Kolumbiens Studenten haben beschlossen, nach der Erfüllung von drei Bedingungen ihren Streik zu beenden. Nach zweitägiger Debatte entschieden die Studenten am Sonntagabend (Ortszeit) in Bogota, den Streik nicht fortzusetzen, wenn die Regierung ihre kontroverse Hochschulreform zurücknimmt, sich verpflichtet, mit den Studenten ein neues Projekt auszuarbeiten, und das Recht der Studenten auf öffentlichen Protest gewährleistet. Die Regierung hat bereits den Bedingungen fast vollständig zugestimmt.

The General Secretary of EI, Fred van Leeuwen, sent a letter of protest to the President of Benin, denouncing “the way in which the government of Benin has been disregarding trade unions and their members rights for some months now.” He also sent a letter of support directly from EI to the member unions in Benin. Together with 30 other partners, including the International Council on Education for Teaching, UNESCO and higher education institutions, EI is working to build a global network that brings together education and public policy leaders to develop communication across national boundaries on initiatives to improve teaching quality and excellence. Publicly funded choice mechanisms in education help overcome school failure and reduce inequities, according to a new study on school choice and equity by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Decolonising our universities: another world is desirable « GlobalHigherEd
July 22, 2011 by globalhighered
Is the spread of the Western higher education model around the world evidence that repressive colonialism is alive and well in academe? Apparently so, according to a statement issued by participants in the International Conference on Decolonizing Our Universities, held recently at the Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang. The authors of the manifesto, which I read about last week in GlobalHigherEd , minced no words in describing the alleged harm done to universities outside the West by “the tutelage and tyranny of Western institutions.”
