Rural Education in the News
From this week's Google News Alert service...
Radio broadcast in rural education
Calcutta Telegraph - Calcutta, India
Children in Arki block, 60 km from the state capital, would soon get to learn primary English through radio broadcasts. Project Eetun (education in Mundari) is the first of its kind in the state and is aimed at providing quality education to children in primary and middle schools. Children in the block would now get a chance to learn English through fun and games, over radio broadcasts.
Make Rural Education Priority -- Ministers
AllAfrica.com - Africa
AFRICAN ministers of education have urged their governments to make education for rural people a top national priority. They also called for increased budgetary allocations and investments to narrow the urban - rural divide in performance. "There are huge disparities between rural and urban people, as far as access to education and the quality of education is concerned, despite progress made by most countries at national levels," the ministers said in a communiqué issued at the end of an education conference in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa recently.
Middle East experts call for increased funding for education
Daily Star - Lebanon - Beirut, Lebanon
Education experts from across the Middle East called for increased funding for what was identified as every country's most vital sector during the first day of the second Arab Gathering for Education at the Phoenicia Inter-Continental Hotel. Kicked off yesterday, the four-day conference has brought together experts in education from all the Arab countries for a debate on how to provide education for rural communities with specific needs. Addressing the gathered Arab officials, Saudi Crown Prince Khaled Faysal, the head of the Arab Thought organization, said: "We have to reconsider how proportional our financial investments are to the level of education we want to have."
India needs to train its rural teachers: Premji
Hindustan Times - India
Teachers in rural India need proper training to give the right education to children and help the country become a knowledge hub, Azim Premji, chairman of software major Wipro, said in New Delhi on Wednesday. Participating in a seminar on "Opportunities for India in the Knowledge Economy" organised by the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, Premji said the major challenge for education in rural India was the lack of well-trained teachers.
Education can break vicious poverty cycle
Xinhua - China
Statistics, they say, conceal more than they reveal. Not always, though. On September 8, the International Literacy Day, China announced it still has 85 million illiterate people. Most of them are clustered in the country's less developed rural areas of the landlocked western regions. Earlier, Liu Xiaoyun, a scholar with China Agricultural University, disclosed that there are the same number of people in China still in the grip of poverty. Again, they are rural residents or migrant "floating" groups from rural areas.

Call for Proposed Chapters for a Book: Effective Practice of Adult-Youth Engagement in Social and Environmental Justice
From: "Virginia Stead"
Call for Proposed Chapters for a Book on:
Effective Practice of Adult-Youth Engagement in Social and Environmental Justice
It is truly difficult to make a democracy...
It is not what I say that says I am a democrat,
that I am not racist or machista,
but what I do
Paulo Freire (1998, p. 67)
Focus
This book will propose that youth and adults should work together, and learn from and with each other to develop a common vision of social and environmental justice, and be engaged as part of a community working toward that vision. Capacity building in social and environmental issues in education should not only focus on youth and youth leadership, but also on the ability to move beyond the “adult as expert” model of interactions to develop collaborative relationships between adults and youth. This book will include chapters that examine examples of effective practice, address issues of teacher-student or adult-youth relationships, and explore how practice can either promote or limit democratic and dialogic partnerships. Drawing from international perspectives, it is hoped this book will introduce a wide variety of theoretical and practical approaches for understanding effective practice in developing youth leadership in social and environmental justice, while offering a place for sharing experiences that create comfort and insights for adults and youth to explore and expand their engagement with community activism.
We are looking for international experiences, narratives, theoretical approaches and encourage alternative forms of expression, such as poetic work. Submissions should address one of the following objectives and/or relate to one of the proposed themes.
1. To document effective practices of adult-youth engagement in democratic decision-making using a framework of dialogic leadership.
2. To develop strong theoretical frameworks for adult participation with youth in bringing about democratic changes in communities.
3. To promote dialogue amongst practitioners working with youth.
4. To create spaces for adults to see possibilities, potential and implications of moving beyond transmission model of teaching about social and environmental justice issues.
5. To create comfort for educators to explore how to bring social and environmental justice into everyday practice working with youth in ways that encourage joint learning.
Proposed themes
1. Describing and analyzing projects of effective adult and youth engagement in social and environmental justice issues.
2. Examining experiences of youth leadership and/or youth-adult partnerships in pedagogical situations that seek to implement collective action.
3. Moving beyond transmission model for social and environmental justice issues and implications for pedagogy. Seeking examples of social and/or environmental justice-focused youth projects involving leadership and development.
4. Examining the multifaceted responsibilities of adults in supporting youth actively engaging in addressing and building their communities.
5. Investigating how we as educators, theoretically and practically, work with youth to recreate more dialogical and democratic forms of pedagogy and community engagement.
6. Asking what conscious and unconscious obstacles and possibilities individuals and systems create that inhibit and promote the engagement of social justice pedagogy.
7. Exploring examples, principles and values, skills and competencies, action-oriented methods, and facilitative relationships that generate motivation for participation, foster multi-generational partnerships and encourage democratic youth leadership.
Potential readership
Adults working with youth in school, school programs, and community settings; people working with at risk youth and youth in care; community youth leadership programs; people in social justice work with youth. The book has potential as a text or reference book in teacher education, social work, youth care, and human justice programs.
Timeline
Editorial Team

Rural Education in the news this week...
From my Google Alert service...
Down on the farm
Port Huron Times Herald - Port Huron, MI, USA
Food doesn't just appear on kitchen tables, as dozens of fourth-graders learned during the annual Rural Education Day last week. "This day is dedicated to show all the children how important agriculture is to all of our communities and to all of us," director Mary Nichol said. Every fourth-grade class in Sanilac County - 26 in all - toured several hands-on stations at the 4-H Fairgrounds Sept. 14 and learned everything from how honey is made to how tractors work.
Writing requirement resisted
Billings Gazette - MT, USA
Superintendent of Public Instruction Linda McCulloch and some other state education leaders on Wednesday united against a proposal before the Board of Regents to require most students to pass a writing proficiency test to be admitted to Montana's four-year public colleges. Under the proposal, students would have to pass any one of five writing-proficiency tests - some nationally standardized tests and one Montana-developed one - to gain admission to the state's four-year public colleges, with some exceptions. However, they could be provisionally admitted to any of the six colleges until they pass the test or take a writing course to improve their skills.
In Hindi belt, elementary education will soon go hi-tech
Indian Express - New Delhi, India
Elementary education in the country is set to go hi-tech. A pilot project approved by the HRD Ministry today will link nearly 1,000 schools in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh through EDUSAT, the exclusive education satellite. The project will take off on November 19, the birth anniversary of former prime minister Indira Gandhi.
Task force gets look at rural higher education
Benson News Sun - Benson, AZ, USA
Earlier this month, Cochise College hosted a legislative hearing of the Ad Hoc Task Force on Higher Education. Task force co-chairs Rep. Laura Knaperek, R-Dist. 17, and Sen. Linda Gray, R-Dist. 10, are holding similar hearings throughout the state with the purpose of receiving input on higher education reform and soliciting suggestions to improve the system. The hearing included a panel of local residents and task force member Rep. Ted Downing, D-Dist. 28. We also were joined by our own legislative representatives - Rep. Manny Alvarez, D-Dist. 25; Rep. Jennifer Burns, R-Dist. 25; and Rep. Marian McClure, R-Dist. 30. Representing the Governor's Office, Deborah Rader presented a short synopsis of the Governor's P-20 Task Force, which is addressing issues of education reform.
Elementary education will soon be hi-tech in north India

Elementary education in the country is set to go hi-tech. A pilot project approved by the HRD Ministry today will link nearly 1,000 schools in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh through EDUSAT, the exclusive education satellite. Launched on September 20, 2004, EDUSAT has enhanced distance education in the country, especially in medical, technical and higher education streams. In parts of Kerala and Karnataka, it has also been used to link rural schools.

Addis Conference Calls On Govts to Prioritize Rural Education
AllAfrica.com - Africa
A three day Ministerial conference on rural education ended in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Friday, with participants calling on governments to prioritise Education for All to promote education for rural people. In a communiqué issued at the end of the conference, African Ministers of Education and Agriculture asked governments to improve on Education for All and rural development policies as a means of ensuring that the education priority is reflected.
Rural education day is Wednesday
Port Huron Times Herald - Port Huron, MI, USA
SANDUSKY- Sanilac County fourth-graders will attend the annual Rural Education Day on Wednesday at the 4-H fairgrounds. The event is sponsored by the Sanilac County Farm Bureau and Michigan State University Extension. It gives students the opportunity to learn about rural areas and how agriculture affects their communities.
African countries pledge to improve rural education
Guardian Unlimited - UK
Officials from 11 African countries today pledged to make education in rural areas a top priority in their efforts to meet UN targets to eradicate poverty. The decision was taken by ministers of education, agriculture, fisheries and rural development at the end of a three-day conference in Ethiopia.
African Ministers Converge in Ethiopia to Discuss Rural Education
AllAfrica.com - Africa
A three-day ministerial conference is converging at the Hilton Hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to discuss education for rural people. The meeting which brings together African Ministers of Education and Agriculture is reviewing policies for education and skills formation set forth in national EFA plans and poverty reduction strategies. The ministers are also discussing appropriate means of improving analysis of the educational contexts and needs of rural dwellers. They are using this chance to discuss the most appropriate policies and effective strategies for increasing access to education for groups that are difficult to reach: working children, isolated populations, nomadic peoples, refugees and displaced persons, the poor and other vulnerable groups such as people living with HIV/Aids.
Official Reaffirms Gov't Commitment to Foster Rural Education
AllAfrica.com - Africa
Education Vice Minister Wondwossen Kiflu said that the Ethiopian government is committed to foster education in the rural areas where the majority of the Ethiopian population lives to tackle poverty. Opening "Regional Capacity Building Seminar on Education for Rural People in Africa" at the Addis Ababa Hilton yesterday, Wondwossen also said that 13 new universities will be established across the country in the coming five years that would benefit many youths coming from rural areas to join higher education institutions.
Asphalt net covers China's west
Asia Times Online - Kowloon, Hong Kong
Five years after starting its "go west" campaign to develop its western region, China's road construction in these strategic areas has reached a gigantic scale. Last month, the Yunnan (ATol map of Yunnan) provincial government announced the completion of a central section of the Kunming-Laos highway, a road that will eventually link Yunnan, in southwest China, to Thailand. Earlier this year, also in Yunnan, the new Kunming-Xiaguan highway was opened; this was the first section of the improved Yunnan-Tibet highway (ATol map of Tibet). China intends to complete paving and upgrading the road all the way to Lhasa. The Sichuan-Tibet highway is also underway (ATol map of Sichuan), creating great engineering challenges as workers upgrade a road on some of the world's highest and most difficult terrain.
Keeping Up with the Races
Richmond.com - Richmond, VA, USA
It's peak race season, and with only eight weeks until Election Day, now we will start to focus on who stands for what. This week's issue: education. We'll put the political jargon aside and examine who has plans to implement and who has a history to stand on.
Rural schools get technology boost
Manawatu Standard - Manawatu, New Zealand
When Tokomaru School students want something off the internet from now on, school principal Nick Beamsley won't have to whip home and get it through his own computer. Tokomaru is among 300 small rural schools nationwide that will benefit from a new $11 million-funding deal to beef up computer learning in rural schools, announced recently by Education Minister Trevor Mallard. Otaki MP Darren Hughes nipped up to Tokomaru last Friday to spread the word. Mr Beamsley said it was great news for the 74 students at Tokomaru School. They would now be able to use 21st-century technology to help learning.

Rural Education in the News
Taken from the Google News Alert service...
Consolidation means fewer black school board members
Arkansas Times - Little Rock, AR, USA
The state-required consolidation of small Arkansas schools has resulted in a substantial decrease in the number of black school board members in those areas where the consolidations occurred, as well as a reduction in the number of black administrators, according to a study by a group supportive of small schools. State officials didn’t challenge the study’s findings, but said the purpose of consolidation was to help students, not preserve seats for minority members of school boards or jobs for administrators.
Group raising funds for poor schools
The State - Columbia, SC, USA
A high-profile group of S.C. citizen-activists is making plans to secure more money for dilapidated schools in the state’s poor school districts. The group plans to act regardless of whether a circuit judge orders the S.C. General Assembly to spend more money on the poor schools, most of them rural.

Li made the comments in Beijing at a workshop on gender and poverty in China.

Two Otago projects aimed at supporting gifted and talented learners in our region are to gain up to $411,200 in new government funding.

Free schooling is crucial for future
China Daily - China
For a vast country like China, the future will undoubtedly hinge on balanced development. This is not only in economic terms, but, more importantly, a balance demographically. It is in this sense that we applaud the promise from the central educational authorities that during the 2006-10 period, China will start to adopt a system of free nine-year compulsory education for the country's rural children.

In Kwara, you either shape up or chip out (2)
Daily Independent - Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria
The Emir of Tsonga, Dr. Halilu Yahya is in full support of the project. If the traditional ruler of the community, who represents his people, is pleased about the project, and he has not been kicked out from his domain like it was done in Babaloma when the people were against their traditional ruler, all we have to do is support Saraki's move to put commercial farming in place in Kwara State. The presence of Zimbabwean farmers had brought a Chinese delegation to Ilorin, Tuesday, August 9, 2005 on a three-day fact-finding mission on importation of cassava chips and allied products from Nigeria. The visit of the delegation was facilitated by Kwara indigenes in China, who have been in the vanguard of mobilising prospective Chinese investors to the state. Commercial farming would facilitate the mass production of cassava in Kwara State.
