By Nyshka Chandran. Australia is the world's most expensive destination for foreign students, but thanks to a weakening currency, the popular venue for education is set to become more affordable. According to a report from HSBC, Australia currently tops the rankings of the costliest nations for higher education, with annual expenses topping $38,000 a year.

By Rohan Mukherjee. Our size and ambition should dictate a more cosmopolitan world view, especially in our restrictive visa regime. Visas are once again a sticking point for Indian diplomacy. Britain and America may soon implement policies that inconvenience Indians going abroad for tourism and work. New Delhi has protested these moves, and threatens to challenge the American proposal at the WTO. Read more...

Wer anders ist, hat es in Schulen, an Unis und am Arbeitsplatz schwer: Kinder mit Migrationshintergrund, Behinderte und Homosexuelle leiden häufig unter Diskriminierung, wie eine Studie des Bundes zeigt. Hilfe bekommen die Betroffenen zu selten.
Es fängt häufig schon in der Kita an, geht in der Schule weiter, sogar an der Hochschule und später im Arbeitsleben: Diskriminierung gehört an Schulen und Universitäten zum Alltag. Das zeigt eine Studie der Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes (ADS), die heute dem Bundestag vorgelegt werden soll (hier finden Sie die Studie). Demnach fühlt sich jeder vierte Schüler oder Student mit ausländischen Wurzeln diskriminiert. Schülerinnen und Schüler würden aufgrund ihres türkischen oder arabischen Hintergrunds oft beschimpft.

Opening the frontiers of continuing vocational training. By Isabelle Marion, Martine Möbus, Michel Théry. Training and Employment, n° 71, 2006, 4 p.
In France, adults have generally undergone continuing vocational training during their working hours so far and the aim has not usually been to obtain a diploma. The way the educational system and the labour market are set up has resulted in a sharper divide occurring here than else wherein Europe between the age at which people undergo their studies and that at which they pursue their careers. In 2004, however, the French continuing vocational training (CVT) system underwent some major reforms. The measures adopted, which focused for example on individuals' right to vocational training and "professionalizing periods", have transformed the relationships between learning and working. Will these measures suffice to shift the frontiers of continuing vocational training and set France on the lines initiated by the European Union with a view to creating a continuum of lifelong education and training ?

Raising awareness among science students of their future careers and employability. By M. Baslé, J.-M. Dubois. Training and Employment, n° 105, 2013, 4p.
Long sheltered from unemployment, science students today have to give some thought to preparing for their entry into working life. The French Science Insert project, selected from among the projects funded by the Fonds d’expérimentation pour la jeunesse/Fund for Experimental Youth Projects, is equipping them with the tools they require for this purpose. The method adopted to evaluate the project, the so-called double difference method, can be used to show that the awareness-raising measures developed in the course of the project are appropriate.

Making the transition from higher education to work: the variable effects of vocational courses. By Julien Calmand, Virginie Mora. Training and Employment, n° 97, 2012, 4 p.
Young people who left higher education in 2007 have found it more difficult to find employment as a result of the economic crisis, as the 2010 survey of 2007 cohort of HE leavers shows. However, although unemployment has increased, job quality has, on average, been maintained.Moreover, while vocational bachelor’s degrees are proving successful, the other vocational qualifications do not all offer the same level of protection against the crisis.
