At the same time, a division of labor is progressing by assigning specific tasks to professionals. The professionals are also…

In the last two decades, Ethiopia has seen a proliferation of community-level development projects that are either led or funded by international entities; however, it is the local arms (e.g., country offices (COs)) who are often responsible for the implementation of the development projects. I argue that these COs are the middlemen in the…

Empirically based tools to map education for sustainable development within school organisations are not readily available, which is both a cause and a consequence of the scarce empirical and quantitative research on school organisations and education for sustainable development. In present study, the Education for Sustainable Development School…

The United Nations (UN) has orchestrated a mobilisation of the world community over the past 20 years, to tackle a range of global problems via two consecutive development projects: the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The NCAA student-athlete compensation rules have changed. That change will have consequences, both intended and unintended. An athlete's name, image or likeness (NIL) may have protectable intrinsic value. The right to license and profit from one's NIL, often referred to as the "right of publicity," is explicitly recognized by statute or…

What motivates students to participate in student organizations, how students participate in university administration decision-making, and how such participation influences students' overall development is under-researched in Bangladesh. Therefore, to uncover such dynamics we employed document analyses, observations, and in-depth interviews with…

The purpose of this intrinsic case study was to explore the participants' perceptions of how Midwest Elementary School (a pseudonym) serves as a community hub. A school that is a community hub is a school that partners with community organizations--such as businesses, churches, and services--to meet the needs of students, families, and the…

Purpose: This conceptual paper explores the relationship between school structure, organisation, and home-school collaboration. It argues that the traditional and dominant secondary school model based on same-age organisation acts in ways that constrain home-school collaboration while claiming to value it. The paper proposes an alternative model…
