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...

  • How Are Distributions from a Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account Taxed For Federal Income Tax Purposes? Amounts distributed are generally excludable from gross income if they do not exceed the beneficiary’s “qualified higher education expenses” for the year or are rolled over to another Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account according to the requirements of Section (4). “Qualified higher education expenses” generally include the cost of tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment for enrollment at (i) accredited post-secondary educational institutions offering credit toward a bachelor’s degree, an associate’s degree, a graduate-level or professional degree or another recognized post-secondary credential and (ii) certain vocational schools. In addition, room and board may be covered if the beneficiary is at least a “half-time” student. This amount may be reduced or eliminated by certain scholarships, qualified state tuition programs, HOPE, Lifetime Learning tax credits, proceeds of certain savings bonds, and other amounts paid on the beneficiary’s behalf as well as by any other deductions or credits taken for the same expenses. The definition of “qualified education expenses” includes expenses more frequently and directly related to elementary and secondary school education, including the purchase of computer technology or equipment or Internet access and related services. To the extent payments during the year exceed such amounts, they are partially taxable and partially non-taxable similar to payments received from an annuity. Any taxable portion of a distribution is generally subject to a 10% penalty tax in addition to income tax unless the distribution is (i) due to the death or disability of the beneficiary, (ii) made on account of a scholarship received by the beneficiary, or (iii) is made in a year in which the beneficiary elects the HOPE or Lifetime Learning credit and waives the exclusion from income of the Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account distribution. You may be allowed to take both the HOPE or Lifetime Learning credits while simultaneously taking distributions from Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Accounts. However, you cannot claim a credit for the same educational expenses paid for through Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account distributions. To the extent a distribution is taxable, capital gains treatment does not apply to amounts distributed from the account. Similarly, the special five- and ten-year averaging rules for lump-sum distributions do not apply to distributions from a Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account. The taxable portion of any distribution is taxed as ordinary income. The IRS does not require withholding on distributions from Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Accounts.
