[MLE] FW: [se-ed] FOR INFO: Educaton Community Update 2

Dear MLE interest group,

In the past I have forwarded things from the below mentioned Solution Exchange discussion portal. But since then many more people joined the MLE interest list. Hence I forward an update again.

The website says : "Solution Exchange is a UN initiative for development practitioners in India. For more information, please visit www.solutionexchange-un.net.in". Even though the focus is much wider then MLE and think you would enjoy following the discussions. In fact several of you are already participating in the discussions!

Dear Interest group,

An other conference of interest.

[MLE]"What's Wrong With Our Teaching?"

Dear MLE Interest Group,

India Today had recently some interesting topics on education in India. In October there was a rather critical report on SSA. Last week they had an item on education in the metros. Even though it does not touch on language I think many of you would be interested in the report on which this article was based.  You can download it from http://www.indiatodaygroup.com/itoday/20061127/
