Education Reform in Lithuania, Japan and Canada
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 16 page paper on education reform in Lithuania, Japan and Canada. The paper includes an outline and summary/introduction as well. Within the last decade, the countries of Lithuania, Japan and Canada have seen a great many education reforms. While in some cases, there are similar characteristics and trends in the reforms, in other cases, the reforms are considerably different. Since its independence, Lithuanian education reform has focused a great deal on renewing the curriculum to do away with all of the Soviet ideologies, creating an educational system which is similar and competitive with the European market yet also allow for autonomy of institutions for research and education which they were denied in the Soviet era. Japanese reforms have led to a system where the teachers and students are less reliant on a standard and limited curriculum and instead has recently emphasized less stress within the educational environment, shorter school weeks and hours spent in school and more emphasis on “integrated learning” where students are taught how to learn. Within the last two decades in Canada, education reform has undergone several processes. Some of the earlier processes were similar to those within Lithuania and Japan in regards to an integrated curriculum, however many teachers felt these programs were not well supported or consistent across the territorial and provincial systems. In addition, most education “reforms” in Canada within the last decade have focused more so on cost reduction which has not only removed the teachers from the reform process but has also had little consideration for the impact of significantly reduced spending on the students and learning.

Effects of Khrushchev's Destalinization of Russia
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper
discussing how the policies of Stalin's successor affected the people of the former Soviet Union.
Under Khrushchev, there were several areas in which Russian citizens could expect to live longer
lives than under Stalin, but Khrushchev did not materially improve the plight of the people in
terms of any sort of freedom. Any superficial relaxation of restrictive rules was orchestrated for
the good of the party and the state; the people and their efforts were merely fuel for the party
machinery. Khrushchev's liberalization policies of destalinization changed only those conditions
that could not be sustainable. Identification of those areas was dependent on Khrushchev's
abilities of perception; while he identified several important areas, he failed to recognize the need
for reform of other areas of Russian life as well, including religion. Bibliography lists 10 sources
in 27 footnotes.
