Key factors in the success of the pilot were: • embedding IIU within the curriculum and life of the school; • funding both resource focussed professional learning and interschool cooperation; • adopting a place based approach for the implementation of IIU; and • promoting a safe place approach for people’s engagement across different cultures and religions we can learn form the Lakemba / Macquarie experience PROMOTING INTERFAITH AND INTERCULTURAL UNDERSTANDING IN SCHOOL SETTINGS CONDUCTED BY: ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR MICHAEL BEZZINA AND PROFESSOR JUDE BUTCHER AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT AND WORKPLACE RELATIONS.

Stefano Scarpetta, Anne Sonnet and Thomas Manfredi www.oecd.org/els/workingpapers 2010 JSA play an important role Countries could consider a number of policy measures to support the new entrants in the labour market, including: Ensure better co-operation between employment services and the education system to reach youth as soon as possible when risk of disengagement is detected. Referrals from schools to the Public Employment Services (PES) are essential if youth disengagement is to be addressed at the earliest opportunity when success is most likely. Provide early guidance to school-leavers in search of a job. Youth outreach programmes should identify school-leavers who do not manage to find a job. They should be oriented to register with the PES, where a profiling process should be implemented quickly to determine who is job-ready and who should be involved in re-employment programmes. Extend job-search assistance measures for those who are job-ready. It is essential that access to appropriate job-search assistance, training and similar measures is provided by the PES in the first weeks of unemployment. Maintain those who are hard-to-place connected to the labour market. A shift from a so-called “work-first�? approach to a “learn/train-first�? approach could be considered for those who have shown major difficulties in finding a job. Such a shift could be especially appropriate during an economic downturn when the opportunity cost of time spent on a training programme or in education is lower. While it would be important to include an on-the-job component to learning and training programmes, public-sector jobs could also be offered temporarily to disadvantaged youth to acquire skills transferable to private-sector jobs (see the Future Jobs Fund scheme in the United Kingdom, Box 3 and emplois passerelles in France, Box 7)., Technical paper Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA) understand the Naplan data The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) produces four indices of socio-economic status, the Socio-economic Indicators for Areas (SEIFA), which are intended for different purposes.

Stefano Scarpetta, Anne Sonnet and Thomas Manfredi www.oecd.org/els/workingpapers 2010 JSA play an important role “Scarring�? means that the mere experience of unemployment will increase future unemployment risks and/or reduce future earnings, mainly through effects associated with human capital (i.e. deterioration of skills and foregone work experience) or signaling effects (i.e. periods of unemployment convey a signal of low productivity to potential employers). The longer the unemployment spell lasts, the more individual productivity will be affected and the lower the level of initial qualification, the longer the scarring effects are likely to last. And Gregg and Tominey (2005), controlling for education, region, wealth of the family and personal characteristics, found a scar from one year of youth unemployment at the age of 22 in the range of 13-21% twenty years later in the United Kingdom Bell and Blanchflower (2009) find evidence that spells of unemployment while young often create permanent scars through its harmful effects on a number of outcomes – happiness, job satisfaction, wages and health – many years later, Public Education Matters: Reclaiming Public Education for the Common Good in a Global Era Val Klenowski Queensland University of Technology challenge market forces models of educational provision Schleicher has indicated that the challenge is clear: . . . the most effective modern economies will be those that produce the most information and knowledge – and make that information and knowledge easily accessible to the greatest number of individuals and enterprises. (2006, p. 4), An Indicator Framework for Higher Education Performance Funding Discussion Paper December 2009 ???? Student participation and inclusion • Student experience • Student attainment 5 • Quality of learning outcomes, There is an implication in some of the research literature that schools need to change the attitudes of some cultural groups towards teachers and schooling. This smacks of cultural imperialism, and assumes that the western notion of greater parental involvement in schooling and decision-making about the school is superior to other views about the roles and responsibilities of various educational stakeholders. The finding that within Asian, Islander and to some extent, Middle Eastern cultures that sees education as something that is the responsibility of schools to deliver, with parents having very little involvement provides a case in point. It is not that these parents do not value education (in fact, quite the reverse), or that they are disinterested in the outcomes of their children's learning, but how they believe this should occur differs from that of many Anglo-Australian families. The extent to which schools should serve the social needs of parents/families, and have a role to play in community capacity building is perhaps debatable. It is an issue that may be viewed differently in the traditions of government and non-government schools. engage our community people as they want to be Education for Social Inclusion: An exploration of strategies to assist parents and local communities to become more engaged in diverse interfaith and intercultural school settings Erebus report draft November 2009 ( Not released as yet )
