Recommendations for a Large-Scale Upper Secondary Alternative Education Program Sample Clauses

Recommendations for a Large-Scale Upper Secondary Alternative Education Program. We now have a fairly detailed understanding of the context for alternative secondary education in Honduras. Section II of this study presented a synthesized account of the larger context of secondary education in Honduras, including the current reform agenda and Education for All (EFA) and Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) goals. The second section presented findings from our national survey of an alternative program target population and focus groups with in-school and out-of-school youth. That section found that there is a huge demand for an accessible alternative for upper secondary education and detailed the specific needs, obstacles, and interests of different groups of youth who would benefit from such a program. The third section, then, described and evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of the alternative secondary education programs that currently exist in Honduras. This final analytic section of our study will bring the previous three sections together, presenting a series of recommendations for characteristics of a promising large-scale alternative upper secondary program. Rather than design a new program or programs, however, it is likely to be more politically appropriate and fiscally sound to scale-up and adapt one or more of Honduras’ existing programs. Our methodology, therefore, was to lay out our recommendations based on our findings from sections II, III, and IV in a matrix and then compare them to the characteristics of the existing programs. Using a point system we were able to identify which of the existing programs are most suited to our recommended criteria for the current demands and obstacles for an alternative upper secondary program. We identified SAT and EDUCATODOS as the best-suited programs. Using our same recommended criteria we then propose adaptations to these two programs to better suit the needs we have identified, and analyze the start-up and recurrent per student costs of adapting and scaling up these programs. Our recommendations are organized into the same six areas: policies, finance, structure and organization, curriculum, instruction, and efficiency. Table 28 through Table 33 display our recommendations and the allocation of points for each of the existing programs. Before turning to specific recommendations regarding characteristics of a future program, however, our research brought to light a few general recommendations for alternative secondary education in Honduras. First, alternative secondary education progr...

  • Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where Xxxx has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Xxxx. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for Xxxx (e.g. hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Xxxx, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. Xxxx will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.
