Using the Education for All (EFA) global movement as the setting,
this book surveys the complex labyrinths of international education
policy making, the design and implementation of system-wide
educational reform, and the assessment of learning outcomes in the
African context. It addresses the following questions: what does it
mean for African states to reform their educational systems to meet
the global agenda of Education for All and the Millennium
Development Goals? Under what structural conditions have African
governments implemented universal primary education programs, and
with what outcomes? What are the lessons learned and how do these
inform the post-2015 agenda for universal primary education in
Africa and other developing countries? This book provides answers
to these questions and opens the possibilities for new approaches
to Education for All in the context of constrained resources,
unstable political climates, and the agency of local communities.
It is undeniable that African governments responded to the
educational goals espoused in EFA and MDG paradigms through their
own "education for all" plans and expended vast resources to
realize these objectives. However, there remains a serious gap in
knowledge about the design of these plans, the influence of local
and international forces in their development, the challenges
inherent in executing comprehensive and multifaceted reforms to
achieve these goals, and the success of the reform measures as
evident in student learning outcomes. This book addresses this
knowledge gap in three ways. First, it utilizes empirical data
collected over a five-year period from six African countries-Kenya,
Mali, Senegal, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda-to illuminate how the
global agenda on education has been debated, designed, and
implemented across the continent, and with what outcomes. Second,
it frames the six nation case studies within the wider logic of
international educational policy agenda and the continent-wide
search for education quality. Finally, the analysis of universal
primary education strategies is undertaken from an
interdisciplinary perspective thereby allowing a more comprehensive
view of the educational reform.
In this clear and absorbing memoir John Sam Jones writes of a life
lived on the edge. It's a story of journeys and realisation, of
acceptance and joy. From a boyhood on the coast of Wales to a
traumatic period as an undergraduate in Aberystwyth, and on to a
scholarship at Berkley on the San Francisco Bay as the AIDS
epidemic began to take hold before returning to Liverpool and north
Wales to work in chaplaincy, education and sexual health. A journey
of becoming a writer and chronicler of his experiences with
award-winning books and the somewhat reluctant compulsion to become
a campaigner for LGBT rights in Wales. The adventure of running a
guest house in Barmouth where he eventually became Mayor with his
husband, a German academic, whom he had married after a long
partnership. Just days after European Referendum they put the
business on the market... and then moved to Germany. John is still
on that journey.
These sensual stories by prize-winning author John Sam Jones reveal
lucid prose and complex lives. Moving through city steam rooms,
rugged North Wales mountains and estuaries facing other places.
Risky sex, new romance and easy understanding, a mortgage on a semi
or keeping a lid on it all for the sake family, status and
belief...

All 23 episodes from Season 2 of the series about Superman's early
life. In 'Vortex', Clark (Tom Welling) rescues Lana (Kristin Kreuk)
from the eye of a tornado, and then discovers that the storm has
powered up his spaceship and deposited it in an exposed position in
a cornfield. In 'Heat', Clark goes into hiding after discovering
his new power of heat vision, which can have some rather startling
effects. 'Duplicity' sees Pete (Sam Jones) happening upon Clark's
spaceship in the cornfield, which forces Clark to reveal his secret
to him. In 'Red', Clark is given his high school ring which is
supposedly set with ruby, but is actually red meteor rock. The rock
has an instant and dramatic effect on him, changing him into a
wayward rebel who overspends on the family credit card and picks
fights. In 'Nocturne', Lana finds a love poem left for her at her
parents' grave by Byron Moore (Sean Faris), an elusive boy with a
dark and dangerous secret. 'Lineage' sees a mysterious woman,
Rachel Dunlevy (Blair Brown) turning up in Smallville, claiming to
be Clark's biological mother. This prompts the Kents to finally
reveal to Clark the truth about what happened when they discovered
him as a toddler in the cornfield. In 'Ryan', Clark tests his
powers to the limit to save Ryan (Ryan James), a telepathic boy who
is being used as a test subject at the Summerholt Research Facility
by the evil Dr Garner (Martin Cummins). In 'Dichotic', a gifted
student, Ian (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) has cloned himself and is
dating both Lana and Chloe (Allison Mack) at the same time. Clark
tries to warn the girls, but they attribute his interference to
jealousy. In 'Skinwalkers', Clark falls into a cave filled with
Native American inscriptions that hold the key to his true
identity. 'Visage' sees the return of Whitney Fordman (Eric
Johnson), which disrupts the relationship betwen Clark and Lana -
until his odd behaviour prompts Clark to make a shocking discovery
about his true identity. In 'Suspect', Jonathan finds himself
framed for murder after being found in possession of a murder
weapon. But Clark and Pete mount their own investigation and
discover a tangle of motives and possible suspects. 'Insurgence'
sees Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) discovering that Lionel has secretly
installed an electronic surveillance system in his mansion. In
retaliation, Lex hires crooks to install cameras in Lionel's
Metropolis office... In 'Rush', a parasitic worm infects Pete and
Chloe, turning them into wild adrenaline junkies. In 'Prodigal',
Lex tracks down his long-lost brother Lucas (Paul Wasilewski), and
brings him home to Smallville in the hope that they can buy Lionel
out and unite against him. 'Fever' sees Martha (Annette O'Toole)
fall into a coma after breathing in meteor dust. It is then
revealed that she is pregnant with Clark's brother or sister.
'Rosetta' features a guest appearance from the original Superman
movie actor, Christopher Reeve, who plays Dr Virgil Swann, a
brilliant scientist who helps Clark to receive messages from his
home planet using the Native American symbols that Clark discovered
when he fell into the cave. In 'Visitor', a new student, Cyrus
Krupp (Jeremy Lelliot) reveals to Clark that he is an alien.
'Precipice' sees Clark jumping to Lana's defence when she is almost
assaulted by a college student. He injures the student, causing him
to question the virtue of his powers, and soon finds himself facing
a lawsuit that could cost the Kents their farm. In 'Witness', Clark
tries to intervene after inadvertently witnessing the theft of a
Luthercorp truck, but is dismayed to discover that the thieves are
as strong as he is. In 'Accelerate', Lana asks for Clark's advice
after being visited by the ghost of her childhood friend, Emily
(Jodelle Micah Ferlar). But Clark realises that the little girl is
in fact a kryptonite-enhanced clone who is out to get revenge on
Lana, and wants her to drown just as she, Emily, did several years
before. In 'Calling', Dr Frederick Walden (Rob LaBelle) wakes from
his coma to find himself in possession of incredible powers, and
sets off on a dangerous mission to kill Clark. In 'Exodus', Clark
makes an amazing discovery about his origins when the spaceship
announces that it is programmed with memories of his Kryptonian
father, Jor-El (Terence Stamp). It asks him to come at sunset to
return to his family and friends and fulfil his destiny. But can
Clark leave his life in Smallville behind? 'Redux' sees Clark
coming to the rescue when a mutant, Chrissy (Maggie Lawson), starts
killing young men by sucking their youth out of them to keep
herself young, leaving them aged and lifeless.
A fantastic collection of poetry inspired by a life in The Forest
of Dean and its various inhabitants. Amusing, inspirational,
thought-provoking, nostalgic and heart breakingly magnificent. A
must read for fans of lovingly crafted poems and any 'Foresters'.
