In the present days, education has a crucial role for development of contemporary society, because, in this way, it can perpetuate itself and can transmit, from a generation to the next one, the accumulated experience about humanity and reality. Considerate as a “Key-factor” for progress, the educational process from learning institutions can provide well-prepared labour work for all domains of activity and stimulate the intellectual curiosity, adapted capacity, creativity and innovation as well. Unfortunately, not every pupil (and their family) could understand the importance of formal education for their personal / professional development and for the progress of society. But from personal, social or economical reasons, many pupils prefer to leave the school before to graduate it with diploma. In the present study, we intend to analyze the pupils’ attitude regarding to formal education in connection with teaching / learning activity, inter-personal relationship with colleagues or professors, so on and also, we try to identify some solutions for helping pupils to remain in school until they graduate with diploma. The sample was composed by 500 pupils who study in secondary level from 5 schools from Bihor county, Romania. The instrument was represented by a questionnaire composed from 37 items and the period of research was during the present academic year (2011 / 2012). The results of our study prove that, if pupils would be more involved in taking decision at their school level, or in didactic process and if they get any economic support, are increasing the chance for them to stay in educational system and be able to invest personal effort and material resources in their life development.

The meaning of responsibility, especially in young adults, plays an important role in contemporary life. It has an impact on the family life, social relations, ways of a work performance and many other aspects. The problem of taking responsibility by present-day people is discussed on different levels and in different areas. The point of view of adult learners of the formal education system still remains overlooked in academic discourse. This article presents adult learners’ understanding of the concept of adulthood and its important component, responsibility. The present study examined opinions of learners attending upper secondary school for adults, using the phenomenography method. In anonymous survey with open-ended questions, 94 voluntary participants (aged 18–63) took part. This qualitative study examined how adult learners begin to recognize the importance of a sense of responsibility for themselves and how it influences their life. The results of the study indicate the traditional understanding of the concept of adulthood by adult learners. Personal development, as a result of a variety of life experiences, makes increase of the importance of responsibility for themselves, their family and surrounding. Though different life difficulties, awkwardness, lack of autonomy, the value of responsibility becomes more significant.

Regardless of the international obligations there is a strong governmental policy in the United Kingdom supporting the education for sustainable development (ESD) at the national, regional and local level. In 2002, the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority identified seven key concepts relating to ESD, which provide opportunities for pupils to learn and develop their understanding of ESD. The next important step was the strong commitment towards education for sustainability undertaken by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (now the Department for Education) which includes a plan that every school be a sustainable school by 2020. To help that commitment to be successful this department has established a National Framework which comprises three interlocking parts: a commitment to care; an integrated approach; a selection of eight sustainability “doorways”. The practice of the British schools is affected by the governmental approach. The clear evidence of that is most of the schools decide to put ESD in the heart of school’s life by participation in the programme of eco-schools. Most of British schools have registered for the programme (90%), 1579 got the highest award (“Green flag”), 4774 got the silver award and 5079 got the bronze award.

The article constitutes a short revision of the views of the philosopher Martha Nussbaum concerning general education at American and European universities. Economic changes in developed countries resulted in the fact that governments of many states see the education of students on humanistic and social specializations as unproductive for the economy and a burden for the budget. The presentation of the Nussbaum position on formal education introduces a new cognitive element into the debate which is conducted also in Poland, and is regarding the kind and form of education of students in higher education institutions.
PL
Artykuł stanowi krótką rewizję poglądów filozofki Marthy Nussbaum, dotyczących kształcenia ogólnego na uniwersytetach amerykańskich i europejskich. Zmiany gospodarcze w krajach rozwiniętych spowodowały, że rządy wielu państw postrzegają kształcenie studentów na kierunkach humanistycznych i społecznych za bezproduktywne dla gospodarki i zbyt obciążające dla budżetu. Przedstawienie stanowiska Nussbaum wobec edukacji formalnej wprowadza nowy element poznawczy do debaty, która toczy się również w Polsce, a dotyczy rodzaju i formy kształcenia studentów na uczelniach wyższych.

Variability of interpretation of concept of informal education from a position of the researchers of German-speaking countries is shown in the article, namely Germany, Austria, Switzerland and others. It is defined that education throughout life contains certain types of training: formal, non-formal and informal. It is proved that the concept of informal education has wide variability of the interpretation, its essence consists in existence of a certain organized, systematic educational activity which is carried out behind the territory of a formal education system for a guarantee to the chosen (certain) types of training of separate subgroups of the population, both adults, and children. The terms «formal», «non-formal» and «informal» serve the systematization and description of the multifaceted learning processes that may occur consciously or by chance in various contexts and be organized in very different ways; their use however is still not uniform. The terms have been discussed extensively, including in the feasibility study prepared as part of the «Lifelong learning passport with certification of informal learning». For the Commission of the European Communities on the other hand formal and non-formal learning are unequivocally intentional, informal learning is “not necessarily” so. Informal learning thus takes place in all life contexts; it may be intentional and directed but also, as in most cases, be done quite incidentally. It does not usually lead to any certification. Non-formal learning processes on the other hand under the EU’s definition take place outside the main systems of general and vocational education and may, but do not have to, lead to formal certificates. The definition used by the OECD in the guidelines for this activity defines different boundaries: Formal learning refers to learning through a programme of instruction in an educational institution, adult training center or in the workplace, which is generally recognized in a qualification or a certificate. Non-formal learning refers to learning through a programme but is not usually evaluated and does not lead to a certification. Informal learning refers to learning resulting from daily work-related, family or leisure activities. The main criterion that differentiates formal learning from the other two forms of learning for the OECD is the qualification and certification of learning. This means that CET resulting in a recognized certificate counts as formal learning. Non-formal learning also takes place in organized contexts but is generally not a subject to evaluation or certification – and hence does not lead to an entitlement. The OECD’s definition of informal learning primarily targets unintentional learning processes on the job, in the family or during leisure time.

Does it pay to invest in the education of children?

The work described here sought to determine whether parents’ investment in the education of children in Poland has an impact on the wages of the latter in adulthood. To answer this question, an extended Mincer wage equation was estimated using OLS on the basis of data from the nationwide tracer survey of Polish graduates conducted in 2007. Analysis shows that parental investment in the education of children has a strong, positive impact on first earnings after the end of formal education. This relationship is to be observed when the investment is depicted with educational level of each parent, as well as when represented by the child’s participation in various extracurricular activities. Furthermore, if any of the above measures of parental investment is included in the equation, the wage premium from each level of formal education decreases. In particular, when both these measures of parental investments are included in the model, the tertiary education premium declines by about one quarter, while secondary vocational or general education are no longer significant determinants of the graduates’ wages (as compared with basic vocational education).

Aim. The aim of the research is to investigate the relationship between formal education and female entrepreneurship in Uganda. This research hopes to contribute to the literature on education and women’s entrepreneurship in this country. Methods. Data is collected from 109 women through semi structured interviews. These are participants from the agribusiness sector and own businesses ranging from market stalls, retail shops to street businesses. Through the iterative process, emerging themes are analysed and discussed. Results. The research finds that formal education programs and macroeconomic policies negatively impact formal education and female entrepreneurship. Macroeconomic policies such as privatisation and the programs of universal formal education do not incentivize students (specifically female ones) to pursue a full formal education, influencing them to leave schools early for necessity entrepreneurship to meet immediate needs. Conclusions. Even though the study indicates that a formal education demonstrates high outcomes in terms of economic growth and development, the education level attained by women entrepreneurs is insufficient to meet true entrepreneurial success. Furthermore, the macroeconomic environment adds to the challenge of successful women entrepreneurship. Originality. Various economic initiatives have been implemented in the quest for gender parity in education and women empowerment in Uganda since its independence. Statistics have demonstrated an increase in women’s education and empowerment through entrepreneurship, however, such data do not necessarily reflect economic development. The results suggest that the relationship between formal education and women entrepreneurship is more complex and nuanced than previously believed.

Formal education can be a mechanism for increasing social tolerance, political transparency and cultural integration; thus, a discussion of the relationship between political and social instability and resultant struggle with comprehensive educational reform in Kurdistan is timely. This chapter, written by the two university presidents of the only American-style not-for-profit institutions in Kurdistan/Iraq, narrates the challenges the authors face in bringing high-quality education to a region of the world confronting civil unrest, continual violence and economic turmoil.

Nowadays we all are the witnesses of the rapid changes in technology around us, the changes in students’ learning attitudes and the new demands of the labour market. These features altogether are inducing a pronounced alteration in university education as well because educators are urged to give an adequate answer for these challenges to ensure an effective learning environment. The main goal is to strengthen motivation and the self-assessment of students towards learning – which is needed later in lifelong learning process too. It is commonly known how important the immediate, real-time feedback is in the learning process, however going back only thirty years we find out that only a very few types of evaluations – mainly summative evaluations – were used in practice. The paper is focused on the evaluation systems being modified in education, especially at ELTE Informatics Faculty, Hungary.

Students with profound intellectual disabilities are very demanding beneficiaries of education. They have been present in the Polish system of education since 1997. The most effective methods of their education still remain an open question and the question takes on an even greater significance in the context of the idea of integrated and inclusive education. The article will present the concept of ForMat education which may be successfully used both in special and inclusive education, at all educational levels. The essence of ForMat education is maintaining a balance between formal (supporting and improving particular areas of student’s functioning) and material (assimilation of cultural content) education.

Uczeń z głęboką niepełnosprawnością jest bardzo wymagającym beneficjentem edukacji. W polskim systemie edukacji pojawił się po raz pierwszy w 1997 roku. Od tego czasu otwartym nadal pozostaje pytanie o najbardziej efektywne metody jego kształcenia. Pytanie nabiera jeszcze większego znaczenia w kontekście idei edukacji integracyjnej i włączającej. W artykule zostanie przedstawiona koncepcja kształcenia z ForMatem, która może być z powodzeniem wykorzystana zarówno w ramach edukacji specjalnej, jak i inkluzyjnej, na każdym etapie edukacyjnym. Istotą kształcenia z ForMatem jest zachowanie równowagi pomiędzy kształceniem formalnym (wspieraniem i usprawnianiem poszczególnych sfer funkcjonowania ucznia), a materialnym (przyswajaniem przez niego treści kulturowych).
