...GKCA Update 1st to 31st Dec Starred Articles 01 UN recognizes Palestine as a non-member observer state Dec World > Palestine The United Nations General Assembly has finally voted in favour of recognizing Palestine as a non-member observer state. Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, had earlier stated this recognition as the last resort to maintain peace and harmony with Israel. This recognition means that, Palestine can now participate in UN debates, join the affiliated bodies and have a voice in world affairs. The votes were as follows: 138 nations voted in favour of Palestine while 9 voted against the country. 41 nations chose to abstain from the voting procedure. The Palestinian reaction to the UN decision was ecstatic and celebratory parades were seen on the streets of Ramallah in Israel. However, some countries are against the decision. Israel said that this decision by the UN will put the peace process between Israel and Palestine “backwards”. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his plans to expand settlement buildings in Palestinian territory despite the UN decision. The U.S. has said that the UN bid was "unfortunate". Opponents of the bid say a Palestinian state should emerge only out of bilateral negotiations. The countries of the world reacted majorly in support of Palestine. Countries like Britain, France, Spain, Sweden and Denmark made appeals to ambassadors in Israel to ask Prime Minister Netanyahu to reconsider his plan to erect close to 3...

The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the postgraduate education sector in the UK, bringing together published data and reports in a convenient format and highlighting areas that may be of interest to policymakers. It provides a continuation and extension of the Higher Education Policy Institute’s (HEPI) previous report on postgraduate education in the UK published in 2004.1 2. This report mostly looks at the sector from a UK-wide perspective, unless dealing specifically with regional differences. However, since the large majority of the students in higher education are registered in English universities, this only gives us a clear picture of what is happening in England and does not necessarily reflect the situation in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, or indeed any one of the nine English regions. The reader should bear in mind that many of the discussions focus mainly on...
