30 de ani de la căderea zidului Berlinului: două conferinţe ştiinţifice cu greutate la Iaşi
Va vorbi reputatul istoric şi politolog Anneli Ute Gabanyi (FOTO), alături de ambasadorul german în România.
Vineri, la ora 10, în Aula Magna „Mihai Eminescu“ a Universităţii „Al.I. Cuza“ vor avea loc două prelegeri inaugurale cu ocazia aniversării a 30 de ani de la căderea comunismului. Acestea vor fi susţinute de E.S. Cord Meier-Klodt, ambasadorul Germaniei în România, - „Noi suntem poporul! Ce Europă dorim astăzi pentru copiii noştri? 30 de ani de la căderea zidului Berlinului!“ -, şi Dr. Anneli Ute Gabanyi, reputat istoric şi politolog, care va vorbi despre „Revoluţia română în context geopolitic“.
Prelegerile vor avea loc în cadrul conferinţei internaţionale de ştiinţe politice „Dezvoltare Internaţională şi Democratizare“, ediţia a VII-a, care se desfăşoară la Iaşi, în data de 6 decembrie, proiect organizat de Departamentul de Cercetare & Departamentul de Ştiinţe Politice, Relaţii Internaţionale şi Studii Europene de la Facultatea de Filosofie şi Ştiinţe Social-Politice a UAIC.
„Toate marile universităţi din Europa Centrală şi de Est fac acest bilanţ prin evenimente prestigioase. Am ţinut ca tradiţionala noastră conferinţă internaţională de ştiinţe politice să se înscrie în acest trend, iar invitarea reprezentantului diplomatic cel mai înalt al Guvernului Federal al Germaniei în România, alături de un istoric de renume internaţional, aduc universitatea noastră în mijlocul acestei aniversări. Este şi un apel la memorie, mai ales că Iaşul a fost acum 30 de ani primul oraş şi centru universitar care a dat semnalul revoltei“, a declarat Alexandru Muraru, preşedintele Comitetului Ştiinţific şi coordonatorul de proiect al conferinţei.

Universities warned Cameron in 2011 that trainee cuts would cause nursing shortage
Ministers turned down pleas over many years and instead predicted over-supply of British nurses
Universities warned the government for years that they needed to train more nurses to avert a staffing crisis – but ministers repeatedly refused, saying nurses would end up unemployed, letters seen by the Guardian show.
Now there are 44,000 nursing vacancies in the NHS, and leaked government documents suggest this could reach 70,000 in five years. Universities say they have been unable to attract enough nursing trainees since the bursary for nursing degrees was abolished in 2017. The Conservatives’ manifesto proposals to attract 50,000 new nurses (although 19,000 of those are already working but at risk of leaving) will be unachievable, they say, without a more radical plan.
Prof David Green, vice-chancellor of Worcester University, a leading provider of nursing degrees, says the current staffing crisis was “entirely avoidable”.
“If we had recruited more nurses in 2015, as we were telling the government we needed to do, they would be fully trained and starting jobs on the wards now. Instead, hospital after hospital is struggling to maintain safe staffing, spending a fortune on agency staff and desperately recruiting from abroad.”
Green says the crisis began in 2011 when strategic health authorities slashed the number of nursing degree places they would fund. In the West Midlands there was a 17.5% cut, which meant 457 fewer nursing students. These cuts were maintained for six years, a reduction of nearly 2,750 places in the West Midlands alone.
Green wrote to David Cameron, then the prime minister, and the health secretary in 2011 on behalf of the universities in his region, citing extensive evidence that there would be more demand for nurses in the future, and that the cuts would cause a “major nursing shortage in a few years’ time”.
Anne Milton, then the health minister responsible for the NHS workforce, wrote back saying fewer nurse trainees were needed and that taking on any more would lead to unemployed nurses. She wrote: “A reduction in commissions is necessary to avoid a significant oversupply in the nursing workforce.”
Green says this was “palpable nonsense” and cuts were simply about saving money. He reflects that the student nurses lost in 2011 would now have been working in the NHS for five years. “It is precisely such experienced nurses who are the backbone of the system.”
In 2015 Green stood by the head of the university’s institute of health and society, Jan Quallington, after Health Education England, the government’s health training body, demanded she apologise for criticising training cuts. Quallington wrote in the Health Service Journal that the NHS faced a “ticking timebomb” unless more nurses were trained. HEE said training extra nurses would “not be good value for money for the taxpayer and risks unemployment for the individuals concerned”.
Green says Worcester has turned away many “terrific applicants”. “In 2015 we had 10 applicants per nursing place, and 37 per place for midwifery. We knew that at least four in 10 of the nursing applicants would have made excellent nurses. In midwifery, places were like gold dust.”

Universities say Tory plans to recruit 14,000 new nurses from undergraduate courses may also prove problematic. Until 2017 the government paid nursing students’ fees in England, and students received a means-tested maintenance grant. Since the funding was cut, the Royal College of Nursing says, there has been a 29% drop in the number of applications to study nursing in England. Universities say they are finding it especially hard to recruit mature learners – once a mainstay of nursing degrees and greatly valued by hospitals because of their life experience and loyalty.
Green says this was a “bad and mad policy” and bursaries should be reinstated immediately.
Unlike Labour and the Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives are not promising to ditch nurses’ £9,250-a-year tuition fees but have instead pledged an annual maintenance grant of between £5,000 and £8,000 (£416 to £666 a month). Prof Kevin Crimmons, head of adult nursing at Birmingham City University, says: “That’s a promising start, but you can’t actually live on that.”
Like many universities, Birmingham City will struggle to meet its recruitment targets for nursing degrees starting this January, because debt-averse mature learners are staying away.
Crimmons points out that trainee nurses aren’t typical students because they spend half of their course doing unpaid training in the NHS, working a 37-hour week, often with night shifts.
“They might be carrying out personal care and supporting patients, helping with medication, doing clinical observations. They are working hard and adding value and it would be entirely reasonable to expect the government to pay their tuition,” he says.
Crimmons’ students, many of whom have children, often have to do paid shifts as healthcare support workers on top of their course to make ends meet. As a result they sometimes turn up to lectures unprepared. “If you want a quality workforce you have to support people to have space to learn, and that costs,” he says.
Michael Carter, a 29-year-old nursing student at Southampton University, was one of the last cohort of students to get a bursary. Without it, he says, he wouldn’t have contemplated taking a “£30,000 gamble” and changing career from science to nursing.
“Even with a bursary it can be difficult,” he says. “I get £422 a month to live on and my wife is a PhD student, so it isn’t easy. A lot of my colleagues get less than that and they are doing a lot of extra bank shifts to earn enough to live. They are doing this while working full-time on placement, with uni assignments on top and are working themselves into the ground.”
Carter decided to change career after a spell of being ill in hospital, where he realised how much difference nurses made to patients. “Nurses aren’t only caring for your complex medical needs; they’re also the ones holding your hand when you’re scared,” he says.
Steve Tee, executive dean of the faculty of health and social sciences at Bournemouth University, says it is seeing far fewer mature applicants for nursing and finds it a challenge to meet recruitment targets.
“The removal of the bursary has made it more difficult to recruit into areas like mental health nursing, which have always tended to attract more mature students,” he says.
He adds that there are no quick fixes. “When the workforce supply tap is turned off it takes a long time to recover. Even if we suddenly had a mammoth recruitment next year it wouldn’t resolve the workforce problems for several years.”

US entrepreneur sets up Oxford scholarship for black UK students
Arlan Hamilton grant to cover costs for undergraduates from disadvantaged backgrounds
A Silicon Valley entrepreneur is to fund Oxford university’s first dedicated scholarship for disadvantaged black British students, the university has announced.
Arlan Hamilton, the founder of Backstage Capital, which specialises in supporting startups by overlooked groups, is to donate more than £200,000 to establish the fund and pay the tuition fees and living expenses for a three-year undergraduate degree.
The Oxford-Arlan Hamilton and Earline Butler Sims scholarship, named in part as a living tribute to Hamilton’s mother, will be open to UK undergraduates of black African and Caribbean heritage who come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
“I just really want someone who didn’t, or wouldn’t, have had the opportunity to go to this university, to do so. I want them to be truly nurtured and able to focus on themselves, instead of worrying about the things that, perhaps, I have had to worry about in the past – like how you are going to pay your rent,” Hamilton said after announcing the scholarship.
“I know it is going to be very competitive because there are so many wonderful, talented people in the UK. But I also know, the person who receives it will truly want and deserve it. I can’t wait to meet the first student who will be the beneficiary of the scholarship.”
Hamilton’s contribution follows that of the British musician Stormzy’s funding of two more scholarships for black British students to attend the University of Cambridge, suggesting elite universities are happy for private donors to provide targeted support for disadvantaged students rather than fund them from their own endowments.
The Oxford scholarship will include a grant of £3,000 to enable the student to take internships and enhance their employability, as well as the opportunity to work with the Oxford Foundry, the university’s student entrepreneurship centre.
Hamilton said she decided to fund the scholarship after being invited to speak at the Oxford Foundry earlier this year and taken on a tour of the university.
“I walked around, and I just saw this beautifully manicured campus, and so many college grounds. And I thought about the history, and how wonderful it must be to study here,” Hamilton said.
“I saw some black people – more than I was expecting, but not as many as I would have liked. I found out more about the thoughtful work that Oxford are doing to widen access for all students and boost inclusion, and by the end of that 45-minute tour I said out loud: ‘I want to start a scholarship for black students at Oxford.’”
Ana Bakshi, the director of the Oxford Foundry, said: “Diversity makes sense – social sense, economic sense and progressive sense.
“It is vital that students from diverse backgrounds are supported to achieve their higher education goals, and are given equal and unimpeded access to opportunities, networks and resources.”
Hamilton did not go to university but, after starting out as a music tour manager, moved to San Francisco to set up Backstage Capital, which is “dedicated to minimising funding disparities in tech by investing in high-potential founders who are people of colour, women, and/or LGBT”. Since 2015, Backstage has invested more than $7m (£5.3m) in 120 startups.
Hamilton said she would also fund similar scholarships at Dillard University, the historically black university in New Orleans attended by her mother.

University criticised for suggesting staff hide their sexuality when travelling to Dubai campus
Advice ‘highlights a disregard for LGBT+ workers’, union general secretary says
The University of Birmingham has come under fire for guidance on its website suggesting that staff should hide their sexuality when travelling to the institution’s campus in Dubai.
Academics, students and members of the LGBT+ community have condemned the safeguarding advice for university employees attending the Dubai branch as “appalling” and “shameful”.
The document, created by LGBT+ staff and PhD students at the university, suggests staff should not wear clothes or accessories advocating LGBT+ equality and they should not disclose their sexuality publicly on social media.
University employees should also change their next of kin if it is a same-sex partner and avoid taking e-readers with same-sex literature downloaded on them, the guidelines say.
Dr Amy Burge, an English literature lecturer at the University of Birmingham, told The Independent: “The guidance is counter to everything that the university stands for as an employer committed to equalities.”
The advice from Rainbow Network committee, which was shared on Twitter following the news that the university had begun the second phase of its Dubai campus, sparked outrage among staff and students.
Emily, a physics student at the university, tweeted: “Shocked and ashamed that you’re still openly promoting a campus that goes against all the ethics and values that you (obviously pretend) to promote at @unibirmingham – going as far as to publish behavioural guidelines for LGBT+ staff/ students.”
James Bradley, a scientist at Queen Mary University of London, said: “Shameful to open and promote a campus where you cannot support your LGBT+ staff.”
Lorna Campbell, who works at the University of Edinburgh, added that the guidelines were “utterly appalling”.
Dr Burge, an equalities officer at the local University and College Union (UCU) branch, added that members were worried that any further expansion of the campus in the United Arab Emirates – which opened in September last year – could result in staff “coming under more pressure” to work in Dubai.
Homosexual sex is illegal in the United Arab Emirates and same-sex marriages are not recognised. The UK Foreign Office advice says there have been some reports of individuals being punished for homosexual activity, particularly where there is any public element, or their behaviour has caused offence.
Jo Grady, general secretary of UCU, said: “Before entering into these kinds of partnerships, universities need to set out clearly how they will protect their staff and ensure all their campuses are safe for all staff and students. Not to clumsily ask staff to keep their head down and stay out of trouble.”
She added: “This advice highlights a disregard for LGBT+ staff and is a dereliction of the university’s duty to stand up for human rights and academic freedom.
“The advice looks like an afterthought from an institution concerned about chasing money with staff as shock absorbers.”
A spokesperson for the Rainbow Network, a group of LGBT+ staff and PhD students at the university, said: “The top priority of the Rainbow Network committee, and the reason for producing this list of top tips, is to support the safety and wellbeing of University of Birmingham staff and PhD students, and this is our goal in providing this advice.
“This does not compromise our overarching objective of creating a workplace where everybody is free to express their identity freely without fear of consequence.”
A University of Birmingham spokesperson said: “As the university increases its global activity and presence, the challenge remains how to translate our strongly-held commitment to equality and diversity in countries that have significant legal, social and cultural differences to the UK.
“Our approach has been to find common ground between our commitment and the equally important need to ensure, as far as is possible, the safety of our staff and students.
“Our focus remains on supporting their safety and wellbeing, wherever they work or study. We take extensive steps to avoid unintentionally outing LGBT+ employees and students, or their partners, when working globally, as is consistent with best practice and external advice.”
They added: “The top tips document has been produced by the Rainbow Network, following extensive discussion with members and the university, to provide helpful guidance, adding to the range of other advice provided by the university.”

Pour éviter des blocages, trois campus parisiens ferment jusqu’à vendredi
Alors que des assemblées générales étudiantes devaient s’y tenir, les campus de Tolbiac, Port-Royal et l’Institut de géographie seront fermés jusqu’à vendredi.
Le centre Pierre-Mendès-France de l’université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, plus connu sous le nom de Tolbiac, mais aussi celui de Port-Royal et l’Institut de géographie étaient fermés aujourd’hui et le resteront jusqu’au vendredi 6 décembre, selon un communiqué de l’université. Une assemblée générale d’étudiants manifestant contre la réforme des retraites était en effet prévue à Tolbiac dans la journée, et l’université a évoqué une «mesure de précaution et de sécurité» pour expliquer la fermeture des sites.
«Des assemblées générales étaient prévues, nous avons préféré fermer les portes de Tolbiac pour des raisons de sécurité», avait-on d’abord confirmé vers midi du côté de Paris 1. La présidence de l’université, qui s’est donné rendez-vous dans l’après-midi, a finalement décidé de fermer également les campus de Port-Royal et l’Institut de géographie.
«Il ne s’agit en aucun cas d’empêcher un mouvement de revendication sur lequel il appartient à chacun, en tant que citoyen, de se déterminer, a écrit Geroges Haddad, le président de Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, dans son communiqué. Mon objectif était en priorité d’assurer la sécurité des personnes et du bâtiment et d’éviter une occupation qui aurait pu dégrader à nouveau ce centre. Les évènements du printemps 2018 ont déjà beaucoup coûté à l’ensemble de la communauté de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne ainsi qu’au contribuable (plus de 2 millions d’euros). C’est avant tout le principe de précaution qui a gouverné cette décision prise en accord avec l’ensemble de l’équipe présidentielle.»
De leur côté, les étudiants manifestants avaient appelé sur Twitter à un rassemblement à 13 heures devant le centre Panthéon de l’université Paris 1, centre devant lequel ils étaient quelques dizaines rassemblées vers 15 heures. Ce centre n’a pas été fermé, et un cordon de sécurité protégeait son entrée.

Alice Guilhon (Skema): «Il n’existe aucune marque mondiale dans l’éducation»
Alice Guilhon, directrice de Skema BS, explique pourquoi son école a fait de l’international son cheval de bataille.
Depuis sa création en 2009, Skema BS a basé une grande partie de sa stratégie sur l’ouverture de campus internationaux. Alice Guilhon, sa directrice générale, nous explique pourquoi.
LE FIGARO- Après la Chine, les États-Unis et le Brésil, vous avez annoncé cette année l’ouverture d’un nouveau campus en Afrique du Sud. Quel est l’intérêt?
Alice GUILHON.- Il n’existe aucune marque mondiale dans l’éducation. Notre objectif est de devenir une école présente sur tous les continents afin de donner une réelle ouverture à nos étudiants pour qu’ils deviennent de vrais citoyens du monde prêts à l’emploi n’importe où. Nous choisissons des destinations que les étudiants ont envie de découvrir, où la vie académique est importante et où de nombreuses entreprises et start-up sont implantées. Nous n’allons pas en Chine pour former des Chinois ni en Afrique du Sud pour former des Sud-Africains: nous y allons pour former des étudiants du monde entier.
Mais pour l’instant, dans vos campus étrangers, la majorité de vos étudiants sont français…
De moins en moins. Il y a dix ans, nos détracteurs disaient que nous exportions des Français, ce qui n’était pas faux. Mais cela a énormément changé. Déjà, 43 % de nos étudiants sont étrangers. Sur notre campus de Suzhou en Chine, nous avons des étudiants de 74 nationalités différentes. À Raleigh, aux États-Unis, nous en avons plus de 50. Beaucoup d’étudiants étrangers qui viennent étudier à Skema partent directement sur un de nos campus étrangers.
Projetez-vous d’ouvrir d’autres campus à l’étranger?
Oui, nous allons nous installer en Inde, en Russie et en Australie. Nous commençons également à réfléchir pour ouvrir un autre campus en Europe, probablement en Italie.
« Lorsqu’ils reviennent, ils ne sont plus du tout les mêmes. Ils sont moins orgueilleux, plus humbles»Alice Guilhon
Vos étudiants français sont-ils encouragés à partir?
Ils sont obligés de partir un semestre, mais souvent ils partent même deux semestres, soit sur nos campus internationaux, soit en échange parmi l’un de nos 120 partenaires académiques. Certains peuvent avoir peur de partir, surtout lorsqu’ils sont jeunes. Mais nous sélectionnions nos étudiants sur le projet: s’ils ne veulent pas se projeter à l’international, ils ne rentrent pas à Skema. Nous voulons des élèves pour qui le monde entier est un terrain de jeu.
Qu’est-ce qu’une expatriation académique leur apporte?
La valeur ajoutée est colossale. Ils apprennent sur la vie locale, sur la manière de travailler dans d’autres pays. À l’étranger, ils sont confrontés à des réalités différentes. Ils peuvent comparer les cultures, les méthodes. Ce sont des jeunes qui viennent souvent de belles prépas et, là, ils arrivent dans un autre monde. Quand ils reviennent, ils ne sont plus du tout les mêmes. Ils sont moins orgueilleux, plus humbles, plus respectueux. Puis, lorsqu’ils ont fait plusieurs pays, avec des stages à l’étranger, la valeur ajoutée dans le CV est géniale.
N’est-il pas dommageable qu’une partie d’entre eux reste ensuite à l’étranger pour travailler?
Aujourd’hui, 20 à 25 % de nos diplômés français commencent leur carrière hors de France. S’ils fuyaient pour ne pas revenir, ce serait dangereux, mais la plupart du temps, ce n’est pas le cas car ils reviennent au bout de quatre cinq ans. Et c’est une chance incroyable car ces jeunes créent des ponts entre la France et les pays dans lesquels ils ont travaillé. Ils font de notre société une société ouverte sur le monde.

Pour retenir leurs étudiants, des villes moyennes déroulent le tapis rouge aux grandes écoles
Les élus de Saint-Nazaire, Châteauroux ou Cognac cherchent à faire installer des antennes de ces établissements sur leur territoire.
Ici les bateaux naissent – immenses, démesurés, parfois insubmersibles. A Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique), cela fait plus de cent cinquante ans que l’on produit des géants des mers, du premier transatlantique construit en France, en 1864, aux derniers palaces flottants. Des centaines de fleurons des océans, marchands ou militaires, qui ont tourné la poupe à la ville. Un exode voulu. Comme la plupart des villes moyennes, Saint-Nazaire, 70 000 habitants, constate un autre exode, subi celui-là, celui de sa jeunesse. En 2015, sur 1 570 néobacheliers, seulement 241 ont poursuivi leurs études sur le territoire nazairien. Pour garder une partie de ses enfants et en attirer d’autres, venus d’ailleurs, la ville va réaménager, en plein centre-ville, un paquebot de béton ou sera accueillie une école d’ingénieurs avec ses 500 étudiants.
« Depuis les années 2000, les dynamiques en place favorisent les regroupements et la concentration des établissements [d’enseignement supérieur] », pointe un rapport de l’association Villes de France publié en juillet 2019. Inverser cette tendance en attirant les grandes écoles dans le cœur de leur territoire, c’est la riposte des villes moyennes à la « métropolisation » de l’enseignement supérieur. « C’est déterminant, vital même », souligne David Samzun, maire socialiste de Saint-Nazaire. « Une ville ne demeure dynamique que lorsqu’elle a des jeunes », abonde Hervé Blanché, maire Les Républicains de Rochefort (Charente-Maritime). L’enjeu est d’ancrer les étudiants sur le territoire.

Basta un anno da precari per fare il concorso straordinario
Approvato alla Camera il Decreto scuola: prova nazionale per assumere 24 mila docenti, riaperta la graduatoria di Terza fascia, bando per gli insegnanti di religione. Il ministro Fioramonti: "Ottimista sulle risorse finali"
ROMA - Il Decreto scuola passa l'esame della Camera. Il suo profilo è quello conosciuto, ma prima l'intervento del Quirinale e poi il passaggio in Parlamento con una serie di emendamenti di maggioranza qualificanti hanno portato alcune novità.
La platea ampliata
Viene ampliata la platea di coloro che potrà partecipare al concorso straordinario per l'assunzione di 24.000 insegnanti: possono candidarsi, adesso, sia i docenti che abbiano maturato servizio nei percorsi di istruzione e formazione professionale (Iefp), sia coloro che abbiano effettuato una delle tre annualità richieste dall'Anno scolastico 2008-2009, sia, ancora, chi sta svolgendo nell'anno in corso la terza annualità di servizio. Inoltre, viene inserito il coding tra le metodologie didattiche da acquisire nell'ambito dei crediti formativi o durante il periodo di formazione e prova legato al concorso.
Sono riaperte le graduatorie di Terza fascia con proroga fino all'Anno scolastico 2022-2023 e viene autorizzato un nuovo concorso per insegnanti di religione cattolica, dopo 15 anni dall'ultimo. Verso questa scelta c'è stata opposizione degli stessi docenti, ma non della Conferenza episcopale italiana.
Per quanto riguarda, invece, i cosiddetti diplomati magistrali, si stabilisce la trasformazione del contratto di lavoro in contratto a tempo determinato in caso di sentenza sfavorevole, con l'obiettivo di garantire la continuità didattica. Arriva una risposta anche agli enti locali: le scuole paritarie avranno la possibilità di sostituire temporaneamente i docenti con personale educativo.
Le pulizie tornano interne
I servizi di pulizia e ausiliari nelle scuole di ogni ordine e grado tornano interni: se ne occuperanno undicimila collaboratori scolastici che per anni sono stati dipendenti di grandi cooperative: il risparmio messo a bilancio è di 144 milioni. Per i collaboratori ex lsu si stabilisce una proroga tecnica di due mesi per consentirne la stabilizzazione.
Per i dirigenti e tutto il personale scolastico viene confermata l'esclusione del rilievo biometrico delle presenze.
La durata dell'Abilitazione nazionale passa a 9 anni
Per quanto riguarda l'università, aumenta da 6 a 9 anni la durata dell'Abilitazione scientifica nazionale e, infine, sono esplicitati i requisiti per accedere alle procedure per la trasformazione dei contratti o degli assegni di ricerca in rapporti di lavoro a tempo indeterminato.
Il ministro dell'Istruzione Lorenzo Fioramonti: "Ogni giorno che passa sono più ottimista che si vada nella direzione giusta, vedremo alla fine quanto saremo davvero riusciti ad investire nell'istruzione".
