  • Mais le taux d’impayés est récemment grimpé à 45 % au lieu des 28% à 30% prévus lorsque la réforme a été adoptée
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
      Emmanuel Zilberberg on 30 Mar 14
       
      Les opportunités gagnées par le gouvernement étaient claires. L'internalisation d'un coût supplémentaire par les étudiants représentaient des coûts évités en se transformant en actifs financiers sous forme de prêts à très long termes accordés aux étudiants. Le risque est que ces prêts ne soient pas remboursés et qu'ils faillent transformer une partie de ces créances (45%) en charges (pertes sur créances irrécouvrables).
  • Le gouvernement a, dans le même temps, réduit de 40 % ses subventions à ces établissements et promis aux étudiants des prêts à taux avantageux, d’une durée maximale de trente ans, garantis par l’Etat
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
      Emmanuel Zilberberg on 30 Mar 14
       
      L'abondement des prêts par le gouvernment britannique est la contrepartie de la diminution des subventions aux établissements créant ainsi des besoins de financement qui seront financés par les frais de scolarité augmentés.
  • apprend que le service d’Etat chargé de recouvrer lesdits paiements est assez peu outillé et efficace
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
      Emmanuel Zilberberg on 30 Mar 14
       
      Une partie des coûts de financement de l'éducation évité est compensé par l'accroissement des coûts de recouvrement de ces prêts.

  • Un effet pourtant bien prévisible et néfaste de la forte augmentation des frais d’inscription est la baisse, en 2012-2013, du nombre d’étudiants : -5,5 %, soit 27 000 nouveaux étudiants de moins qu’en 2011-2012
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
      Emmanuel Zilberberg on 30 Mar 14
       
      De manière assez prévisible, la hausse des prix de l'éducation fait diminuer la demande. Quelle est dans ces conditions l'évolution de la marge contributive réalisée par les universités qui doivent couvrir des coûts fixes élevés.
  • de « full cost », qui consiste à faire payer aux étudiants le coût réel de leur enseignement
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
      Emmanuel Zilberberg on 30 Mar 14
       
      Il me semble que puisque le gouvernement britannique subventionne encore, bien que dans une proportion moindre, les universités, on ne peut prétendre qu'il s'agit d'une "expérimentation grandeur nature du concept de full cost"

  • The trend has not been limited to wealthy suburban districts. New York City, Chicago and many other urban districts also are buying large numbers of iPads.The iPads generally cost districts between $500 and $600, depending on what accessories and service plans are purchased.By comparison, Brookfield High in Connecticut estimates it spends at least that much yearly on every student's textbooks, not including graphing calculators, dictionaries and other accessories they can get on the iPads.
  • They include interactive programs to demonstrate problem-solving in math, scratchpad features for note-taking and bookmarking, the ability to immediately send quizzes and homework to teachers, and the chance to view videos or tutorials on everything from important historical events to learning foreign languages.They're especially popular in special education services, for children with autism spectrum disorders and learning disabilities, and for those who learn best when something is explained with visual images, not just through talking.Some advocates also say the interactive nature of learning on an iPad comes naturally to many of today's students, who've grown up with electronic devices as part of their everyday world.

  • the assumption that there is a single established body of mathematical skills that everyone needs to know to be prepared for 21st-century careers. This assumption is wrong. The truth is that different sets of math skills are useful for different careers, and our math education should be changed to reflect this fact.
  • Today, American high schools offer a sequence of algebra, geometry, more algebra, pre-calculus and calculus (or a “reform” version in which these topics are interwoven). This has been codified by the Common Core State Standards, recently adopted by more than 40 states. This highly abstract curriculum is simply not the best way to prepare a vast majority of high school students for life.
  • A math curriculum that focused on real-life problems would still expose students to the abstract tools of mathematics, especially the manipulation of unknown quantities. But there is a world of difference between teaching “pure” math, with no context, and teaching relevant problems that will lead students to appreciate how a mathematical formula models and clarifies real-world situations.

  • For instance, how often do most adults encounter a situation in which they need to solve a quadratic equation? Do they need to know what constitutes a “group of transformations” or a “complex number”? Of course professional mathematicians, physicists and engineers need to know all this, but most citizens would be better served by studying how mortgages are priced, how computers are programmed and how the statistical results of a medical trial are to be understood.
  • Imagine replacing the sequence of algebra, geometry and calculus with a sequence of finance, data and basic engineering.
  • Traditionalists will object that the standard curriculum teaches valuable abstract reasoning, even if the specific skills acquired are not immediately useful in later life. A generation ago, traditionalists were also arguing that studying Latin, though it had no practical application, helped students develop unique linguistic skills. We believe that studying applied math, like learning living languages, provides both useable knowledge and abstract skills.
  • In math, what we need is “quantitative literacy,” the ability to make quantitative connections whenever life requires (as when we are confronted with conflicting medical test results but need to decide whether to undergo a further procedure) and “mathematical modeling,” the ability to move practically between everyday problems and mathematical formulations (as when we decide whether it is better to buy or lease a new car).

  • Une équipe mystérieuse
  • Menacé par les services secrets américains et par tous les acteurs qu'il bouscule, WikiLeaks se protège. Pas de bureau ou d'adresse physique : seule une boîte postale à l'université de Melbourne, ainsi que des adresses e-mail anonymisées permettent aux informateurs de contacter l'équipe.
  • L'infrastructure technique, parfois en peine par manque de financement, est basée en Suède, chez un hébergeur lié au très controversé The Pirate Bay. D'autres serveurs sont répartis dans le monde entier,
  • le budget annuel de 600.000 dollars n'en est pas pour autant bouclé.
  • Le porte-parole, Julian Assange, a toutefois mis en place un comité éditorial restreint, dont neuf noms sont dévoilés. Parmi eux, Wang Dan, l'un des 21 étudiants "les plus recherchés" par la Chine après les manifestations de Tiananmen en 1989, le Britannique Ben Laurie, génie mondialement reconnu de la cryptographie, ou encore le Brésilien Chico Whitaker, cofondateur du Forum social mondial.
  • WikiLeaks a travaillé avec des élus islandais sur l'Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI)
  • Son objectif dans la vie ? "Provoquer ou orienter des réformes politiques", en révélant des informations jusque-là cachées aux citoyens. Un peu comme ce qu'avait fait son modèle, Daniel Ellsberg, en 1971 : cet ancien analyste de la RAND Corporation (un très influent think tank américain) avait alors transmis à la presse les "Pentagon papers"

Yet most schools have spent at least that on ICT and get nothing obvious in return - aside from a few hundred PCs running Windows XP and a handful of smart gadgets."

  • In Turkey we are about to start 1 to 1 netbook for 15.000.000 students with $ 7 per month installments for 36 months through credit cards. I knew technology would change until we complete to provide 15.000.000 netbooks. So I will write to Marvel. We can finance them, we can buy the first 1.000.000 netbooks at $ 120 per piece. I hope quality and functions are as they say . Hurra, education complainers. It is time to go online courses for 60 million USA K12 students. You have no excuse now.
  • We have dealt with Tablet PC before in one of our Smart School initiatives here in Malaysian and I must say the Moby Tablet is quite impressive.
