Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of similarities and distinctions between development and educational assistance in the USA as compared with other countries, this paper provides a general review of relevant materials on US foreign aid. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reviews published books and articles as well as US government budget and Congressional reporting materials and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development statistics. Findings – Beginning with the Marshall Plan following Second World War, the USA has always been a leader in foreign aid. In many ways, US development agencies resemble counterparts in other countries – foreign aid is part of larger network of bilateral relationships, funding requests must compete with requests from other sectors, etc. In other ways, the US stands apart. Because of US Congressional reporting requirements and for philosophical reasons, the US has been reluctant to join other countries in provision of budgetary support. The US coordinates its work with host country governments, but generally organizes its activities in project mode, relying largely on US contractors. The US Agency for International Development and the Department of State are the largest US government development agencies. Still, unlike other donors, development funding and technical assistance is provided by up to 25 agencies with relatively little coordination. US foreign aid has always included a security as well as humanitarian and development dimensions. In recent years, as development assistance is increasingly coordinated with diplomacy and defense, the military dimension has been heightened. Perhaps the most original finding is the notion that public and government support of US foreign aid has required both security and development/humanitarian rationales to remain viable. Originality/value – The paper brings together information from a range of existing sources, but provides a unique perspective on US foreign aid in education.

The National Federation of Canadian University Students (NFCUS) and the Canadian Union of Students (CUS) had historicity; that is, they helped transform the field of historical action by convincing business, government, university administrators and public opinion on the need for mass student-aid programs and low tuition fees. From the 1950s to the mid-1960s, NFCUS and CUS campaigned for government-funded mass student-aid; in fact, it was their number one "national affairs" concern. Governments responded to the NFCUS and CUS accessibility lobby with the Canada Student Loan Program (CSLP) in 1964, the Ontario Student Assistance Plan (OSAP) in 1966 and "frozen" tuition fees by 1967. The achievement of the CSLP divided Quebec and English- Canadian students and began a process of removing traditional student movement catalysts. NFCUS's and CUS's lobby for non-repayable student bursaries was co-opted. However, the level of accessibility to post- secondary education was unprecedented and, in part, provided the social conditions for the emergence of new social movements.

Higher education scholars are familiar with the close relationship between American higher education and the federal government after World War II. The G.I. Bill and Cold War concerns for maintaining the nation's technological advantage made the federal government the major benefactor of postsecondary growth. The seismic shifts of that era, though, tend to overshadow earlier developing ties between the federal government and the colleges and, more specifically, the roots of direct federal aid to college students. This article seeks to redress that problem by exploring the subtle ways that federal aid became integrated into the visions and plans of the leaders of American higher education in the years prior to World War II. By examining New Deal Era college aid at a variety of institutions of higher education in the state of Ohio, we can uncover how the earlier courtship between the federal government and the colleges helped clear the way for later, more profound changes.

In countries throughout the world, there are increasing pressures to reduce the government share of costs for goods and services with high payoffs to individuals so that the limited available public funds can be used for other needs. This paper suggests several strategies for reducing government expenditures on higher education, including direct cost recovery, grants from and contracts with external agencies, income-producing enterprises, private contributions, and expansion of the private sector. Policy implications and examples (e.g., student access and financial aid, tax status of revenues from enterprises, deferred cost recovery) are presented for both developing and developed countries.

Abstract This paper examines whether foreign aid in education has a significant effect on growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our analysis covers 38 countries over the period 1990–2004 and we control for initial per capita income, inflation, investment, government consumption, openness to trade and institutional quality. We find that (i) aid in primary education has a positive and significant effect on growth; (ii) aid in post-primary education has an adverse effect or at best no significant impact on growth; and (iii) growth increases as aid in primary education as a share of total education aid rises.

This study examines the George Coles bursary program—a financial aid plan designed to “keep residents at home” so they can attend university, by providing a bursary in their first year of university following high school graduation. The study offers insight into higher education students’ financial circumstances, thereby suggesting policy direction for governments and higher education institutions wishing to retain talent and support student financing. The findings show that the resident students considered in the study appeared to value the bursary. However, none of the key metrics related to participation in or conversion to the home institution indicated that the bursary impacted enrolment or participation. This research highlights the importance of utilizing financial aid in combination with other policies to help students access higher education.

Full textAbstract:
A problematic aspect of the scientific understanding of the methodology for making decisions on providing state aid to enterprises is a certain gap between the norms of legislation and International Financial Reporting Standards. The article identifies and systematizes the information support for assessing the compliance of enterprises with the criteria for providing government aid, taking into account the areas and types of State aid. The methodological and information support for assessing the compliance of business entities with the criteria for providing government aid during the COVID-19 pandemic is grouped into two key areas: social support for insured persons and enterprises for the period of restrictive anti-epidemic measures and assistance to business entities to overcome the consequences of COVID-19. It is established that in 2020 there was a significant increase in the share of state resources for the provision of state aid (up to 54%, compared to 2019, where the share of the state budget was 9% and 4% in 2018). The general indicators for assessing government aid in Ukraine have been identified and calculated, on the basis of which it has been established that the amount of state aid per citizen of Ukraine in 2020 can be estimated at UAH 260.24 per person, or EUR 8.45 per person, which is the highest figure for the period under study. This is due to the intensification of state regulation mechanisms for the provision of state aid to overcome the consequences caused by the coronavirus disease and reduce the macroeconomic shock. The provision of government aid in Ukraine should be carried out in compliance with Ukraine's international obligations under the Association Agreement on state aid and ensure the principles of transparency of such processes.

This research article, “Analysis of Trends and Management Pattern of Educational Aid in Nepal: An Empirical Analysis” aims to analyze the trends and management pattern of education aid in Nepal. Aid is the essential means to remove the bottleneck of development in Nepal. Since 1952 AD international donors have been supporting education sector reforms in Nepal with individual basis. Aid program Education for All (EFA), (2004-2009 AD) was established with donors and Nepal Government Joint Financing Agreement (JFA) for the school education reform. Then after, EFA (2001-2015) established education aid for the reform of primary education in Nepal. This research used the secondary data from the different sources of information and used the descriptive research design for data analysis. The researchers concluded that the educational aid trend is in increasing way in each year, only effective management will fulfill the target and increase the effectiveness of the educational aid in the context of Nepal.

In world regions receiving direct foreign aid, beneficiaries of aid often lack the education required to remove themselves from poverty. Micro-lending refers to the initiation of small loans to the neediest of borrowers who are unable to secure traditional financing from financial intermediaries. In order for micro-lending to thrive as a viable alternative to traditional government aid, borrowers must not only receive a loan, but also an education in business to fully equip borrowers with necessary resources to establish and operate a prosperous business entity. The authors will argue for the provision of increased educational resources and discuss the disparities between the US model of education and that of third-world nations. Furthermore, the authors will prescribe steps to develop educational materials and train micro-credit borrowers to better guarantee the viability of microfinance.

Full textAbstract:
This paper demonstrates that increasing income inequality can contribute to the trends we see in American higher education, particularly in the selective, private nonprofit and public sectors. Given these institutions’ selective admissions and commitment to socioeconomic diversity, the paper demonstrates how increasing income inequality leads to higher tuition, costs, and financial aid. A numerical example is presented that estimates how much lower tuition, spending (costs), and financial aid would have been if household incomes in the United States had grown by the same aggregate amount between 1971 and 2009, but with no increase in income inequality. The policy implications include the government addressing rising income inequality directly or changing the incentives facing higher education and will be of interest to those concerned with the rising cost of higher education and issues of access and affordability.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, the key macroeconomic determinants of economic growth in Zambia are investigated using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach. The study has been motivated by the unsustainable growth trends that Zambia has been experiencing in recent years. Our study finds that the key macroeconomic determinants that are significantly associated with economic growth in Zambia include, amongst others, investment, human capital development, government consumption, international trade and foreign aid. The study’s results reveal that in the short run, investment and human capital development are positively associated with economic growth, while government consumption, international trade and foreign aid are negatively associated with economic growth. However, in the long run, the study finds investment and human capital development to be positively associated with economic growth, while only foreign aid is negatively associated with economic growth. These results have significant policy implications. They imply that short–run economic policies should focus on creating incentives that attract investment and increase the quality of education, the effectiveness of government institutions, the promotion of international trade reforms and the effectiveness of development aid. In the long run, development strategies should focus on attracting the accumulation of long-term investment, improving the quality of education and the effectiveness of development aid.

This article examines three fundamental questions with respect to the place of e-government in graduate education for cancers in public service. First, where does e-govemment fit in the curriculum of graduate programs in public policy and administration? Second, might we expect the answer to this question to vary depending on the institutional home and type of public affaire degree? Third, should we expect programs to offer a required course on e-government or should we aim to integrate material on e-govemment throughout the curriculum? These questions are approached through standards developed for public affairs education in the United States. hut they are examined in the context of international variations in governance, technology, and education. The article first traces the development of e-government across the globe, summarizing important issues and considerations that governments must answer as they pursue e-government initiatives. It then reviews standards that have been developed for public affairs education in the United States and turns to the question of how in incorporate e-government in the curricalum. E-government involves much more than technological and information management questions. Thus, it has implications for the entire public affairs curriculum. It is unlikely that a single course can successfully covers technical, managerial, and policy dimensions of e-government. For must programs, it will be more productive to explore e-government across a range of courses in the existing curriculum. The approach that is taken is likely to be affected by institutional setting, resources, and faculty competencies. It is also likely to be shaped by the broader social, economic, and political environments in which programs operate. Although the stage of e-government development in the country is likely to make a difference, although we can also hope that our training will also shape e-government's development.

Full textAbstract:
The existence of Islamic Religious Schools (IRS) and Chinese Schools (CS) preceeded the history of the formation of the country and developed along with the various educational policies implemented by the government until it successfully dignified its position in the current of national education. However, the managers in both types of schools were found to be in conflict with the government in fighting for their educational rights. The conflict between school managers and the government is about maintaining the main goal of school establishment or the school’s traditional curriculum, namely the Diniah curriculum (IRS) and the Chinese language and culture curriculum (CS). In addition, school managers also experience conflicts of overlapping management powers between the School Management Board (SMB) and the government, the ambiguity of education rights based on national legislation and a lack of justice from the aspect of government financial aid distribution. This study aims to examine the practice of democratization of education that exists in the management of both types of schools. In this qualitative study, data was collected through semi-structured interviews with two managers from IRS and two CS managers in Malaysia. The findings of the study show that the government is seen to be practicing imperfect democracy in fulfilling the four aspects of both types of schools’ educational rights, namely the main goal of establishing schools, management authority, legislation and the distribution of financial aid. This government’s practice shows the spirit of democratization of education that prioritizes the direction of the national education policy to meet the country’s aspirations in facing the needs of the 21th century.

Educational achievements in Kerala, India, includes near total literacy, free and universal primary education, low dropout rates, easy access to Higher education resulting in the exceptional social development and quality of life. It is often acclaimed as the ‘Kerala Model’ with reference to the whole education system in India. The initiatives by missionaries and princely regimes of Travancore and Cochin laid the foundation for education in Kerala. The social reform movements accelerated the spread of education. Large scale Government funding of education was an important factor behind the State’s educational development both in private educational institutions established by any person or agency and recognized by and is receiving aid from Government, and Government institutions established and maintained by State Government. This paper focuses on the unique partnership between the private and the public which paved way for the success of the ‘Kerala model’ of education in India along with its challenges and significance.Key words: public, private, partnership, challenges, educational landscapes

Full textAbstract:
As part of receiving support from the Smart Indonesia Program (PIP), this study intends to analyze and apply the K-Means algorithm in the process of grouping elementary school students. PIP is a government initiative that attempts to give money to elementary school pupils from disadvantaged or weaker homes. The effective and fair distribution of aid monies depends on the proper grouping of the students. The K-Means approach was selected because it can cluster data, allowing the grouping of pupils based on pertinent traits. Numerous characteristics that can affect kids' financial needs are included in the data utilized in this study, including family income, parental education level, proximity to the school, and other social and economic issues. This study makes use of empirical data from a PIP-affiliated elementary school in an urban setting. The data includes a large number of pertinent features and thousands of pupils. Based on how similar their characteristics are, pupils are divided into numerous clusters using the K-Means technique. The findings of this study will help us better identify the traits of students who are eligible for PIP support. By doing this, the government can allocate funds more wisely and guarantee that aid is given where it is most needed. The PIP program can benefit children in need more by streamlining the process of grouping the students. In addition, this research has broader implications for social aid and education policy. To guarantee effectiveness and equity in resource allocation, the K-Means algorithm can be used in a variety of additional aid initiatives. Data mining-based strategies, like those employed in this study, are becoming more crucial to boost the effectiveness of aid programs like PIP. The findings of this study can help the government and educational institutions improve the efficacy of aid initiatives designed to boost Indonesian children's education

Full textAbstract:
There has been consensus on the notion that education results in economic prosperity and growth in many countries. This has resulted in a strong focus on education policy, with large investments and a lot of public debates concerning the subject. Various schools of thought have made differing suggestions about how government spending impacts economic growth over the years. The Keynesian view is that there is a positive relationship between government spending and economic growth, where the causal effect runs from government spending to economic growth. Conversely, the Neo-classical school asserts that the relationship between the two variables is negative. The topic, therefore, remains a debatable issue. The present study, therefore, tests the causal effect of education expenditure on economic growth in South Africa for the period 1994 to 2021, with the aid of the autoregressive distributed lag approach. Consistent with Keynesian theory, the study results confirm the positive impact of government spending on economic growth. A Granger causal relationship exists between government education expenditure and economic growth, indicating that over time, education expenditure positively impacts economic growth through human capital. This implies that investing (spending) in education is critical in promoting economic growth, especially in the long term.

The Indonesian government has implemented diverse initiatives to foster a nonviolent approach to resolving family law conflicts. The study will examine the involvement of governments and their initiatives in advocating for conflict resolution as a viable method for addressing societal concerns. The aggregation of cases handled by multiple courts led to a prolonged resolution of the recorded concerns. This study will focus on two distinct problem formulations. Firstly, we will discuss the government's role in promoting alternative dispute resolution as a solution to difficulties. Secondly, we will examine why government techniques for implementing alternative conflict resolution are superior to resorting to court proceedings for dispute settlement. This research aims to enhance people's understanding of the government's provision of non-judicial or alternative dispute resolution. The report seeks to analyze the government's initiatives in addressing the issue of Islamic family law. This study will utilize library research and significant data regarding specific government initiatives. This will be accomplished using a legal and normative approach. The study findings indicate that the government is actively promoting alternative methods of resolving disputes, such as mediation. This is being done through the implementation of mediation in the courts, improving legal aid services, enacting laws on a large scale, and encouraging the utilization of information and communication technologies. The strategy is executed by promoting mediation and conciliation in all court proceedings, establishing dispute resolution centers, empowering women to reduce disputes related to women, promoting legal education and awareness, and maximizing the utilization of technology and information.

The venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) industry in Malaysia is at a crossroads. Despite having received RM3 billion in government aid, according to practitioners the industry will be devoid of any privately-backed organisations within five years if further action is not taken. This situation is problematic for many reasons - not least being that the government believes a robust venture capital and private equity sector would contribute to Malaysia’s development goals. Through a review of existing academic literature and in-depth interviews with 25 senior executives of Malaysian financial firms, this article investigates the state of the Malaysian VC/PE industry, and whether the government should intervene to improve its condition. Many financial executives argue that government intervention to aid the VC/PE sector is necessary at the present juncture. Although government efforts to grow VC/PE sectors have yielded less than desirable results in many nations, scholars have noted that a well-structured intervention can minimise such risks. In order to overcome those problems, this article recommends the creation of a RM1 billion ‘fund-of-funds’.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates foreign aid, quality of governance and human development in West Africa, adopting the Random-Effects Model (REM) of the Panel Data Analysis and Estimated Generalized Least Square (EGLS) estimation technique for 15 West African countries from 1990-2015. Governance Composite Index with Goal Post and Geometric Mean approach on six indicators of governance were constructed to treat foreign aid effects on governance collectively. Results showed that most foreign aids improve human development (income, life expectancy, and education). However, some foreign aids weaken the quality of governance. The researchers recommended that government should have little or no role in foreign aid influx into the economy; rather, foreign aid should be channeled through tax effort and private investment. More so, donors should concentrate on poor countries with good institutions if foreign aid must be channeled through government expenditure. Finally, an independent body should ensure mutual accountability between recipients and donors routinely to ensure foreign aid improves human development without weakening governance quality.

This paper examined factors that is militating against digitalization of basic school education in Nigeria. Secondary data were used. The secondary data were gathered from print materials and online publications. The paper identified poor funding, shortage of digital facilities, power problem, poor internet connection, higher cost of digital facilities, poor digital skills and knowledge and shortage of digital experts, poor implementation problem, resistant to change and corruption as major problems that have militated against digitalization of basic education in Nigeria. The government should increase the funding of Basic education in Nigeria and more priorities should be given to the development of digital education. The government should provide adequate digital infrastructure facilities in all the Basic schools to aid accessibility and usability. Innovation Hubs/clusters should be set up in areas where they do not exist to make room for the laps that occurs in some areas in Nigeria, existing hubs should also partner with civil society groups to promote capacity building programs on digital education. The government should address the problem of power generation and distribution across the country. The government should invest more in the information communication technology to improve the connectivity level across the country etc.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the history of national education policy through an interview with one of its significant makers and critics, Lyndsay Connors, a former Australian Schools Commissioner. Design/methodology/approach The paper occurs as an interview. The text is based on a revised conversation held as an event of the Australian and New Zealand History of Education Conference held at the University of Canberra, on 26 September 2017. Findings Australian educational policy is peculiarly complex, and apparently “irrational”. This appears especially so in relation to the government, tax-raised, funding of government and non-government schools. A combination of the peculiarities of Australian federalism in relation to education, political expediency, popular exhaustion with the “state aid” debate, the power of entrenched interest groups and the distancing of democratic decision making from the decision-making process in relation to education all play a part. Originality/value The originality of this contribution to a research journal lies in its combination of autobiography with historical policy analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The underlying framework adopted by the Committee to Review the Australian Overseas Aid Program demands that Australian aid helps to promote the economic development of the recipient less developed countries. If it does not, then the humanitarian, political and economic arguments for giving aid lose much of their cogency. This approach is evident in the treatment of overseas students. The Report recommends a vastly expanded scholarship program because it recognises the central role played by education in economic development. It recommends a different geographical and academic composition for the scholarship scheme because it supports the developmental thrust of Australia's aid program. It recommends also the development of education as an export industry because it believes Australia is competitive in this lucrative trade. It sees no conflict in having Australian educational expertise being used for aid and trade purposes, and does not recommend that trade is more important than aid. It should thus be clear that the current government policy on overseas students is not based solely on the reports of either this Committee or the Committee of Review of Private Overseas Student Policy. It is a compromise between the two and, as with most compromises, suffers from a number of inconsistencies.

Full textAbstract:
Through the lenses of the case of Zelman v Simmons-Harris(2002), this article discusses the American concept of secularism. Unlike the direct government aid to religious activities in various European and Turkish political systems, the American government supports religious instruction only indirectly. Even though the government programs providing financial aid for religion has always faced rigorous examination in the Supreme Court, the current case law of the Court opens the door for a significant amount of unspecified cash flow to religious schools. Thanks to this constitutional pass, it is possible for future politics and legislative endeavors to reshape the contours of state-religion relations in the field of education. Thus, the distinct feature of American secularism based on separation between church and state might bend further.

Full textAbstract:
Local governments in the Philippines are the nearest service units to its citizens. They are expected to deliver quality services to their constituents. As recipients of the different services, citizens are deemed in better position to assess whether quality services are delivered by the different municipalities in the country. In order to address the need to gather citizens’ feedback on the service delivery performance of the local government units (LGU), the Department of Interior and Local Government developed the Citizen Satisfaction Index System (CSIS). The municipality of Tumauini in the province of Isabela is one of the selected LGUs to implement the CSIS project in the country to measure its performance in service delivery for 2018.
This study assessed the awareness and satisfaction of the people in Tumauini, Isabela on the services for Public Works and Infrastructure delivered by the LGU. There were 150 respondents selected using the multi-stage probability sampling method. In gathering the data needed, face to face interview was used with the aid of survey questionnaire.
Overall, results revealed that citizens of Tumauini are aware and satisfied with the different service indicators of the Public Works and Infrastructure programs.
Results of the study may help local government officials in crafting policies and making management decisions to improve the performance of the local government of Tumauini in the provision and delivery of Public Works and Infrastructure services to its constituents.

Full textAbstract:
The integration of Turkish refugees is a policy of harmonizing refugees into society, and the Istanbul local government tries to implement policies in the same direction as the Turkish Central Government. This article examines the policies and role of the Istanbul government in handling Syrian refugees in the Istanbul area in refugee integration. Turkey has been one of the largest recipients and donors of aid for Syrian refugees. Meanwhile, Istanbul has been a place where many migrants live, especially Syrian refugees. This research uses qualitative methods by collecting data through literature studies and descriptive data analysis. The article uses the cosmopolitanism theory to explain how the Istanbul government's policy in accepting refugee arrivals and its intention to help refugees are based on humanitarian principles. The findings showed that the lack of clarity in the Turkish government's general policy, which does not provide general standards and procedures for refugee integration, caused the Istanbul local government to adopt adaptive policies. Health and education are still the main challenges constrained by resources and funds. The assistance the Istanbul government provides Syrian refugees is motivated by humanitarian reasons, where the Istanbul government views Syrian refugees as human beings with the same rights as other Turkish citizens through a cosmopolitanism approach.

The difference in the allocation of aid from the government between State Islamic Religious Higher Education (PTKIN) and Private Islamic Religious Higher Education (PTKIS) is due to the difference in the implementation of education. The organizers are the government, while the PTKIS organizers are organizations or foundations. However, the direction and policy of developing higher education based on Islam is an effort to improve the quality of education and institutions that focus on 4 (four) aspects, namely increasing access to higher education, improving the quality of PTKI services, improving the quality of lecturers, productivity and innovation of PTKI. One of the program target indicators is the indicator for the number of professional lecturers at PTKI: Target Indicators for the 2015 Target Program, the proportion of qualified lecturers at least S2 is 82.5%, S3 12.0% and the 2019 target is the proportion of lecturers with a minimum qualification of S3 20.0%. 2%. Funding for Islamic Education is the joint responsibility of the government, local government and the community. The increase in Islamic education is carried out through a significant increase in the budget so that it reaches 25.12% of the 2019 State Budget. The average budget projection has increased between 5-6% per year

Despite arrays of empirical literatures on the impact human capital development has on the economic growth the debates is inconclusive with mixed outcome. Thus, the main objective of this study is to empirically examine the impact of human capital development on economic growth in Nigeria between the periods of 1999 and 2022. To achieve this said objective; time series secondary data was sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, 2022. Thereafter, Autoregressive Distributed Lag Regression Estimate (ARDL) analysis was conducted with the aid of E-view 10. Findings of this study reveals as follows; that government expenditure on education have positive and statistically significant impact on RGDP. Equally, government expenditure on health have statistically significant impact on RGDP. More so, life span have positive and statistically insignificant impact on RGDP. Again, total school enrollments (SER) have positive and statistically insignificant impact on RGDP. Lastly, this study find out that human capital development has statistically significant short run and long run relationship with economic growth in Nigeria between 1999 and 2022. Therefore, the following recommendations are suggested: first, that Nigeria government at all levels should ensure that priority should be placed on all the components or indicators of human capital development of the Nigerian citizens. Second, government effort toward increase government expenditure on education should be sustaining. Third, governments at all levels should increase the funding for health sector in order to ensure the citizens live healthy so as to be able to increase their productivity and afterward, contributes to economic growth. Fourth, governments’ efforts should be directed to wellbeing of her citizen in order to pro-long the life span Five, governments at all levels should formulate appropriate policy that will ensure that school enrollments should be at upward trend.

There is an increasing number of OBH since The Ministry of Law and Human Rights - National Legal Development Agency conducting the verification and accreditation for Legal Aid Organization. This study raises a question; is verification and accreditation of legal aid organizations based on Law No. 16/2011 a form of fulfillment of the state obligation of Human rights? This study uses a normative approach by analyzing regulations concerning providing legal aid. As result, verification and accreditation of OBH is a measure of Indonesia to fulfill its obligations in regard to guaranteeing equal rights for every citizen of Indonesia. There is a suggestion namely Indonesian government needs to support the establishment of OBH in regard to providing access to legal aid for the community equally.

Girls’ education is critical to the development of Nigeria; as such, this comparative study is an attempt to investigate the extent to which in-school related factors constrained the girls’ education programme strategies of the Bauchi State Government, Nigeria and UNICEF from improving girl-child education in the state. A mixed method research design comprising both qualitative and quantitative approach to data gathering was developed and utilized to obtain a sample size of 180 respondents out of a total population of 283 using Qualtrics quantitative sample size calculator based on purposive sampling technique. Data obtained were analysed thematically and hypothesis tested using multiple regression with the aid of the SPSS statistical software (version 20) at 0.05 level of significance. The null hypothesis was rejected and the alternate upheld because it was found that school related factors, such as furniture, toilet and water facilities, availability of classrooms, teachers and school fence significantly constrained the girls’ education programme strategies of the Bauchi State Government from improving girl-child education compared to that of UNICEF. In conclusion it was recommended that, the state government should utilize traditional and religious institutions to enlighten and create awareness about the benefits of the girls’ education programme been implemented.

The disqualification of Aid/Watch as a charity and the High Court of Australia's subsequent decision shines a spotlight on the common law definition of charitable activity. The Aid/Watch decision enables charitable organisations to legitimately advocate for more efficient implementation of government policies on the relief of poverty and for the advancement of education and religion, without fear of reprisal.
Initially we comment on the inherent tension the Australian Taxation Office experiences as a result of its status as a government department, its responsibilities to administer revenue collection and its role interpreting charity law. We then discuss the common law definition of charity and the Constitutional basis for the High Court’s decision in Aid/Watch. To conclude we outline areas of uncertainties but also potential benefits to charitable organisations which are relevant for any proposal to define ‘charitable organisation’.

The multitude of infrastructural problems in the Indonesian educational sector which had to be dealt with during the 1950s was counterpointed by the sector’s massive expansion. The aim of this paper is to explore this paradox in the framework of Indonesian decolonization. The government policy was to greatly expand education at all levels because it believed education was a gateway to “fulfilling independence (mengisi kemerdekaan)”. This paper argues that this expansion was a strategy of decolonization by which the education legacy of the colonial past was to be delegitimized. However, severe budgetary limitations, and a lack of infrastruture and facilities forced the government to continue its dependence on the inherited colonial education facilities and on foreign aid, hence made the strategy of decolonization unrealized in this process of expansion.

Full textAbstract:
Studies have shown a possible link between women achieving some degree of economic independence through empowerment and a decline in gender-based violence (GBV). However, inadequate funding has been a major challenge in developing economies, while foreign aid has been seen as an alternative funding source. Foreign aid for promoting women’s rights and gender equality is improving in African countries. Yet, according to official statistics, the frequency of GBV in Africa is among the highest in the world. Given this, this paper examines the impact of women’s aid and institutional quality on factors that can reduce GBV using both cross-sectional autoregressive lags to investigate short- and long-run implications and the Panel Vector Correction Model to examine the shock effect of aid on other variables. Also, the mediating role of institutional quality and women’s aid are considered. The metrics used forthe factors that reduce GBVare female children out of school, the secondary school gender parity index, the genital mutilation prevalence rate, and the metrics for institutional quality are the rules of law and government effectiveness. The implications from the findings show that enhancing the legal structure is very important in Africa, given the low coefficient values to reduce discrimination against the right to education; more should be done to increase the enrolment of female students through the maximisation of women’s aid in order to achieve the short- and long-term objectives of reducing gender violence. The findings also show that the rule of law significantly aids in the reduction of female genital mutilation in the short and long run; government effectiveness is insignificant. Also, they show that women’s aid also reduces female genital mutilation, albeit at a low rate. The results of this study call for strong enhanced government support and funding to end the practice of female genital mutilation and discrimination against female education in the short and long run.

Full textAbstract:
The Education Partnership Assistance (EPA) is an institutional arrangement that has played an important role in the balanced and sustainable development of higher education in China, in which universities of East China provide the paired universities in West China with various assistance. EPA is part of the political commitment made by the Chinese government to fulfil sustainable and balanced development. By applying a policy process framework and qualitative text analysis to the government and universities’ official documents, we find EPA is primarily based on the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s ideological cornerstones of “common prosperity”. Over the past two decades, by conducting leadership secondment, faculty and student training, and ICT and library development, EPA has improved the development of universities in West China, and the central government’s current emphasis remains on the continuation of EPA. However, this paper argues that EPA cannot be going on indefinitely and that true sustainability is contingent on the capacity building of the recipient universities, rather than on the endless assistance from supporting universities. EPA is a localized action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in China. It sheds light on the connections between domestic aid and the SDGs from a supplementary perspective.
