Call for contributions | Special Issue of International Journal of Training and Development: “The impact of skills and training on local development”, guest editor Martina Fuchs

Submitted by Chris Duke on February 23, 2021 - 09:48

Skills and training are key issues to improve local development, in the academic debate as well as in policy practice. This Special Issue focusses on vocational and professional education and training. These are activities relevant for business. They comprise technical and organisational skills and routines, social and self-competencies relevant to accomplish daily work tasks, and professional attitudes relevant for companies. Universities as sites of professional education play a role, as well as vocational schools and further public and private bodies.

I have been one of the journal’s editors since its inception in 2004. I am proud to be affiliated with American Scholars Press, founded by a former doctoral student of mine. IFOTS has a 16-history of publishing established authors in education as much as welcoming newcomers to our profession; we strive to provide a forum for those who teach and those who learn!

PIMA Bulletin No. 33 - November 2020

Submitted by Chris Duke on November 30, 2020 - 12:05

The expression used by the Queen of Britain of the death year of the 'people's princess' in the nineties well applies as 2020 departs. That was a one-family crisis; this is a people's crisis world-wide. It is the first truly global pandemic for a century, following World War One. Governance seems close to collapse: globally in the UN system; and in weak, near-failing nation-states or under harsh authoritarianism.

Professor Jim Gallacher

Submitted by Mike Osborne on November 10, 2020 - 09:59

On Saturday 31 October a great Scotsman died. Professor Jim Gallacher, for some four decades, was a driving force in the widening of access to higher education in Scotland, and in fostering the development of research in lifelong learning. He was a close personal friend and colleague of mine for over 30 years, and it is with great sadness that I write this account of his work.

In early January, at the 107th annual Indian Science Congress held in Bengaluru, the Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India shared its draft policy on Scientific Social Responsibility (SSR), inviting discussion. As a leading country with a strong base of modern science and its institutions, India’s efforts to prepare a framework of social responsibility of science is really very meaningful and important.
