Kenya was once a British colony, and today it is a fast-growing country with world-class hotels and shopping malls on one side of the road, while misery and poverty show their cruel faces on the other side. It is a country where internal struggles and political unrest are ongoing, corruption is enormous, and an increasing number of terrorist organizations are appearing (even breaking into universities and slaughtering young people for their religious affiliation). The aim of our work is to present the economic, social, and socio-cultural background of the country. We considered it important to highlight economic indicators such as the proportion of GDP spent on education at each level of the education system, alone and compared to other countries, and we also examined the population pyramid of the country. One of the interesting points of the study is the comparison of Kenya's educational values with those of Malaysia or Africa, and also specifically mapping the physical education development of Kenya. In the course of our research, we relied on the available literature and the analysis of statistical data, however, personal experiences and observations are interspersed with the study. As a result of our work, we can get a clearer picture of the economic, social, and socio-cultural environment of a wonderful country, thus bringing the values of a distant world closer.

Feminist Discourse

In this paper we outline the boundaries of a new epistemology in which female narration and code overlap with the role of narrativity and complexity in contemporary research, as Paradigms of Transversality. In postmodernity, narrativity emerges as the contextualization of knowledge and complexity utters itself as its current epistemic statute. Knowledges are located in the ‘living world' and as such they should be understood narratively. Narrative, then, goes from being ‘external history' to an increasingly ‘internal paradigm' of knowledge, one that is always (and totally) intertwined with ‘narrative thinking'. Female knowledge finds its right place in this epistemic situation, and the epistemological and philosophical reflections - highlighted by the introduction of the category of gender - allow feminist discourse to state the systematic asymmetry between women and men; in effect, the latter, despite acting on all levels and in all moments of social and cultural life, has no ultimate foundational cause, since gender is a historical construct, and therefore modifiable. In this feminist path, narrative therefore presents itself as a declaration of existence, of being woman and being man, which rests on the cultural as well as the biological. Women and men make up a discursive intrigue, which is peripatetic and adventurous, an interdependent complexity. This narrative reveals our narrative webs and introduces us to an interactive universalism that sets the relational dimension as constitutive of individuals, groups, cultures and identities. The task of education thus is to open the road, through reflexive practices, to different ways of living, centred on personal experiences, and therefore narrative knowledge, in order to enable man and woman to learn to reveal themselves, to think and think of themselves, to tell and tell themselves, to insert themselves into networks of dialogue, so to build sites for innovation and reflexivity and open ‘thresholds' and ‘meeting places' to ‘do-culture'.

China recently launched a new stage of world-class university campaign, and emphasized developing the “Chinese characteristics” this time. Arguably, global rankings remain the most powerful illustration of who can claim world-class standing, which in turn renders the “Chinese characteristics” in question. This article argues that China would benefit from a kind of explicit “Chinese standards” to help establish a clearer direction for higher education development in the country.

Subject Matter Content

The Principals’ Attitude toward Physical Education ( PAPE) survey was used to assess public principals’ intention to promote physical education (PE). Principals ( n = 106) from randomly selected middle and high school schools in California completed the PAPE. Results indicated favorable attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and normative beliefs were associated with promoting PE. Middle school principals are more likely to promote PE than high school principals, especially if they promoted PE in the past. Principals who reported higher perceived competence along with positive professional and personal experiences with PE indicated they would likely promote this subject-matter content in their school.

Shed Light

Over the past two decades, immigration receiving states have resorted to extraordinary legal, political, spatial tactics to curtail and prevent different types of migrants from legally entering the states. Some of these processes increased the number of undocumented and unauthorized immigrants in certain countries. These processes also lead to enormous personal sacrifices and hardships for families across the world. My personal experiences are probably not the worst case due to my educational and professional background, although there were few bumps in the road. Some of the following notes, I hope, will shed light on the personal experiences dealing with immigration law and processes.

The formation of a new ideology, legislation and practice in the field of inclusive professional education of disabled people is developed in Tambov Region under the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Federal Educational and Methodical Center. The center of this model is the basic professional educational organization (Tambov Regional State Autonomous Professional Educational Institution “Training College of Field Technologies”), which provides support for the functioning of the system of inclusive professional education of people with disabilities. In the regional state professional organizations there are 169 students of the disabled people and 134 people with disabilities. The socio-demographic characteristics of persons with disabilities who study in the conditions of the Center of Inclusive Education (structural subdivision of the Training College of Field Technologies) are considered.

The article examines the problem of formation and development of modern educational values in the minds and activities of Ukrainian applicants for higher education, in particular of masters of the humanities. The results of the diagnostic section in the form of a questionnaire of students and lecturers were conducted to determine the state of formation of the axiological thesaurus of masters of the humanities. Level groups of the master’s students are singled out, and the conclusion with the recommendations about the necessity of a choice of methods, means, and forms of influence on educational values of the future experts of the humanitarian sphere, in particular culturologists, philosophers, philologists are offered.Based on the theoretical search, experimental survey and generalization of materials in the prospects of the study determined the development of axiological principles of the contextual-professional model of training future masters of the humanities, which include: purpose (formation of professional readiness based on competencies, appropriate practical orientation of learning), values (pragmatism, communication with employers, the system of terminal and instrumental values), principles (independence in learning; formation of the content of education through problems of cognitive, professional, communicative, organizational, axiological nature; integral inclusion of higher education in educational and cognitive and scientific research activities, openness and freedom of choice of their actions, the formation of a reflective position in relation to themselves as a subject of professional activity), the selection of content (interdisciplinarity, context). It is proved that the educational environment of formation of value orientations should be based on the principles of axiology and open learning: reliance on information technology; designing the modern content of education; development of innovative methods of development of the value component of professional competencies; changes in the traditional role of the lecturer as a translator of knowledge and the development of the role of a mentor, a senior colleague, a consultant, and a supervisor.
