The structuring of diversity programmes at science councils in South Africa-Case Studies-Mintek

Singh, Viloshnee January 2007 (has links)
The peaceful transition from apartheid to a democratised society is one of South Africa’s most impressive achievements. The attainment of these achievements has placed enormous pressure on the country to “shift to a higher gear”, i.e. increasing the number of players who contribute to the economic development of the country, thus building on its’ political success (Thomas, 1996). The ability to become competitive in the global economy will be determined by the capacity to increase the pool of suitably qualified people and the willingness to accept, value and empower the human talent of all South Africans.

EXCEPTIONAL CASES OF WHITE ETHNIC INCLUSION IN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICY SINCE 1970

Kirillova, Liana 01 May 2016 (has links)
This study demonstrates the internal controversy of the white ethnic revival toward the affirmative action policy – white ethnic groups both wished to be included in the categories of this policy and vigorously opposed it. Subsequently, they failed to be proclaimed a designated minority. The study also shows that striving to gain social and economic stability, white ethnic groups used to conform to the Anglo-Saxon standards; however, beginning in the 1970s, ethnic association with whites was perceived hindward. Despite the overall failure of the white ethnic movement, two groups were able to succeed and gain recognition of a designated minority – namely, Italian Americans in CUNY and Hasidic Jews in the MBDA. Both of these cases present examples of religious bigotry excluding groups from enjoying the social benefits. These are unique cases, as traditionally religious discrimination was pushed off the civil rights agenda. For this reason, in their attempts to pursue the “minority” status, both Italian Americans and Hasidic Jews did not emphasize their religion as the main reason for their disadvantaged position. On the contrary, they stressed still-existing prejudice and stereotypes about their ethnicity (Italian Americans) and non-traditional way of life (Hasidic Jews) that served the main reason of their deprived and “socially disadvantaged” status. Moreover, these cases present the irony of the white ethnic revival: while the major current of Italian American and Jewish American civil rights activists argued against affirmative action, Italian American faculty at CUNY and Hasidic Jews did otherwise.

MEDICAL SCHOOL ADMISSION POLICY ANALYSIS: SUCCESS IN INCREASING AFRICAN AMERICANS IN MATRICULANT CLASSES

Jones, Kathleen Ann 01 December 2016 (has links)
The ranks of the medical profession have typically been filled by Anglo-Saxon males. A slow change in attitude appears to be leading toward a desire to increase diversity in the medical profession. Previous attempts to allow for increased representation of those underrepresented in medicine failed due to legal challenges. The Association of American Medical Colleges, an organization which oversees medical education, residency training, and research of both American and Canadian allopathic medical schools, has introduced Holistic Review as a method for creating a diverse population in a medical school class; this study investigates the way medical schools are incorporating these strategies into their medical school admissions policies and how effective these policies are in increasing diversity in medical school classes. The implication encourage admissions committees to modify the importance of certain selection criteria in an ongoing effort to increase diversity in their medical school classes.

O acesso de estudantes negros ao ensino superior e ao ensino técnico ofertado pelo Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica (CEFET MG) Campus Araxá representa um importante passo para a afirmação de direitos e equidade social de um público historicamente excluído desse espaço. O objetivo da presente dissertação é analisar o acesso de estudantes que se autodeclararam pretos ou pardos e se inscreveram através da reserva de vagas, interpretar o perfil socioeconômico e cultural desses estudantes e analisar quais são as experiências, expectativas e percepções deles acerca das Políticas de Ações Afirmativas. Optamos por desenvolver um estudo quantitativo e qualitativo, através da pesquisa de campo. O estudo estrutura-se a partir de marcos importantes da história do negro no Brasil desde a colonização e sua importante participação para o crescimento social e econômico do país. Aborda uma sucinta reflexão sobre trabalho e educação e faz uma análise do processo de instituição das escolas técnicas no Brasil até o surgimento do CEFET MG e da implantação da Lei 12.711/12, através da qual foi feita a análise, objeto desse estudo. Os resultados da pesquisa nos mostraram que a reserva de vagas nem sempre representa um facilitador da entrada desse estudante na Instituição. Entretanto, a discussão sobre as cotas e a divulgação desse meio de acesso pode se constituir como um facilitador, à medida que anuncia uma possibilidade de ingresso a um espaço antes visto como algo inatingível. / The establishment of reserves for openings in Education Federal Institutions as Affirmative Action Policy is presented as an important mechanism in the struggle of the black population for racial equality in Brazil. The access of black students to higher education and technical education offered by the Federal Technological Education Centre - CEFET MG Araxá Campus represents an important step towards the affirmation of rights and social equity of a public historically excluded from this space. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the access of students who declared themselves black or brown and signed up through the waves of reservation, interpret the socioeconomic and cultural profile of the students and consider what experiences are expectations and their perceptions about the Action Policies affirmative. We chose to develop a quantitative and qualitative study through field research. The study is structured from important landmarks in the history of black people in Brazil since colonization and its important contribution to the social and economic growth. Discusses a brief reflection on work and education and analyzes the institution process of technical schools in Brazil until the emergence of CEFET MG and the implementation of Law 12,711 / 12, by which the analysis was done, the object of this study. The survey results showed us that waves of booking is not always a facilitating the entrance of that student in the institution. However, the discussion about quotas and dissemination of the means of access may be as a facilitator, as it announces a possibility of entering a space before seen as unattainable.
