Multicultural education in Thailand

This study examines multicultural education policy in Thailand. The researcher used the qualitative research methods of interviewing, observation and document examination to obtain data. Theory about multicultural education was used as a theoretical framework. The sites of study were eight primary schools that served students from diverse cultures – Muslim, Buddhist, Burmese, Cambodian and Thai – in the southern provinces of Thailand. Results showed that current educational policies do provide opportunity for migrant students to access public education. The Ministry of Education has allowed schools to apply their own rules and regulations that reflect the diverse cultures of their students. The results also show that the curriculum includes references to various cultures, that textbooks contain content that encourages students to live in harmony with people from different cultures and that some schools have implemented bilingual education programs. However, deeper analysis of school practices made it clear that what seems to be an acceptance of cultural diversity is just another form of assimilation. The well-established features that define Thainess remain intact and the inclusion of culturally specific content is insufficient to change the unequal power relations among dominant and minority groups in Thailand.

基于异质生产要素模型对农民工与城镇劳动力关系的研究

随着进城农民工数量的增加,农民工与城镇劳动力的关系研究显得十分必要。农民工与城镇劳动力各具不同的人力资源禀赋,属于异质生产要素。基于改进的异质生产要素模型,利用希克斯互补弹性公式计算,结果显示两者主要表现为互补性,因而农民工与城镇劳动力两者总体上是相容的。积极发展城镇化,鼓励农民工进城并实现身份的转变,统筹城乡劳动力市场管理,合理配置劳动力资源具有十分重要的意义。     

反学校文化与阶级再生产：“小子”与“子弟”之比较

作者通过对北京某打工子弟学校的田野调查后发现，在农民工“子弟”中间盛行着类似《学做工》中所描述的工人阶级“小子”的反学校文化。但是，由于制度安排与社会条件的差异，“子弟”与“小子”的反学校文化却是形似质异的。“子弟”的“反抗”更多是一种自我放弃的表达形式而非对支配秩序的洞察与抗争。文章进一步分析了“子弟”反学校文化的生产机制后指出，农民工劳动力再生产的低成本组织模式导致“子弟”高度边缘化的生存状态，这使得他们难以通过教育向上流动，从而以拒绝知识的形式放弃了学业，也因此完成了作为底层的社会再生产。     

Seasonal work and aboriginal employment in two rural areas of New South Wales, 1921–78

This paper has several areas of focus. It chronicles the history of Aboriginal employment in Australia in two contrasting areas; it identifies the characteristics of that employment and traces the nature of its change over time; it outlines the attitude of Aborigines towards their work, and the impact of that work on Aboriginal society; it also considers the attitudes of white Australians towards Aborigines and their employment. Finally, it draws some conclusions concerning the responses of the Aborigines to pressures put on them by the economy and society of the white man.

应对突发性灾难的农村社会保障制度研究

"非典"发生后,我国广大农村地区经历了严峻考验。虽然这一次疫情并未在农村地区广泛传播,但已经暴露出了农村在应对突发性灾难事件方面存在的严重问题。面对"非典"发生后的严峻挑战,我国农村社会保障制度需要进行根本性的改进革新,在发生突发性灾难的情况下首先需要考虑解决农民的人身救治问题,把农民的灾难救助纳入社会保障的轨道上,依法予以解决。结合国际社会灾难救助的一般规律,今后我国农村地区社会保障改革的主要趋向是:在国家和地方财政支持下改善农村医疗状况,加强农村医疗队伍建设;加强国家对农村养老事业的资金投入,并使之制度化、规范化;建立乡村突发性灾难的社会救助制度;加强立法,对乡村危机时刻的社会治安和秩序进行有效管治;建立基层社会组织物资储备系统以应对危难时刻的群众需要;广泛开展宣传教育工作,提高群众灾难自救能力。

整合财政支农资金加大农村基础设施投入力度

由于历史原因和体制惯性,“三农”投入,特别是财政支农资金的投入存在许多问题,多头管理、分散使用、效率低下的现象十分突出。继续加大对“三农”尤其是农村基础设施的投入力度,推进财政支农资金整合,提高财政支农的政策效应和制度效应,对发展现代农业,建设社会主义新农村意义重大。     

切实增强失地农民再就业培训的实效

目前,失地农民失业形势比较严峻,根本原因是其自身素质相对偏低,切实开展失地农民再就业培训势在必行。但由于制度规范缺乏、思想观念滞后、宣传工作较薄弱、培训针对性和实用性不强、管理机制不健全等因素制约,失地农民培训和再就业的效果仍不甚明显。因此,应尽快制定相关制度、加强宣传引导工作、实施有效的示范和激励、注重培训需求的表达和整合、建立健全管理机制等,以增强失地农民再就业培训实效。
