On Their Own
Author: Stewart Crysdale
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773517855
Category : School-to-work transition
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Uses a sample of 324 young adults in four Canadian urban centers who left high school in the mid-1980s, as well as interviews with their parents, former teachers, and employers, to identify factors that ease the transition from school to work. Looks at factors such as level of education, social class, gender, and motivation, with emphasis on the importance of cooperative education. Suggests closer relations between school and work, such as exist in the UK and Sweden, to facilitate transition into the labor market. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Owners of Learning
Author: Jennifer Hays
Publisher: African Books Collective
ISBN: 3905758822
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
This book describes the Nyae Nyae Village Schools, an innovative and unique mother-tongue education initiative set in north-eastern Namibia. Inspired by the optimism of Independence, the project was designed in close consultation with the Ju|hoansi community in the early 1990s. Drawing upon their traditional knowledge transmission strategies, and initiated in a supportive political environment, the project exemplified best practice. During the following two decades, the Village Schools have transitioned from a donor-supported project to government schools, and have received much attention and support from donors, civil society organisations, researchers, and others.However, the students still do not seem to succeed in the mainstream schools. Why is this? Based on long-term field-work in the region, including interviews with Nyae Nyae residents over several years and work with involved organisations, the book addresses this question. Contextualising the Village Schools within post-Independence Namibia, southern African history and the global indigenous rights movement, it examines the enormous paradoxes that schooling presents for the Nyae Nyae community. Owners of Learning is the English translation of the Ju|hoansi word for teacher and it serves to highlight a fundamental question to whom does education belong?

Late-Life Homelessness
Author: Amanda Grenier
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0228009545
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Around the world and across a range of contexts, homelessness among older people is on the rise. In spite of growing media attention and new academic research on the issue, older people often remain unrecognized as a subpopulation in public policy, programs, and homeless strategies. As such, they occupy a paradoxical position of being hypervisible while remaining overlooked. Late-Life Homelessness is the first Canadian book to address this often neglected issue. Basing her analysis on a four-year ethnographic study of late-life homelessness in Montreal, Canada, Amanda Grenier uses a critical gerontological perspective to explore life at the intersection of aging and homelessness. She draws attention to disadvantage over time and how the condition of being unhoused disrupts a person’s ability to age in place, resulting in experiences of unequal aging. Weaving together findings from policy documents, stakeholder insights, and observations and interviews with older people, this book demonstrates how structures, organizational practices, and relationships related to homelessness and aging come to shape late life. Situated in the context of an aging population, rising inequality, and declining social commitments, Late-Life Homelessness stresses the moral imperative of responding justly to the needs of older people as a means of mitigating the unequal aging of unhoused elders.
