...1.Know the structure of education from early years to post compulsory education. 1a) Summarise entitlement and provision for early years. Early year’s education is for children aged 3-5 years of age. It is used in nurseries and reception classes. Children aged 3 and 4 in England get 15 hours a week free education that the government funds to local authorities to make sure every child receives this before reaching school age. Early years provision is supporting young children. Learning through play is the key element and is used more in early years than a formal education. This is because play shows to be more helpful in a child’s early development. 1b) Explain the characteristics of the different types of school in relation to educational stages and governance. There are 4 types of mainstream state school community, foundation and trust, voluntary and specialist. These 4 types follow the national curriculum. Other types include Independent/Free schools and academies; these don’t have to follow the curriculum and are governed in different ways. Community schools Run and owned by local authorities and not by their governing body. The local authority will usually determine the admissions policy and support the school in looking at ways to develop links within the local community. They also provide support services to the school. Some community schools, local groups use school facilities to hold classes of their own. Foundation and trust schools Foundation schools are run...

...The general welfare requirements in work settings that have a legal duty to comply with children’s health, safety and well-being which must be met by practitioners. It is important that practitioner gets a copy of the standards or welfare requirements that apply in the setting such as day care or pre-school. The welfare requirements are compulsory in settings as it’s important for practitioner’s to read them as their setting may have a legal duty to comply with them. The general welfare requirements: •Safeguarding and promoting children’s welfare •Suitable people •Organisation •Documentations •Suitable premises environments and equipment Safeguarding and promoting children’s welfare- The welfare requirements cover the day to day activities such as foods and drinks, behaviour management and medicines. Therefore the practitioner should spend some time going through the specific requirements and statutory guidance to ensure that their practice is complying. Suitable people – The suitability of people to work with children means the vetting processes as well as the suitable person may have to be trained and fit for work (nursery or school). It may also cover staff ratios as the manger must give the staff opportunities for training, additional support and team work which would help the practitioners to understand the children’s development plus improve their personal understanding.

John and Sanjay Srivastava University of California at Berkeley Running head: Big Five Trait Taxonomy Final draft: March 5, 1999 Author's Address: Oliver P. John Department of Psychology University of California, MC 1650 Berkeley, CA 94720-1650 W: (510) 642-2178; H: 540-7159; Fax: 643-9334 Email: ojohn@socrates.berkeley.edu; sanjays@socrates.berkeley.edu To appear in L. Pervin and O.P. John (Eds.), Handbook of personality: Theory and research (2nd ed.). New York: Guilford (in press). 2 Taxonomy is always a contentious issue because the world does not come to us in neat little packages (S. J. Gould, 1981, p. 158). Personality has been conceptualized from a variety of theoretical perspectives, and at various levels of abstraction or breadth (John, Hampson, & Goldberg, 1991; McAdams, 1995). Each of these levels has made unique contributions to our understanding of individual differences in behavior and experience. However, the number of personality traits, and scales designed to measure them, escalated without an end in sight (Goldberg, 1971). Researchers, as well as practitioners in the field of personality assessment, were faced with a bewildering array of personality scales from which to choose, with little guidance and no overall rationale at hand. What made matters worse was that scales with the same name often measure concepts that are not the same, and scales with different...

...TDA 2.1: Child and young person development. 1 1.1 0 – 3 Years Physical Development New born babies are very limited to the movement and have very little control over their bodies. They rely on movement through reflexes but as they begin to get older they begin to develop crawling, sitting, grabbing, pointing, running rolling, hopping and jumping. As children begin to reach 2years there movement should become more controlled as they hit the age of 3 children should be able to develop some motor skills that will include activities such as painting, colouring and drawings. They should be able to figure out they can hold things and do things on their own. Communication and intellectual development Babies will begin to hear different sounds, languages and phrases used around them, as time goes by children will begin to make sounds of their own and by 12months some children will begin to say words which may not be fully clear. By the ages of 1 and 2 children will begin to pick up on words as their vocabulary will expand their they will start and try to string sentences together, by the age of 3 children will be able to speak clearly but will need help with their speech when speaking as common mistakes will be noticed in most children. Social, emotional and behavioural development Children will begin to find out their identify and who they are, many children will become attached to their parents at this stage as they begin to do things independently children can...

...Capital Structure Decisions: Which Factors Are Reliably Important? Murray Z. Frank and Vidhan K. Goyal∗ This paper examines the relative importance of many factors in the capital structure decisions of publicly traded American firms from 1950 to 2003. The most reliable factors for explaining market leverage are: median industry leverage (+ effect on leverage), market-to-book assets ratio (−), tangibility (+), profits (−), log of assets (+), and expected inflation (+). In addition, we find that dividend-paying firms tend to have lower leverage. When considering book leverage, somewhat similar effects are found. However, for book leverage, the impact of firm size, the market-to-book ratio, and the effect of inflation are not reliable. The empirical evidence seems reasonably consistent with some versions of the trade-off theory of capital structure. When corporations decide on the use of debt finance, they are reallocating some expected future cash flows away from equity claimants in exchange for cash up front. The factors that drive this decision remain elusive despite a vast theoretical literature and decades of empirical tests. This stems in part from the fact that many of the empirical studies are aimed at providing support for a particular theory. The amount of evidence is large, and so it is often all too easy to provide some empirical support for almost any idea. This is fine for a given paper but more problematic for the overall development of our understanding of capital...

...1 POLICY REFORMS AND TRADE LIBERALIZATION IN BANGLADESH I. MAIN FEATURES OF BANGLADESH ECONOMY GDP and its composition. During the fiscal year 2002-2003, the GDP of Bangladesh stood at around $52 billion. The growth rate of GDP has picked up in recent years. Thus, during 1980-90, it grew annually at 3.7 per cent on average, barely above the population growth rate. On the other hand, it approached an average annual rate of 5 per cent during 1991-2002. The relative shares of consumption and savings in the GDP witnessed modest changes during this period. In 1991, consumption accounted for over 86 per cent of the GDP, while in 2002 it fell to nearly 82 per cent. Correspondingly, the shares of savings in GDP rose by a quarter over this period. During the same period, the investment/GDP ratio increased from 17 per cent to 23 per cent. Within this, the ration of public investment to GDP remained stagnant around 7 per cent, while that of private investment increased from 10 per cent to 17 per cent of GDP. Changing sectoral distribution. As indicated by changes in the sectoral distribution of the GDP, the economy of Bangladesh underwent important structural transformations over the last three decades. At independence in 1971, agriculture was the dominant sectors accounting for over 55 per cent of the total GDP. The industrial sector was small, contributing less than 10 per cent of the GDP. The services including transportation and power accounted for the rest of the GDP. The...

...Stock Price Sensitivity to Dividend Changes ∗ Cesare Fracassi Department of Finance - UCLA Anderson School of Management Email Address: cesare.fracassi.2009@anderson.ucla.edu First Draft April 4th , 2007 Current Draft: July 29, 2008 Abstract This paper examines the stock price sensitivity to dividend changes. The Dividend Signaling, the Free-Cash-Flow, the Maturity and the Catering Hypotheses all predict an average positive (negative) reaction to announcement of a dividend increase (decrease). However, these hypotheses have different cross-sectional predictions. This paper documents that the positive stock price response to dividend increases is due primarily to the signaling of higher future earnings, to the managers catering to the time-varying premium assigned by the market to dividend paying stocks, and partially to the reduction of agency problems. On the contrary, the negative price response to dividend decreases is mainly due to the transition from a mature life-cycle stage to a decline stage with higher systematic risk, as maintained by the Maturity Hypothesis. Keywords: Dividend; Signaling; Overinvestment; Life-Cycle. JEL Classification Numbers: G14, G35. ∗ I would like to thank Albert Sheen for his constant support and excellent insights.
