Chris Cantell Discusses Education: Velka Britania pomoze detom s dysleksiou Romana Schlesingerova


Deti s dysleksiou dostanu extra pomoc od anglickeho parlamentu a jeho 3 milionoveho rozpoctu. Vlada tvrdi, ze polovica studentov z 10tich oblasti bude moct vyuzit hodiny citania, alebo pomoc osobneho specialistu, odbornika na dysleksiu. Ak bude tento system uspesny, rozsiri sa neskor po celom Anglicku. Organizacie, ktore pomahaju dyslektikom, dostali takisto financne granty. Sekretar skoly Ed Balls povedal, ze nedostatok porozumenia v minulosti ovplyvnoval inteligentnych mladych ludi a posuval ich dozadu. " V minulosti sme mladych inteligentnych ludi akokeby odstavili, kvoli ich dysleksii, pretoze mali problem v citani a artikulacii," povedal. "Tieto dni sa uz skoncili, ale stale v spolocnosti funguju urcite stare stigmy, okolo ktorych nie je este problem dysleksie dostatocne vysvetleny a ludia tazko chapu jedincov postuhnutych touto chorobou. "Tento stav by uz nikdy nemal obmedzit sance mladych ludi na uplatnenie a vzdelanie. Smutne je, ze sa to este stale deje. Musime sa zlepsovat pri odhalovani deti s dysleksiou a pri ich naslednom podporovani,"Podmienky ktore budu zverejnene spristupnia rodicom a ucitelom viac informacii, pomozu s odhalenim a pristupom k tymto studentom. Ti, ktori dostanu spominanu podporu nebudu mat uz narok na socialnu podporu. Niektori rodicia sa stazuju, ze specialna starostlivost nie je dostupna prave ich dietatu, pretoze nebolo oficialne diaknostikovane dyslektikom. Vlada Velkej Britanie dalej oznamila, ze udeluje specialny prispevok v hodnote 250 000 britskych libier organizacii Dyslexia Action, na obdobie 3 rokov a na zabezpecenie a rozsirenie spominaneho program pre dalsich 10 skol.

Standard qualification is declining Claudia Sonea


This year As results made teachers gasp in contempt. The 25.3 per cent of pupils that were awarded A grades reveals a year-on-year improvement. However, the critics sniff and say that it is not due to hard work and quality teaching, but to the decline of standard qualification. Schools minister Jim Knight stated the exact opposite and said that quality teaching and strong investment made everything possible. He added that the system reveals an increased number of people getting good advanced qualifications and that there will be a vital reform in the 14-19 education. As a challenge for the brighter students the A* grade will be introduced and on his list there are new projects, diplomas and a new curriculum. Liberal Democrat schools spokesman Stephen Williams was harsh with the critics and said that it is not appropriate to talk about the exams' difficulty while students are receiving their results; although a debate on this subject will take place. Claiming that prestigious science departments of universities are closing because of the lack of students, the spokesman pointed out that the present situation is harmful for the country's interests. The director of the Joint Council for Qualifications reveals that the results are the evidence of students' hard work and that everyone got the mark they deserved. The Examinations and Assessment chief executive of Ulster, North Ireland, was totally agreeing the directors view. In Wales took place an improvement too. No matter of other opinions, the students did great and they have to celebrate. If the examinations will be changed in the future, it will be great, but that won't minimize the results. A problem should not be how qualified they get inside universities, but what they are doing there.
