In Britain, new schools need
better design for future generation
-says report
In Britain, a study report from the British Educational Suppliers
Association and the British Council for School Environments, reportedly
calls for better designs for new schools, because most current
school buildings pre-date the computer age and are obsolete as
learning environment.
Reportedly, the report said Gordon Brown's £45bn plan to build
England's schools would be a waste of cash unless classrooms are
made fit for lessons of the future, media reports said.
According to the study, reportedly the report said schools in
the future would need to have radically different designs and
it said pupils should be actively involved in the planning process.
This includes more spaces where children could learn through computer
technology and more social spaces in schools where pupils could
follow independent study in a less formal environment, and buildings
should also allow schools to uphold better environmental standards
and to cut emissions, media reports said.

UK to become a leader in international
education in globalised world
Report by Vallabh Kaviraj
A longstanding Indian journalist
in London
The United Kingdom is to become a leader in international education
in globalised world.
Prime Minister Tony Blair on Tuesday 18, April, has in London
unveiled two five-year initiatives to help secure the UK's position
as a leader in international education.
The second phase of the Prime Minister's Initiative for International
Education (PMI) aims to attract 100,000 overseas students to study
in the UK and encourage partnerships between universiries and
collages in the UK and overseas.
Also the UK-India Education Research Initiative (UKIERI) to improve
educational and research links between India and the UK.
Both programmes are backed up with over £27million in funding
over the next two years from the government, the British Council,the
education sector and businesses.
On Tuesday 18, April 2006, a reception was held in the morning
at 10 downing Street, and later in afternoon, the launch event
was held at the University of Greenwich where three selected international
students spoke about their experiences of studying in the UK,
and a range of representatives from educational sector and diplomats
including Indian High Commissioner His Excellency Kamlesh Sharma
and others were present, with speakers: Bill Rammelll Minister
of State for lifelong learning, furhter and higher education,
Tessa Blackstone, Vice Chancellor of the University of Greenwich
and Lord Neil Kinnock were present.
Baroness Blackstone who is a Vice-chair of the University of Greenwich,
said "there are over 3000 international students from more than
100 countries,studying in this university. Students' British qualifications
will serve them well in the global economy".
Lord Kinnock,chair of the British Council which is supporting
the programme, said "we very much welcome these initiatives which
will help the UK to build lasting relations of mutual benefit
with the people whose talents will shape our World in the 21st
century".
Speaking at the launch, Bill Rammell,Minister of State for lifelong
learning, further and higher education, praised Tessa Blackstone
for hosting the event, saying Tessa did a great deal to raise
the profile of British collages and universities internationally
when she was the minister.
After the event, a press conference was held in the university
hall where a number of questions were raised by journalists, concerning
the immigration and visa issues.
Answering a question in regard student visa, it was said that
bonafied students have no problem in gaining visa for their study
in the UK and they will be welcomed with great care, said Minister
Rammell.
During the launch, The AEN-The Asian Express Newspaper was invited
there to observe the event.

Asia's levels of skills and education become
far better than Europe's
-says report
In Asian countries, especially in India and China, levels of skills
and education are becoming far better than Europe's, news reported.
Reportedly China and India are starting to deliver high skills
at low costs and at an ever increasing pace.
Whereas Europe is reportedly falling behind in terms of education
and skills, according to a report by the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD), news reports said.

Health
In Britain,
Department of Health considering
plan aimed at long-term sufferers
In Britain, the Department of Health reportedly confirmed it was
considering the plan, aimed at long-term sufferers like multiple
scierosis and diabetes who could get control of their own NHS
budgets to buy treatment, news reports said.
Reportedly a DoH statement insisted patients would not be given
cash, that no money would leave the NHS under the scheme.
Health Secretary Alan Johnson reportedly said "We want choice
for everyone within a world-class NHS."
The government is already piloting schemes across the country
to allow elderly and disabled people to control the way.
The proposal to extend that into the realm of health is contained
in a report by Health Minister Lord Darzi, reportedly due to be
published in June.
The scheme - which would let people shop around for care and arrange
visits when they want - reportedly would be piloted before being
rolled out across England.
Under separate plans, from April, patients who need effective
hospital treatment will be able to choose from more than 350 hospitals
- both NHS and private across England, news reports said.
-The AENNS (30/03/08)
In Britain,
focusing GP care in new polyclinics
will harm patient choice, says expert
In Britain, according to news reports, government's drive to push
care out of hospitals and put into new polyclinics would harm
patient choice, reportedly said a professor of Manchester Univeristy.
Reportedly polyclinics are effectively super-surgeries, housing
GPs alongside other services such as hospital care, physiotherapists
and social services.
Primary care trusts have already been told to start setting up
polyclinics, but according to professor Martin Roland of Manchester
University, the government has to rethink its approach, news reports
said.
Last week, the British Medical Association reportedly said polyclinics
were being forced on to the NHS even there was no need for them.
But the government reportedly said polyclinics would not be forced
on authorities and minister envisage relatively minor hospital
treatment, such as dermatology will be increasingly done in these
centres.
The 150 health centres announced in the NHS Next Stage Review
Interim Report are additinal, new capacity, and not suggested
merging small practices, news reports said.

In Britain,
around 150,000 people have stroke every year
-say news reports
In Britain, according to news reports, around 150,000 people have
a stroke every year, and the risk of stroke was 2.6 times greater
for people who reported some dozing compared to those with no
dozing, and among those who reported significant dozing, the risk
was 4.5 times higher, news reports said.
News reports said previous research reportedly has shown that
people who suffer from sleep apnoea -short periods when breathing
stops during sleep - have an increase stroke risk.
It could be that daytime sleepiness is a sign of sleeping poorly
at night because of sleep apnoea, and unintentional daytime dozing
may be an early warning sign of stroke, news reports said.
Reportedly the issue was discussed at international stroke conference
recently held in New York, news reports said.

Elderly people are poorly treated by England's
health system
-say news reports
Elderly people are being neglected and poorly treated by England's
health system, news reports said.
The joint report by three public sector watchdogs reportedly said
the NHS and Care Services treated old people with a lack of dignity
and respect.
The Audit Commission, Healthcare Commission and Commission for
Social Care Inspection reportedly said it was being made worse
by a lack of consultation.
Reportedly campaigners said elderly people had become second-class
citizens.
The report did find that steps had been taken to address age discrimination
in public services, but observers said there was more work to
do to reverse the lack of respect shown to elderly, news reports
said.

In India,
healthcare sector making country more attractive,
creating ideal global destination for medical tourism
In India, the heaithcare sector reportedly has created attractive
and ideal destination for international healthcare tourism.
Reportedly the country has generated an estimated revenue of around
600 million dollars from international healthcare travellers including
non-resident Indians that visited the country in 2006, news reports
said.
The country has many advantages including cost effective healthcare
solutions, skilled healthcare professionals as well as warm weather
conditions, which has the potential to make the country attractive
and ideal destination for healthcare tourism internationally.
The total market for healthcare tourism is reportedly estimated
to be in the range of 150 billion dollars globally and India has
has less than one per cent share of it, news reports said.

In UK, Tories turn spotlight on NHS
in country
In the UK, on Sunday 18, March, reportedly the Coservative leader
David Cameron turns spotlight on National Health Service (NHS)
in the country, saying the NHS is the priority for the Conservatives
and will be improved for everyone.
Reportedly Mr. Cameron said government targets had turned the
NHS into a vast inhuman machine and that only the Tories could
restore staff morale and improve patients care.
The Tory leader Cameron also reportedly said Tony Blair's likely
successor -of being obsessed with spin.
Reportedly Labour called Mr. Camron's NHS claims absured and said
no one would believe them.
The Liberal Democrats reportedly said both parties of cynically
turning the NHS into a political football.
Reportedly the Conservative leader David Cameron used his closing
speech at his party's spring conference to project the Conservatives
as the party of public services, media reports said.
