Career plans of final-year South African student teachers: migration to ‘greener pastures’?     

J. J. R. de Villiers 《Africa Education Review》2017,14(3-4):212-229

Teacher loss due to migration is a global phenomenon that impacts both developed and developing nations the world over. The aim of this study was to find out about the career plans of final-year South African student teachers. A group of final-year Bachelor of Education student teachers from a South African university responded to a questionnaire on intra- and intercontinental migration. The responses were analysed quantitatively and/or qualitatively. The findings showed that 79% of the students indicated that they would be teaching in South Africa, 8% were planning to teach in another country, while 8% were undecided. More than a third of the students (38%) said that they would like to teach in another country in five years’ time. Just more than a quarter of the students (27%) preferred Australia as a destination country. The student teachers’ most important motive to teach in a foreign country was the opportunity to travel, followed by earning a higher salary, and professional development. The student teachers indicated that their most important migration needs before leaving South Africa were information about health care, accommodation, and banking assistance.  相似文献   

Governing good,bad and ugly workplaces? Explaining the paradox of state-steered voluntarism in New Labour’s Skills Strategy     

Hannah Durrant 《Journal of Education & Work》2016,29(4):373-401

The post-compulsory education and training system in the UK has long been defined as an archetypical voluntarist model. Yet, with the election of a New Labour government in 1997, the relationship between the state as supply-side provider of skills and employers as the demanders of skills began to subtly change. An additional rhetoric emerged in skills policy that suggested a role for the state to shape higher skills demands. This instigated a move towards what is here defined by the oxymoron ‘state-steered voluntarism’; an approach to the governance of skills which aimed to deliver both a demand-led skills system and a system to lead demand. Drawing on policy documents and interviews with key policy-makers, this article offers an interpretive analysis of New Labour’s ideas about the nature of workplaces, and the role of the state and skills providers in response, that explains the existence of policy paradox. We find that New Labour articulated three distinct strategies for governing skills, depending on whether workplaces were perceived to have ‘good’, ‘bad’, or frankly ‘ugly’ skills aspirations. However, whilst this threefold skills strategy seemingly served the purpose of containing multiple policy objectives and creating a graded role for state action, it was also prone to being used selectively by those with vested interests in UK skills policy (i.e. the representatives of businesses and employers and the representatives of employees and learners).  相似文献

杨旭超  蔺哲 《山西财经大学学报(高等教育版)》2007,(4):39-42

我国高等教育普遍存在的问题是传统的高等教育价值观、教学观仍处于统治性地位,不是以学生为本,而是以知识、以课本为本,致力于向学生灌输知识,而较少考虑学生的心理素质与内在要求。在大众化高等教育阶段,必须树立新的教育服务理念,使高校的各项工作形成一种服务链,将优质的教育服务提供给受教育者。  相似文献   

有效终身学习体系的组织构架探究 ——基于供给侧综合改革视角     

朱燕菲  周蔚 《成人教育》2019,39(3):1-6

终身学习特征、内容和方式的转变对终身学习体系的构建提出了更高的要求。基于供给侧综合改革理念,构建有效的终身学习体系须重塑供给主体的主要功能和激发需求主体的"学习能量"。从供给主体看,要不断强化政府的导向功能,着力终身学习政策供给;呼吁学校从封闭到开放,突出终身学习资源供给;逐步扩大社区的影响范围,保障终身学习场地供给。从需求主体看,要注重学习者的政策需求,实现终身学习法制化;注重学习者的资源需求,完善学习型组织和系统;保障学习者的空间需求,注重共享学习模式。在双主体完善的基础上,相互衔接、纵横沟通的有效终身学习体系组织架构才具有成为现实的可能。  相似文献
