A School as a Living Entity

Rea Taylor Gill
The Growth and Development of a School as a Living Entity
In what way can a school be seen as a living entity? When a school's operating systems and organizational structure are intentionally differentiated based on Threefold principles the school becomes a dynamic, effective and vibrant entity. In this thorough and clearly written book, the author explains how the people who serve in a cultural organization like a school can guide its healthy development. The foreword is written by Torin Finser.

Global conference in Antalya, Turkey

The International Co-operative Alliance will hold its next global conference in Antalya, Turkey during the week of 9-13 November. The theme is “Towards 2020: What will your co-operative look like”?

Youth are a very important part of the future of the co-operative movement and are included in the Blueprint for a Co-operative Decade found at http://ica.coop/en/blueprint-co-op-decade. Therefore, we would like to encourage the youth movement to be part of the conference instead of holding a separate youth conference as in the past.

We need your help – please provide us with any ideas you have of excellent youth speakers who could speak during the conference as well as any ideas you have for sub-themes during the conference workshops. Please provide these ideas to Rodrigo Gouveia, Director of Policy at gouveia@ica.coop

Estimada Red de Juventud Cooperativa mundial:

La Alianza Cooperativa Internacional mantendrá su próxima Conferencia en Antalya, Turquía, durante la semana del 9 al 13 de noviembre. El tema es “Hacia el 2020: ¿Cómo se verá tu cooperativa?”

La juventud es una parte importante del futuro del movimiento cooperativo y está incluida en el Blueprint para una Década Cooperativa, que puedes encontrar en http://ica.coop/en/blueprint-co-op-decade. Por lo tanto, queremos animar al movimiento de la juventud a ser parte de la Conferencia, en vez de mantener una conferencia de juventud por separado, como en el pasado.

Para ello necesitamos tu ayuda – por favor envíanos aquellas ideas que tengas de oradores jóvenes que puedan hablar durante la conferencia, así como cualquier otra idea que tengas sobre temáticas para los talleres que se desarrollarán durante la conferencia. Por favor, envía estas ideas a Rodrigo Gouveia, Director de Política, agouveia@ica.coop

With best regards

TGOU university does not count the marks of Master's Thesis

TGOU university, Nagaland does not count the marks of Master's Thesis for Postgraduate degrees and the Bachelor's Thesis in the Bachelor Degrees offered through distance education.

If there are 5 papers in the First Year and 5 papers in the Second year, the marks are counted out of 1000 for percentage. It should have counted 100 marks for Thesis also, nor does it depict in the marksheet anything about the Thesis. In the rules, however, it mentions that every student has to submit a thesis before appearing of the final examination.

Some courses have only 4 papers in the second year.

Moreover, the courses of TGOU are not recognised by the Distance Education Bureau (DEB) of UGC. The University has also not updated the students with any news of whether they are doing anything to get recognition from the DEB.
