Quality Education

INFORMATION
Quality Education
Quality Assurance in Education is a journal which is committed to a critical examination of quality and related issues in education. It devotes itself to the dissemination of best practice on the management of change and improvement in the higher education. It invites insights into the perceptions and opinions of quality in education of a number of stakeholders to gain a balanced view.
Topicality
The journal seeks to contribute to developing effective strategies to deal with the complex and uncertain environment in which education now operates. Furthermore the journal will ask what lessons, if any, can be learned from industry and to what extent industry can learn from education. The aim is to compare and evaluate perceptions of quality by a number of stakeholders.
The contents of the journal will therefore serve a number of purposes:

Stimulate and encourage debate.
Reflect best practice.
Influence and determine policy.

INFORMATION
Issues in Education
Education, Business and Society: Contemporary Middle Eastern Issues provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss, analyse and shape the social, economic and political terrain of the Middle East. Multidisciplinary in scope, the journal will provide theory-based research, and both quantitative and qualitative empirical studies on contemporary issues and debates. The journal will also combine a region-specific orientation with a comparative approach.
Editorial Criteria

Research papers by new and established scholars who want to add depth of understanding about the culture, heritage and intricacies of the Middle East
Practice-based studies or observations
Reviews of books and other scholarly works in print, multimedia and on the web
Timely publication of research on Middle Eastern issues from a variety of perspectives and discipline areas

The journal views education, business and society as overlapping and interlocking constructs that provide coverage of most of the contemporary developments in the Middle East. Accordingly, the following list of potential coverage topics represents a somewhat artificial division of subject matter among the three areas. Nonetheless, it is provided as an aid for potential contributors and readers of the journal.

Topicality

The Middle East is critical to any understanding of the contemporary world. Home of much of the world's oil reserves, and hence central to global energy issues, as well as unwitting host to the conflicts that have in many ways become the litmus test of east-west relations, including the Israeli-Palestinian struggle and more recently the Iraq war, the region assumes a significance that far outweighs its geographical size or population. The Middle East is also a region that has gone through - and continues to experience - startling change, progress and development in many sectors, wrought by industrialization, urbanization and modernization. In coming decades, the impact of these changes, the continuation or resolution of the above regional conflicts, along with the challenges of implementing human development policies and political revitalization, all comprise the complex array of factors that will be key to the region's long-term development and hence to world economic and political security.

Unique Attributes

As yet, the Middle East and its many complexities have been under-represented in serious academic debate. Academic interest in the area is, however, growing exponentially, and there is a need for a publication which can capture and harvest knowledge, expertise and debate about the region. Education, Business and Society: Contemporary Middle Eastern Issues seeks to fill this void.
Key Journal Audiences
Academics, practitioners and students interested in contributing to knowledge of, or gaining insight into, topical issues in Middle Eastern education or business specifically and Middle Eastern society in general.

INFORMATION
Education Issues

Current Issues in Education (CIE) is an open access peer-reviewed academic education journal sponsored by the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College of Arizona State University. This journal is produced by ASU graduate students and publishes articles on a broad range of education topics that are timely and have relevance in the field of education (pre-K, K-12, and higher education) both nationally and internationally. We seek scholarship that tackes issues facing our field at new levels and in new ways.
We publish articles on topics such as curriculum and instruction, leadership and policy, social and philosophical foundations, psychology, technology, school counseling, applied practice, and research methodology in education.
CIE has three goals with its published research: (1) promote scholarly thought in the field of education, (2) facilitate and heighten dialogues between educators, scholars, officials, and the public, and (3) further connections between research and policy.
Articles are published on a revolving basis within issues that reflect ASU's academic semesters: Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Cable News Network (CNN) is a U.S. cable news channel founded in 1980 by Ted Turner.Upon its launch, CNN was the first channel to provide 24-hour television news coverage,and the first all-news television channel in the United States.While the news channel has numerous affiliates, CNN primarily broadcasts from its headquarters at the CNN Center in Atlanta, the Time Warner Center in New York City, and studios in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. CNN is owned by parent company Time Warner, and the U.S. news channel is a division of the Turner Broadcasting System.
CNN is sometimes referred to as CNN/U.S. to distinguish the American channel from its international counterpart, CNN International. As of August 2010, CNN is available in over 100 million U.S. households.Broadcast coverage extends to over 890,000 American hotel rooms,and the U.S broadcast is also shown in Canada. Globally, CNN programming airs through CNN International, which can be seen by viewers in over 212 countries and territories.Starting late 2010, the domestic version CNN/U.S., is available in high definition to viewers in Japan under the name CNN HD.
The Cable News Network was launched at 5:00 p.m. EST on Sunday June 1, 1980. After an introduction by Ted Turner, the husband and wife team of David Walker and Lois Hart anchored the first newscast.Burt Reinhardt, the then executive vice president of CNN, hired most of CNN's first 200 employees, including the network's first news anchor, Bernard Shaw.
Since its debut, CNN has expanded its reach to a number of cable and satellite television companies, several web sites, specialized closed-circuit channels (such as CNN Airport Network), and a radio network. The company has 36 bureaus (10 domestic, 26 international), more than 900 affiliated local stations, and several regional and foreign-language networks around the world. The channel's success made a bona-fide mogul of founder Ted Turner and set the stage for the Time Warner conglomerate's eventual acquisition of Turner Broadcasting.
A companion channel, CNN2, was launched on January 1, 1982 and featured a continuous 24-hour cycle of 30-minute news broadcasts. A year later, it changed its name to "CNN Headline News", and eventually it was simply called "Headline News". (In 2005, Headline News would break from its original format with the addition of Headline Prime, a prime-time programming block that features news commentary; and in 2008 the channel changed its name again, to "HLN".)

INFORMATION
Nyc Board of Education
The New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) is the branch of municipal government in New York City that manages the city's public school system. It is the largest school system in the United States, with over 1.1 million students taught in more than 1,700 separate schools.The department covers all five boroughs of New York City.
The department is run by the New York City School Chancellor. The current chancellor is Dennis M. Walcott, who replaced Cathie Black after the latter stepped down after fewer than one hundred days on the job.
Because of its immense size—there are more students in the system than people in eight U.S. states—the New York City public school system is arguably the most influential in the United States.
In 1969, on the heels of a series of strikes and demands for community control, New York City Mayor John Lindsay relinquished mayoral control of schools, and organized the city school system into the Board of Education (made up of seven members appointed by borough presidents and the mayor) and 32 community school boards (whose members were elected). Elementary and middle schools were controlled by the community boards, while high schools were controlled by the Board of Education.In 2002, the city's school system was reorganized. Control of the school system was given to the mayor, who began reorganization and reform efforts. The community school boards were abolished and the Board of Education was renamed the Department of Education. The education headquarters were moved from 110 Livingston Street in downtown Brooklyn to the Tweed Courthouse building adjacent to New York City Hall in Manhattan.
Due to an ongoing power struggle between the Democratic and Republican parties, state senators failed to renew mayoral control of the city's school system by 12:00 a.m. EDT on July 1, 2009, immediately ceding control back to the pre-2002 Board of Education system. Mayor Bloomberg announced summer school sessions would be held without interruption while city attorneys oversaw the transition of power.On August 6, 2009, the state senate ratified the bill returning control of the schools back to the mayor for another six years with few changes from the 2002-2009 mayoral control structure
