World Bank seeks role for 21st century

Article Abstract:

There is still controversy surrounding plans to undertake extensive reorganisation at the World Bank. These plans aim to ensure that the World Bank, the most significant development institution in the world, can operate effectively in the 21st century. The US, the most powerful shareholder, has serious reservations about the reorganisation plans, while the UK and France have yet to reach a firm decision. The bank has a very good record, but needs to reorganise in order to adjust to changing world conditions.

A piggy bank for knowledge

Article Abstract:

Many changes have been made to the UK's education and training system over the last decade, and the UK is now a world leader in new education technologies. However, there is still a need to adapt to the developing global market in education and skills, encouraging people to gain qualifications and to update them frequently. Student aspirations should be raised, and employers should expect more of their employees.

Do we need Bank Holidays?

Article Abstract:

It could be argued that bank holidays serve no useful purpose. People who have to work on those days, such as those in the emergency services, find themselves even busier than usual, while those who are not working often spend the time stuck in traffic jams. People now have a great deal of free time in any case, so bank holidays no longer seem special and they are not used to their best advantage.
