It is States and communities, as well as public and private organizations of all kinds, that establish schools and colleges, develop curricula, and determine requirements for enrollment and graduation. The structure of education finance in America reflects this predominant State and local role. Of an estimated $1.15 trillion being spent nationwide on education at all levels for school year 2011-2012, a substantial majority will come from State, local, and private sources. This is especially true at the elementary and secondary level, where about 87.7 percent of the funds will come from non-Federal sources. That means the Federal contribution to elementary and secondary education is about 10.8 percent, which includes funds not only from the Department of Education (ED) but also from other Federal agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services' Head Start program and the Department of Agriculture's School Lunch program. Although ED's share of total education funding in the U.S. is relatively small, ED works hard to get a big bang for its taxpayer-provided bucks by targeting its funds where they can do the most good. This targeting reflects the historical development of the Federal role in education as a kind of "emergency response system, " a means of filling gaps in State and local support for education when critical national needs arise. The original Department of Education was created in 1867 to collect information on schools and teaching that would help the States establish effective school systems. While the agency's name and location within the Executive Branch have changed over the past 130 years, this early emphasis on getting information on what works in education to teachers and education policymakers continues down to the present day. The passage of the Second Morrill Act in 1890 gave the then-named Office of Education responsibility for administering support for the original system of land-grant colleges and universities. Vocational education became the next major area of Federal aid to schools, with the 1917 Smith-Hughes Act and the 1946 George-Barden Act focusing on agricultural, industrial, and home economics training for high school students. World War II led to a significant expansion of Federal support for education. The Lanham Act in 1941 and the Impact Aid laws of 1950 eased the burden on communities affected by the presence of military and other Federal installations by making payments to school districts. And in 1944, the "GI Bill" authorized postsecondary education assistance that would ultimately send nearly 8 million World War II veterans to college.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Secondary Education]]></category> <link>http://fundacjaliternet.org/SecondaryEducation/secondary-level-education-in-us</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fundacjaliternet.org/SecondaryEducation/secondary-level-education-in-us</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Oct 2023 06:26:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Universities in Warsaw, Poland</title> <description>Why UW?

The Retirement Advisor does not monitor your retirement assets or personal circumstances. The advice may vary over time and with each use. There may be other investments not considered by the Retirement Advisor that have characteristics similar or superior to those being analyzed. The tool’s advice is based on statistical projections of the likelihood that you will achieve your retirement goals. The projections rely on financial and economic assumptions of historical rates of return of various asset classes that may not reoccur in the future, volatility measure and other facts, as well as information you have provided. IMPORTANT: The purpose of Retirement Advisor is to show how the performance of the underlying investment accounts could affect the participant's policy cash value and the resulting retirement income. Projections and other information generated through the Retirement Advisor regarding the likelihood of various Investment outcomes are hypothetical, do not reflect actual investment results and are not a guarantee of future results. The projections are dependent in part on subjective assumptions, including the rate of inflation and the rate of return for different asset classes. These rates are difficult to accurately predict. Changes to the law, financial markets or your personal circumstances can cause substantial deviation from the estimates.

Children then complete grade levels one to 12 before attending college or university. There are two types of kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) schools in the United States: public and private. Laws regarding ages for compulsory education vary by state. These laws apply to both public and private K-12 schools. For a better understanding of these requirements please visit our Kindergarten to Grade 12 Schools page and talk to school officials in the state in which you plan to live. Public K-12 Schools For a maximum period of 12 months – This time limit includes all public schools the student attends. You cannot spend a year at one public high school and then transfer to another. Must pay the full, unsubsidized per capita cost of attending the school district. Payment of this fee must occur before the child applies for an F-1 visa. You must be able to present proof of this payment is at the visa interview and at the port of entry when you apply for admission into the United States. If you have questions, contact the school’s designated school official (DSO). An F-1 student may not attend a public school for kindergarten through grade eight because those schools cannot be SEVP-certified. A minor F-2 or M-2 dependent of an F-1 or M-1 student may attend public school at the appropriate grade level without any additional permission or documentation from SEVP. For a minor F-2 or M-2 dependent to transfer from a public school to a private school, the F-1 or M-1 student and/or F-2 spouse, if applicable, should talk to the school’s DSO. Private K-12 Schools Tuition (not – as with public schools – local, state and federal tax revenue) funds private schools. International students may apply for F-1 status to attend a private, SEVP-certified school for grades K-12. Unlike public schools, regulations place no limit on the length of time an F-1 student may attend a private, SEVP-certified school. After Grade 12 An F-1 high school student who would like to continue studying in the United States after graduation may apply to an SEVP-certified college or university. For more information about transferring, please visit our Instructions for a Transferring F-1 student page.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[High School]]></category> <link>http://fundacjaliternet.org/HighSchool/us-high-school-grades</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fundacjaliternet.org/HighSchool/us-high-school-grades</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 29 Jul 2023 06:17:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>United States of America Education</title> <description>Located in 170 countries, EducationUSA centers help millions of students find accurate, comprehensive, and current information about how to apply to accredited U.S. colleges and universities.

Recently visited and it was sad to see that it has been neglected. Please tell me why?? Childhood memories - For most of my childhood, Crane Creek was a destination greatly anticipated. Several times a year, our dad would take us to swim, to walk the beach and trails, or just to take in the sights. From the observatory to the museum, from the beach to the trails, many happy memories were made here. We passed the tradition on to our sons when they were smaller, and now as adults they continue to enjoy all that Crane Creek has to offer. Thanks for the memories! Nice Lake - Not too many people around; surprising for being so close to Columbus.Loved the outdoor movie and sassafras - we spent over a week in one of your 2 bedroom cabins we thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace, the closed in porch and all the other amenities. we had fresh made sassafras tea and watched the outdoor movies. It was just a time we will always remember. Family Memories ! - Our family has been going to Harrison Lake for over thirty eight years. We have taught our kids to how ride there bikes, and many camping skills. As they are now grown Adults they are making there own family memories at Harrison Lake I rate this campground as one of best to make family memories! HAPPY CAMPING information - I used to go as a child would love to take my family do they still do the whispering Christmas if so what times and what days. Do they still do the meetings with Santa and what days and times is that. Thank you in advance for the info. Great Park! - One of my favorite Ohio parks! You can find lots of additional information on the web site.Family Reunion - Thank you for mowing for our croquet game, having the electric running in the shelter, with no problems, and cleaning the portable pot! We will back next year and maybe more. Sincerely, The Quisenberry Family. dappointed - MY NIECE CALLED TO MAKE A RESERVATION FOR OCT.1O&11. SHE WAS TOLD THE SITES SHE WANTED WERE TAKEN 200 202 204. SO WE GOT IN OUR CAR AND DROVE UP THERE TO PICK SOME OTHER SITES OUT. WE GET THERE AND ARE TOLD THOSE SITES ARE NOT TAKEN. SO WE DONT PICK ANOTHER SITES. WE COME HOME BECAUSE WE CANT BOOK AT THE CAMPGROUND ITSELF. WE CALL AND ARE TOLD THOSE SITES HAVE ALREADY BEEN BOOKED. BIG WASTE OF TIME AND GAS MONEY.THEY DONT HAVE THEIR ACT TOGETHER AT ALL.Boat Docks - Alum creek boat docks are in the worst shape I have seen them in years. Now instead of fixing them they are going to restick the length of the boats on the docks to 24ft from now on instead of fixing them. They just spent who knows how much money on the parking lot that is still not finished. It was suppose to be done by July 4th but that has been here and gone and the parking lot is still not finished. The boat docks make money every year for the state and they still refuse to do anything about them at all. Just goes to show how the state can waist money and not care at all.2014 Beach Fest - I participated in the Beach Fest this year and had a wonderful time! It was a perfect day for the festivities. The only thing I would change is the addition of more food vendors. The lines were extremely long to acquire food/drink - my wait was over an hour! Everything else about the festival was perfect in every way.CAMPING SITE 26- TURTLE HAVEN - Went camping last weekend at site 26 which in on the lake it was the most beautiful site- with the perfect lake view, we got up in the morning and sat by the lake and watched all the turtles, there isnt much fishing there but catch a couple turtles. The site is very large, it was a quiet camping area. Shower houses were very clean and hot water.. was impressed with everything. One thing that was disappointing went to rent canoes and they only had 2 for the whole camping area, so they were all rented out -first come first serve, didnt like that part and kids were bummed.Fun time worth the money to have the lakeview.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Colleges And Universities]]></category> <link>http://fundacjaliternet.org/CollegesAndUniversities/wwwstate-of-ohios</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fundacjaliternet.org/CollegesAndUniversities/wwwstate-of-ohios</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 30 Apr 2023 06:14:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>US Diploma</title> <description>Questions on this topic are divided into the following categories: In addition to the Q&amp;As listed below, please see the following resources for guidance related to High School Diploma: Recognized Equivalent of a High School ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/fake_diplomas_and_counterfeit_college_transcripts.png" alt="We can emboss and replica any" align="left" /><p>Questions on this topic are divided into the following categories: In addition to the Q&As listed below, please see the following resources for guidance related to High School Diploma: Recognized Equivalent of a High School Diploma (RED) RED-Q1. The regulations at 34 CFR 600.2 include the definition of a “recognized equivalent of a high school diploma.” One of those equivalents is “an academic transcript of a student who has successfully completed at least a two-year program that is acceptable for full credit toward a bachelor’s degree.” Does this mean that any coursework that is at least two years or more is an acceptable equivalent of a high school diploma? RED-A1. No. To be a “recognized equivalent of a high school diploma, ” the two years of coursework must be acceptable for full credit toward a bachelor’s degree. The following are considered the equivalent of completing a "two-year program, " regardless of the time it takes a student to complete the coursework (e.g., on an accelerated schedule): Successful completion of an associate’s degree program; Successful completion of at least 60 semester or trimester credit hours or 72 quarter credit hours that does not result in the awarding of an associate’s degree, but that is acceptable for full credit toward a bachelor’s degree at any institution; or Enrollment in a bachelor’s degree program where at least 60 semester or trimester credit hours or 72 quarter credit hours have been successfully completed, including credit hours transferred into the bachelor’s degree program. [Guidance issued 1/24/2014; revised 7/7/2015 ] RED-Q2. How can an institution verify whether an online GED program is valid? RED-A2. The regulatory provision that allows a GED certificate to be considered the “equivalent of a high school diploma” requires obtaining the certificate. The requirement is not satisfied by completing a “GED program.” For Title IV purposes, there is no concept of a valid GED program, online or not. The student must take and pass the GED test in person at a designated GED Testing Center. Once the student has completed all sections of the GED test and passed by satisfactorily meeting minimum scores, the State will issue a certificate of high school equivalency. The student may also be issued an official GED transcript by the test publisher or the jurisdiction where the test was taken which will provide the test scores for each academic content area of the GED test. Institutions often use the GED transcript to make academic placement determinations. The GED transcript meets the definition of a recognized equivalent of a high school diploma if, in addition to the content scores, the official GED transcript indicates that the student passed the GED test. [Guidance issued 1/24/2014] RED-Q3. Please advise if a certificate of high school completion is sufficient for a student to be eligible for Title IV funding. RED-A3. No. Generally a certificate of high school completion (as opposed to a high school diploma) is issued to students who have completed high school coursework, but who have not met all the academic high school graduation requirements, including passing any required examinations. We rely on a State's determination as to what constitutes a high school diploma including whether a certificate of high school completion is equivalent to a high school diploma in that State. Therefore, institutions should check with the State in which the certificate of high school completion was awarded to see if that State considers the certificate of high school completion to be a high school diploma or its equivalent. [Guidance issued 1/24/2014] Checking the Validity of a High School Diploma (CVD) CVD-Q1. Do high schools have to be accredited for their graduates to be eligible for Title IV aid? CVD-A1. For Title IV student aid purposes, there is no requirement that a high school be accredited. In determining whether a student’s high school diploma is valid, the Federal Student Aid Handbook suggests that institutions check with the appropriate state agency in the State in which the high school is located to determine if a diploma issued from that school is recognized by that State as a high school diploma. [Guidance issued 1/24/2014] CVD-Q2. How can an institution determine whether a student’s high school diploma is valid for purposes of establishing Title IV eligibility? CVD-A2. Final regulations published on October 29, 2010, require postsecondary institutions to develop and apply procedures to evaluate the validity of a student’s high school diploma if the institution or the Department has reason to believe that the diploma is not valid or was not obtained from an entity that provides secondary school education (34 CFR §668.16(p)). Because we rely on a State's determination as to what constitutes a high school diploma in that State, we encourage institutions to check with the relevant department or agency in the State in which the high school is located to determine if a diploma from the high school (which does not have to be accredited) is recognized by that State (see Volume 1 of the Federal Student Aid Handbook). Another resource within the State that an institution may want to consult with is the State attorney General’s office. For example, one State attorney General’s office has taken enforcement actions against entities that issue diplomas or other certificates of completion of secondary education without providing a legitimate secondary school education. Another publication that may be helpful to institutions is the “State Regulation of Private and Home Schools” which provides a brief description for each state’s legal requirements that apply to K–12 private schools in the United States.

For the 2017-2018 selection process, applicants may not choose the two universities in Northern Ireland: Queen's University, Belfast and the University of Ulster. When assigning Mitchell Scholars to programs in Ireland, we will draw from only the programs identified in the applications at the schools listed. Once your application is submitted, you may not add a program to your list, and you may not change the prioritized order in which programs are listed. Please do your research in advance to make sure you are satisified with your program choices and have thought carefully about the order in which those preferences are listed in your application. The following is provided to give students a general idea about the universities and the fields of study Mitchell Scholars may pursue. Applicants are responsible for obtaining additional information about the institutions and programs of interest to them by contacting those institutions directly. Prior to applying, prospective applicants should confirm that their plan of study is feasible, and that they have the undergraduate pre-requisites for the programs proposed in the application. EDUCATION IN IRELAND is a searchable database of programs available to international students. It is a tremendous resource and can aid in your research regarding program and university selection. In addition, each of the Irish and Northern Irish universities has a webpage listing the available one-year post-graduate programs at their schools. The Education System in Ireland Ireland has a long and reputable tradition in education, dating back to the middle ages when it held the position of one of the principal education providers to the western world. Today education is held in very high regard in Ireland and this is reflected in the priority given to it by successive Governments and by the fact that it has one of the highest participation rates in the world. In addition, parents take a keen interest in educational standards and considerable attention is paid to educational issues in the national media, thereby strengthening Ireland's reputation for providing a very high quality system of education. Overall responsibility for education in Ireland lies with the Minister for Education and Science who is a member of the Irish Government and responsible to the National Parliament. While the Irish education system is provided by a combination of State and private institutions it is substantially State-funded and State-regulated. Primary and secondary education is largely free to Irish students and third level education is heavily subsidized. The Academic Year The university academic year runs from September to June, typically divided into three terms. In recent years, however, some institutions have introduced a two-semester system. Accommodations Mitchell Scholars will be provided with living accommodation (meals are not included). Accommodations at the universities vary but, in general, accommodation will be in a shared apartment in a dedicated, on-campus development, or in an individual room in a Hall of Residence.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Education System Poland]]></category> <link>http://fundacjaliternet.org/EducationSystemPoland/higher-learning-institutions</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://fundacjaliternet.org/EducationSystemPoland/higher-learning-institutions</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Jan 2023 06:04:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> </channel></rss>If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
