Rough Estimates Indicate That Nearly 60-70 Million Children In The Age Group Of 6-13 Years Do Not Attend School In India And Remain Deprived Of The Basic Right To Learn. This Despite The Face That The Goal Of The Universalization Of Elementary Education Has Been A Stated Objective Of The Indian Nation State. Existing Information Clearly Reveals That The Majority Of Children Outside The School System Belong To Poor And Other Deprived Groups. The Study Focuses On Understanding Schooling Participation From The Perspective Of Poor And Deprived Families And Analysing The Present Policy And Interventions In The Context Of This Understanding. Basic Livelihood Insecurity, Adverse Socio-Political Positioning, Lack Of School Accountability And Oversimplification Of Equity Issues In Policies And Delivery Modes Emerge As Critical Issues.
It is human nature to make simple things more complicated than they actually are. Investing is no exception. From our early days in school, we are briefly taught about the stock market, given complex formulas to take a quantitative approach, and use Greek letters to define terms in the stock market. The constant use of phrases like "smart money" by the media makes you believe you have to know everything about investing to have a chance to succeed. However, there are always two sides to every coin. So You Want to Be a Superinvestor? examines what we were taught about investing from academia and then questions this conventional thinking. Do the greatest investors like Warren Buffett and other ...
Ensuring Education for All at the primary school level is not just a matter of recruiting enough teachers: they must be deployed effectively across the education system.

Since the turn of the millennium a revitalised feminist movement has emerged to challenge these assumptions. Based on a survey of over a thousand feminists, Reclaiming the F Word reveals the what, why and how of today's feminism, from cosmetic surgery to celebrity culture, from sex to singleness and now, in this new edition, the gendered effects of possibly the worst economic crisis ever. This is a generation-defining book demanding nothing less than freedom and equality, for all.

Solid-state reactions have been growing in importance in the preparation of solids, crystal growth, and single crystals of elements. In this new volume, the author discusses in depth recent advances in solid-state chemistry, the latest techniques of characterization of solids, and several new dimensions of solid-state problems. Solid-state reactions, their kinetics, phase transitions, and magnetic properties are discussed in detail, along with electrical properties, semiconductors, metals, and insulators, with examples and explanations. Dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric properties of solids have been considered as well. Different theories of catalysis and adsorption isotherms are ...
The principles for enabling children to become fully proficient multilinguals through schooling are well known. Even so, most indigenous/tribal, minority and marginalised children are not provided with appropriate mother-tongue-based multilingual education (MLE) that would enable them to succeed in school and society. In this book experts from around the world ask why this is, and show how it can be done. The book discusses general principles and challenges in depth and presents case studies from Canada and the USA, northern Europe, Peru, Africa, India, Nepal and elsewhere in Asia. Analysis by leading scholars in the field shows the importance of building on local experience. Sharing local solutions globally can lead to better theory, and to action for more social justice and equality through education.
For young people, the space of the drama classroom can be a space for deep learning as they struggle across difference to create something together with common purpose. Collaborating across institutions, theatres, and community spaces, the research in Hope in a Collapsing World mobilizes theatre to build its methodology and create new data with young people as they seek the language of performance to communicate their worries, fears, and dreams to a global network of researchers and a wider public. A collaboration between a social scientist and a playwright and using both ethnographic study and playwriting, Hope in a Collapsing World represents a groundbreaking hybrid format of research text and original script – titled Towards Youth: A Play on Radical Hope – for reading, experimentation, and performance.
