Sinossi

Swiss Education Paths offers a rigorous exploration of Switzerland's distinctive multiple-track education system, particularly its impact on career pathways and socio-economic factors. The book addresses how early academic tracking influences student outcomes and the adaptability of vocational training in today’s evolving job market. A key focus is the tension between providing specialized vocational skills and ensuring equitable opportunities for social mobility, especially given that Switzerland’s commitment to vocational training is deeply rooted in its federalist structure.

The textbook uniquely combines educational, sociological, and economic perspectives to critically analyze the Swiss system. It begins by outlining the historical and philosophical foundations before diving into detailed analyses of academic versus vocational tracks, assessing student outcomes, and proposing policy reforms.

Drawing on longitudinal studies, statistical data, and interviews, Swiss Education Paths argues that while the system effectively meets labor market needs, its structure may inadvertently limit individual potential. This academic work, while maintaining an accessible tone, progresses systematically through the topic. Chapters build upon each other, offering a comprehensive understanding that challenges the perception of the Swiss model as purely efficient. It provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in comparative education, vocational training, and promoting equity in education.

The Dressmaker of Khair Khana -...

Anonimo

""We're far more accustomed to—and comfortable with—seeing women portrayed as victims of war who deserve our sympathy rather than as resilient survivors who demand our respect…""  
Former ABC journalist Gayle Tzemach Lemmon tells the riveting true story of Kamila Sidiqi and other women of Afghanistan in the wake of the Taliban’s fearful rise to power. In what Greg Mortenson, author of Three Cups of Tea, calls “one of the most inspiring books I have ever read,” Lemmon recounts with novelistic vividness the true story of a fearless young woman who not only reinvented herself as an entrepreneur to save her family but, in the face of ferocious opposition, brought hope to the lives of dozens of women in war-torn Kabul.

Asian Immigration in the United...

Editors Charles River

One of the most important and memorable events of the United States’ westward push across the frontier came with the discovery of gold in the lands that became California in January 1848. Located thousands of miles away from the country’s power centers on the east coast at the time, the announcement came a month before the Mexican-American War had ended, and among the very few Americans that were near the region at the time, many of them were Army soldiers who were participating in the war and garrisoned there. San Francisco was still best known for being a Spanish military and missionary outpost during the colonial era, and only a few hundred called it home. Mexico’s independence, and its possession of those lands, had come only a generation earlier.
The flow of Chinese immigrants increased dramatically in 1852, sparked in large part by a crop failure in southern China that caused the custom houses in San Francisco to swell with 20,026 Chinese arrivals. Even more Chinese came as news reached China about the apparent ease of mining in California. By the end of the decade, ⅕ of the population of the Southern Mines consisted of Chinese miners. Chinese miners would become known as the most industrious and tireless of the miners, finding gold in claims that previous owners had thought depleted and persisting in mining an area far longer than others who eventually left the fields altogether.
In many ways, this represented the start of an influx of immigrants coming from Asia to the United States, kicking off an often turbulent relationship and history that would lead to alienation, conflicts, immigration quotas, and more. This book looks at that history from the start, and how it affected those who came from Asia in the 19th century.
