Bilan de l'activité "Parrainage en PACA" en 2012

http://www.espace-competences.org/Portals/_default/Skins/EspaceCompetences/imgs/header_numVert.jpgBilan de l'activité "Parrainage en PACA" en 2012
Suite à la commande de l'Etat et de la Région, le CARIF partenaire de l'animation régionale du réseau parrainage en PACA, a formalisé comme chaque année, le bilan de l'activité du parrainage pour les publics jeunes et adultes, avec les données de l'ARDML pour le public jeune.
En 2012, le dispositif régional a concerné 2 690 parrainés qui ont été accompagnés par 1 274 parrains. On observe une certaine stabilité chez les publics du réseau jeunes. L'augmentation des parrainés pour le réseau adultes s'explique par un nombre plus important d'opérateurs.
Un document de 4 pages reprend les principaux chiffres et faits marquants de l'année.

Toutes les Missions Locales de Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur animent un réseau de parrainage et l’ont intégré dans leur projet de structure. Le parrainage fait partie de l’offre de services des Missions Locales à travers l’accompagnement des jeunes dans leur parcours d’insertion. Chaque réseau dispose d’au moins un animateur parrainage qui joue un rôle central dans le processus d’interaction entre les différents acteurs (jeunes, parrains, entreprises et structures).

Student Loan Rates Double as Congress Dismisses Education

http://guardianlv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/main-logo.pngBy Patricia Baeten. The Senate adjourned for the July 4 recess on Thursday, but failed to keep interest rates on Stafford loans at the current 3.4 percent rate. The federally subsidized loans are set to expire on July 1, after which the interest rate cap will rise to 6.8 percent. Congress ignores students and dismisses education as unimportant. Sallie Mae is a former government-sponsored enterprise that was fully privatized in 2004 and now trades publicly as SLM Corp. Sallie Mae the private lender that has been generating enormous profits thanks to soaring student debt and the climbing cost of education. Since the privatization of Sallie Mae, on average the annual cost of education at public schools has risen 57 percent since 2005 to nearly $18,000, according to College Board figures Sallie Mae cites in its latest quarterly pitch to investors. Students at private schools are paying more than $39,000, or nearly 44 percent more than they did in 2005. Read more...

College tuition hurts more than interest rates

http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/simgad/16524388602446689066Congress left Washington without keeping the interest rate on student loans from doubling today, soaring from 3.2 percent to 6.4 percent. While that’s bad news for students and their families, it could be worse. Most people don’t borrow in July, and Congress will be back later this summer with time to find a compromise before school starts in the fall. What should be troubling, though, is the failure of the government to deal with interest rates, which should be the easy part of the college affordability problem.
A bigger cause of concern is the constantly rising principal of student loans, not the interest. College costs continue to rise, and students are expected to pay a bigger share of the cost of their education. That means many potential students either are priced out of starting college or forced to leave before acquiring a degree. Read more...

How diversity can benefit all on college campuses

http://www.goerie.com/graphics/logo.pngBy Cokie & Steve Roberts. It was graduation weekend at George Washington University, where Steve has taught for the last 23 years. At a brunch for students and their families, one group stood out: a half-dozen women in brightly colored hijabs, traditional Muslim headscarves. They were there to support and celebrate Aliya, an honors graduate who also headed the Muslim Students' Association on campus.
We thought of that scene last week when the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in the University of Texas affirmative action case. Liberals were pleased that the court left standing the university's system for promoting diversity; conservatives were encouraged by the directive that lower courts review the system and subject it to "strict scrutiny."

Fixing the higher ed system requires a balanced approach

http://www.universitybusiness.com/sites/all/themes/u_business/images/Cover.jpgByThomas L. Hellie. Education leaders must weigh benefits of collaboration versus uniformity. Recently, I participated in a meeting of Oregon college presidents that explored ways to streamline educational offerings and create efficiencies based on one another’s strengths. Though together we arrived at similar conclusions, the strength of America’s higher education system is found in its diversity of approaches. To be truly effective, we must also be distinctive, offering a wide set of alternatives to our students. Read more...

First responder spirit thrives in American higher education

http://www.universitybusiness.com/sites/all/themes/u_business/images/Cover.jpgByJames Martin and James E. Samels. As the rest of world gets on with their lives, those of us who call Massachusetts home are reminded daily of why the Bay State has always been Boston Strong. Speaking at a national interfaith service after the Marathon bombings, President Obama remarked, “We may be momentarily knocked off our feet. But we’ll pick ourselves up. We’ll keep going. We will finish the race.” On international news channels, former Chief Strategist to the White House and Director of the Institute for Politics at the University of Chicago, David Axelrod, responded by simply declaring, “Let’s just make it clear that we’re going to get the people responsible.” Read more...

Two-year college students face more money stress

http://www.universitybusiness.com/sites/default/files/UBTech_leadership.jpgBy Kylie Lacey. Learning how to better manage money may help aid in community college student completion. Nearly one in five get so worried about finances, they think about dropping out, according to the “Inceptia National Financial Aptitude Analysis” report. Only 7 percent of four-year students experience such intense stress. Two-year students typically work more hours than four-year students and may have families to provide for, says Kate Trombitas, vice president of financial education for Inceptia. “This means a more complicated financial life.” Read more...

Risk, responsibility, and public academics

By . As my last academic event of the season, I attended Worldviews 2013: Global Trends in Media and Higher Education in Toronto on June 20th and 21st. I’m not going to write about the panel in which I participated (“Who are the MOOC users?”, with Joe Wilson, Aron Solomon, and Andrew Ng), since I’ve already spent enough time thinking and writing about that issue of late. But there was another very interesting theme that I noticed coming up throughout the conference. In a number of the sessions I attended, I heard emphasis being placed on the need for researchers and academics to communicate more with publics beyond the specialist audiences that have, until recently, been the norm.

How to address the international agenda

http://www.universityaffairs.ca/uploadedImages/ua_junejuly2013_KRW_Gold_Seal_100x100.jpgBy Diana Warwick. Universities’ international agenda, much broader than in the past, needs to involve many kinds of university staff. A conference on international trends in higher education for senior university administrators took place in Ottawa during the last week in June, drawing speakers from the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, China, the United States and France, as well as Canada. The conference, called “Canadian universities in a global context: a dialogue on international trends and opportunities,” was convened by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada and the University of Alberta and chaired by Carl Amrhein , provost and vice-president academic at U of A.

The rise of the ‘non-traditional’ student

http://www.universityaffairs.ca/uploadedImages/ua_junejuly2013_KRW_Gold_Seal_100x100.jpgBy .They are now the majority of students worldwide, their expectations are different, and universities must step up to the challenge or be left behind. Most universities focus on traditional students – those who enter straight from high school, study full-time and live on or near campus. However, non-traditional students – older, part-time and often returning to their education mid-career – are actually the majority of students and their expectations can be very different, said Joseph Aoun, president of Boston’s Northeastern University. “They’re telling us, ‘Things are changing, wake up.’” Read more...
