The delivered and in action, spaces which are characterised remaining three are more concerned with the way that by sharing, questioning, challenging and problem-solving. Initiatives on Education for Sustainable Development However it is made clear that the doorways are In whatever way sustainable development and ESD are interconnected and policy or activity via any one doorway, conceptualised, the exigencies of unsustainable or in any of the three strands of campus, community and development have had and continue to have an impact curriculum, will inevitably connect with policy and action in 40 Design and Technology Education: An International Journal Equally no doorway is exclusively The roots of STEM lie in concern about skills shortages in environmental; decisions on purchase of food, for example, the UK.

It starts with sustainable development can be embedded into whole- the words: school management practices as well as providing practical guidance to help schools operate in a more sustainable The nations that can thrive in a highly competitive global way. Or is it just opportunity. These are the sources of the new prosperity another top-down curriculum for teachers to deliver? Winter p. She engineers and technologists.

The report called for a step does, however, call for a search for spaces in teacher change in the quality of teachers, better science results at education and across the school curricula in which there Key Stage 4 for pupils aged 14 years and a greater can be a critical and deconstructive questioning of take-up of science, engineering and technology subjects sustainable development and ESD.

Huckle is Post Here the sustainable development and ESD. But there delivery for every school, college, learning provider and is, according to Huckle, little evidence that this will reveal learner.

They recommended a high-level STEM strategy and challenge the interests and policies that make it group and a National STEM Director to drive these difficult for schools to be truly sustainable in the first place.

The Leitch Report gave further impetus to this at the end of , arguing that From examining official documents and summarising the Britain was on a road to mediocrity unless there was a conclusions of the authors above, one can conclude that massive and co-ordinated effort to meet skills shortages there are broadly two basic approaches to ESD: teaching Leitch, It will be Initially the focus was on science, engineering and argued below that new opportunities afforded by the technology — it was called SET.

It was further observed by that effective way. But STEM as an educational of action. This in turn led to the STEM programme and in concept is problematic. There is little consensus as to what particular to the STEM Framework National Science it is, how it can be taught in schools, whether it needs to Learning Centre, a. In it there are 11 Action be taught as a discrete subject or whether it should be an Programmes covering everything from teacher recruitment approach to teaching the component subjects, what and in-service training also known as Continuing progression in STEM education is, and how STEM learning Professional Development or CPD to enriching the can be assessed.

Some people define any activity that curriculum in the STEM subjects, careers guidance and involves any of science, technology, engineering or developing national, regional and local infrastructures to mathematics as a STEM activity; others argue that intrinsic build capacity. A parallel publication to this important to the concept is some linking of two or more of the policy document was sent to all schools in National component areas of learning, and that real STEM must be Science Learning Centre, b.

This urges schools to more than the sum of its parts. National Science Learning Centre b:3 As well as the purpose of STEM being contested skills shortages versus a broad educational entitlement , there is The payoff for schools is described in terms of increased also debate about the scope of STEM. Some people argue motivation and rising standards, an enhanced profile in the that any activity in one or more of the disciplines of RESEARCH community and one which will help teacher recruitment science, technology, engineering or mathematics can be and retention; it goes beyond just policy to address skills counted as a STEM activity.

As mentioned above the DCSF shortages. An alternative perspective is to concern is skills shortages to debate the STEM agenda, a see STEM activities as the bringing together of learning in new question has emerged. This that promotes transfer of learning. For these people STEM is a problematic area. Launching out of their subject-based limitations into creative inter- a three year STEM campaign in early they explained disciplinarity. Here science and maths Information, The website that underpins this support and inform the development of technology and campaign is called Science and Maths.

In contrast to the presumption that STEM It is noteworthy that despite the huge amounts of money education for all justified by a national skills shortage, one that have been spent on promoting STEM, the problematic might even ask whether it is morally justified to expose all nature of what STEM is, and the lack of consensus as to what learners to STEM if only a few of them are going on to are the desirable learning outcomes of STEM activity, at the STEM-based careers.

Millar et al argue that this is time of writing this area has been little researched. None the unacceptable social engineering on a grand scale. There is less, the importance being given to STEM at a national level an alternative rationale for STEM learning — that is has an does suggest that there is an opportunity here to be seized intrinsic educational value and therefore is deserving of a by those teachers who want to develop a critical approach to place in general education.

Education about sustainability is a specific curriculum reform is the emergence of the PLTS agenda. This is elaborated under six groups of skills three of the cross-curricular dimensions that all schools are which together with the functional skills of English, maths encouraged to support. Finally it should be noticed that and ICT, will enable young people to enter work and adult the new diplomas for learners aged are built life as confident and capable individuals who can make a around the PLTS agenda.

The three that relate most positive contribution to society. Through the PLTS agenda immediately to design and technology and engineering — teachers are asked to help their students to develop as Manufacturing with Product Design, Construction and the independent enquirers, creative thinkers, reflective learners, Built Environment, and Engineering itself — all demand team workers, self-managers and effective participators.

Emphasis is given to developing reflective well-being. It builds on the five outcomes of Every Child practice, to problem-solving, to self managed project work Matters, which are to be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and and the encouragement of different modes of thinking and achieve, make a positive contribution, and achieve the meta-cognitive skills to move consciously between economic wellbeing.

A third homework clubs and study support, sport at least two reason why design and technology might be a vehicle for hours a week beyond the school day for those who want radical curriculum reform is that discussion of values issues it , music tuition, dance and drama, arts and crafts, in general, and sustainable development in particular, are special interest clubs such as chess and first aid courses, accepted already as part of the subject content.

It can also be seen in curriculum initiatives such as p. Technology and The Royal Academy of Engineering, , and the wide range of sustainable design activities 3. It has been argued above that teachers and websites for the Sustainable Technology Education Project teacher educators might occupy some of the emerging Practical Action, and the Sustainable Design Award spaces q.

The new National Curriculum for learners aged development. Equally there are opportunities around food, to do so. Crucially this will involve an exploration of values purchasing, waste, transport, use of water. Almost certainly, blurring the boundaries will be painful. The flexibility offered by the new Key Stage 3 curriculum and the project-based learning in the diploma mean that References sustainability-inspired STEM projects, rooted in the school Bonnet, M Chapter 9.

In general, the above studies have approached and focused on solving a number of issues related to the rights and policies of migrant workers Le Van Toan This rate among non-migrants is 5. Economic hardship is the main reason why children of migrants do not go to school. In UN Migration also has an in-depth study, showing the lack of access to resources of migrants.

Accordingly, because domestic migrants are not registered to reside in their localities, they may be excluded from national surveys, which leads to a lack of urgent information about their needs, and access to educational services for children. In another approach, Prof.

Huynh Van Son, who has conducted studies on education in industrial zones, said the lack of facilities, the rapid increase of the school-age population in some urban areas. There are migrants. Oxfarm through the actual survey showed: Only Only 7. Most of the children going to kindergartens and kindergartens are in private kindergartens, kindergartens, or home-based child care groups.

There are many reasons that lead to many migrant children not going to school, but the main reason is "do not have adequate documents so they can't apply to school", children "do not study so they do not want to study, voluntarily leave school". This study focuses on women with children under 6 years old in industrial zones and export processing zones in Ho Chi Minh City.

In-depth interview The study conducted 14 in-depth interviews. In-depth interviews are representatives of parties involved in the process of helping workers in general and female migrant workers with children under 6 years of age in general access education and health services directly or indirectly. Group discussion The study conducted 02 focus group discussions, the first focused to discuss migrant workers and another focus group discussion with representatives of stakeholders involved in helping female migrant workers with children under 6 years of age access services.

Each group discusses from 12 to 15 participants. The number of questionnaires is The sample structure includes the following criteria: age, gender, area of origin, area of residence, specifically as follows: Table 2. The access channels with the lowest rate are company unions and industrial park worker support centers the same rate is 1.

This result shows that the relationship and information exchange between migrant workers and agencies, organizations that directly support workers such as trade unions and support centers for industrial park workers have not yet created a strong connection and necessary. Regarding specific policies such as tuition fee-free or reduction, scholarships, support for study expenses, school supplies, etc.

The survey results are as below: Chart 3. Thus, up to The education of children of migrant families outside the public education system will create considerable financial pressure on the majority of migrant workers with low and middle incomes.

Cases of ineligibility to access educational services in public schools are due to lack of permanent residence, or insufficient residency-related documents, accounting for However, the local government said that paperwork such as household registration or long-term temporary residence registration is not a reason to prevent children of migrant workers from accessing education. There are no cases where KT3 is required, but the registration of temporary residence is required to make records for children to go to school.

Sometimes, families who cannot register for temporary residence have to try to make temporary residence registrations for their children to go to school and then add documents later. KT3 is for long- term temporary residents. Next, the payment of study costs also greatly affects the decision of where to study. According to In addition, 9. Typically, at the preschool and kindergarten levels, schools are usually concentrated in densely populated areas.

Besides, the number of public schools is very small in industrial zones and export processing zones. This contributes to the fact that migrant workers have to send their children to non-public schools if they do not want to go far. According to a report by the Department for Economic Zones Management Ministry of Planning and Investment , by the end of June , there were industrial zones established in the whole country.

Among them, industrial zones have been put into operation with a total of 3. Although the Government has the policy to develop schools in areas with a large number of migrant workers, the process of building schools is still very limited. Take the preschool level as an example. There are only 16 schools in 12 industrial zones and export processing zones out of a total of 18 industrial zones and export processing zones in the city.

These schools can only accept nearly children of workers. As such, migrant workers are forced to look to non-public educational institutions to send their children. Moreover, the workers working in these industrial zones and export processing zones are mainly migrant workers from other provinces and cities.

Most households have the need to take care of their children from 6 months old during and outside of office hours. Most of these public preschools do not accept children under 12 months of age.
