Teacher Performance and Sensitivity to the Market Place

 In recent times, issues about education in colleges and high school have attracted much debate in education policy agenda with regard to the market place (Mills, 2010). This has followed the realization by various national governments, particularly the United States that the States have been insufficiently preparing students and vulnerable/marginalized ones are bearing the greatest brunt. The preparations  to choose a college discipline in this century are in progress.

Butler (2007) notes that the concerns of long-term socioeconomic as well as political implications that such portend have driven the debates in regard to teachers’ performance. He associates these to technology to becoming a crucial part in education in the American schools. Thus performance improvement focusing on some schools lacking the capacity to exploit or have is a major issue. This is more ingrained in the aims for the citizens to  maximize personal accomplishment, that is to say governments are now more focused in development of educational trainers who are more focused on promoting ‘‘socially cohesive democratic communities’’ that respond to the local and globally defined economic demands (Baker, 2000).

Moreover, governmental schooling reforms are today largely geared towards gratifying the needs of the universal marketplace (Mills, 2010). Regardless of these noble aims and assertions including opportunity to share technology, the challenge is the proposed methods  applied are either not well-construed or half-baked when it comes to practical implementation on measuring teacher’s effectiveness (Butler, 2007).

 Sunderman (2010) notes that the act ( reauthorized Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)   Had  the view to critically accessing high school crisis so systems and structures are  effective  to enable students graduating from high schools, adequately ready to take on professional disciplines in colleges. Broadly, therefore, a number of federal policies that  play an important role to make sure policies are congruent with the changes and ‘‘common standards initiative’ to take the leading roles and facilitation of partnership with other players in the education sector. This promotes teacher effectiveness (Gay et al, 2000).

Al-shaabab impact in Kenya

Al-shaabab is an Islāmic militant organization based in southern Somalia, excluding the capital Mogadishu. It has waged an insurgency against Somalia’s Transitional government and its Ethiopian supporters since 2006. When it began its insurgency in the late 2006, it used classic guerrilla tactics, suicide bombing, shooting and targeted assassinations to oppose the Somali government and what it perceived as its allies, from aid groups to the Ethiopian military to African union peace keepers.

The al-shaabab decision started by kidnapping aid workers in Daadab, tourist in Lamu and killed British publisher David Tebutt in Kismayu. This has really shaken the tourism economy sector in Kenya and thus Kenya had to pursue the al-shaaba for the sake of protecting its economy.

The al-shaabab has led to the closure of some business and the investors have shy away because of the decrease in the state of security, this would have an indirect effect towards the economy of the country thus affecting the common citizens.

Al-shaabab has also led to the closure of big hotels and loss of jobs to the workers in these hotels in the tourist spots. This has led to decrease in the inflow of tourists into the country thus decrease in the foreign exchange of the country.

Kenya’s decision to go to war in Somalia in the pursuit of al-shaabab have caused by the loss of lives due to their immoral behaviors like suicide bombings. This has led to loss of thousand lives thus the pursuit.

Kenya did not invade Somalia as a country. It went there in hot pursuit to exterminate thugs that had made Kenya their playground. They had become so daring that they started kidnapping and abducting Kenyans and tourists at will. It was becoming unsafe for tourists to visit Lamu and Malindi beach resort, more scary was the realization that even Nairobi was no longer recruitment of Kenyan young people took place, brainwashed and returned to Kenya to carry out terrorist attacks. Such attacks had increased with alarming frequency.

To a smaller extent Kenya’s decision to go to war in the pursuit of al-shaabab was ill-informed due to the following reasons;

The decision has caused tension in this, country because the people of Kenya are afraid that the of future attack at anytime as revenge by the militant following their statement which they channeled through the media. Because of the killings of al-shaabab members, by the Kenyan soldiers , the al-shaabab are planning and have also taken some minor steps of revenging  which gives a sign that at anytime they may attack severely.

The international system in the new millennium

 What kind of world order is now emerging? This is Georg Sorensen inquiry through a contemporary attempt to explain debate confusion depicting a new world order. He argues that any comprehensive analysis of order must address four major aspects or dimensions of the phenomena. They include (a) the realist concern of the politico-military balance of war; (b) the liberal concern of the make-up of international institutions and emergence of global governance; (c) the constructivist concern of the realm of ideas and ideology, with a focus on the existence or otherwise of common values on a global scale; and (d) the IPE (International Political Economy) concern of the economic realm of production, finance and distribution. He defines the new balance as an ‘interregnum’ since a stable order has not been established but significant elements of the old order stay in place. Sorensen goes on to discuss the consequences of the new situation by briefly looking into the four aspects.

Looking at order during the cold war, he observes that “order during the cold war was a discernible pattern”, characterized by bipolarity foundation, military competition between the two superpowers and their respective allies including a ‘west-west and a north-south order. The western order, based on the American hegemony and the Breton woods system’. The south-north order is also based on the process of decolonization and entry of the newly independent states into the system of the UN organization.

Sorensen defines world order as, “a governing arrangement among states, meeting the current demand for order in major areas of concern” from this definition he First focuses on world order in a generic sense, in contrast to the use of the term by some politicians, who use it as a description or justification for certain policies they want to promote. Some scholars use the concept to describe the specific foreign policies of certain government administrations. Visions of order, including the foreign policies based on such visions, have shown inputs to the debate about the proper world order; they are not in themselves  order substance.

Second, not every governing arrangement among states can qualify as a world order according to the definition. To qualify, such an arrangement needs to meet the current demand for order in major areas. In that sense, the analysis of world order has a normative aspect: does the governing arrangement that exists meet the aspirations about order expressed by states? Third, the focus is on world order, that is, on the global level. Many governing arrangements are sub global, and concern a region or even smaller groups of states. Such arrangements, such as the European Union (EU), together with the domestic arrangements of states, are not unimportant for world order, but they are conditions for world order and not world order as such.

Capability of organization data information collection

Car and general ability to capture data or information specifically for pricing and price management has never been put in place. Data and information has only been done generally in all organization parameters thus there has been a serious pricing data collection as car and general market executives and sales people are responsible for the giving of red-light i.e. relaying information only meetings which are held very Monday morning.

Need to develop database

The need to develop a database is however recognized to bring out the organizations ability to capture data. As earlier discussed car and general is in no place whatsoever to collect information. Creation of a database will make sure that all useful data or information collected effectively.

The database should often be reviewed and support to test its ability in the collect of data especially the pricing and price management are. It should however encompass collection of data or information from the different perspective like competitive pricing friends in the market, market growth and pricing mechanisms/ strategies which competitors use among others

The database itself should avoid complicated as most do become a success due to the following qualities;

a)      Simplicity

b)      Understandable

c)      Cost effective  etc
