Rovné příležitosti ke vzdělání - v terciárním školství (vysoké školy) / Equal Opportunities for Education - in the Tertiary Education (Universities)Maňourová, Tereza January 2015 (has links)
Education plays an increasingly important role in achieving success in life and the social ladder, because every individual should have the same opportunity to study regardless of their origin, social characteristics, educational family history or other ascriptive factors. This thesis deals with an access to higher education for those who come from low-income families or families where a higher education has no family history. It describes and analyzes the current access to tertiary education in the Czech Republic in the context of the equalization of opportunities of students from families with no tradition of higher education or lower socio- economic status. The theoretical part presents information about the issue of access to higher education. It explains the concepts which are often mentioned in this thesis, describes the historical development of the right to education and the path to the right of equal access to tertiary education in a modern society. The following describes the sociological theories on educational inequality and they are applied to the specific factors influencing equity of access to tertiary education. Finally, it outlines the current development in the Czech Republic. The practical part describes the support system for the largest university in the Czech Republic. This...

The attitudes of L1-African language students towards the LOLT issue at UnisaBekker, Ian 28 February 2002 (has links)
Recent language policy developments at the University of South Africa (Unisa) indicate that the language attitudes of its students should be researched, particularly the attitudes of students who have an African language as their first language.
This study takes a first but solid step towards meeting this requirement. It conducts exploratory research into the nature of the relevant language attitudes and, based on the findings of this research, constructs an attitude scale that can be usefully employed in the measurement of such attitudes, both at Unisa and other tertiary institutions in South Africa.
In order to achieve its aims, the study places much emphasis on the use of proper methodology, in order to counteract the trend in much local language-attitude research of ignoring the complexity of language attitudes and avoiding methodologically sophisticated and rigorous statistical techniques that are equipped to accommodate such complexity. / Linguistics / M.A. (Linguistics)

Mission statement and management of private tertiary religious institutions in Eastern and Southern AfricaKibuuka, Hudson Eddie 06 1900 (has links)
The region of Eastern and Southern Africa has recently experienced an unprecedented
development of private tertiary institutions. Most of these institutions are established by
religious organisations which, since the inception of education, have been involved in
operating educational institutions of lower levels. Although referred to as private
institutions, which by definition would imply funding other than the government sources,
these private institutions find themselves, at times requesting the government to fund
their development as well as their operations.
This study sought to investigate if these private religious institutions have unique raison
d'etre expressed in the form of mission statements. The study also investigated the nature
of their management and the management structures in practice.
The literature reviewed indicated that private religious institutions have a unique mission
based on their basic concept of education and their world view. They seek to pursue and
inculcate specific values. Operating in a competitive environment, however, in which
their competitors do receive funding from the government makes the private institutions
vulnerable to hardships.
The study was conducted using qualitative research approach in three countries, namely
Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe; involving all degree granting recognised private
religious institutions in the sample and focussing on the management. The respondents
were chosen by elite purposive and snowball sampling. The main data collection method
was the interview. However, document analysis, observations, and a questionnaire were
also used.
The findings from the data indicate that private religious institutions have unique
missions although they are, at times, not expressed in the form of mission statements. As
a result some of the stakeholders, including those involved in management, don't get to
know what their institutions' missions are.
The study concludes by emphasising the development of clear mission statements
involving the stakeholders in the process and having the mission statements widely
disseminated. It is also recommended that training in management is important for the
managers of the institutions at the various levels. A model of management is proposed
for streamlining the management of the institutions considering the requirements of the
national governments as well as those of the religious proprietors. / Educational Studies / D. Ed. (Educational Management)

The Association of Libarians in colleges of advanced education and the committee of Australian university librarians: The evolution of two higher education library groups, 1958-1997Oakshott, Stephen Craig, School of Information, Library & Archives Studies, UNSW January 1998 (has links)
This thesis examines the history of Commonwealth Government higher education policy in Australia between 1958 and 1997 and its impact on the development of two groups of academic librarians: the Association of Librarians in Colleges in Advanced Education (ALCAE) and the Committee of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). Although university librarians had met occasionally since the late 1920s, it was only in 1965 that a more formal organisation, known as CAUL, was established to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. ALCAE was set up in 1969 and played an important role helping develop a special concept of library service peculiar to the newly formed College of Advanced Education (CAE) sector. As well as examining the impact of Commonwealth Government higher education policy on ALCAE and CAUL, the thesis also explores the influence of other factors on these two groups, including the range of personalities that comprised them, and their relationship with their parent institutions and with other professional groups and organisations. The study focuses on how higher education policy and these other external and internal factors shaped the functions, aspirations, and internal dynamics of these two groups and how this resulted in each group evolving differently. The author argues that, because of the greater attention given to the special educational role of libraries in the CAE curriculum, the group of college librarians had the opportunity to participate in, and have some influence on, Commonwealth Government statutory bodies responsible for the coordination of policy and the distribution of funding for the CAE sector. The link between ALCAE and formal policy-making processes resulted in a more dynamic group than CAUL, with the university librarians being discouraged by their Vice-Chancellors from having contact with university funding bodies because of the desire of the universities to maintain a greater level of control over their affairs and resist interference from government. The circumstances of each group underwent a reversal over time as ALCAE's effectiveness began to diminish as a result of changes to the CAE sector and as member interest was transferred to other groups and organisations. Conversely, CAUL gradually became a more active group during the 1980s and early 1990s as a result of changes to higher education, the efforts of some university librarians, and changes in membership. This study is based principally on primary source material, with the story of ALCAE and CAUL being told through the use of a combination of original documentation (including minutes of meetings and correspondence) and interviews with members of each group and other key figures.
