Ofsted

學術刊物可以由社團法人主持嗎?

HC:「它的發行目標,如果是要求由國科會的學術刊物評等用,那麼,論文的質量,必須由學界負責&&&

英國的教育品管單位

最近日本強調的公民教育是「愛國」;英國的呢?

BBC報導:「有關公民教育的檢討報告稱,英格蘭學校在促進多元文化的同時,應該教導學生什麼是"英國核心價值"

檢討英國學校公民教育和提倡多元文化的研究發現,現行的教育裡面,有關英國意識形態和歷史的內容不夠充分。報告說,學校應該教導學生凝聚英國人的精神。

檢討報告說,學生應該多學習英國的歷史,還有容忍、尊重等英國價值是如何發展出來的。

公民教育從2002年起成為英格蘭中學的必修課程,但是去年標準教育辦公室(Ofsted)督導發現,有四分之一的中學沒有做好公民教育課程。」

標準教育辦公室(Ofsted是什麼單位?

它是直屬於國會(而非行政系統的)的督查單位。

這單位強調 INSPECTION

它一直在擴充範圍(英國單位何其複雜!):原先 Ofsted代表.The Office for Standards in Education,

不過,即將包括成人教育等而改稱The Office for Standards in Education, Children Services and Skills 。只是簡稱Ofsted. 未變。

Children Services and Skills but it will continue to be known as Ofsted is the inspectorate for children and learners in England. It is our job to contribute to the provision of better education and care through effective inspection and regulation.

We achieve this through a comprehensive system of inspection and regulation, covering childcare, schools, colleges, children's services, teacher training and youth work. Each week, we carry out hundreds of inspections and regulatory visits, helping professionals in education and childcare make a difference to the lives of children and young people.

We are a non-ministerial government department accountable to Parliament. Our independence means you can rely on us for impartial information about the quality of education and care.

From April 2007 Ofsted's remit will be expanded to include the children's services work of the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI), together with the Children and Families Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS) inspection remit of Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Court Administration (HMICA) and the inspection work of the Adult Learning Inspectorate (ALI). The organisation's full title will change to The Office for Standards in Education, Children Services and Skills but it will continue to be known as Ofsted.
