I N T E R N ATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE
It initiates, designs and co-ordinates major international, interdisciplinary research programmes, particularly in the areas of global environmental change.
The teaching of science through inquiry-based, hands on approaches at primary and secondary levels needs to be incorporated as a fundamental component of basic education in bo th developing and deve l o ped co un tr i es.
Scientists should assist curriculum developers in identifying relevant topics, incorporating science themes into the coverage of such topics and creating appropriate materials for teaching and learning.
Starting with individual scientists and their c apacity and dedication to do the research, we can link to three organisational needs: (I) national co-ordinating bodies for facilitating the working environment, collaboration/networking, setting priorities and allocating resources; (II) higher education systems for the production high quality scientists; and (III) scienti fic and managerial c a pa c i ty to de s i gn res e arch programmes aiming at achieving priority goals based on p eer review and quality control.
whitepaper
The survey examines the views of Nobel Laureates on the impact the Internet and communication technology could have on education, innovation, and living standards in the next 20 years.
As such, Laureates believe that the Internet offers immense promise as a tool for improving access to, and the quality of, education.
The potential to reach people around the world is one of the great advantages of the Internetó69% of Laureates believe that the Internet will play a sizeable role in improving educational systems so that children and adults can get the best education regardless of their economic background or geographic location.

One of the key components of President Bush's education plan is expanding parental choice -- giving parents the ability to make choices to ensure that their children receive the best education possible.
The testing provisions in the President's plan will empower parents with data about the performance of their children's schools and the education their children are receiving.
More than 6,700 Schools Become Eligible for Immediate Public School Choice Under the conference agreement, parents with children in failing schools will also be given public school choice, including the right to choose a better-performing charter school, as soon as a school is identified as failing.

In 1988, Congress enacted the NASA National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program to address scientific and technological workforce needs and the national decline in scholastic achievement, especially in math and science.
In order to be provided with this education, students in elementary and secondary schools must be exposed to motivated, well-prepared individuals who are fully qualified to teach science, mathematics and technology education.
To encourage talented individuals to pursue studies leading to teaching certification in the sciences, mathematics and technology education, the VSGC established the Teacher Education Scholarship program to complement its existing science and engineering-based scholarships and fellowships.
Applicants should submit a plan of study outlining intended coursework for the remainder of their undergraduate or Master of Education degree program.

The report, which is the most substantial work of its kind, provides valuable practical guidance about how higher education institutions might respond to these challenges and opportunities.
It gives a comprehensive account of the virtual and corporate developments in learning which - along with the Internet - are sweeping the world.
In a world of 'spin' it is in the interests of new providers to emphasise potential and to massage reality, and obtaining data on actual student enrolments with the new providers is difficult.
Nonetheless, it is certainly the case that there has been an explosion of activity in corporate education, for-profit higher education, online delivery and university partnerships in the past five years.

Table 4 indicates that schools with many minority youngsters also tend to have slightly more crowded classrooms.
A third variable of interest is teacher salary.
Hypothesis 2---District Competence: Urban districts are less competent in identifying special-needs students.
Three of the four have a negative relationship with special education enrollment: the percentage of students in free-lunch programs, the crime rate, and the percentage of minorities in a district.
Lower special education enrollment appears to be more determined by the racial composition of the student body than by a district's wealth, school climate, or urbanization.
The correlation for African-Americans is almost the same as for Hispanics.

Because this topic is of great social and economical importance, there is a need in current civil engineering programs to provide more formal training in structural dynamics and earthquake hazard mitigation at the undergraduate level.
The University Consortium on Instructional Shake Tables was formed to integrate earthquake engineering into the undergraduate civil engineering curriculum.
The primary goal of the UCIST program is to develop a series of experiments that will be capable of providing undergraduate students with an understanding of structural dynamics, while being affordable for the institutions.
This goal will be achieved through the introduction of experiments in earthquake engineering throughout the civil engineering undergraduate curriculum.

Peer education typically involves training and supporting members of a given group to effect change among members of the same group.
Worldwide, peer education is one of the most widely used strategies to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
In order to gain a better understanding of the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS peer education programs, a review of published studies was conducted.
All of the studies cited in Table 1 found that peer education had a positive impact on STI or HIV incidence and/or risk behavior, or health status, thus providing evidence of its value for HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and support.
All participants recognized the need for compensation, given that most peer educators come from poor communities and have limited time to volunteer because of their home and work responsibilities.

Presented by the Chief Executive Officers of five of the world's largest non formal education organizations with the active support of the CEO of the International Award Association.
Elaine Hesse Steel, General Secretary, World YWCA (January 1987 - August 1997) The World YWCA is an international volunteer membership movement uniting some 25 million women working in 103 countries to achieve social justice imperatives by increasing the participation of women at all levels of society.
The authors of this statement strongly encourage all those who will shape educational policies for young people in the next millennium to accept that non formal education is an essential part of the educational process and to recognise the contribution that can be made by non formal education organisations.

One key element of the teaching experience is a business simulation where students create software companies and bid for a large scale development project.
Our experience indicates the immense value of such practical components in an IT oriented degree programme.
This study focuses on the implementation and the utilization of an education model in a programme to provide the participants with the qualifications necessary to follow their chosen career paths.
The IS courses give students an appreciation of how technology can be used to support the operations, transactions and decision making of modern organizations.
The model presented in Figure 1 can help to inform educators in the development and application of programmes, with an IT component, aimed at bridging the theoretical and practical divide in education.

Beginning on or after January 1, 2000, if you are an Illinois resident and the parent or legal guardian of a qualifying student, you may be eligible for an income tax credit of up to $500 for qualified education expenses paid at an Illinois elementary or secondary school.
Any amount paid for the purchase of an item that is not substantially consumed by the required assignments and activities of a lab course and that will remain the personal property of the student, parent or legal guardian at the end of the school year, is not considered a qualified education expense (e.g., payments made toward the purchase of a band instrument).
