School Records

AbstractPolicy-makers wanting to support child development can choose to adjust the quantity or quality of publicly funded universal pre-school. To assess the impact of such changes, we estimate the effects of an increase in free pre-school education in England of about 3.5 months at age 3 on children’s school achievement at age 5. We exploit date-of-birth discontinuities that create variation in the length and starting age of free pre-school using administrative school records linked to nursery characteristics. Estimated effects are small overall, but the impact of the additional term is substantially larger in settings with the highest inspection quality rating but not in settings with highly qualified staff. Estimated effects fade out by age 7.

In the present paper the researchers have attempted to study the effect of psycho-education as an intervention in increasing clarity among Female Primary Caregivers in handling the Alzheimer’s disease patients and in improving the Quality of care rendered by Female Primary Caregivers for their Alzheimer’s patients. The participants were 10 Female Primary Caregivers of Alzheimer’s disease who resided at home. The Female Primary Caregivers were provided with psycho-education intervention for 10 days. The Alzheimer’s disease Clarity Test [ADCT] was administered to measure Clarity on Theoretical issues of Alzheimer’s disease and Capacity building of female primary caregivers. The Quality of Care Check list was used to observe and measure the presence or absence of care and also record the extent of care in physical and psychological areas received by the patients. The results revealed that the 10 days psycho-education has significantly enhanced the clarity levels among the Female Primary Caregivers after the intervention while, one month psycho-education intervention has to be something continued constantly over a period of time regularly to sustain or retain the effect on caregivers. Therefore, it implies that more the intervention gap then less will be the beneficial effect among the caregivers.

Determinant Factor

The research specifically discussed PKBM as an institution that could facilitate the needs of the community and could increase more empowered human resources with a variety of capabilities through economic strengthening. The researchers want to know how does the PKBM institution as a strong institution that is able to partner and be able to assist disadvantaged communities. The purpose of this study in general is to obtain a clear picture of determinant in institutional strengthening, improving the quality of PKBM services, and human resource development through a participatory partnership model in PKBM. The conceptual framework of the research refers to the concept of PKBM, the concept of capacity building and the concept of partnership. This research used a qualitative approach with descriptive method. The location is chosen in Cimahi, Tasikmalaya,, and Karawang Regency. The results obtained are: (1) the first determinant factor is educators, in general, the objective conditions of educators in PKBM are few and there are educators who do not meet the competency standards that they must have. (2) Students become the next determinant factor, PKBM recruits students by opening registration and registering students who drop out of school in formal schools then asks the school to refer students to continue their education at PKBM. (3) PKBM, which is stablished based on community self-help certainly has limitations in facilities and infrastructure, starting from the inadequate amount and quality that is no longer good. (4) In meeting the needs of program sustainability, PKBM has attended by carrying out a variety of businesses, but this has not been able to meet overall needs. (5) PKBM has business activities such as selling products made by students in the form of food or handicrafts, but has limitations in the marketing process.

Little is known about parenting in the context of developmental disabilities in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), penalized by both lack of data and a research bias toward western societies. In this study, we apply data mining methods on a large (N = 25,048) dataset from UNICEF to highlight patterns of association between developmental disabilities of children and parental involvement. We focus on the co-presence of multiple disabilities and the quality of childcare in three parenting domains: discipline, caregiving, and education. Our results show that, in LMIC, children with more severe developmental conditions are also more likely to receive low-quality parental care. Specific policies of parental training are needed to improve parental practices in LMIC.

Abstract Issue In Finland, municipalities are responsible for promoting public health on local level. However, there hasn’t been comparable nationwide information on health promotion processes and resources in different municipalities available. In order to enhance evidence-based management, a nationwide online database and user interface called TEAviisari (http://teaviisari.fi/en/) was released in 2010. Description TEAviisari is based on a generic health promotion capacity-building framework consisting of seven dimensions: commitment, management, monitoring and needs assessment, resources, common practices, participation, and other core functions. Each dimension consists of several indicators. TEAviisari aims to make measures taken by local authorities visible and to provide comparable and objective indicators for the management, planning, and evaluation of health promotion activities in different sectors of administration in all municipalities. Results Most of the data are collected biennially with an electronic form by municipal informants, and complemented with register data. Sectors covered are primary health care; comprehensive, upper secondary and vocational education; sport and physical activity; culture; and municipal management. Exceptionally high coverage (76%-97%) supports the quality of the follow-up data. In order to simplify the interpretation, all data are displayed as summary scores ranging from zero to 100, where 100 stands for a desirable quality. It is possible to drill down into more detailed information, all the way down to single indicators. Lessons Our work shows that it is possible to collect comparable data on health promotion practices and resources in municipalities. TEAviisari offers access to relevant, interpreted information for decision-makers on all levels, serving as an assessment and planning tool for the local government, making their actions transparent to the residents, and providing information for national policy-making.
