M.G.K. Menon, advisor with the Indian Space Research Organisation, presented the awards to the 10 students, selected from five IITs on the basis of their performances.

Russia has held discussion with Indonesia to ink a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen cooperation in education, Antara has reported.

Aji Surya, a counselor at the Indonesian Embassy in Moscow said Saturday that the Russian Minister of Education and Science Andrei Aleksandrovich Fursenko had held a meeting with Indonesian Ambassador to Russia Hamid Awaluddin on Friday at the embassy.

In the meeting, the Russian minister delivered an invitation for his Indonesian counterpart National Education Minister Bambang Sudibyo for a meeting to discuss the Russian proposal and to sign the MoU on April.

Hamid said in the meeting that the Indonesian government looks forward more scholarship for Indonesian students in Russia and more Russian language lecturers to come to Indonesia.

Hamid also told the Russian minister that Bambang had planned to visit Moscow after attending a UNESCO meeting in Bonn, Germany, late March 2009.

When demand for nurses is at its highest level, nursing schools across the country are turning down applicants to their baccalaureate and master’s degree programs. They simply don’t have the faculty to teach them.

“We aren’t seeing nurses in their late 20s and early 30s applying for faculty positions,” said Susan Gunby, dean of the Georgia Baptist College of Nursing at Mercer University in Atlanta. “Our applicants are in their 40s, 50s and 60s, and while we’re glad to see them entering teaching, we have to have some younger people in the pipeline.”

Besides classroom teaching, nursing instructors must stand up to demanding 12-hour shifts when supervising students during clinical rotations.

Mercer plans to address a key factor in the nursing shortage by educating more nursing instructors. The school has established a new Ph.D. program in nursing education and will enroll its first eight students this fall. » Read the rest of the entry..

The News of the World has launched a new journalism scholarship to commemorate former executive editor of the paper Bob Warren, who died earlier this month.

Warren spent un unparalleled 45 years with the News of the World and died after a short illness, while still at the paper, aged 73.

Editor Colin Myler said: “Many senior executives owe their careers to the start Bob gave them. It is absolutely fitting that our scholarship carries his name.

“Journalists who pass through our training scheme should know that they are custodians of a great tradition of excellence in reporting and story-getting, and Bob helped forge that tradition for almost half a century.

“We will make sure each new generation respects the values that made Bob so special.’’

The Robert Warren Scholarship is a two-year graduate course in which successful applicants are sent to a formal training college for five months to work for their diploma in journalism, before completing their training in-house at the News of the World.
