McGee Banks. www.ioe.ac.uk/RespectingDifference.pdf. Global citizenship. In broad usage, the term global citizenship has much the same meaning as world citizen.
The term also has additional, specialized senses in differing contexts, particularly in education and political philosophy. Definition[edit] The term "citizenship" refers to an identity between a person and a city, state or nation and their right to work, live and participate politically in a particular geographic area. When combined with the term "global", it typically defines a person who places their identity with a "global community" above their identity as a citizen of a particular nation or place. The idea is that one’s identity transcends geography or political borders and that responsibilities or rights are or can be derived from membership in a broader class: "humanity". In general usage, the term may have much the same meaning as World citizen or Cosmopolitan, but it also has additional, specialized meanings in differing contexts.

Immigration + Integration. Net migration rates for 2011: positive (blue), negative (orange), stable (green), and no data (gray) Immigration is the movement of people into another country or region to which they are not native in order to settle there,[1]especially permanently[2] Immigration is a result of a number of factors, including economic and/or political reasons, family re-unification, natural disasters or the wish to change one's surroundings voluntarily.
Statistics[edit] As of 2006[update], the International Organization for Migration has estimated the number of foreign migrants worldwide to be more than 200 million.[4] Europe hosted the largest number of immigrants, with 70 million people in 2005.[4] North America, with over 45 million immigrants, is second, followed by Asia, which hosts nearly 25 million.

Education in England. The education system is divided into early years (ages 3–4), primary education (ages 4–11), secondary education (ages 11–18) and tertiary education (ages 18+).
Higher education often begins with a three-year bachelor's degree. Postgraduate degrees include master's degrees, either taught or by research, and the doctorate, a research degree that usually takes at least three years. Universities require a Royal Charter in order to issue degrees, and all but one are financed by the state via tuition fees, which cost up to £9,000 per academic year for English, Welsh and EU students. History of English education[edit] Until 1870 all schools were charitable or private institutions, but in that year the Elementary Education Act 1870 permitted local governments to complement the existing elementary schools, to fill up any gaps.

The official acronym is NEETs and the number of this 'lost generation' is growing to record levels. The amount is worth 1.21% of the EU's GDP, up from 0.96% when the recession hit in 2008. In the UK, this cost €18.4bn (£15bn) in 2011, and includes 1,872,403 15 to 29 year-olds. The number of people is second only to Italy, with 2,157,052 people costing €32.6bn.

Multiculturalism - Charles Taylor. Letters: Myths and realities of multiculturalism. Your report (Kelly vows that new debate on immigration will engage critically with multiculturalism, August 25) on the launch of the new Commission on Integration and Cohesion raises worrying concerns not only about its extremely limited remit, but also whether it represents an efficient use of public money. As two members of a forum on Jewish-black-Asian dialogue, we urge people to question the commission's terms of reference and its doubtful effectiveness. The call for the abandonment of multiculturalism in favour of creating a more homogeneous society is based on a false dichotomy. How can we abandon multiculturalism when we all live in a multicultural society, which has been propelled by global mass migration?

Multicultural education is a set of strategies and materials in U.S. education that were developed to assist teachers to respond to the many issues created by rapidly changing demographics of their students. It provides students knowledge about the histories, cultures, and contributions of diverse groups. Multicultural education assumes that the future of U.S. society is pluralistic. Today, teachers in most urban areas face students from a variety of social classes and cultural and language groups. Many students do not share the middle-class, European American culture common to most college-educated teachers. Multicultural Education: Issues and Perspectives - James A. Banks, Cherry A.

Book: History of Multicultural Education Volume 6: Teachers and Teacher Education - Google Books. Education.com - Multicultural Education. Multicultural education encompasses theories and practices that strive to promote equitable access and rigorous academic achievement for students from all diverse groups, so that they can work toward social change. As a process of educational reform in PK-12 schools, higher education, and increasingly in out-of-school contexts, multicultural education challenges oppression and bias of all forms, and acknowledges and affirms the multiple identities that students bring to their learning. Scholars have provided a range of definitions of multicultural education since the late years of the civil rights movement. A common theme that researchers of multicultural education underscore is that to maintain its critical analysis of power, multicultural education must be constructed within its history and roots in the civil rights movement (Banks 2004; Grant, Elsbree & Fondrie, 2004; Gay, 2004; Nieto & Bode, 2008; Sleeter & Bernal, 2004).

The Politics of Multiculturalism in the New Europe: Racism, Identity and ... Data. The word data is the traditional plural form of the now-archaic datum, neuter past participle of the Latin dare, "to give", hence "something given". In discussions of problems in geometry, mathematics, engineering, and so on, the terms givens and data are used interchangeably. This usage is the origin of data as a concept in computer science or data processing: data are accepted numbers, words, images, etc. Data is also increasingly used in humanities (particularly in the growing digital humanities) the highly interpretive nature whereof might oppose the ethos of data as "given". Usage in English[edit] Datum means "an item given".
The IEEE Computer Society allows usage of data as either a mass noun or plural based on author preference.[8] Some professional organizations and style guides[9][dead link] require that authors treat data as a plural noun.
