Teisinio švietimo reikšmė pabrėžiama įvairiuose dokumentuose, edukacinėje literatūroje. Tai “procesas, per kurį asmenims sudaromos galimybės įgyti žinių ir gebėjimų, padedančių tinkamai naudotis savo teisėmis ir laisvėmis teisinėje sistemoje, ginti savo teises ir vykdyti pareigas”. Visuomenės teisinio švietimo problemą bandoma spręsti įvairiais būdais ir metodais. Europos Komisija aktyviai prisideda prie jaunimo teisinio švietimo, organizuodama įvairią veiklą (paskelbtas komunikatas dėl Europos Sąjungos vaiko teisių strategijos kūrimo, organizuojami konkursai ir pan.) visose Europos Sąjungos valstybėse. Lietuvos Respublikos Vyriausybė, Teisingumo ministerija ir kitos institucijos yra įsipareigojusios gerinti visuomenės teisinį švietimą, nuolat priimdamos ir patvirtindamos įvairias visuomenės teisinio švietimo programas, kurių vienas iš tikslų yra kiekvienam moksleiviui suteikti “esminių teisinių žinių apie šeimą, darbo santykius ir santykius su valdžios institucijomis” [8]. Kaip nurodoma 2009 m. Nevyriausybinių organizacijų plėtros koncepcijos projekte, „siekiant įveikti mažėjantį visuomenės pilietinį aktyvumą, bei augantį nusivylimą dėl galimybės daryti įtaką valstybės institucijų priimamiems sprendimams, <....> teisinis švietimas ir pilietinis ugdymas privalo apimti visas galimas formas ir būdus“ [10]. Mokiniai, neįgiję teisinių žinių, ateityje sunkiau prisitaikys prie nuolat kintančių ar naujų socialinių normų bei nesugebės jomis naudotis ginant savo teises ir laisves... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / The significance of legal education is emphasized in various documents and educational literature. It is a "process in which individuals are provided with opportunities to acquire knowledge and skills, helping them to exercise their rights and freedoms in the legal system to defend their rights and accept responsibilities. Public legal education attempts to address the problem in different ways and methods. The European Commission in actively involved in legal education of young people by organizing various activities (the Communication on a Europe Union strategy on the Rights of the Child, organized competitions and so on) across the European Union. The Government of the Republic of Lithuania, Ministry of Justice and other authorities are committed to improve public legal education, constantly adopting and approving a variety of public legal education programs, one of the goals is to give each student a "substantial legal knowledge of family, labor relations and relations with the authorities" [8]. As stated in the 2009 Non-governmental organizations in the development of the concept of the project, "in order to cope with declining civic society, and growing frustration on the possibility to influence decisions taken by public authorities, <...> legal education and civic education must cover all possible forms and methods" [10]. Students, who have not acquired legal knowledge in the future will find it more difficult to adapt to constantly changing and new social norms and... [to full text]

The quality of Nigerian Legal Education is fast deteriorating and in addition, the current structure of monitoring the training of lawyers is grossly ineffective. This thesis discusses steps that can be taken in reforming the current structure of Nigerian legal education to revert this trend. This thesis proposes a sytem of internal institutional assessment by law faculties in Nigeria. Financial, social-cultural constraints and politicl economy interference are obstacles to reforming Nigerian legal education, but institutional assessment can mitigagte these obstacles. Using Mariana Prado's concept of institutional bypass as a solution to overcoming these obstacles and also as a means of advancing reforms in the training of lawyers in Nigeria, this thesis proposes the adoption of institutional assessment as a strategy to create an avenue for stimulating reforms and promoting quality in Nigerian legal education.

DURING the sixties, higher education was mainly given by public universities. There were twenty-one public and ten private universities. 1 Growth in education went from 2.3 percent in 1961 to 4.4 percent in 1972, and jumped to 9.9 percent in 1981.

This thesis examines the social mediation of a transnational educational programme, namely the University of London’s International (External) Undergraduate Laws Programme. The thesis explores the lived experiences of a variety of stakeholders – university academics, frontline teaching staff and students - in the context of historical legacy and current development. The University of London’s International (External) programmes is one of the oldest forms of distance education, and the Undergraduate Laws Programme is the second largest subscribed programme and represent the fundamental academic legal education for the legal profession in numerous countries. With the separation of teaching, assessment and award as the distinguishing feature consequential to the origins of the University of London its legacy results in multitude stakeholders with vested interests in each aspect. The thesis seeks to understand the motivations behind and implications resulting from the various stakeholders’ experiences through an analysis of their narratives gleaned from interviews and data recorded from observations. Is there a distinct identity and culture within each group of stakeholders which has developed through the evolution of the programme? Can a pattern or theory of teaching and learning unique to the programme be identified and if so, what kind of impact has that had on legal education? The possibility of identifying existing and/or emerging communities of practice within and across each group of stakeholders is a recurring theme discussed on the basis that the theory of situated learning within a community of practice is a form of active learning; an objective which the University of London has sought to actively achieve since 2005. By building an ethnography of the various stakeholders, the thesis explores a formerly under researched aspect of undergraduate legal education and acts as a prompt for future areas of research in the areas of legal and distance education.

Ugdymo realybėje kylančios problemos susijusios su visuomenės gyvenimo pokyčiais, ugdymo turinys, kaip socialinio užsakymo raiška, atspindi šiandieninės visuomenės poreikius, lūkesčius, problemas. Visuomenei ir asmenybei prasmingas toks ugdymo turinys, kuris atitinka konkrečios visuomenės materialinę ir dvasinę kultūrą.

Kalbant apie sparčią socialinę kaitą, tuo pačiu ir apie teisinio ugdymo turinio kaitą, reikia pabrėžti kompetencijos reikšmę Bendrosiose programose (ugdymo turinyje). Šis globalizacijos laikmetis yra pažymėtas ypatingu ženklu, kai globali ideologija, žadanti patogesnį, kokybiškesnį, įdomesnį gyvenimą, persmelkia visų valstybių politiką, kultūrą, švietimą, socialinį gyvenimą, siūlydama tvarkytis pagal tuos pačius principus, t.y. kompetencijas. Kompetencijos samprata...

Legal education at secondary school is the environment that educates students, namely citizens that are conscious, realizing their rights and duties, able to adjust legal knowledge in certain situations, constructively participate in changing society life. The obstacles that appear in education reality are associated with social life changes, the education content as social expressions, reflects the changes of today’s society, as well as expectations and problems. Education content will be meaningful only when it will correlate with society and person’s material and emotional culture. As a consequence, modern society should take into consideration education syllabus and their content as only the competent and meaningful syllabus as well as content may be useful and influence the progress among secondary school students.
