Introduction
This assignment will look at the IMI Level 2 Diploma in Motor vehicle Maintenance and Repair course. This is to look at the impact on government funding cuts and how this affects the development of the course, the lecturers who deliver the course content and the effects it has on the students.
City of Wolverhampton College had been delivering this course through the institute of motor industry (IMI) for the past 10 years, the IMI is a world recognised awards body which specifically designs courses for the automotive trade, they have strong links with many manufacturer training providers such as BMW, Volvo and Kia, because of this the IMI wanted to produce an online platform which can be accessed …show more content…

The downside to this is that it is quite time consuming, once the cycle is revised in some way it needs to start again. This makes some aspects of the cyclical model similar to the linear model of Tyler (1949) which has similar rigidities, however it does not include the additional teaching that takes place, Nicholls and Nicholls (1978) states “All the opportunities planned by teachers for …show more content…

College’s and awarding bodies have had to adapt to theses economical changes and in doing so have had to re think course frameworks and curriculums, for example the IMI valeting course Level 1 certificate and level 2 diploma are no longer being funded for 16 to 19 year old due to the course being too specific to one subject, the IMI state that “Vocational qualifications for under-16s are now required to give pupils a ‘breadth of learning across a sector’, rather than in one particular job” (http://awarding.theimi.org.uk) and this had led to the Education Funding agency (EFA) no longer funding this course so the IMI have incorporated some sections of it into the full level 1 diploma in maintenance and repair course and added additional subject content so the course fit into the funded bracket.
This year Istudy has also been implemented across the level 2 and 3 motor vehicle diploma courses and this is a direct consequence of the funding cuts being made to FE. The students will now need to sit a one hour session where they will access the college Moodle site and work though online course content without a course specialist/tutor, this year ten percent of the course will need to be carried out by the students with

In Andrew Braaksma’s essay “Lessons from the Assembly Line” (Braaksma, 2005), he recalls his time as a free-spirited college student that moonlights as an automotive assembly plant worker during summer vacation. The essay shifts from his grueling experiences on the line to his easygoing life as a student, highlighting the disparity between the two worlds. Ultimately, he comes to a better understanding of the advantages he has in life while simultaneously recognizing that real-world experience is another useful form of education. The main points of Braaksma’s article are showcasing the life struggles of the average blue-collar worker and underscoring the importance of a formal education.

Many kids and teens forget basic skills over a very long summer break. It can be hard to re-learn and to re-teach as a student and a teacher. In Year Round School How it Affects Students by Matthew Lynch and The Pros and Cons of Year-Round School by Scholastic explains the problem with the traditional schedule. The Year-Round School schedule is superior to the traditional schedule because students are less likely to froget concepts, are more willing to focus, and still ‘have time to have fun. The biggest problem, with the traditional schedule, is students forget already taught concepts.

Diganta,1 Dipta Sarothi Diganta ENG3U Teacher: Miss Amellia January 18, 2023 War’s Trauma in “A Perfect Day For Bananafish” and “The Sniper” The trauma of war is a prevalent theme in literature, and J.D. Salinger's "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" and Liam O'Flaherty's "The Sniper" are two stories that effectively depict this theme through their use of symbolism and characterization. By using symbolism to illustrate the destructive nature of war and characterization to convey the emotional and psychological effects of war on the individual, these stories serve as powerful examples of the lasting impact of war on individuals. Despite their different literary techniques, J.D. Salinger's "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" and Liam O'Flaherty's "The Sniper" both effectively depict the destructive and lasting impact of war on individuals through their use of symbolism and characterization, highlighting the emotional and psychological trauma caused by war.

I believe that year round schooling will greatly benefit students, teachers, and families. " Since most of us grew up with the traditional calendar, changing to year-round [suggests] that we did it wrong.... It is human nature to resist change, (but) I believe the traditional nine months on, three months off calendar is educational malpractice," said Nautilus Elementary school Principal, Hazel Colebank (qtd. In Chaika).

Traditional school schedules have kids in school from late summer until late spring, the year-round schedule has kids in school all year but the difference is there are longer breaks in the year-round schedule. It is time to switch from the traditional schedule to the year-round schedule because students learn better and don’t lose information over a long summer break, is more convenient for everyone and reduces the stress of school and makes it more enjoyable. To begin students under the current school schedule where there is one long break in the summer are more vulnerable to losing the information they have learned the past year. Summer break causes students to forget material that they have learned which causes problems because it wastes

In the past decade, attempts from the Australian government to create growth through government spending has seen the creation of more debt than national income (see figure 4 below). With the aforementioned limited intervention and holistic competitiveness focus in mind, Shumpeter’s opinion of educational investment with the government is to create a system of skill availability within the expected price range individuals seeking this skill would be assumed able to pay in order to enter the workforce prepared. This approach corresponds with the government’s initiative where “States and territories will be able to access the fund (Skilling Australians Fund) for the explicit purpose of supporting up to 300,000 apprenticeship, traineeship and higher-level skilled workers”. This increases the availability of VET jobs to individuals who do not seek higher skilled professions, enabling more than just the higher paid professions to become a competitive employment prospect. Another aspect of this is to make domestic individuals more competitive than foreigners.

Since at least the 1970’s, the topic of year-round schooling has been debated by many people. This new system is spreading across the nation fast, in fact, in 2011-12, there were about 3700 schools that operated on the year-round schedule. (Zubrzycki 1,3). Like any other controversial topic, there are both benefits and drawbacks to the year-round schooling system. For instance, a definite benefit would be that, “...with one group of students always on vacation, a school that was built for 750 students can serve as many as 1000.

One of the most controversial topics in politics today is whether abortion should be legal. This is a highly-debated topic because there are so many factors that come into play when it comes to abortion. Some politicians play the card that a woman has the right to choose what is right for her body, if she can care for the infant at that particular time in her life because the pregnancy was not planned. Another factor that comes into play for supporting abortion is whether the child will be born with a handicap. Although abortion has been accepted by some states, we have to consider what the ethical issues that surround abortion are and what the bible has to say about the

The education system produces skills that are not valued by employers, while raising the expectations of those who acquire them. Consequently, the unemployed do not take up existing job vacancies, and employers are unwilling to hire available candidates (Njonjo, 2010). The mismatch is more marked for school leavers and graduates who have just finished school, partly providing an explanation for the high unemployment rate among youth and new entrants into the job market. The suggested remedy is to reform the education system and increase focus on technical education and vocational training, matching them to the needs of the job market (Coenjaerts et al. 2009).
