Educational Problems

Suppliers of chemicals must also be properly trained so they do not inadvertently or willingly engage in illegal and/or inappropriate commerce of POPs, and so too must the operators of processes that may produce POPs unintentionally. This must include offering alternatives to prevent generation of POPs. 

The lack of awareness and information may even extend to governmental personnel, who are then in no position to enforce legislation. For example, customs officials are often untrained in the issues surrounding POPs and do not effectively enforce legislation, exacerbating the legal problems discussed above. 

Experience and studies suggest that the problem of POPs is one that must be tackled jointly between developed and developing nations. It is not enough to ban their manufacture and use because their persistence means they continue to be found in the environment for years. Bans must be accompanied by educational programmes and real alternatives, otherwise poor inhabitants of developing countries will simply seek out the cheapest options available to them, which quite often are the banned POPs. Such alternatives might have to come via aid from developed countries. 

This chapter has shown that in developing countries there is a paucity of data on quantities of POPs used, potential sources and environmental concentrations. This information is critical in order to develop plans to eliminate POPs in developing countries. The lack of data is due to lack of resources, personnel and facilities to carry out the necessary smdies. What is needed is joint action whereby developed countries aid developing ones in establishing a cadre of trained professionals and suitable facilities to both conduct monitoring and to implement disposal plans. The international community needs to respond in a coherent and cost-effective fashion with measures acceptable from a public health and socioeconomic perspective. The available data indicates that POPs are indeed present in the environment and humans in developing countries and are likely to have an adverse impact on the environment and public health.

If teaching and learning about the submicro is complex, then that about the symbolic is even more so. In Chapter 4, Taber unpicks in detail the ranges of symbolisms used in chemistry the spread of types invoked, those used to represent chemical entities and those used to represent reactions between them. In each case, he analyses the educational problems that they present. He concludes with some broad precepts about how symbolic representations might best be presented in chemical education. 

Antonio Domenech-Carb6 (Valencia, 1953) holds a PhD in Chemistry (University of Valencia, 1989) and is currently a Professor in the Department of Analytical Chemistry of the University of Valencia (Spain). His research is focused on supramolecular electrochemistry, electrochemistry of porous nanostmctured materials, and electroanalytical methods applied to the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage, as well as educational problems in science teaching. He has published more than 150 articles in scientific journals and monographs. He was a recipient of the Demetrio Ribes award (Valencian Regional Government) in 2006. 

In the next mayoral election, residents of Noxville should vote for Joanne Burgess, a former teacher and principal, instead of Lijuan Jackson, a member of the Noxville city council, because the current members of the city council are not improving our education system. In fact, for the past four years, test scores have dropped significantly, violence in schools has increased 25%, and more children than ever before are being held back. If we elect Joanne Burgess as our next mayor, the education problems in Noxville will certainly be solved. 

This supposition is founded on the idea that a current member of the city council is not a good candidate only because the current town council hasn t improved education. The assumption that a teacher/principal is suited to being mayor based solely on her expertise in the area of education presents too many problems. There is much more to being mayor of a city than improving the education system—being mayor is a political, not educational, office— besides, Burgess s expertise alone will not help her solve the education problems of Noxville. 

Therefore, the argument s reasoning is loosely connected, founded on assumptions and unqualified premises. Alone, the evidence provided to support the position is not even tentatively related to the author s main argument That an expert in education will solve Noxville s education problems and that the city council s record alone reflects Jackson s neglect of the education system. 

Over 98% of water sources on earth are undrinkable due to salt content. Only a fraction of the good-quality water is actually used due to the naturally uneven distribution of the water. The problem of water shortage is not only a problem of proper techniques it is also a social and educational problem depending in many cases on national and international efforts as well as on technical solutions. We need better techniques to provide good-quality water at a low cost, and we must educate people to make better usage of this cheap, yet very costly, resource.

James Wei I think it s a research problem first, before it becomes an educational problem. 

Advancement and growth depend upon the discovery and development of the resources of nature, and the investigation and interpretation of the laws of nature, he told the crowd of parents, professors, and students. In the course of progress social relations are strained, and industrial, political and educational problems arise. The country is crying for a solution of all these difficulties, and is hopefully looking to the educated man for it. This, then, is the way we can repay OAC—by service. . . service to our fellow men. ... 

The education problem in India is vast and complicated. In 1977 there were 625 million people in India, with an annual increase of 12-13 mil-lion/yr. The age distribution is heavily skewed toward the lower ages which constitute about 42% of the population (II). Those of college age represent about 17% or 106 million persons. There are 118 universities with a total enrollment of about 3.2 million (R2). There are 32 chemical engineering departments with an annual capacity of 1400 students (in contrast to 8 departments with a 200-student capacity in 1948). Thus, only about 7000 students are chemical engineers—a very small fraction of the students in the colleges and universities.

What are the reasons for this Two main aspects can be identified. First of all, there is an educational problem. Technicians in the laboratory often lack experience and expertise, and moreover time and money for training are unavailable. On the other hand, shift of good staff now occurs very quickly without time to transfer the know-how. The second aspect is precolumn errors (e.g.. sample introduction and sample preparation). and both parts of the total analytical procedure are interrelated. Future developments in...

The sample was thus a very homogeneous one, made up of children attending primary school, having no educational problems, and living in the vicinity of Brussels. The homogeneity is further evidenced by the socioeconomic status data this factor was assessed using an occupational prestige scale and showed our sample to be in the middle and upper classes.
