Stakeholder consultation on Rethinking Education: Investing in skills for better socio-economic outcomes COM(2012) 699

Posted January 21, 2013 - 11:14

This PASCAL Policy Insight paper has been submitted in response to a stakeholder consultation by the EU Committee of the Regions  on an EU policy paper on Rethinking Education:

Abstract: Whilst there are unresolved debates about the best way of calculating levels of youth unemployment, there is general consensus that rates are rising, and particularly so in those countries seriously affected by the current financial crisis, to the point where a ‘lost generation’ is at risk of being denied access to employment  and to other aspects of adulthood and citizenship .   There is no clear policy response from national governments beyond the extension of the repertoire of measures which have been tried with little success to date.  Nor is there a clear perspective from research about ‘what works’ among the approaches currently on offer.

Critical Studies in Education (CSE) - Call for Papers

Posted January 17, 2013 - 23:25

Critical Studies in Education is one of the few international journals solely devoted to a critical sociology of education. Two questions frame the journal’s critical approach to research: (1) whose interests are served by current social arrangements in education and, (2) from the standpoint of the least advantaged, what can be done about inequitable arrangements? Informed by this approach, articles published in the journal draw on post-structural, feminist, postcolonial and other critical orientations to critique education systems and to identify alternatives for education policy, practice and research.
