This edited book is a comprehensive resource for understanding the history as well as the current status of educational practices in Singapore. It is a one-stop reference guide to education and educational issues/concerns here. There are three sections: Part 1 provides a sectorial overview of how education has been organized in this country such as preschool, special needs, primary and secondary, and adult education divisions. In Part 2, contributors critically delve into issues and policies that are pertinent to understanding education here such as underachievement, leadership, language education, assessment, and meritocracy to question what Part 1 might have taken for granted. Part 3 contains the largest number of contributors because it offers a scholarly examination into specific subject histories. This section stands out because of the comparative rarity of its subject matter (history of Physical Education, Art, Music, Geography Education, etc.) in Singapore.

Juhari ist auf Safari in Afrika. In ihrem bisherigen Leben war sie Villenbesitzerin. Afrika und seine Bewohner waren immer schon ihr Traum. Sie liebt die Natur, Gefahr und Erotik. In der Serengeti ist sie auf den Pfaden des Afrikaforschers Grzimek unterwegs, besteigt den Kilimandscharo, wird aus dem Tanganjikasee gefischt und begleicht die Rettungstat– mit den Mitteln einer Frau. Noch nie war sie der Erotik abgeneigt. Besonders Farbige haben sie stets beeindruckt. Als die Gruppe einige Tage in einem Dorf der Massai verbringt, ist sie so von Hakim und seinem afrikanischen Outfit begeistert, dass sie mit dem Massai eine Ehe auf Massaisch eingeht. Unter einigen Volksgruppen Afrikas ist Bigamie kein Tabu. Sie kämpft gegen das Gräuel des Beschneidens und gegen die Bevölkerungsexplosion. Sie erlebt Zustimmung und Hass. Wer sich in Gefahr begibt, kann darin umkommen ...
The Flintstones Management helps managers to manage an organisation in a humane way. It is important to understand the balance between human governance and corporate governance. The concepts of professionalism, integrity, values are grounded as the fundamental of human beings. Unfortunately, with the influence of society, the humans start to lose themselves and start to do “wonders” to gain more tangible materials. The terminologies such as materialism, temporal, greed, profane and secular are designed to address the dramatic change of this society. Humans manage organisations without the concept of humanity. Corporate governance is created to address these issues in the organisations. Sadly, does the concept of corporate governance helps in a real practical world?

This new edition, like the first, contains chapters from countries in Asia, Africa, and South America as well as from indigenous cultures of several Western countries. The chapters were revised to include new research in the post-pandemic world. They show that there is a strong connection between culture and parenting: there are differences in affection and distance, harshness and repression, and acceptance and criticism. Some...
