This report discusses five main policy levers and their effect on process quality, focusing particularly on curriculum and pedagogy, and workforce development. It presents indicators covering 26 countries and jurisdictions, 56 different curriculum frameworks, and more than 120 different types of ECEC settings.

This document discusses using CLASS observations to provide feedback to teachers as a way to promote professional growth. It emphasizes that teacher-child interactions are key to improving student outcomes. Effective feedback involves identifying areas of focus, providing specific examples from observations, and asking reflective questions.

B.ed, 2nd Islamic system of education pptSajida Rehman
Islamic education is based on the Quran and hadith and aims to develop students spiritually and morally in addition to academically. It includes both religious and worldly knowledge. Historically, Islamic education was organized through primary maktab schools attached to mosques and higher-level madrasa institutions. Madrasas taught both religious subjects like Quran and Islamic law as well as secular subjects like literature, history, mathematics and science. The goal of Islamic education was to help students know Allah and live according to Islamic principles.
This document summarizes the history of education in Islamic civilization from the earliest days of Islam to modern times. It discusses how the Quran and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad emphasized the importance of seeking knowledge. Muslims then built great libraries, schools, and universities where both religious and secular subjects were taught to children and adults of all backgrounds. However, with the influence of European powers in modern times, traditional Islamic education systems declined in favor of a more secular, European-style model, though some institutions have continued the older traditions.
Education is essential for progress and change. It creates new wants and enables people to satisfy them. Education makes people better citizens by teaching them about their history, culture, and values. It ensures a productive future by providing skills and training for competitive jobs. Education also opens new perspectives, broadens awareness, helps with decision making, and strengthens confidence.

CIPS CIO breakfast presentation March 5 2009.
Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity – that’s the world we live in – it’s a VUCA world. This talk will explore how IT can provide strategic vision and dilemma management that will enable their companies to maintain sustainable growth during this tumultuous economic downturn.
The process of strategic leadership and decision making is more vital than ever, companies will either succeed or fail and it will happen faster than ever. As leaders, we cannot predict the future, but we can certainly provoke it by using a “foresight-to-insight-to-action” approach in sensing the future to compete in the present.

APM event held on 9 July in Bristol.
Speaker: Roy Millard
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome back to Bristol Roy Millard, of APM’s Assurance Interest Group on 9 July 2024, to talk about project reviews and hopefully answer all your questions.
Roy outlined his extensive career and his experience in setting up the APM’s Assurance Specific Interest Group, as they were known then.
Using Mentimeter, he asked a number of questions of the audience about their experience of project reviews and what they wanted to know.
Roy discussed what a project review was and examined a number of definitions, including APM’s Bok: “Project reviews take place throughout the project life cycle to check the likely or actual achievement of the objectives specified in the project management plan”
Why do we do project reviews? Different stakeholders will have different views about this, but usually it is about providing confidence that the project will deliver the expected outputs and benefits, that it is under control.
There are many types of project reviews, including peer reviews, internal audit, National Audit Office, IPA, etc.
Roy discussed the principles behind the Three Lines of Defence Model:, First line looks at management controls, policies, procedures, Second line at compliance, such as Gate reviews, QA, to check that controls are being followed, and third Line is independent external reviews for the organisations Board, such as Internal Audit or NAO audit.
Factors which affect project reviews include the scope, level of independence, customer of the review, team composition and time.
Project Audits are a special type of project review. They are generally more independent, formal with clear processes and audit trails, with a greater emphasis on compliance. Project reviews are generally more flexible and informal, but should be evidence based and have some level of independence.
Roy looked at 2 examples of where reviews went wrong, London Underground Sub-Surface Upgrade signalling contract, and London’s Garden Bridge. The former had poor 3 lines of defence, no internal audit and weak procurement skills, the latter was a Boris Johnson vanity project with no proper governance due to Johnson’s pressure and interference.
Roy discussed the principles of assurance reviews from APM’s Guide to Integrated Assurance (Free to Members), which include: independence, accountability, risk based, and impact, etc
Human factors are important in project reviews. The skills and knowledge of the review team, building trust with the project team to avoid defensiveness, body language, and team dynamics, which can only be assessed face to face, active listening, flexibility and objectively.
