A Briefing Paper for Parliamentarians on the Design Faults at the Heart of English Education

As many of those associated with the Initiative already know, John Abbott’s book Overschooled but Undereducated is to be published by Continuum in November. (download the Introduction and view a selection of reviews posted separately on the website).

This book has been written for a wide, general lay-audience and seeks to explain why, despite all the reforms and quantities of money spent upon it, the English education system continues to treat adolescence as a problem, not an opportunity.

With a General Election in England to be held sometime before June 2010 the Initiative has just produced A Briefing Paper for Parliamentarians on the Design Faults at the Heart of English Education. This will be circulated for all Members, hopefully before the Summer Recess. At the same time the Initiative will do everything it can to stimulate wide popular discussion of the Ten Actions as set out in the Paper by encouraging all Parliamentary candidates to consider the significance of these issues.

The Briefing Paper does not fit comfortably into the present stated policies of any party. It is not intended to. Such policies are, as the Paper makes abundantly clear, more concerned about what has happened in the past, than they are about what could happen in the future if policies were shaped around what is now known about human learning and the need for viable communities and strong families.

As a step towards extending discussion about the Ten Actions, which the Briefing Paper argues will need to be taken by an incoming government, the Initiative is now putting this Paper up on its website at the same time as the Paper is delivered to politicians. It can now be downloaded as a PDF file (see below). If a ring-bound hard copy is required this can be attained directly from the Initiative (3 Grosvenor Place, London Road, Bath, BA1 6AX) on receipt of £5 to cover printing and postage costs. Gifts in excess of this will be welcome to help cover our wider distribution costs.

Lesson: Understanding the Education System in England

Introduction:

In this self-taught lesson, we will explore the education system in England. We will learn about its history, design faults, and potential improvements. The lesson is divided into three sections: Introduction, Main Topics, and Conclusion. Each section will cover different aspects of the English education system.

Main Topics:

1. History of the English Education System

The English education system has a long history dating back to the 16th century. Initially, only wealthy children attended schools. However, with the Industrial Revolution, more schools were established to educate the growing working-class population. Today, education in England is compulsory and free for all children between the ages of 5 and 16.

2. Design Faults in the English Education System

Despite numerous reforms and investments in the English education system, there are still design faults that hinder its effectiveness. One of the main design faults is the treatment of adolescence as a problem rather than an opportunity. The education system focuses on managing behavior rather than educating students. Additionally, the education system is divided into separate subjects, which can lead to fragmented learning.

3. Potential Improvements to the English Education System

To address the design faults in the English education system, there are several potential improvements that can be made. One such improvement is to shift the focus from managing behavior to creating a positive learning environment. Another improvement is to integrate subjects to provide a more holistic learning experience. Finally, providing teachers with more autonomy and support can lead to better student outcomes.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, understanding the education system in England is crucial for anyone interested in education policy and reform. By examining its history, identifying design faults, and proposing potential improvements, we can begin to address the challenges facing the English education system. By applying the skills gained from this lesson to new problems, we can work towards improving education for all students in England.


text: Back in the day, many a model engineer first came to modelling via aircraft. Long before the days of electric motors and RC it was free flight with rubber or I/C power, not forgetting the wonderful Jetex. At Bristol, Derek Collin showed an example of a Bowden ‘Contest’ free flight model fitted with an Atom Minor 6cc petrol engine.. The design by C. E. Bowden dates from 1948 is a free flight competition model with a good ratio of glide duration to powered flight. The Atom Minor Mk 3 of 1947 is a classic design from Edgar T. Westbury. It has rotary rear induction and turns a 12 x 6 propeller at 6,000 rpm. It is fitted with a timer which can be set to give up to a minute of engine run before cutting the ignition circuit for the aircraft to glide down, hopefully close to the launch point.. This, now vintage, model was built by the late Roy Page of the Raynes Park Model Aircraft Club in London. Builder of the engine is unknown.

Lesson: The History and Evolution of Model Engines

Introduction:
Model engines are miniature internal combustion engines that are used in model aircraft, cars, boats, and other types of models. They come in different sizes, shapes, and designs, and they have evolved over time to become more sophisticated and efficient. In this lesson, we will explore the history and evolution of model engines, from their early beginnings to the modern-day designs.

Section 1: Early Beginnings
The history of model engines can be traced back to the early 20th century when people started building small-scale models of aircraft, cars, and boats. These models were powered by small internal combustion engines that were designed to mimic the performance of their full-sized counterparts. One of the earliest examples of a model engine is the Atom Minor Mk 3, which was designed by Edgar T. Westbury in 1947. This engine used rotary rear induction and turned a 12 x 6 propeller at 6,000 rpm.

Section 2: The Golden Age of Free Flight Models
During the 1940s and 1950s, free flight models became very popular, and many modelers turned to building these types of models as a hobby. These models were designed to fly without any external control, relying solely on their own design and aerodynamics to stay aloft. One of the most popular free flight models of this era was the Contest, designed by C. E. Bowden in 1948. This model had a good ratio of glide duration to powered flight and was often used in competitions.

Section 3: Electric Motors and RC Technology
As technology advanced, so did the design of model engines. In the 1960s and 1970s, electric motors began to replace internal combustion engines as the primary source of power for model aircraft. These electric motors were smaller, lighter, and more efficient than their gasoline-powered predecessors. Additionally, remote control (RC) technology became more affordable and accessible, allowing modelers to control their models from a distance.

Section 4: Modern-Day Designs
Today, model engines come in all shapes and sizes, from small electric motors used in micro drones to large gasoline engines used in scale model aircraft. Advances in materials science and computer-aided design (CAD) have allowed engineers to create more efficient and powerful engines that are smaller and lighter than ever before. Additionally, modern-day model engines are often equipped with advanced features such as electronic fuel injection and turbochargers, making them even more capable than their predecessors.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the history of model engines is rich and fascinating, spanning over a century of innovation and advancement. From the early days of free flight models to the modern-day designs, model engines have come a long way. By understanding the history and evolution of model engines, we can appreciate the ingenuity and dedication of those who have come before us and continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of modeling.

Role of dopant concentration, crystal phase and particle size on microbial inactivation of Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticles.
The properties of Cu-doped TiO(2) nanoparticles (NPs) were independently controlled in a flame aerosol reactor by varying the molar feed ratios of the precursors, and by optimizing temperature and time history in the flame. The effect of the physico-chemical properties (dopant concentration, crystal phase and particle size) of Cu-doped TiO(2) nanoparticles on inactivation of Mycobacterium smegmatis (a model pathogenic bacterium) was investigated under three light conditions (complete dark, fluorescent light and UV light). The survival rate of M. smegmatis (in a minimal salt medium for 2 h) exposed to the NPs varied depending on the light irradiation conditions as well as the dopant concentrations. In dark conditions, pristine TiO(2) showed insignificant microbial inactivation, but inactivation increased with increasing dopant concentration. Under fluorescent light illumination, no significant effect was observed for TiO(2). However, when TiO(2) was doped with copper, inactivation increased with dopant concentration, reaching more than 90% (>3 wt% dopant). Enhanced microbial inactivation by TiO(2) NPs was observed only under UV light. When TiO(2) NPs were doped with copper, their inactivation potential was promoted and the UV-resistant cells were reduced by over 99%. In addition, the microbial inactivation potential of NPs was also crystal-phase-and size-dependent under all three light conditions. A lower ratio of anatase phase and smaller sizes of Cu-doped TiO(2) NPs resulted in decreased bacterial survival. The increased inactivation potential of doped TiO(2) NPs is possibly due to both enhanced photocatalytic reactions and leached copper ions.

Lesson: Introduction to Photocatalysis

### Chapter 1: Overview of Photocatalysis
Photocatalysis is a process that uses light energy to drive chemical reactions. It has many applications, including water purification, air purification, and energy production. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of photocatalysis, including the role of dopant concentration, crystal phase, and particle size on microbial inactivation of Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticles.

### Chapter 2: Dopant Concentration
Doping is the process of adding impurities to a material to modify its properties. In the case of Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticles, the dopant concentration affects the photocatalytic activity of the material. As the dopant concentration increases, the photocatalytic activity also increases, up to a certain point. This is because the dopant atoms create electron-hole pairs, which can participate in the redox reactions necessary for photocatalysis.

### Chapter 3: Crystal Phase
The crystal phase of a material refers to the arrangement of atoms within the material. In the case of Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticles, the crystal phase can affect the photocatalytic activity of the material. Different crystal phases have different electronic structures, which can influence the ability of the material to absorb light and generate electron-hole pairs.

### Chapter 4: Particle Size
The size of the nanoparticles also plays a role in photocatalysis. Smaller particles have a larger surface area, which can increase the number of active sites available for reactions. However, smaller particles may also have different electronic properties compared to larger particles, which can affect the photocatalytic activity.

### Chapter 5: Light Conditions
Light conditions are also an important factor in photocatalysis. Different wavelengths of light can be absorbed by the photocatalyst, leading to the generation of electron-hole pairs. In the case of Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticles, exposure to UV light led to the highest level of microbial inactivation, followed by fluorescent light and complete darkness.

### Chapter 6: Conclusion
In summary, the properties of Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticles, including doping concentration, crystal phase, and particle size, can significantly affect their photocatalytic activity. By controlling these properties, it is possible to optimize the performance of photocatalysts for various applications.

**Lesson: Understanding Eyeglasses**

**Introduction**

Eyeglasses are an essential item for many people who have poor vision or need to protect their eyes from the sun's rays. In this lesson, we will explore the different types of eyeglasses, their functions, and how they can improve our vision.

**Section 1: Understanding Eyeglasses**

Eyeglasses are designed to help people see better by correcting their vision. They work by refracting light rays that enter the eye, which helps to focus the light onto the retina. This allows the brain to interpret the image correctly.

There are two main types of eyeglasses: spectacle lenses and sunglasses.

**Spectacle Lenses**

Spectacle lenses are used to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. They are available in various strengths and can be made with different materials such as glass or plastic.

**Sunglasses**

Sunglasses are designed to protect the eyes from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. They also reduce glare and enhance color perception. Sunglasses can be worn by people who have perfect vision or those who require corrective lenses.

**Section 2: Choosing the Right Eyeglasses**

When choosing eyeglasses, it is essential to consider several factors such as the type of correction required, the frame style, and the lens material.

**Type of Correction**

The first step in choosing the right eyeglasses is to determine the type of correction required. This can be done by consulting an optometrist or ophthalmologist. They will perform a series of tests to determine the appropriate lens strength and shape.

**Frame Style**

Once the type of correction has been determined, the next step is to choose the frame style. There are many different frame styles available, including rimless, semi-rimless, and full-frame. The choice will depend on personal preference, facial features, and lifestyle.

**Lens Material**

The lens material is another crucial factor to consider when choosing eyeglasses. Different materials offer different levels of durability, scratch resistance, and optical clarity. Common materials include glass, polycarbonate, and CR-39.

**Section 3: Caring for Your Eyeglasses**

To ensure that your eyeglasses last longer, it is essential to take good care of them. Here are some tips for maintaining your eyeglasses:

- Keep your eyeglasses clean and free of smudges by using a microfiber cloth or a soft brush.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials when cleaning your eyeglasses.
- Store your eyeglasses in a case or pouch to prevent scratches and other damage.
- Have your eyeglasses adjusted if they feel loose or uncomfortable.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, eyeglasses are an essential tool for improving our vision and protecting our eyes from harm. By understanding the different types of eyeglasses, choosing the right ones for our needs, and taking good care of them, we can enjoy clear and comfortable vision for many years to come.

Lesson: Introduction to Project Management with Gantt Charts

### Section 1: What is a Gantt Chart?
A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. It is named after its inventor, Henry Gantt, who designed the chart during the early 1900s. The chart visually represents the sequence and timing of tasks that need to be completed to achieve the project goals.

### Section 2: How to Read a Gantt Chart
A Gantt chart consists of two axes - the horizontal axis represents time, while the vertical axis represents the tasks that need to be completed. Each task is represented by a horizontal bar that extends from the left side of the chart to the right side. The length of the bar represents the duration of the task.

### Section 3: Creating a Gantt Chart
To create a Gantt chart, you need to follow these steps:

1. Identify the tasks that need to be completed to achieve the project goals.
2. Determine the duration of each task.
3. Arrange the tasks in the correct sequence.
4. Assign start and end dates to each task.
5. Create the Gantt chart using software or online tools.

### Section 4: Using Gantt Charts in Project Management
Gantt charts are useful tools for project managers because they provide a visual representation of the project schedule. This makes it easier to monitor progress, identify potential bottlenecks, and adjust the schedule as needed. Additionally, Gantt charts can help team members understand their responsibilities and ensure that they are working together towards the same goal.

### Section 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, Gantt charts are an essential tool for project management. By creating a visual representation of the project schedule, project managers can monitor progress, identify potential issues, and adjust the schedule as needed. Gantt charts also help team members understand their responsibilities and work together towards the project goals.

## Lesson: Introduction to Algebra
### Section 1: What is Algebra?
Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of relationships between symbols, numbers, and other mathematical entities. It is used to solve problems involving quantities, such as the number of items in a set or the amount of money in a bank account. Algebra uses symbols such as letters and numbers to represent unknown values and variables.
### Section 2: Why Study Algebra?
Studying algebra helps us understand how numbers work together and how to solve problems involving quantities. It is an essential tool for solving real-world problems, such as calculating the area of a rectangle or the volume of a sphere. Algebra is also used in many fields, including science, engineering, and finance.
### Section 3: How Does Algebra Work?
Algebra uses equations to represent relationships between variables and constants. An equation is a statement that two expressions are equal. For example, the equation 2x + 5 = 10 represents the relationship between the variable x and the constant 5. Solving an equation involves finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
### Section 4: Practical Examples
Let's consider an example problem: If a box contains 5 apples and we add 3 more apples, how many apples are there in total? We can use algebra to solve this problem. Let x represent the number of additional apples added to the box. The equation would be: 5 + x = total number of apples. Solving for x, we get 8. Therefore, there are 8 apples in total.
### Section 5: Conclusion
Algebra is a powerful tool for solving real-world problems. By studying algebra, we can learn how to use mathematical symbols to represent unknown values and variables. We can then use this knowledge to solve problems involving quantities and relationships between variables and constants.


text: Internet addresses set for change The internet regulator has approved plans to allow non-Latin-script web addresses, in a move that is set to transform the online world.. The first Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) could be in use next year. Plans for IDNs were first approved at a meeting in June 2008, but testing of the system has been going on for two years.. This change is very much necessary for not only half the world's internet users today but more than half, probably, of the future users as the internet continues to spread. Our correspondent says the point of the Icann vote was to create a universal internet address code that will work in any language and every place so all the world's computers can connect with each other. There is a danger that the internet - a tool for culture, information - sharing and dialog on a non-national level, may become irreversibly fragmented -Stefanos Likkas, Athens, Greece ".

Lesson: Introduction to Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

**Topic:** Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)

**Definition:** IDNs are domain names that allow characters from other scripts, such as Chinese or Cyrillic, to be used in addition to or instead of the Latin alphabet.

**Importance:** IDNs are important because they make the internet more accessible to people who do not use the Latin alphabet. This means that more people around the world can use the internet in their own language.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

**Example:** Let's say you want to visit a website for a restaurant in Thailand. Without IDNs, you would have to remember the website's IP address or memorize the name of the website in English. With IDNs, you can enter the website's name in Thai characters, and your browser will automatically translate it into the appropriate IP address.

**Example:** Another example is a website for a news outlet in Russia. Without IDNs, you would have to remember the website's IP address or memorize the name of the website in English. With IDNs, you can enter the website's name in Cyrillic characters, and your browser will automatically translate it into the appropriate IP address.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

**Question:** Why are IDNs important for the internet?

**Answer:** IDNs are important for the internet because they make it more accessible to people who do not use the Latin alphabet. This means that more people around the world can use the internet in their own language, which promotes cultural understanding and exchange.

**Debate:** Some people argue that IDNs could lead to confusion and errors, as not everyone is familiar with non-Latin scripts. Others argue that IDNs are necessary for the internet to remain a global platform for communication and information sharing.

## Glossary

**Internationalized Domain Name (IDN):** A domain name that allows characters from other scripts, such as Chinese or Cyrillic, to be used in addition to or instead of the Latin alphabet.

**IP address:** A unique numerical label assigned to every device participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.

**Browser:** A software application used to retrieve, present, and interact web resources from the internet.

Kenji Kanasugi, front, minister and deputy chief of mission at the Japanese Embassy to Korea, leaves the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tuesday, after being called by Director-General for Northeast Asian Affairs Lee Sang-deok over Tokyo's renewed claim on Korea's Dokdo islets. / Yonhap

By Yi Whan-woo

The foreign ministry is facing calls for a drastic change in its "quiet diplomacy" with Japan.

Kim Yeol-su, an international politics professor at Sungshin Women's University, said Japan's recent actions related to Dokdo can be blamed, in part, on Korea's failure to deal with Japan's provocations properly in the past.

"The Abe government has made a series of diplomatic provocations, including its revision of its pacifist Constitution to give it a larger military role."

The ministry disagreed with that assessment.

"I can't agree with those who argue that the government is adhering to a policy of ‘quiet diplomacy,'" foreign ministry spokesman Noh Kwang-il said Tuesday. "We're working closely with the related ministries to deal with Japan in a calm, yet unyielding manner."

In its 2015 Diplomatic Bluebook, released on Tuesday, Japan's foreign ministry repeated its sovereignty claim over Dokdo, which lies between Korea and Japan in the East Sea. The document also stated that the islets belonged to Japan inherently.

Korea has controlled the islets since its liberation from Japanese colonial rule (1910-45).

Seoul maintains its stance that Dokdo has been under its sovereignty in terms of history, geography and international law.

Meanwhile, Japan has argued it legally incorporated the islets, which it calls Takeshima, into Shimane Prefecture on Feb. 22, 1905.

The release of the bluebook came after Japan's education ministry irked Seoul Monday with its review of 18 new middle school textbooks, which included Dokdo claims.

Director-General for Northeast Asian Affairs Lee Sang-deok at Seoul's foreign ministry summoned Kenji Kanasugi to his office Tuesday in protest against Tokyo's provocation. Kanasugi is the second-highest ranking official at the Japanese embassy to Seoul under Ambassador Koro Bessho.

"In territorial disputes, a country that occupies certain disputed territories capitalizes on ‘quiet diplomacy' against its foe," said Jo Yang-hyeon, the research director at the Center for Diplomatic History Studies at Korea National Diplomatic Academy.

He referred to a stand-off between Japan and China over a group of inhabited islands controlled by Japan in the East China Sea.

Tokyo calls them the Senkaku Islands while they are known as the Diaoyudao Islands in Beijing, which claims it has ownership over them based on historical facts.

"Japan is trying to ignore China, while Beijing has been seeking to fuel the dispute over the islands as much as it can. The same situation can be applied in the Dokdo dispute and it's right for us to ignore Japan."

Lesson: Understanding Political News Articles

Introduction:
In today's world, staying informed about current events is essential. Reading political news articles is one way to stay up-to-date with what is happening around the world. However, not all news articles are created equal, and it can be challenging to determine which ones are worth reading. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand political news articles by analyzing different types of articles and identifying their key components.

Section 1: Types of Political News Articles

There are several types of political news articles, including:

1. Editorials: These are opinion pieces written by editors or columnists that express their views on a particular issue or event. They often contain strong opinions and arguments, but they should not be taken as objective facts.

2. News stories: These are reports on current events or developments in politics. They typically present facts and quotes from people involved in the story, but they may also include analysis or interpretation of those facts.

3. Opinion pieces: These are articles written by individuals expressing their personal opinions on a particular issue or event. They may contain personal anecdotes, opinions, and arguments, but they should not be confused with editorials.

4. Analysis pieces: These are longer articles that provide in-depth analysis of a particular issue or event. They often contain data, graphs, charts, and other visual aids to help readers understand complex issues.

Section 2: Key Components of Political News Articles

All political news articles should contain certain key components, including:

1. Headline: This is the title of the article, and it should be clear, concise, and accurate. It should give readers an idea of what the article is about without being misleading.

2. Byline: This is the name of the author of the article. It helps readers know who wrote the article and whether they are a reliable source of information.

3. Date: This is the date when the article was published. It helps readers know how current the information is and whether it is still relevant.

4. Lead paragraph: This is the first paragraph of the article, and it should contain the most important information. It should answer who, what, where, when, why, and how questions to help readers understand the context of the article.

5. Body: This is the main part of the article, where the author provides more detailed information about the issue or event. It should be organized logically and include supporting evidence for any claims made.

6. Conclusion: This is the final paragraph of the article, where the author summarizes the main points and provides a conclusion or recommendation.

Section 3: Analyzing Political News Articles

Now that we know the key components of political news articles, let's practice analyzing them. Let's take the following article as an example:

Title: "President Trump Announces Plan to Cut Taxes"

Byline: John Smith

Date: March 15, 2021

Lead paragraph: President Trump announced a plan to cut taxes for middle-class Americans during a speech at the Republican National Convention on Monday. The proposal, which has been in the works for months, would reduce the number of tax brackets from seven to four and lower the top rate from 39.6% to 35%.

Body: Under the plan, the bottom tax bracket would be eliminated, meaning that individuals earning up to $24,000 per year and couples earning up to $48,000 per year would no longer pay any income tax. The second bracket would apply to individuals earning between $24,000 and $93,700 and couples earning between $48,000 and $194,900, with a 10% rate. The third bracket would apply to individuals earning between $93,700 and $235,450 and couples earning between $194,900 and $413,300, with a 25% rate. The fourth bracket would apply to individuals earning over $235,450 and couples earning over $413,300, with a 35% rate.

Vishay's electro-pyrotechnic initiator thin film chip (EPIC) resistor is based on Ta2N thin film technology deposited on a
specifically prepared ceramic substrate for optimized dissipation purposes. The principle of EPIC is to convert electrical
energy into heat energy in a precise electro-thermal profile for the purpose of initiating a series of pyrotechnic events
in a controlled energetic reaction. The massive electro-pyrotechnic initiator chip (MEPIC) resistor features a standard case
geometry (SMD) that enables the implementation of assembly processes commonly used in the electronic component industry (pick
and place, reflow soldering on a flat PCB used as a header). MEPIC provides an alternative to bridge wire technology, ensuring
at least the same level of performances while providing cost-efficient assembly process and initiator design alternatives.
