According to Anderson and Holt-Reynolds (1995), student teachers are not aware of their values and beliefs and their impact on teacher’s practice. On reflection, I realized that I myself have evolved within the last one year and my belief about teaching children has changed to working with children. I have discarded my naïve beliefs (Brownlee, et al., 2000), and have developed my early childhood education philosophy on the theories and philosophies I have studied so far. I shall critically…

In September 1947, the MOE announced that it would introduce a textbook screening system in 1948. This order also claimed the halt of the publication of state-authored textbooks.

In 1952, new non-governmental history textbooks published by seven different presses started to enter Japanese middle schools. The…

Students from rural areas in China lag far behind their urban peers in terms of both the quantity and quality of education received. Rural students have low levels of educational attainment and persistently drop out of school across all post-primary levels of schooling (Liu et al., 2009; Yi et al., 2012; Shi et al., 2015). A series of field studies show that the dropout rate of rural junior high students ranges from 18 to 31 percent across a number of provinces (Wang et al., 2015; Li et al.,…

Regulatory Disasters and Response Regulatory frameworks sometimes fail. It’s a fact. Life, its participants, and the society we create in a state is far too complex for laws and regulations to work or to be conducted as intended every time. But by no means does this permit the failure of regimes. Quite the opposite; for the acceptance of failure brings with it a realisation to implement laws and regulations with the utmost care, and to learn from past mistakes- and there has been huge ones.…

They each kissed Mrs. Shoemaker goodnight on their way out and made their way down the hallway to their room, and into bed.

Adoption Imagine living in a world where your parents are already gone or your kids never existed! Many people are living in this miserable world. An official spokesman for the United Nations stated: "In less than five years, there will be more than 50 million orphans in just 16 of Africa's 53 countries¨ ( “Africa's Orphan Crisis Worsens”). According to a statistic by ASRM, “1.5 million women in the U.S., almost 6%, are infertile” (“Quick Facts About Infertility”). How would all these kids…

Lin Moe found that ODA has a significant positive relationship with human development. Not only ODA, FDI and real GDP have the same relationships with human development. Besides, this study also showed that there still have gaps in the human development dimensions:…

Children are gifts and our future. The child is considered tapu and represents the atua and the tipuna. This concept of the child being special requires that the child be treated with great consideration. One important consideration that needs to be look upon is the quality of education and care they receive during their early years. The early years are the most crucial years for child development (Caroll-Lind & Angus, 2011). The increasing number of mothers joining the labour force,…
