Penny Enslin 'Measuring up in Education' in Melbourne

Professor Penny Enslin was a keynote speaker at the annual conference of the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia, December 2013, and here is seen with Professor David Beckett of the Melbourne Graduate School of Education.

Writing with Mary Tjiattas of North Carolina State University, Penny’s presentation made a case for measurement that avoids feedback loops that corrupt what they set out to measure, with reference to metrics of justice that foster global educational opportunity.

Rights advice centres: a practical guide to providing legal advice and information services in Malawi

 

Throughout the world, but particularly in developing countries, poor people do not have access to legal information and advice and therefore lack access to justice. While the rich buy the services of a lawyer, the poor cannot. This booklet describes a project of the Active Learning Centre, which is hosted by CR&DALL that has established rights advice and information centres in two areas in Malawi, Mangochi and Dedza and is piloting ways of delivering outreach services in rural areas.
