A reconstrução histórica da relação trabalho e educação na Escola Técnica Estadual Ferreira Viana de 1888 até 1933

Realizo uma investigação acerca da educação no contexto histórico das políticas públicas. Meu objeto de estudo é a relação entre trabalho e educação da Escola Técnica Estadual Ferreira Viana (ETEFV), uma instituição de ensino público da atual rede FAETEC. Tornam-se parte do problema desta pesquisa, as ideologias difundidas pela classe dominante para a produção e reprodução da estrutura social regida pelo modo de produção capitalista. São exemplos disto, o caráter moralizante do trabalho, que fundamenta a formação profissional, por meio de ação direta da administração pública em Decretos, leis, e outros mecanismos de legislação que se interpõem historicamente na relação entre trabalho e educação no período que compreende o desenvolvimento da pedagogia leiga no Brasil tendo como categorização as importantes concepções da filosofia da educação que orientaram as principais tendências pedagógicas desde a fundação da escola em 1888 até 1933. Empreendo assim, metodologicamente, uma pesquisa documental no Centro de Memórias da dita instituição, a fim de obter dados e trabalhar com fontes primárias na investigação. Este estudo é, também, de caráter teórico e tem, como suportes, tanto o trabalho crítico com fontes primárias, quanto à leitura de referencial teórico específico, coletado em fontes secundárias. O estudo tem trazido novas indagações, discussões e reflexões sobre a concepção dialética da educação e pode contribuir na construção de maiores conhecimentos acerca da concepção de trabalho e educação no Brasil

Synthesis of aquaculture policy and development approaches in Africa

The WorldFish Center was tasked to undertake a study to access, collate and develop background materials to produce an internationally linked and Africa-wide perspective on sectorally relevant policy issues. The specific objective of the study was to assess and define conditions and impact pathways, in Africa or elsewhere, where markets, policies, resources and technologies have combined to promote steady and sustainable growth of aquaculture, and where have been clear direct impacts on food supply, income, employment and consumption opportunities, as well as increase in supply that has led to stabilised prices. The study was also aimed at providing guidelines for scaling up the implementation of the synthesis study via Afri-FishNet (CAADP Fish Expert Pools) at the national and regional levels.

Institutional, policy and regulatory framework for sustainable development of the Egyptian aquaculture sector

This report presents the findings of a mission to critically review the institutional, policy and regulatory framework for sustainable development of the Egyptian aquaculture sector. The study was undertaken by an International Expert on Aquaculture Policy, and a National Expert on Institutions, on behalf of the Project “Improving Employment and Income through the Development of Egypt’s Aquaculture Sector“, implemented by WorldFish and CARE, and funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation(SDC). The objective of the mission was to assess the current status of the Egyptian aquaculture sector, in terms of the policy, legal and institutional environment, with a view to suggesting the major issues to be addressed within a future policy dialogue.

Sea level rise adaptation: emerging lessons for local policy development

Many coastal communities across the United States are beginning to plan for climate-related sea level rise. While impacts and solutions will vary with local conditions, jurisdictions which have begun this process seem to pass through three common stages when developing policy for local sea level rise adaptation: l) building awareness about local sea level rise threats, 2) undertaking analyses of local vulnerabilities, and 3) developing plans and policies to deal with these vulnerabilities. The purpose of this paper is to help advance community dialogue and further inform local decision-makers about key elements and steps for addressing climate-related sea level rise. It summarizes the results of a project the Marine Policy Institute (MPI) undertook during 2011-12 to review experiences from fourteen U.S. coastal jurisdictions representing a variety of city, county, and state efforts with sea level adaptation. There are many more initiatives underway than those reflected in this sample, but the “focus jurisdictions” were selected because of the extensive information publically available on their experiences and lessons being learned that could provide insights for coastal communities, especially in Southwest Florida.
