Educational Reform in Post-Accord Palestine: A synthesis of Palestinian perspectives

Education is central to the preservation and success of any society, including that of the Palestinians. With the signing of the Peace Accords in 1993, Palestinians now have their first opportunity in nearly 500 years to control and develop their own educational system, a system that will better meet the needs of the Palestinians than those nations who have controlled the Palestinians for so many years. With this singular opportunity, the questions now becomes one of determining the nature of this educational system, one uniquely fitted to preserve and promote Palestinian society. The purpose of this study was to examine ideas from Palestinians about what they thought their educational system should be and what core values should inform its creation and development. Through information gathered in semi-structured interviews, a portrait begins to emerge about what Palestinians think their schools and educational processes should look like, what barriers present themselves to the realization of their ideas, and what the solutions may be to remove these barriers.     

Educational counselling in Mexico: Developments and perspectives

Conclusion It is necessary to realize the limitations of counselling services in Mexico. In spite of all the efforts taken, the academic preparation of counsellors is not strong enough. As has been mentioned, 50% are psychologists or pedagogues, at best, and the rest, who are not specifically prepared for counselling, are constantly moving away from the helping services. There seems to be little progress. On the other hand, we hope that counselling and the counsellors, once services have been established, might some day be able to resolve those complex problems which the educational system has not been able to resolve or diminish with its own traditional resources, especially problems like school dropout, the correct choice of vocational and academic studies, the distribution of students to the various branches and levels of the educational system in accordance with the actual needs of the country, and a whole series of other tasks, which may fail in an area of myth or may really be related to the possibilities of the discipline. Therefore, it is necessary to set the limits of counsellors' tasks and to define the counsellor's role more clearly in the near future, in order to strengthen the discipline on behalf of our future students.Knowing, understanding and evaluating the relationship that now exists between the counselling tasks of counsellors, the educational Practice and the national and international policy, shall facilitate the future implementation of more solid and feasible programmes. For the time being, having a clear view of what we can do (and not only justifying things we cannot accomplish) should help our students to use our counselling services with higher benefits.

Educational experiences of immigrant students from the former Soviet Union: a case study of an ethnic school in Toronto

This paper explores the academic and psychosocial outcomes of immigrant students from the former Soviet Union (FSU) in an ethnic school in Toronto. Based on interviews with the principal, teachers, students and parents, together with questionnaire responses, the paper describes school programmes and practices that contribute to FSU immigrant students' high academic achievement, within the categories of curriculum, pedagogy, discipline policy and teacher–student relationships. The creation of this ethnic school suggests that Canada's educational system has not met the needs of the immigrant group. The paper seeks to further understanding of educating FSU immigrant students, and discusses the implications of ethnic schools for educating children in a multicultural society.     

论苏联教育理论对中国教育的影响

学习苏联教育经验曾经是新中国成立初期的教育方针,对我国教育有着深远的影响。苏联教育经验在中国的传播主要表现为:翻译苏联教育的理论著作和教材,邀请苏联专家担任教育部顾问、学校的顾问和教师,按照苏联的教育模式建立新型学校,派遣留学生到苏联学习,等等。苏联教育理论认为教育是上层建筑的一部分,强调教育的阶级性和党性原则,重视教育、教学、教养在共产主义教育中的作用,重视系统知识的传授,强调教师的主导作用,等等。苏联教育的基本观念、教育制度、教学模式以至教学方法被全盘接受,完成了本土化,而且有所发展,并未因为来自左的方面的批判而有所改变。中国现在的教育传统,除了继承了中国传统的内核外.还融入了苏联教育的传统。

教育券:求解教育的公平和效率

教育公平是社会公平价值在教育领域的延伸和体现,是构建和谐社会的重要组成部分.教育券制度的出现反映了国家对教育公平的不懈追求.文章认为,教育券制度在我国的兴起有其存在的合理性:公共选择理论是教育券政策的理论基础,教育投资总量不足和教育资源分配不均衡是教育券产生的潜在动因、普通民众对教育公平的终极追求是教育券产生的直接推动力.教育券的产生是对现行教育制度的拷问、质疑,也是对教育公平和效率的求解.
