 GERMANY
              In Germany there are at present some 312 state and state - recognised higher education institutions divided into three types. There are two semesters each academic year.

           These comprise universities and equivalent higher  education institutions such as technical universities, comprehensive universities (Gesamthochschulen) and specialised institutions at university level (eg.for medicine, sport, administrative studues, philosophy and theology).
 FACHHOCHSCHULEN
       Fachhochschulen are institutions which have the take of providing students with practical training on an acadmic or artistic basic. Degree programmes and teching at Fachhochschulen are strongly oriented toward vocational studies and the partical requirements of working life.  Fachhochschulen offer shorter courses than the universitites and arts and music colleges, particularly in the engineering disciplines, in business administration, social work and creative arts.
COLLEGES OF ART AND MUSIC
       A second strand of higher education establishment is the Kunst-und Musikhochsulen which, as well as the corresponding subject areas in the universities and Gesamthochchulen, provide training in the fine arts and oerforming arts and also in music subjects.
LINIGUISTIC ABILITY
       German is the languge of instruction for all lectures, classes and seminars and you will be required to pass a  German language test to be admitted to , or registered with a higher education institution.This is usually administered by the institution it self and is taken before you start your studies. There are vatious language courses avalible through the German cultural institute (the Goethe-institut) in German or abroad, as well as well as couses offered by languge schools and higher education institutions in Germany, these include summer holiday courses, pre-study courses and courses accompanying regular study.
ACCOMMODATION
     You are not assured of accoommodation when you register with a German university in German university or Fachhochschule. There are halls of residence but most German and foreign students have to find their own accommodation. You should go to Germany well in  advance of the beginning of the semester to arrange a place to live. Initially you may have to stay in a youth hostel biarding house or  other cheap accommodation until better housing is found. Selection of students for the ralatively few halls of residence takes place six months in advance of the semester so you should apply well in advance.The Akademische Auslands Smter, Studentenwerke and other university services will give you assistance.
Student organisations and services
    In most German states, you would automatically become a member of the studentenschaft (student body) when you register - an organisation established to help students look after their own interests. you could also join one of the political groups or ohter societies. Your overall interests as a foreign student would be looked after by the Akadmisches Auslandsamt. The advisory service will provide general tips to help you organise your studies when you arrive. Student welfare offices will give assistance, social or medical problems. German and foreign students recive a student card upon register at a higher education institution and can, as a rule, use public transport at reduced prices and eat inexpensive meals in studen canteens.
  Student from Birmingham who studied in Kiel highlighted.
"The fact that my language ability was vastly improved, without realising it, Towards the end of my stay I was complimented on my German when someone said I didn't sound English,as I had a good German accent."

U.S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION DATA BASE OF ACCREDITED SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS AND PROGRAMS
     The accreditation database is brought to you by the U.S. Department of education's Office of post secondary education. Each of the post secondary education institutions and programs contained within the database is, or was accredited by an accrediting agency ot state approval agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of education as a "reliable authority as to the quality of post secondary education" within the meaning of the higher education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The database does not include a number of post secondary educational institutions and programs that elect not to seek accreditation but nevertheless may provide a quality post secondary education.
     The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provide by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. Accrediting agencies, which are private educational associations of regional or national scope, develop evaluation criteria and conduct peer evaluations to assess whether or not those criteria are met. Institutions and/or programs that request an agency's evaluation and that meet an agency's criteria are then "accredited" by that agency.
     The U.S. Department of education does not accredit educational institutions and/or programs. However, the Secretary of education is required by law to public a list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies that the secretary determines to be reliable authorities as to the quality of education or training provided by the institutions of higher education and the higher education programs they accredit. the U.S. Secretary of education also recognized states agencies for the approval of public post secondary vocational education and state agencies for the approval of nurse education.
      The secretary of education's recognition of accrediting agencies is limited by statute to accreditation activities within the united states., these actions are not within the legal authority of the department of education to to recognize, are not review by th e department, and the department does not exercise any oversight over them. Consequently, institutions and programs out the united states, these actions are not within the legal authority of the department of education to recognize, are not reviewed by the department, and the department does not exercise any oversight over them. consequently, institutions and programs outside the united states that are accredited by recognized  agencies are not included in the U.S. department of education database of accredited post secondary institutions and programs.
      Special note about institutions on the list that have by the name of the agency. the process of seeking and recognition from department is a demanding one for accrediting agencies, and not always essential to their mission. on occasion, agencies request to withdraw from recognition. on other occasions, the department withdraw its recognition, up on a determination that an agency no longer meets recognition criteria. Because recognition decisions, in the first instance, concern accrediting agencies rather than accredited institutions and programs a cessation of recognition should not simply be presumed to reflect negatively on the quality of the institutions or programs accredited by that agency. For this reason the department is authorized to permit institutions participating in the federal student and programs that are accredited by an agency that is no longer recognized up to 18 months of continued participation to obtain alternative accreditation from a different, recognized status by inserting by the name of the agency each time it appears in the listing.
   The U.S. Department of education recommends that the database be used as one source of qualitative information and that additional sources of qualitative information be consulted. the database is compiled entirely from publicly available information obtained by u.s.department of education from recognized accrediting agencies and state approval agencies, the U.S. department of education cannot therefore guarantee that the information contained in the database is accurate, current, or complete

“I must say that I am so excited about this curriculum...I love the way that the reading
strategies are built into the lesson by using background knowledge, predicting, graphic
organizers and working with partners. . . the students thoroughly enjoyed the lesson plans
and wanted to do more. The lesson plans were well organized, had terrific graphics, and
were interesting.”
Charlotte Pellechio, Reading Teacher, Leto High School, Tampa FL
“This past summer I used the USA TODAY Summer Program for my 11th and 12th grade
students who still have not passed the FCAT. These students are really hard to reach and
have negative attitudes about reading in general. All I can say is WOW! I have not seen
this level of student so engaged and interested in reading in I can't tell you how long! They
would come in, grab a paper, and sit down to start reading before the bell even rang! And,
getting them to do the work was no problem because they were usually given a choice of
article to read, within the parameters of the lesson, which made the reading relevant to
them. I specifically asked them on the last day if they would like to use the newspapers like
this in their reading classes next year and I received an enthusiastic "Yes!" The lesson
plans were easy to use and the curriculum was aligned to our state standards. Well worth
the money!”

EDUCATION IN BRITAIN

WELCOME PNL

Education in Britain
 A Education in Britain is second to none. We lead the world in cutting-edge research opportunities, internationally recognised degrees and relevant, high-quality, high-standard training. I am delighted that over 800,000 international students are finding this out for themselves.
International students no longer need to obtain permission to work, so they can earn extra money while studying in the United Kingdom. A student can work part-time for up to 20 hours a week during term time and full-time during vacations. And if the course runs for a year or more, the student’s dependants can now work in the United Kingdom, even if they here for less than a year.
We have also introduced simplified entry procedures for United Kingdom visa holders and are making the visa service more user-friendly for students. International students can now expect to have straightforward visa applications dealt with within 24 hours, and non-straightforward applications within 10 days.
Studying in the United Kingdom will not only give students a thorough understanding of the subject but also analytical abilities and problem solving skills that are much prized by employers.
The chance to improve their language skills is bringing many students to this country. English is the language of commerce, of the Internet, of global communication and of medicine. We are proud that 750 million people world-wide have now learnt our language. That English is becoming a lingua franca means that students who have studied here are in demand all over the world.

As part of our plans, the flagship Chevening Scholarship Scheme now offers up to 1,000 scholarships each year for overseas students to undertake postgraduate study or research in the United Kingdom.
Most Chevening scholarships are for one-year Masters courses, but some are for shorter specialised courses lasting up to six months. Courses include law, business administration and international relations. They allow talented graduates and young professionals to become familiar with the United Kingdom and to gain skills that will benefit their countries. British Embassies and High Commissions select candidates for the scholarships, which are offered in more than 150 countries including India, China and Brazil.
If you’d like to find out more about studying in the United Kingdom, visit our website at www.dfee.gov.United Kingdom/international-students
 
But we want even more people to be aware of these opportunities. In June 1999, we announced the start of a worldwide campaign to increase the number of international students in the United Kingdom. We set a new target of attracting 75,000 extra students to the United Kingdom by 2005. To make this possible, we have made studying in this country more affordable and more welcoming.
