedentary, inactive life. 62.7% of students attend training that requires physical activity only once or 1-2 times a week. However, 56.7% of them spend at least 2-4 or more hours in front of the computer and / or use their mobilephone every day. Moreover, 33.3% spend 2-4 or more hours in front of the television every day. As at the HB movement scale, we found a difference in student movement as a function of residential settlements F555,2=4.458; p=0.012. If we want our children to live a healthy, quality life, we need to bring up and teach them for that as well.

In 1997, New Labour set about the task of reforming public services in the United Kingdom through the use of an ideology that became known as the 'Third Way'. This research examines the context from which this concept emerged, and explores its relationship with the tools of delivery, with particular reference to the Private Finance Initiative (PFI). The paper begins by reviewing the Third Way, before analysing the arguments for and against PFI. Using an example from the Northern Ireland education sector, the paper argues that the characteristics associated with the Third Way are mirrored in the operational tools of public service delivery, such as PFI. The paper concludes that, within the context of the case study reviewed, there is a 'consistent pragmatism' in play in relation to how these delivery initiatives are operated and how they relate to their conceptual underpinnings.
