The demand for fee-paying secondary schools in the Republic of Ireland

Ireland’s fee-paying schools consistently rank highly in Ireland’s secondary school league tables. Evidence also notes that the alumni of fee-paying schools represent a large proportion of those in leadership positions in business, politics and the legal professions. This paper examines the factors that affect the decision of Irish households to enrol their children in fee-paying secondary schools in Ireland. The paper uses Irish Household Budget Survey data that cover three waves from the period 2004–2016. We examine the head of household’s education, occupation, income, marital status, the location of the household and temporal factors on the school choice decision. The main results indicate that fee-paying students are more likely to come from higher income, better educated and Dublin located households. This research highlights the significant driver that affluence may have in determining secondary school enrolment in Ireland. This self-selected affluent group effect may explain the performance disparities between fee-paying and non-fee-paying schools. The results enlighten any discussion around whether or not the Government should consider a transition to a fee-paying market or eliminate fee-paying schools altogether.

Formation and Modification of Notions ‘Revolution’ and ‘War’: Bulgarian Case

Related notions of war and revolution are not something primordial and constant. They are constructed and constantly changing. The paper traces some aspects of these processes in the mentality of the 19th and early 20th century Bulgarians, with attention to their Balkan context.
 The lack of the own state for a long period of time (1396–1878) determined the initial negative image of the war. For the Bulgarians of the late 18th and early 19th centuries a war was something definitely negative, as it brings death, troubles, and disasters; it was also something alien or external as only few of them were recruited in the Ottoman army. The wars between Russia and Ottoman Empire generated some hopes for independence among certain elite groups of society (although not so much among common people). The Greek War for Independence (started in 1821) and other uprisings in European dominions of Turkey had their impact on Bulgarians. The idea of revolution grew in the 1860s and 1870s within the group of radicals, mainly the alumni of Russian Universities and high schools. Literature played a serious role in this process, and April uprising (1876), not without some debates, was represented as ‘revolution’ in the last decades of the 19th century. The two notions were mixed after the Russian-Turkish Liberation War (1877–78), especially in later interpretations.
 The newly established Principality of Bulgaria lived in constant threat (real or imagined) of Ottoman invasion and soon got drawn into the war with Serbia (1885) which contributed to creating the fully positive image of a patriotic war. This image persisted during the First (1912–1913) and Second (1913) Balkan wars, called in Bulgaria ‘inter-allied’. The defeat motivated to shift the image of war from something patriotic to something making the ordinary people suffer. This was a gradual change catalyzed by the World War I (1914–18) that made the previous image problematic. The notion of revolution that was previously associated only with the past (1876, 1878) also shifted and became associated in some leftist minds with the future as well. First and still shy anti-war humanitarian ideas appeared; the last poems of Dimcho Debelianov (1887–1916), who died in the war, were the most representative examples of this trend.

PENDIDIKAN BISNIS MEMASUKI ERA MILENIUM BARU TANTANGAN DAN HARAPAN

As we enter the new millennium, business schools or economics faculties face a number of new challenges. The graduates of a business school are expected to be critical capable of 'learning to learn', technology-savy, and ethical. Mean while, the emergence of the internet as a new and powerful communication infrastructure has facilitated the rapid growth of the virtual business schools around globe. It leads to the global completion among processes, services, universies. As a consequence, Indonesian universies have to reform its products, processes, services, people, and environments. one of the 'best' approaches to do so is the adaptation of total quality management consep into higher education environment. This paper describes the profiles of future alumni of business schools, followed by a discussion on the emergence of virtual business schools as a new business education paradigm in the future. Finally, this paper tries to identify sereval factors critical to the successful implementation of total quality management in universities.

Promoting Self-Responsibility: Learning from Australian Maritime Engineering Student and Alumni in Developing Employability Competencies

The concept of Global Maritime Fulcrum has changed the national strategy to redevelop Indonesian maritime power, including the strategy of Indonesian Higher Education Institutions in preparing their graduates to enter the labour market. Learners as the centre of the competency development process should proactively take self-responsibility (SR) by participating in competency-enhancing activities to possess not only technical skills but also competencies related to knowledge, attitudes and non-technical skills. The purpose of this paper was to describe the concept of self-responsibility from the perspective of student and alumni of Australian Maritime Engineering Schools in their process to develop employability competency. Data were collected from 1056 participants through a web-based self-report questionnaire. The quantitative analyses have suggested that the participants highly appreciated the importance of SR. By internalized their extrinsic motivations into positive behaviours, students with a high level of SR tend to an effective capacity for managing their personal competency development. In addition, a self-responsible learner also has developed self-awareness of his/her contribution to the development process. Therefore, the SR practice that appears to be best developed in development environments that could help learners to possess a series of competencies that they will confront in their real-life situation. This study has the potential to enrich the development of maritime engineering education in Indonesia by suggesting that Indonesian students need to modify their cognitive structure and develop the capability to reconstruct their development environment.

Old Perseans and the Great War: a study in the alumni of a minor public school

This article will argue that the current historiography considers the ‘public school experience’ of the First World War too narrowly, and will emphasise that boys from a wide range of establishments experienced the war in a similar fashion to those at elite public schools. It will do this through a case study of the alumni of the Perse Grammar School, Cambridge. By approaching the experience of Perseans in a thematic fashion it will shed new light on how the alumni of schools just below and developing towards full public-school status were affected by the war, an area hitherto not fully explored.

The Decline and Persistence of the Old Boy: Private Schools and Elite Recruitment 1897 to 2016

We draw on 120 years of biographical data ( N = 120,764) contained within Who’s Who—a unique catalogue of the British elite—to explore the changing relationship between elite schools and elite recruitment. We find that the propulsive power of Britain’s public schools has diminished significantly over time. This is driven in part by the wane of military and religious elites, and the rise of women in the labor force. However, the most dramatic declines followed key educational reforms that increased access to the credentials needed to access elite trajectories, while also standardizing and differentiating them. Notwithstanding these changes, public schools remain extraordinarily powerful channels of elite formation. Even today, the alumni of the nine Clarendon schools are 94 times more likely to reach the British elite than are those who attended any other school. Alumni of elite schools also retain a striking capacity to enter the elite even without passing through other prestigious institutions, such as Oxford, Cambridge, or private members clubs. Our analysis not only points to the dogged persistence of the “old boy,” but also underlines the theoretical importance of reviving and refining the study of elite recruitment.

(Association) Football and Newfoundland’s national identity: 1878–1915

This article shows how (Association) football contributed to the development of a Newfoundland national identity in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Some clubs, the Natives and later Terra Nova and Cabot, went even further: they sought to overcome denominational cleavages, something the Newfoundland Natives’ Society had tried to do in the political field in the 1840s. In the end, their effort was unsuccessful because football on the island, in replicating the English model, came to be dominated by clubs formed by the alumni of the local denominational schools.

Tapping Into the Potential of African American Alumni of Urban Schools

The purpose of this study was to identify and understand how African American alumni of urban high schools perceived that they could best contribute to their former schools. Despite numerous improvement efforts for several decades, the academic performance of urban high school students has failed to keep pace with that of their suburban counterparts. This research was framed around the premise that the rich legacies and diverse cultural experiences of African American alumni of urban high schools could mitigate the outside factors that negatively impact student performance at urban schools. The 45 participants of this study were African American alumni of two prominent urban high schools, located in Jacksonville, Florida. Using Q methodology, participants sorted 38 statements reflecting how they perceived that African American alumni could best contribute to their former schools. The researcher then correlated the 45 Q sorts, factor analyzed those correlations, and extracted five collectively held factors. However, because the fifth factor was bipolar, the researcher interpreted the five-factor solution as having six perspectives, one for each of the first four factors and two opposite perspectives for Factor 5. The six perspectives were named College Preparation, Relationship Building, Spirituality, Self-Efficacy, Visibility (students), and Visibility (parents). Through the lens of social capital, these resulting perspectives were then systematically interpreted to provide a rich description of how African American alumni of urban high schools perceived that they could best contribute to their former schools.

Examining the Pipeline: People of Color's Pathway to Headship

Predictions indicate that a large majority of the heads of independent schools in the United States will retire within the next decade. Although there is a push for a greater representation of people of color in this position, in order for people of color to be considered, it seems that they are held to a higher standard than their white counterparts. The data from this study show that there is a significant statistical difference in the percentage of recently appointed heads of color who are alumni of independent schools, as well as those who have held a senior-level position. Furthermore, a greater percentage of heads of school of color than of heads of school who are white are alumni of selective graduate schools or hold a terminal degree. Last, heads of color reported that they found it important, yet difficult, to develop relationships with the educational search firms who often serve as the gatekeepers to these highly coveted positions. The results of this study, although they call for changes which will be daunting to make, give independent schools the necessary framework to move beyond the criteria and approaches currently used to identify viable head-of-school candidates.

Learning Model Development to Improve Students’ Oral Communication Skill (A Research and Development Study on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Subject in All Junior High Schools in North of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara Province)

The reality, students who have graduated from junior high schools do not achieve the learning quality as expected by the curriculum. The alumni of junior high schools still have the low oral communication skill in English. The problem of the present research was what learning model which can improve the students’ oral communication skill. The purpose of this research is to find a product in the form of learning model as an alternative learning model which can improve oral communication skill. The research approach used in this study was research and development by modifying the ten steps of research procedures into only three steps that are (1) preliminary study, (2) model development, and (3) model validation test. The participants of this study were the teachers and the students of the junior high schools in North of Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat. The data collection techniques used in this study such as: observation, questionnaire, document study, and oral test. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively (statistical test). This research and development study produced a learning model that can be used to improve the English oral communication skill. That learning model consists of five learning steps, namely (1) the orientation phase, (2) the phase of using command to direct behaviour, (3) the phase of role reversal, (4) the phase of role independent practice, and (5) the phase of guided practice. After analyzing the data in the form score difference between pretest and posttest in the experimental group and the control group. It is concluded that the developed learning model effectively improved the junior high school students’ spoken communication skill when being compared with the conventional learning model that was usually used by the teacher. The developed learning model emphasises the students’ activities in the learning process. It can be applied by the teacher through saying a word and demonstrating an act to represent its meaning without translating it into Language Indonesia, and asking the students to also demonstrate the word. After demonstrating the word, the students try to produce the oral language through the question and answer activities both independently and being guided by the teacher. Based on the findings, it is recommended for teachers, junior high school institutions, school committee, education department in local government, to utilize this learning model as an alternative model in learning English as an Foreign Language (EFL) in junior high schools.

Alumni Associations at Swiss Hospitality Schools: Alumni's Expectations and Satisfaction

Alumni associations are vital to U.S. universities. Swiss hospitality schools recently started alumni associations, and this study investigates graduates’ expectations of and satisfaction with their schools’ alumni associations. A self-developed questionnaire was sent to 7,500 hospitality employees. In total 312 alumni of hospitality schools responded. Responses show high participation (68%) in schools’ alumni associations. Students expect alumni networks to maintain contacts with and among alumni and most important to provide employment opportunities. Expectation scores are higher than satisfaction scores, suggesting that Swiss hospitality schools can still improve their offerings.

"The Relationship Between The Development Of The Higher Education In Romania And The Accounting Profession "

This paper wants to highlights the relation between the development of accounting in Romania and the accounting profession. The development of the accounting education is related with the economical development as well as the profession. Having intellectuals that are preoccupied of accounting we will have the need of having a recognized group. The Body of Charted Accountants was correlated with the appearance of the second Academy of Industrial Studies in Romania and only after the Unification. We could see that the ones that initiate the organization of the accounting profession in Romania were the Alumni of the Commercial Schools.

Marketers with MBAs: bridging the thinking‐doing divide

PurposeTo investigate the skills and abilities that MBAs who study marketing, those occupying marketing positions, and companies that hire marketers regard as important; the level of competency required to perform on the job; and areas that need improvement, whether through on‐the‐job training, continuing education, or changes in MBA curricula.Design/methodology/approachLarge‐scale international longitudinal and cross‐sectional surveys used to assess skill development, skill requirements, and the need for additional education provides the foundation of this paper. The data are obtained from three surveys conducted by the Graduate Management Admission Council: Global MBA Graduate Survey, MBA Alumni Perspectives Survey, and Corporate Recruiters Survey.FindingsUnderstanding the perspectives of different constituencies provides an in‐depth and comprehensive view of the skills and abilities needed by those who work in marketing. Without the assistance of a crystal ball to peer into the future, an empirical investigation is required into the relationship between skill development in the classroom, practical use of skills in the field, and the requirements of hiring companies for graduates. The paper identifies a thinking‐doing divide, discusses why it exists, and suggests how it may be corrected.Research limitations/implicationsThe research, although consisting of large international samples, is limited to students and alumni of graduate business schools and companies that hire MBAs. Even though the scope of the samples is limited to more advanced practitioners, the information is useful to faculty, students, and companies at all levels to assist in developing marketers of the future.Originality/valueThis paper presents data from three viewpoints that taken together yield a comprehensive picture of graduate education for marketers as it exists today, and clearly suggests directions for graduate education of future marketers.

Validation and Use of the Catholic School Graduate Characteristics Inventory

Scales and subscales to assess the desirable characteristics of Catholic school graduates were developed and validated using a sample of 557 alumni of Australian Catholic high schools. Exploratory factory analysis supported a 4 scale structure (viz., Religious Faith & Spiritual Development, Personal Integration, Social Responsibility, and Life-long Learning Skills). The utility of this instrument, the Catholic School Graduate Characteristics Inventory (CSGCI), is enhanced by the optional subdividing of each scale into 3 internally consistent subscales. The use of the CSGCI revealed statistically significant differences in the characteristics of Catholic school graduates according to gender and year of graduation. These results suggest that the characteristics of graduates are not static and warrant ongoing investigation by school and system administrators.

Mastering the new public health

The dramatic changes in the field of public health are reverberating in schools of public health in a number of ways, not the least of which is action by the deans of the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) to ensure that graduates with master's of public health degrees are competent to meet the current challenges of practice. The conceptual framework at the center of this activity describes 3 domains--skills, perspectives, and applications--in which alumni of schools of public health may be required to demonstrate competency. ASPH work in this area is grounded in previous national and professional competency definitions and school- and department-specific competency development; it is distinct from earlier work, however, because its focus is on competency at the master's level across the graduate schools of public health.

An Experiment Aborted: Returned Indian Students in the Indian School Service, 1881-1908

This article examines a neglected dimension of the interaction between the United States and Indians during the assimilationist era. Indians, primarily alumni of nonreservation boarding schools, comprised 45 percent of the United States Indian School Service in 1899. Archival and published records reveal that their employment was an important but short-lived component of United States Indian policy. Records of the first generation of Indian alumni of Hampton Institute allow insight into the motivation and experience of the Indian employees. By reviewing this episode, the study sheds new light on the nature and duration of assimilationist policy and the ways in which Indian peoples approached and influenced it.

Location patterns of recent physician settlers in rural America

The location patterns of young physicians who settled in the most rural communities of America between 1973 and 1976 are analyzed. The majority of these recent rural settlers were primary care practitioners. They tended to be the alumni of state university medical schools in states with large rural populations. Foreign medical graduates were heavily represented. The principal finding-a tendency toward further concentration of rural physicians within existing medical communities-suggests that those rural communities with the greatest needs amy remain underserved without the assistance of organized external programs.

The Theological Seminary in the Configuration of American Higher Education: The Ante-Bellum Years

AN IMPORTANT new educational institution was created in America in the early nineteenth century-the theological seminary. The development of seminaries, although almost completely ignored by twentiethcentury educational historians, was an important achievement with far-reaching consequences for religion, education, and society. Education for the ministry became formally organized, systematized, and extended in the specialized theological seminaries which substantially improved professional preparation. Within a generation of the founding of Andover in 1807, the theological seminary became the accepted pattern of professional training for the educated and learned ministry in Protestant churches. Alumni of seminaries and divinity schools not only preached the gospel, but also extended education throughout the land by establishing and supporting literally thousands of educational agencies and institutions: colleges and seminaries, academies and common schools, churches and Sunday schools, libraries and the religious press, and benevolent and reform societies. A prototype of the graduate professional school, the theological seminary helped establish the role of the liberal arts college in the configuration of American higher education. The seminary in the age of the religious Christian college served many of the functions which the graduate school of arts and sciences later would provide through a more specialized education in the age of the university. The locus of advanced study for most college professors and presidents, the ante

Continuities in Research on the "Religious Factor"

Analysis of the attitudes and behavior of graduates of Catholic colleges seven years after graduation indicates that the experience of attending a Catholic college caused no economic, educational, or intelectual handicaps for the alumni of such schools. They are also likely to score higher than other Catholics on measures of religious behavior and on measures of political and social liberalism.
