integrating nutrition into the Education Sector in low and middle income countries a framework for a win win collaboration
Maternal and Child Nutrition, 2021Co-Authors: Talata Sawadogolewis, Shannon King, Arlene Mitchell, Timothy RobertonAbstract:Malnutrition-both undernutrition and overnutrition-is a public health concern worldwide and particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Education Sector has high potential to improve immediate nutrition outcomes by providing food in schools and to have more long-term impact through Education. We developed a conceptual framework to show how the Education Sector can be leveraged for nutrition. We reviewed the literature to identify existing frameworks outlining how nutrition programs can be delivered by and through the Education Sector and used these to build a comprehensive framework. We first organized nutrition programs in the Education Sector into (1) school food, meals, and food environment; (2) nutrition and health Education; (3) physical activity and Education; (4) school health services; and (5) water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) Sector. We then discuss how each one can be successfully implemented. We found high potential in improving nutrition standards and quality of school foods, meals and food environment, especially through collaboration with the agriculture Sector. There is a need for well-integrated, culturally appropriate nutrition and health Education into the existing school curriculum. This must be supported by a skilled workforce-including nutrition and public health professionals and school staff. Parental and community engagement is cornerstone for program sustainability and success. Current monitoring and evaluation of nutrition programming in schools is weak, and effectiveness, including cost-effectiveness, of interventions is not yet adequately quantified. Finally, we note that opportunities for leveraging the Education Sector in the fight against rising overweight and obesity rates are under-researched and likely underutilized in LMICs.

Evaluation of Flexible Strategies to Manage the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Education Sector
Global Journal of Flexible Systems Management, 2021Co-Authors: Sayem Ahmed, Hasin Md. Muhtasim Taqi, Yeasir Iqbal Farabi, Mohiuddin Sarker, Syed Mithun Ali, Bathrinath SankaranarayananAbstract:COVID-19 has had a substantial impact on almost every field including the Education Sector. Due to the requirements for social distancing, the pandemic has provided an impetus for change in the Education Sector; technology-based sustainable Education platforms not experienced previously have become essential. This research aims to propose flexible strategies to mitigate challenges of COVID-19 pandemic in the Education Sector of an emerging economy: Bangladesh. A total of 16 challenges and 19 flexible strategies were identified based on stakeholders’ inputs and literature review. To evaluate the flexible strategies, a methodology based on Pareto analysis and a revised rough-decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (rough-DEMATEL) method is proposed. Findings reveal that in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, ‘Maintain social distancing and health protocol,’ ‘Enhance the communication and collaboration among students and teachers,’ ‘Financial incentives from government,’ ‘Utilize modern technologies for digitizing the entire Education system,’ and ‘Know how to engage students in an online environment’ are the vital strategies that must be implemented if Education continues through E-learning. Because the current pandemic situation is a new experience for many individuals around the world, this study helps to recognize the challenges and to propose effective strategies to solve these challenges so that Education does not become stagnant.

Bruised apples: violence against women in the Education Sector
Occupational and environmental medicine, 2018Co-Authors: Jennifer A. TaylorAbstract:Chen et al 1 illuminate the increasing risk of workplace violence to women in the Education Sector through analysis of lost time claims and emergency department visits in Ontario, Canada. The authors compare workplace violence lost-time injury workers’ compensation claims as reported to the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board from 2002 to 2015 across industries, specifically focusing on healthcare that traditionally has high rates and Education that has been understudied. Unlike Education, workplace violence in the healthcare Sector has received much attention. For example, in the USA, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health created resources for nurses,2 home health aides3 and workplace violence training and policy considerations.4 Chen et al 1 found that while the rate of violence to women in healthcare declined, the Education Sector unfortunately went in the opposite direction. This is a sounding of the alarm that another Sector of human service work—and one predominated by women—is experiencing risk. Perhaps the Education Sector can benefit from interventions similar to those healthcare. It is …

Social Dialogue in the Education Sector: An overview
2005Co-Authors: Anamaria VereAbstract:This working paper aims to provide an overview of the state of social dialogue in the primary and secondary Education Sector in different regions. It presents a regional summary of the climate for social dialogue, its application in the Education Sector in countries of each region, as well as a number of more in-depth country case studies to underscore important points on use of various forms of social dialogue to make decisions affecting the teaching profession. The climate for social dialogue is provided by examining the ratifications of specific ILO Conventions and the indicators of practical application of standards.
