Free Higher education...in Germany...
In mid-October …
German universities became all FREE…
After the last state –
lower Saxony – scarped tuitions all German universities became free…not only
for Germans, but to all Global Village citizens…
If you want
world-class education, but you are not able to pay the high tuition fees of
your country…like North American universities…, then it is time to plan and
pack and head to Germany…
WHERE EDUCATION IS
FREE…
So wherever you come
from, doors of elite institutions like the University of Heidelberg and Technical
University of Munich, both among the world's top 100 universities, are flung wide open if you're a gifted student.
- In Germany, you have to be more independent.
- In Germany higher education does not depend on the wealth of the parents.
- In Germany they say tuition fees are socially unjust… Minister of science and culture of the federal state of Hamburg, Dorothee Stapelfeldt, stated that tuition “particularly discourage young people who do not have a traditional academic family background…it is the core task of politics to ensure that young women and men can study with a high quality free of charge in Germany …”
Born out of the Cold
War in West Berlin, the Free University of Berlin is one of the most prominent
institutions in Germany. Its research specialties include social sciences and
humanities.
The picturesque town of Heildelberg is home to a prestigious university which ranks at number 49 in this year's QS World University Rankings.
With 25 Nobel prize winners
amongst its alumni, Humboldt University has established itself as one of the
most prestigious universities in Europe...

Universities are Not dens for Athletic careers...They are ACADEMIC institutions...
A damning report...Highlights...
- Report by investigator, Kenneth Wainstein, found advisers funneled athletes to "paper classes" ...
- At least, 3,100 students took those bogus classes, Kenneth Wainstein's report finds
- The report found that the practice of "paper calsses" is widespread...
- UNC's national championships could be on the line... (and who cares...) After all the university is an academic institution of higher learning...
For 18 years, the prestigious University of North Carolina athletes too FAKE "paper classes," in order to generate marks to stay in the athletic program...
When prestige and profit is ranked higher than academic honesty... When athletic programs are essential for an ACADEMIC institution... When athletic programs are not placed in proper perspective and subordinate to education...than STUPIDITY happens...
It was like that in my last teaching position... The athletic department had hijacked the institution...
UNC has long been a place where it was believed that athletics and
academics went hand in hand.
It has enjoyed a stellar reputation...
It produced Michael Jordan and others of fame...
Now, that reputation has been stained...
It always bothered me when my last school placed so much emphasis on athletics... instead of putting it in perspective that it is their just for the HEALTH of students and not for deciding their DESTINY...
For that i was targeted to racist remarks and uncultured behaviour...
At one time an elder teacher swear-laced his rant against me for about FIVE minutes... and that in front of a high ranking administrator...
Later in the day he came to me and apologized... "Sorry..." and all that BS...
I told him "You are already punished by God... You are what you are and I have no quarrels with you..."
In all, the report estimates, at least 3,100 students took the paper
classes, but adds the number "very likely falls far short of the true
number."
They graduated...But then they became part of the crowd...Cheaters and paddlers...

New models of education...
Armenia Hosts …
“Chess in Schools International
Conference…”
Armenia was the first country that introduced chess as part of the high
school curriculum…and now Armenia wants to spread the success to other
countries…
- The event brought 180 reps from 30 countries…
- The president of the republic and the president of the Armenian Chess Federation attended the opening…
- The speakers said the conference provides a wonderful opportunity to exchange experiences and to emphasize the importance of chess in the education system…
For more than twenty years, Chess-in-the-Schools has
placed chess teachers in hundreds of schools to teach thousands of children to
play chess. Since 2008 CIS started teaching New York City public school
teachers how to teach chess so even more children could benefit from this
amazing game. The benefits of learning chess include increased reading comprehension,
better problem solving skills, and even higher scores on standardized reading
tests. Now we want to share our proven curriculum with you so that even more
students can learn chess and improve their academic performance...
And now is the time to introduce chess in the curriculum too...
Beloved in Armenia, chess becomes a mandatory
part of the country's curriculum.
Classroom-ful of independent learning...
North America should introduce chess in the curriculum too...
“CHESS AT
SCHOOL" BECOMES ARMENIA'S EDUCATIONAL BRAND
The Armenian State
Pedagogical University on Friday hosted the international conference
"Chess in Schools" to raise the importance of the
teaching the intellectual game in secondary educational institutions. The
event brought together 180 participants of whom 50 were guests from 30
foreign countries.
In his address to
the participants, the Armenian Chess Federation's deputy president, Smbat
Lputoan, spoke of the positive effects of chess on the younger generation.
He described the game as a good way of developing a fair thinking in a
child.
"Armenia
is the first country that has included the chess in the curriculum as a
compulsory subject. The Armenian practice is exclusive and from the
very beginning we have created a new, competitive program, which we are
ready to share with the world. For the first time Armenia can propose to
the world the best educational practice.
"Chess at
School" project has become one of the educational brands of Armenia,"
said Armen Ashotyan, adding that the chess highly contributes to
development of leadership in children, strategic way of thinking, improves
the logic, develops new capacities.
"We do not
claim that all pupils become world and European champions, though we would
not be against. Our goal is to improve children's academic perceptions and
advance in other subjects through the chess.
And another First...ROBOTICS in the compulsory curriculum...
Armenia introduces Robotics in the curriculum... to be studied by all students...
A very forward looking initiative...
Robotics in the curriculum...Another first... Another GREAT idea... Visionary indeed...
Check to develop the reasoning and independent thinking in students and robotics to look forward to the future...
Instead of using technology just for "social media" and gossip... The students will use technology to create and become part of the future...
Learning will be fun and productive...
Europe is leading the way to reinvent education...
European Robotics Week...
German universities are FREE of the stresses of tuition and Free education will liberate the student to have more fun and learn better...
Free education will develop a new vision of society...
On the other hand,
Armenia is introducing robotics after they introduced chess into the curriculum...
May be North America should follow...
May be North American high schools and universities can reign their athletics programs JUST A BIT and emphasize education and free thinking and may be readjust our educational system to encourage more independent learning and less money and profit and make athletics more for health ... may be that way there will be no need for cheating...
