Full Time Employment

The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between temporary part-time employment and the wages male employees receive in subsequent full-time employment within the first five and the first ten years from the date of starting their full-time employment. The study uses data from the German labour market, obtained from the Socio-Economic Panel for the years 1984–2014. The fixed effects estimator, which solves the unobserved heterogeneity issue by removing time-invariant individual effects by a ‘within’ transformation, was applied in the empirical analysis. The results indicate that having experience as a part-time worker is associated with lower future wages – a one-year increase in the number of years in part-time work in the last two to five years leads to a reduction in future wages in a full-time job by 4.4% on average, compared to having solely a full-time job experience. However, this relationship becomes statistically insignificant after five years of being employed full-time. The results are robust to different specifications and it is indicated that an inverse relationship between working below regular hours and future wages in full-time employment is related to working parttime in low- and medium-skilled occupations. At the same time, working part-time is less detrimental to future wages than periods of unemployment.

The work-study programme is a student-friendly and institution-friendly initiative that had been in legal existence for decades in the Western world. The benefits attached to work-study are enormous, some of which include acquisition of technical skills, research skills, administrative skills, leadership skills, increased financial income, and on-the-job experience, just to mention a few. However, in Nigerian tertiary schools, the work-study programme is yet to gain much foothold; many Nigerian students are not benefitting from school-created part-time job positions since many schools do not have such programmes in place. Although some Nigerian tertiary schools had embraced and as well created work-study programmes for students in this recent decade; however, the programme is still premature in such schools because not all of students are equally benefitting from that programmes. The medical and dental students especially those in the clinical phase of academic programmes are yet to benefit from such programmes due to the unfavourable structure of academic programmes and other factors. Hence, this article is to emphasise on the need for the creation of doable work-study opportunities for medical and students in Nigeria.

Successful School

This paper discusses the role of special education in Finland and Norway. There are major differences in how special education is understood in these countries. The different perspective that Finland and Norway have on the concept of inclusion is also striking. The PISA test results show that the Finnish school is performing well, partly because of flexible part-time special education; the early intervention strategy also plays a role in this success. These aspects are making Finnish schools inclusive; support is offered immediately when it is needed without any bureaucratic process. An effective teacher education program is also a key element in creating a successful school system. Norway’s relatively weak educational results could mean that despite their strong focus on inclusion, Norwegian schools are not inclusive. The quality of special education is debated. If it is true that special education is helping to create success in schools, then clearly there is a need to discover more about the different systems and what factors may influence that success. Despite the close geographical and political relationship between Norway and Finland, there exists clear differences in the educational area.
