            <description><![CDATA[Herder put forward the idea that each person has an original way of being human: everyone has his or her own `measure'.  The term `measure' is employed in its evaluative sense in UK higher education, in relation to quality assurance benchmarks, and the policies and practices of accountability and assessment procedures.  Denise Batchelor builds on those understandings by dwelling on the alternative interpretation of the concept of `measure' which Herder proposes.  ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[
In the past 10 years more children have had better opportunities to attend school, but nearly a billion people still receive little or no education. Most of them are girls and women. An international conference taking place online and in Dakar, Senegal, is bringing together education activists, academics, practitioners, policy makers and girls themselves to debate and develop ways to ensure a better deal for women in education around the world. Titled E4 Engendering Empowerment: Education and Equality, this innovative conference is using both electronic media and participatory discussion.

            <description><![CDATA[People with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are thought to have a specific profile of 
cognitive strengths and weaknesses—difficulties appreciating others&#39; thoughts and feelings, 
problems regulating and controlling their behavior, and an enhanced ability to perceive details— 
but few studies have tracked children&#39;s cognitive skills over time. Now new longitudinal 
research provides clues that can inform our understanding of ASD.

            <description><![CDATA[Julia Douetil, Reading Recovery trainer/coordinator at the European Centre for Reading Recovery at the Institute of Education, London, responded to reports on boys&#39; literacy. She said:<br<br />

&quot;BBC research has highlighted the number of boys who are still poor readers at age 11. Its reports are asking why investments in education are not showing up in national assessments. The answer is that it is extremely difficult to turn around a child who has failed in literacy.  It is much more effective to step in early, as soon as a child shows signs of difficulty, and prevent them failing.

            <description><![CDATA[In this paper Katherine will explore the relationship ideals and experiences of young Gujaratis (aged 20-30) in the UK and India. In particular she will describe how in both settings informants aspired to `modern' relationships of love and (broadly) equality. What this meant was interpreted in different ways. In neither setting, however, was gender equality fully realised and Katherine will explore the factors which led to this disparity between ideal and experience.]]></description>

Its 'creator' Muhammed Yunnus was even awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his pioneering work with the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. High praise indeed, but what is the evidence for this costly intervention? Can offering people loans at interest rates of up to 40% really alleviate poverty? ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Julia Douetil, lead trainer, European Centre for Reading Recovery, responded to the coverage on the reading test for six-year-olds. She said:<br /><br />

&quot;We are pleased to see the government working towards raising attainment in schools and checking a child's knowledge of phonics is important, but the DfE agrees that this is only one aspect of reading. Schools also need to watch for the child's understanding of what they read, the fluency with which they read, and the child's attitude to reading - do they enjoy it and choose it as an activity? Children&#39;s writing is just as important, it is not safe to assume that a child who is making good progress in reading doesn&#39;t need help with writing.]]></description>
