October 15 marks a significant day in the history of education, commemorating various milestones that have shaped the educational landscape across the globe. This date serves as a reminder of the progress made in the pursuit of knowledge and the ongoing efforts to make education accessible and inclusive for all. One of the notable events celebrated on this day is the establishment of the first public school in the United States. Founded in 1635 in Boston, Massachusetts, the Boston Latin School set a precedent for public education in America, emphasizing the importance of providing free education to children regardless of their socio-economic background. Additionally, October 15 is recognized for the groundbreaking work of education reformers like Horace Mann, who is often referred to as the 'Father of the American Public School System.' Mann's advocacy for universal public education and his belief in its power to transform society laid the foundation for modern educational practices. Internationally, October 15 also highlights the efforts of organizations like UNESCO, which have been instrumental in promoting education as a fundamental human right. UNESCO's initiatives have focused on reducing disparities in education access and improving the quality of education globally, particularly in developing countries. Moreover, this date is celebrated for the advancements in higher education, such as the founding of prominent universities and colleges that have become centers of excellence and innovation. These institutions have played a crucial role in advancing research and fostering intellectual growth. In essence, October 15 serves as a day to reflect on the achievements in the field of education, recognize the challenges that remain, and recommit to the goal of providing equitable and quality education for everyone. #milestonesineducationhistory #educationhistory #BostonLatinSchoolLegacy #HoraceMannLegacy #UNESCOEducationEfforts #PublicSchoolRevolution #HigherEducationAdvancements #GlobalEducationEquality

October 14 marks several significant milestones in the history of education. Throughout the years, this date has witnessed pivotal moments that have shaped the educational landscape globally. From the establishment of influential educational institutions to groundbreaking educational reforms, these milestones serve as reminders of the progress made in the pursuit of knowledge. One notable event that took place on October 14 is the founding of the University of Copenhagen in 1479. As one of the oldest universities in Northern Europe, it has been a center for learning and research, contributing significantly to the academic and cultural development of Denmark and beyond. The university has produced numerous scholars and Nobel laureates, driven by its commitment to excellence in education and research. Another significant milestone is the introduction of the Education Act of 1870 in England, also known as the Forster Act, which came into effect on October 14. This act laid the foundation for compulsory education for children between the ages of 5 and 13, marking a major step forward in making education accessible to all children, regardless of their social background. It was a key moment in addressing educational inequality and ensuring that every child had the right to learn. In more recent history, October 14 has also been a day for launching initiatives aimed at promoting education in developing countries. For instance, the Global Partnership for Education was established on this date to improve education outcomes in the world's poorest countries. By focusing on building strong education systems, it aims to reduce educational disparities and empower children with the skills needed for a better future. These milestones highlight the importance of October 14 as a day of reflection on the strides made in education and a reminder of the ongoing efforts needed to ensure equitable access to quality education for all. As we celebrate these historical events, it serves as a call to action to continue advocating for educational reforms and innovations that will benefit future generations. #milestonesineducationhistory #educationhistory #UniversityOfCopenhagen #ForsterAct1870 #EducationForAll #GlobalEducationPartnership #HistoricEducationReforms #EquitableEducationForAll

October 16 marks a significant day in the history of education, celebrating milestones that have shaped the way knowledge is imparted and institutions are structured today. This day serves as a reminder of the progress made in educational reforms and the pivotal events that have contributed to the development of modern education systems around the world. One of the most notable events commemorated on October 16 is the founding of the University of Leiden in 1575. Established during the Dutch Revolt, it became a bastion of freedom of thought and scientific inquiry, attracting scholars and students who would go on to make significant contributions to various fields of study. The university's emphasis on academic freedom and innovative approaches to teaching set a precedent for higher education institutions globally. Another important milestone remembered on this day is the establishment of the World Teachers' Day by UNESCO in the 20th century. Although World Teachers' Day is officially celebrated on October 5, many educational institutions and organizations extend the celebration to October 16 to emphasize the critical role teachers play in shaping future generations. This extended celebration highlights the ongoing need for supporting educators through better training, resources, and working conditions. October 16 also marks the anniversary of the founding of the first public school in America, the Boston Latin School, which was established in 1635. As the oldest existing school in the United States, it has laid the groundwork for public education and has been a model for many other schools across the nation. Its establishment underscores the long-standing value placed on accessible education for all children, regardless of their socio-economic status. These milestones, celebrated on October 16, serve as a reminder of the enduring impact educational advancements have on society. They encourage reflection on the progress made and the work that still needs to be done to ensure that education remains a universal right, accessible and equitable for all. #milestonesineducationhistory #educationhistory #LeidenUniversity1575 #WorldTeachersDayExtended #BostonLatinSchool1635 #AcademicFreedomLegacy #PublicEducationPioneer #InnovativeTeachingTraditions

Recognizing this urgent moment for American higher education and our democracy, Carnegie Mellon University President Farnam Jahanian is joining 60 other college presidents of diverse institutions from across the country to advance higher education’s pivotal role in preparing students to be engaged citizens and to uphold free expression on campus. The College Presidents for Civic Preparedness, a consortium designed by Institute for Citizens & Scholars, includes participating presidents who are dedicated to preparing the next generation of well-informed, productively engaged, and committed citizens; defending free expression, civil discourse, and critical inquiry as essential civic norms; and increasing thoughtful engagement and better understanding by students for the effective functioning of our democracy. “In today's increasingly fractured world, promoting civic engagement and modeling civil discourse is precisely the role that higher education can and should play. Carnegie Mellon University is deeply committed to serving in this role and sees the work of supporting the exchange of knowledge and perspectives as foundational to our mission,” said CMU President Farnam Jahanian.

"Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson and Bernard E. Harcourt reimagine the university as a multi-stakeholder cooperative of faculty, students, staff, and community on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. "The university, as a collegium of scholars and students, is under threat across the globe and in the United States. State governments are interfering with academic freedom and knowledge, dictating what can and cannot be taught. Private donors are interfering with the scholarly project and the discourse of learning. Whether at public universities or private universities, the climate of learning has become intolerable. "Join us for an exploration with Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson of another model: a multi-stakeholder cooperative university run by and for those who want to learn–the faculty and students. The model dates back to the Middle Ages at least, when universities were first born as cooperatives of faculty or of students. Let’s explore together a new model for learning in the twenty-first century! Welcome to Coöperism 13/13!"

Excited that my paper "The future of higher education and the claim of globalisation: revisioning the past, re-imagining the future" has just been published in Globalisation, Societies and Education. The paper discusses how a particular globalist imaginary has taken hold of how we think about higher education, including how its history is being reconstructed in historical-sociological narratives that posit a transition from a nation-state centred to a globally oriented university. This globalist imaginary configures discourses on higher education futures and simultaneously reconstructs the history of higher education in terms of a process of global isomorphism. In this paper, we discuss several misconceptions related to this globalist historiography and argue for a more nuanced understanding of the past of higher education, which reflects the multifaceted nature of higher education’s history and paves the way for higher education futures that are different from the ones proposed under the banner of globalisation. https://lnkd.in/d2Eg9Zsf

After having just spent a week training in Portland Oregon with Dr Archer, I cannot recommend this event more. Knowing HOW to teach is so important, and to be honest I question that we have focussed on this as much as we should have in NZ. My experience both learning about and coaching others in their Structured Literacy implementation has provided the gift of truly learning HOW to teach according to the Science of Learning. #structuredliteracy #scienceoflearning #idealapproach
We are thrilled to introduce one of our keynote speakers, non other than the incredible Dr. Anita Archer! Dr. Archer is a renowned educational consultant who works with state departments and school districts on explicit instruction and literacy. She has presented in all 50 US states and numerous countries, earning ten awards for her contributions to education. Dr. Archer has also served on the faculties of the University of Washington, University of Oregon, and San Diego State University. At the 2024 Literacy Symposium, Dr. Archer is presenting a session titled "Getting Them All Engaged – The Power of Active Participation." In this session, she will outline the critical components essential for effective instruction and demonstrate how and when to apply them to maximize student learning. We are eagerly looking forward to hosting Dr. Archer as we gather to learn from international experts in reading instruction. It's time to think deeply about practice, be inspired, and hear the research. Join us for an inspiring event. Wellington: Tuesday, August 20 | Auckland: Thursday, August 22 https://lnkd.in/gmYm9c5p #CultivatingTheLiteracyLandscape #2024LiteracySymposium

Ezekiel Emanuel and Harun Küçük chime in on a topic that has become increasingly universal. Liberal arts education matters! “… Although we like to set ourselves apart from the past by appeals to modernity, the fundamental questions that we find ourselves asking are not always modern, and the latest answer is not always right. But how would you know how to think beyond the readily presented check boxes if you haven’t done the work of laying things out and putting them back together for yourself? War was no less a concern for Thucydides, Tacitus and Thoreau than it is today. Discussing Great Books allows students to gain distance from the daily noise and allows their reason to roam free among principles and foundations rather than becoming absorbed in contemporary events. Our biggest problems are often best addressed not by leaning in but by stepping away to reflect on enduring perspectives. Liberal arts education is not value neutral. That is why it is indispensable today. Freedom of thought, critical reasoning, empathy for others and respectful disagreement are paramount for a flourishing democratic society. Without them, we get the unreasoned condemnations so pervasive in today’s malignant public discourse. With them, we have a hope of furthering the shared governance that is vital to America’s pluralistic society. …”
