Stritikus, Tom, and Diem Nguyen. "Strategic Transformation: Cultural and Gender Identity Negotiation in First-Generation Vietnamese Youth." American Educational Research Journal 44, no. 4 (December 2007): 853–95. http://dx.doi.org/10.3102/0002831207308645.
Abstract:
This article explores the various ways in which recent Vietnamese immigrant students form cultural and gender identities as they transition to U.S. schooling. Using data from a 2-year qualitative study that tracked the social and academic adjustment processes of recent Vietnamese immigrant youth, this article examines the tensions that students struggle with as they bring their own values and practices into the school site. The findings suggest that gender functions as a complex social category for recent immigrants that shifts across social contexts. The authors argue that accounting for a full picture of gender identity more accurately captures the manner in which recent immigrant students adapt to U.S. schooling.

"Age and educational level effects on the performance of normal elderly on category verbal fluency tasks." Dementia & Neuropsychologia 3, no. 1 (March 2009): 49–54. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1980-57642009dn30100010.
Abstract:
Abstract Cognitive decline, particularly executive dysfunction, is observed in normal aging. In Brazil, the elderly population presents broad educational diversity. Category verbal fluency tests are frequently used to detect cognitive impairment, assessing executive function, language and semantic memory. Objective: To investigate the effects of age and education on category animal fluency task (CAF) in healthy elderly. Methods: We evaluated 319 healthy elderly from outpatient care units of two university reference centers of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The sample was divided into two age, and five schooling subgroups. To be included participants had to demonstrate preservation of global cognitive functioning, independence for activities of daily living and not fulfill diagnostic criteria for dementia. All participants were submitted to neurological and neuropsychological evaluations. Results: There was a correlation between age and CAF performance (r= -0.26, p<0.01), which was not confirmed when years of education were included as a covariant in univariate ANCOVA. Significant differences were found in CAF performance among the different educational level groups on correlation analysis (r=0.42, p<0.01) and ANCOVA analysis (F=18.8, p<0.05). Illiteracy was associated with worst CAF performance, while university level was associated with best performance. Conclusion: The best CAF performance was found in the first years of schooling (literacy learning process) compared to illiteracy, and when finishing high school and starting university courses compared to all other educational levels. These stages are associated with significant gains in semantic memory and executive function which are critical for verbal fluency performance.

"Occupation and factors associated with exposure to the sun among beach workers." Ciência & Saúde Coletiva 19, no. 4 (April 2014): 1171–78. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1413-81232014194.00392013.
Abstract:
Subjects were selected from five urban beaches to characterize the type of work conducted on urban beaches in the city of Natal, state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, and determine potential associated factors among workers exposed to the sun. Data collection was based on a validated questionnaire. Results were obtained for 362 workers. Individuals were predominantly male (72.6%) who worked under direct exposure to the sun (87.8%). Almost 95% had no more than 6 years of schooling and 87.91% earned an average monthly income of $318.75 dollars or more. Photoprotection was reported by 80.1%, among which sunscreen and caps/hats were predominant. Around 25% smoked and more than half did not consume alcohol. Male gender, no more than 6 years of schooling, daily exposure for up to 6 hours and use of photoprotection were the factors associated with the outdoor work category.

Ali, Karamat, and Rana Ejaz Ali Khan. "Simultaneous Decision Making of Child Schooling and Child Labour in Pakistani Urban Households." LAHORE JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS 9, no. 1 (January 1, 2004): 127–48. http://dx.doi.org/10.35536/lje.2004.v9.i1.a6.
Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a rapidly expanding literature on child labour that provides empirical evidence on its nature and determinants. The previous literature on Pakistani child labour includes Khan (1982), Hussain (1985), Ahmed (1991), Khan and Ali (1991) and Weiner and Noman (1995), and recently Addision, et. al. (1997), Burki and Fasih (1998), Ray (2000a), Ray (2000b), Ray (2001) and Ali and Khan (2003). Some studies (see for instance Khan 1982; Ahmed 1991) discuss mainly the qualitative features of child labour. The recent literature has focused attention on the quantitative aspect, taking advantage of the increasing availability of good quality data on child labour. Within the empirical literature on child labour, there has been a shift in emphasis from more quantification to an econometric analysis of its determinants. As child labour is seen to result from the same variables influencing child schooling but in inverse, so school enrolment is strongly correlated with child labour. Child labour commitments are major reasons for children’s non-participation in school. So the literature has moved to incorporate child schooling and child labour and thus analyses schooling and child labour jointly (see for instance, Degraff et. al. 1993; Mahmood et. al. 1994). The present study is one of this category.

"Barriers for HIV testing during pregnancy in Southern Brazil." Revista de Saúde Pública 40, no. 2 (April 2006): 220–25. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s0034-89102006000200006.
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To assess HIV testing rate and determine risk factors for not have been tested during pregnancy. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil, from December 2000 to February 2001. Socioeconomic, maternal and healthcare variables were obtained by means of a standardized questionnaire. Crude and adjusted odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals were obtained in logistic regression models. RESULTS: A total of 1,642 mothers were interviewed. Of them, 94.3% reported being offered HIV testing before or during pregnancy or during labor; 89 mothers (5.4%) were not tested or did not know if they were tested. Attending fewer than six prenatal visits, being single and younger than 18 years old were relevant barriers preventing HIV testing. There was found a relationship between maternal schooling and the category of prenatal care provider. Having low 22.20 (12.43-39.67) or high 3.38 (1.86-7.68). schooling and being cared in the private sector strongly reduced the likelihood of being HIV tested. CONCLUSIONS: The Brazilian Health Ministry's recommendation for universal counseling and HIV testing has been successfully implemented in the public sector. In order to improve HIV testing coverage, new strategies need to target women cared in the private sector especially those of low schooling.

Abstract:
The study looks at the factors that influence farmland transfer option in Yunnan province, China. To help achieve this objective, 6,007 households were randomly selected from rural communities. The sample includes households who are engaged in lease-out, lease-in, and those who engage in neither lease-out nor lease-in. The data was analysed using multinomial probit model. The results show that farmland certification and knowledge of land tenure policy have positive impact on both lease-in and lease-out decisions relative to the reference category. Farmland size and years of schooling show negative and positive impact on lease-in and lease-out decisions, respectively, relative to the reference category. The net income of the household and crop insurance have positive and negative effect on lease-in and lease-out decisions, respectively, relative to the base category. The results suggest that price per mu has a positive effect on the lease-out decision relative to the base category. The study broadens the scope of analysis on farmland transfer by considering all the options available to a household in farmland transfer decision taking.

Abstract:
The Human Development Index (HDI), which takes into account three fundamental aspects of human existence, a long and healthy life, knowledge, and a reasonable level of living, is one tool used to assess the effectiveness of human progress. Clustering provinces based on the human development index is important so that development disparities can be identified and help identify provinces with high, medium or low levels of development. The purpose of this study was to use the k-medoids approach to perform a cluster analysis of HDI in Indonesia based on life expectancy, average years of schooling, expected years of schooling, and expenditure per capita adjusted for 2022. The analysis indicate that two clusters were created: cluster 1 had a high human development index, while cluster 2 had a low human development index. More provinces belonged to cluster 1 than cluster 2 suggesting that human development index in Indonesia in 2022 was largely in the high category

Abstract:
Numerical literacy is an important aspect of schooling. Students must be able to count, relate, and perform arithmetic. The purpose of this study is to know deeply the numeracy literacy competency of private student’s junior high school. The following findings are the result of research employing tests as a data collection instrument. There are two students in the high category, five in the medium group, and nineteen in the low category. Based on these findings, it is possible to conclude that children at the research school have poor literacy skills. Furthermore, it is envisaged that schools will seek alternate learning techniques capable of concretizing numeracy literacy principles. Numerical literacy is an important part of the world of education. Students are expected to understand and acquire the competency of numeracy.

"Notification of cases of HIV/AIDS among the elderly in the state of Ceará: the historical sequence between 2005 and 2014." Revista Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia 21, no. 5 (October 2018): 542–52. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1981-22562018021.180041.
Abstract:
Abstract Objective: to describe the historical sequence and characteristics of reported cases of HIV/AIDS among the elderly in the state of Ceará from 2005 to 2014. Method: a descriptive study was carried out, based on the Ministry of Health database, available in SINAN (Disease Cases Notification Information System) from January 2005 to December 2014. The variables studied were: gender, race, schooling, marital status and exposure category. Result: a total of 10,299 new cases were reported in the state, 1.5% (151) of which related to the elderly. The majority of those affected lived in Fortaleza (85.6%), were aged between 60 and 69 years (86.8%), were male (60.9%), brown (61.6%), had a level of schooling below unfinished elementary (42%), were heterosexual (85.4%) and had a marital status of married (29.3%). The proportion of male/female cases peaked in 2005 (5.5: 1) and declined thereafter reaching an average value of 0.8: 1 in the period between 2008 and 2011, then increased again, reaching 3.3: 1 in 2014. The highest coefficients were observed in the groups with lower schooling. Conclusion: according to the notifications during the period evaluated, AIDS among the elderly showed a tendency of growth among men, aged between 60 and 69 years old, who were heterosexual, less educated and married. This justifies the strengthening of specific strategies aimed at this population with the objective of tackling the disease.

Bettendorff, Franck. "L’école inclusive et les dispositifs pour élèves à « besoins éducatifs particuliers » : scolarisation ou scolarité ? : l’exemple des EFIV ou la déconstruction d’une catégorie scolaire essentialiste." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022PA080010.
Abstract:
Le phénomène des difficultés de scolarisation d’élèves nommés depuis 2012 “enfants issus de familles itinérantes et de voyageurs” (EFIV) par le Ministère de l’Éducation nationale conduit à interroger une catégorie publique, les politiques et les dispositifs les concernants. La recherche présentée est une analyse à l’échelle d'un département où a été menée une politique de scolarisation de ce public pendant plus de dix ans. En interrogeant des catégories des recherches qui ont servi par le passé à analyser la non-scolarisation des enfants “du voyage” ou de “Tsiganes”, l’analyse déconstruit les explications anthropologiques de résistance à l’écrit, à l’objectivation et aux savoirs scolaires. S’appuyant sur une enquête qualitative principalement par entretiens auprès de collégiens et de parents, l’analyse met également en évidence que les situations des élèves ne se réduisent aux seules pratiques familiales ; mais intègrent également les rôles différenciés des élèves, en relation avec la diversité de leurs rapports à l’école, aux savoirs et à l’avenir ; et le rôle des institutions scolaires elles-mêmes. Puisque des élèves demeurent peu scolarisés et d’autres, bien que scolarisés n’apprennent pas les savoirs du collège, il a été nécessaire de distinguer la scolarité (la fréquentation des savoirs par les élèves) de la notion de scolarisation (la présence en classe). Enfin, à partir de l’analyse d’un corpus documentaire et d’entretiens avec des agents, la thèse étudie l’action institutionnelle comme un dispositif et interroge la politique de l’école inclusiveThe phenomenon of inconstant school attendance by pupils who have been termed “EFIV” (“children of itinerant and transient families”) since 2012 by the French Ministry of Education has led us to question not only a public classification but also policies and apparatuses pertaining to them. The research presented herein is a department-wide analysis of an area where a school attendance policy for this group has been applied for over ten years. By questioning the categories of research which in the past served to assess sporadic school attendance by “traveler” or “Gypsy” children, this analysis deconstructs the anthropological explanations concerning resistance to writing, to objectivating processes and to scholastic skills. Based on a qualitative survey mainly established via interviews with middle school children and their parents, the analysis likewise indicates how pupils’ situations cannot be reduced to mere family practices alone but also integrates the pupils’ differentiated roles, as per the diversity of their relationships to school, to scholastic knowledge and to the future. This same analysis also covers the roles played by the scholastic institutions themselves. Since some pupils remain insufficiently schooled, while others, even though attending school, never acquire middle school knowledge sets, it was necessary to create a distinction between schooling (the pupils’ use of scholastic knowledge) and school attendance (their presence in class). Last of all, through the analysis of a collection of documents and interviews with personnel, this thesis explores institutional action as an apparatus and challenges the policy of “the inclusive school”

Gelman, Susan A., and Elizabeth A. Ware. Conceptual Development: The Case of Essentialism. Edited by Eric Margolis, Richard Samuels, and Stephen P. Stich. Oxford University Press, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780195309799.013.0019.
Abstract:
The article focuses on conceptual development in children. There are two primary components to psychological essentialism, which include the belief that certain categories are natural kinds and the belief that there is some unobservable property. Psychologists examine the psychological representations of concepts whereas philosophers have examined essentialism with the goal of addressing a range of issues such as psychological, semantic, and metaphysical. The study of essentialism in children provides insights into children's cognition and information regarding the roots of human concepts. Essentialism includes several component beliefs, including that categories have sharp, immutable boundaries, that category members share deep, nonobvious commonalities, and that category membership has an innate, genetic, or biological basis. Kamp and Partee suggest that categories are seen with absolutely sharp boundaries only in abstract domains. Essentialism does not require that categories be treated as absolute but essentialism is the claim that category boundaries are intensified. Essentialism emerges early and consistently, does not require formal schooling, and if anything may be even stronger in early childhood than later. The detailed studies of parental input to children about categories also suggest that parents do not provide explicit instruction about essentialist beliefs.

Whyman, Susan E. Introduction. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198797838.003.0001.
Abstract:
The introduction shows the convergence and intertwining of the Industrial Revolution and the provincial Enlightenment. At the centre of this industrial universe lay Birmingham; and at its centre was Hutton. England’s second city is described in the mid-eighteenth century, and Hutton is used as a lens to explore the book’s themes: the importance of a literate society shared by non-elites; the social category of ‘rough diamonds’; how individuals responded to economic change; political participation in industrial towns; shifts in the modes of authorship; and an analysis of social change. The strategy of using microhistory, biography, and the history of the book is discussed, and exciting new sources are introduced. The discovery that self-education allowed unschooled people to participate in literate society renders visible people who were assumed to be illiterate. This suggests that eighteenth-century literacy was greater than statistics based on formal schooling indicate.

A Theoretical Analysis & Case Study Paper in One of Abu Dhabi Private Schools." In Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering, 97–106. Cham: Springer Nature Switzerland, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-27462-6_9.
Abstract:
AbstractThis paper is a theoretical research study examining the feasibility of implementation of skills-based curriculum model as it relates to the UAE in comparison to other countries. Through this Paper, the researcher made a conceptual analysis, revisited the relevant literature, and identified the theoretical framework of curriculum reform in the UAE educational system with a view on the intended development of curriculum from the conventional subject-based model into the more futuristic and aspiring skills-based in Abu Dhabi schooling environment. The results showed that educational authorities in the UAE should place their focus on an enhanced model of skills-based curriculum, generally known in the literature as the “attained curriculum” category, as an enhanced model of skills-based curriculum to achieve meaningful learning.

"Mortality due to Diabetes Mellitus in northeastern Brazil from 2014 to 2018." In Harmony of Knowledge: Exploring Interdisciplinary Synergie. Seven Editora, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.56238/sevened2023.006-137.
Abstract:
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders marked by hyperglycemia, and is classified into several subtypes. It is currently a major challenge for the world's health systems, with a progressive increase in impact due to urbanization and industrialization, as a result of unhealthy lifestyle habits. This metabolic disorder is among the five main mortality risks in the world, and can trigger acute or chronic complications in the cardiovascular, renal and neurological system, usually with targeted changes in organs, specifically, heart, kidneys, brain and blood vessels in general. This study aims to analyze the mortality from Diabetes Mellitus in the Brazilian Northeast Region between the years 2014 to 2018, through an epidemiological study of time series, with secondary data DATASUS- Ministry of Health, with research of the variables: sex, race, education, age group, marital status, place of occurrence, Northeast, ICD-10 category, diabetes. The data will be expressed in absolute numbers, percentages and descriptive statistics. 101,636 cases were found, 56% of which were female and the highest number, respectively, in the states of Bahia and Pernambuco. Most deaths are concentrated in the category of non-conventional diabetes mellitus, followed by the non-insulin-dependent and insulin-dependent category. As for education, 35% of deaths are in the category of no schooling and 23% with 1 to 3 years of study. Regarding the age group, most deaths are observed from the age of 80, with an increase in the number as the age group increases. There is a prevalence of 58% of deaths in the brown race, followed by white and black race, respectively. Most deaths occurred in married people, with 39% of cases, followed by widowers, 29%, and singles 24%. The most registered place of occurrence was in the hospital, with 63% of deaths and 31% in another health establishment. The epidemiological profile outlined points to the need for articulation of regionalized and peculiar strategies, with health promotion and education, aiming at better management of DM and reduction of mortality rates, especially those of early age groups.

Abstract:
Progressive-era child welfare reforms delimited access to rights and protections by chronological age: from child labor, compulsory schooling, and the juvenile court to age of consent and eligibility for benefits under workmen’s compensation and mother’s pension programs.All of these reforms worked together to make chronological age into an essential means of marking the boundaries of childhood. As a result, age became an essential category of administration in the modern, bureaucratic state. In the case of child labor law enforcement, between 1900 and 1940, reformers successfully urged both state legislatures and the federal government to eliminate affidavits of age and to rely instead on paper records and government-issued documents, ranked in order of reliability. At the top of the list was the birth certificate. The use of birth certificates to enforce child labor law fostered a new and important role for the birth certificate as a technology to establish individual identity and to uniformly administer rights, entitlements, and protections according to chronological age.

Abstract:
Abstract Readers of Edith Wharton have for some years recognized her appreciation of—and affinity with—Darwin and Darwinism, which was a major part of her self-schooling in the sciences, especially between 1906 and 1908. Accordingly, in The Custom of the Country, Ralph Marvell’s analysis of social dislocation employs a Darwinian heuristic to present a precis of the plot dynamic. A son of Old New York and an important figure in the novel, Ralph declares traditional families like his own to be a species endangered by the late nineteenth-century nouveau riche “invading race,” by which Wharton means a line of descent, not a genetic category. As a young aspirant poet-critic, who is newly appreciative of his heritage, Ralph understands his family and their cohorts to be casualties of a recent historical-evolutionary rupture. The new modern, invasive “race” of plutocrats, with their headquarters on Wall Street and their domiciles on Fifth Avenue, are fast conquering an enervated Old New York comprised of the ladies and gentlemen of Washington Square. Ralph assesses the invaders’ “modern tendencies” as a deplorable “chaos of indiscriminate appetites” from the monetary to the gustatory, these over and against the moderate and temperate “coherent and respectable” ideals of his family’s waning Old New York (N, 669). More than social change or a reversible decline in mores and manners, this phenomenon is a Darwinian process of encroachment and extinction. As a record of the contest between base and higher morality, The Custom of the Country is arguably Wharton’s most thoroughgoing socially Darwinian narrative.

Pallaver, Günther, and Guido Denicolò. "Dual Citizenship in Italy: An Ambivalent and Contradictory Issue." In Dual Citizenship and Naturalisation. Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1553/978oeaw87752_chapt09.
Abstract:
The discussion about dual citizenship in Italy was and is determined by a dominant theme. Primarily, this topic is related to questions of migration, in the sense of both emigration and immigration. After the Second World War, the problem of Italians in areas “lost in war” was added to this. Under these conditions, this chapter examines the case of Italy with a focus on the evolution of its citizenship law. Already in the first basic citizenship law of 1912 and although originally against dual citizenship, the young state wanted to maintain links with the large diaspora of Italian emigrants. Including Italians abroad as citizens across several generations was fully compatible with an ethno-cultural conception of national identity. Italy also permits the so-called italiani oriundi – i.e. persons of Italian ancestry living permanently abroad – to regain Italian citizenship if they can prove that none of their direct ancestors has explicitly renounced Italian citizenship. The second group of residents abroad for whom Italy promotes the restoration of citizenship are ethnic Italians in the neighbouring territories of Slovenia and Croatia, lost after World War II. Unlike for the italiani oriundi, these latter groups must establish a certain familiarity with the Italian culture and language. The final category discussed in the chapter are non-Italian immigrants whose numbers have been growing substantially since the 1990s. Although dual citizenship is tolerated in residence-based naturalisations, these are comparatively rare. Initiatives by the centre-left to introduce moderate forms of ius soli or ius culturae (naturalisation based on years of schooling) for the second generation have not thus far been successful.

Abstract:
As part of Commonwealth of Learning’s (COL) strategic plan from 2021 to 2027, its open schooling portfolio focuses on children/youths in need of schooling opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa. This category of children is referred to as Out-of-School-Children (OOSC), depicting children/youth excluded from education, which makes up about one-sixth of the global population of this age group. This study reports on COL's commissioned project in the African Commonwealth countries, with a special emphasis on girls to help it to better focus its efforts. The study was undertaken in two phases. Data analysis involved simple descriptive statistics and transcription of recorded interviews, the identification of themes and sub-themes and coding. Both findings were triangulated. Generally, the findings show common threads, for instance, gender inequality that pervades the data, with the female gender being at a disadvantage in most of the countries. Given the multi-layered challenge of OOSC, recommendations were made on school enrolments and persistence among primary and secondary school children, ICT-in-education, disabilities, the marginalised, teenage pregnancy, and climate change education. In collaboration with education experts, COL looks forward to developing interventions to address the matter of OOSC in member countries.

"Epidemiological profile and temporal trend of mortality from cerebrovascular diseases in Northeast of Brazil, 1996-2016." In XIII Congresso Paulista de Neurologia. Zeppelini Editorial e Comunicação, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5327/1516-3180.600.
Abstract:
Background: Cerebrovascular diseases represent the second leading cause of mortality in the world and Brazil occupies the leadership in the ranking of mortality in South America. Objectives: This study sought to analyze the sociodemographic profile and the time trend of the mortality rate from cerebrovascular disease in the Northeast of Brazil, 1996-2016. Methods: This is an ecological study of time series involving deaths from cerebrovascular diseases in the Northeastern of Brazil, 1996-2016. Sociodemographic variables (age, schooling, marital status, skin color, ICD category and federation units) were included and calculated crude and standardized mortality rates, according to gender and age group. A joinpoint regression model was applied for the temporal analysis, with a level of significance of 5%. Results: There were 490.433 deaths from cerebrovascular diseases in the Northeast of Brazil, 1996-2016. Of these deaths, 50,03% (n = 245.354) were women, 79,72% (n = 390.957) elderly, 46,66% (n = 228.851) brown, 51,81% (n = 332.439) illiterate and 37,93% (n = 186.014) were married. Of the causes of death, 56,63% (n = 277.741) resulted from stroke, not specified as hemorrhagic or ischemic (I64). In the Northeast, there was a predominance of the elderly population, with growth of 1.2% (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Standardized mortality increased in four states, being higher in Maranhão and Piauí, with a predominance of females and age equal to or above 60 years.

Abstract:
Historically, education in South Africa has been beset by inequality. Over the last few decades, however, the landscape of South African government schooling has evolved considerably since its distinctive, racially-defined origins. This is largely due to reforms in the education sector, which played a key role in attempting to redress the injustices of the Apartheid system. Since its inception in 1929, the Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa (ISASA) has envisioned a value-based and quality education for all learners, irrespective of race, creed or culture. Thus, the media exposure in 2020, which revealed the prevalence of racist practices in approximately 26 prominent independent schools in South Africa was startling, as these discriminatory acts contradicted the vision of ISASA. One such school, which came into the spotlight was Excel College* (pseudonym), an independent school in Gauteng Province, South Africa. In response to the accusations, the school management launched an immediate investigation to address the allegations of racial discrimination against its students of colour. A whole-school Racial Intervention Programme (referred to as RDI – Respect, Diversity and Inclusivity) was designed and implemented early in 2021. This qualitative study, which comprised eight student leaders, sought to investigate how these student leaders experienced the intervention programme. The study sought to explore student leaders’ perceptions of the rationale behind the implementation of the Racial Intervention Programme (RIP), and of the racial climate in their school, and how they felt about the allegations of racism levelled against their school. The study further sought to investigate the extent to which student leaders felt their experience of the RIP had sensitised them to the need to promote racial inclusivity in their school. Data for the study were collected by conducting individual, online semi-structured interviews, using participants’ diaries, and holding a Focus Group session. The study drew on the tenets of the Critical Race Theory (De La Garza & Ono, 2016; Delgado & Stefançic, 2000; Dixon & Rousseau, 2006; Gillborn, 2015) and Paulo Freire’s conception of Critical Consciousness (1970). Proponents of the Critical Race Theory argue that race is neither a naturally nor biologically grounded feature of human beings; but rather, a socially constructed and culturally invented category that is used to oppress and exploit people of colour. Freire’s Critical Consciousness involves identifying contradictions in the experiences of others, through dialogue to contribute to change. The study confirmed that there were allegations of racism at the school, and that many of the students had been victims of – or had witnessed – an act of racial discrimination. Despite overwhelming support for RIP, the initiative was criticised for moving slowly, being teacher-centric and syllabus-driven; and that initially, it did not appreciate students’ contribution. However, during the seven weeks of the programme (which this study reports on), participants reported grasping the purpose of the programme – which was to encourage courageous conversations about inclusion, exclusion, racism and diversity.

Abstract:
We analyze the relationship between education and employment in Suriname, using data from a 2007 IDB household survey (representative nationally and at the level of three macro areas: Urban Coast, Rural Coast and Interior). We find that education brings returns in terms of both likelihood of employment (particularly for women) and higher earnings. Completed primary, junior secondary, senior secondary and tertiary education increase the probability of employment by 12%, 19%, 86% and 84% respectively, relative to the base category of no-schooling or incomplete primary. In addition, senior secondary and tertiary education lead to 46% and 81% higher earnings, relative to peer individuals with junior secondary education or less. These returns to education are relatively high in the context of the Caribbean. Nonetheless, higher educational achievements are associated with a transition towards public sector jobs, suggesting that the private sector is scarcely dynamic, and unable to attract skilled workers.
