Fruits of Opportunism
An in-depth examination of the regulatory, entrepreneurial, and organizational factors contributing to the expansion and transformation of China’s supplemental education industry.Like many parents in the United States, parents in China, increasingly concerned with their children’s academic performance, are turning to for-profit tutoring businesses to help their children get ahead in school. China’s supplemental education industry is now the world’s largest and most vibrant for-profit education market, and we can see its influence on the US higher education system: more than 70% of Chinese students studying in American universities have taken test preparation classes for overseas standardized tests. The Fruits of Opportunism offers a much-needed thorough investigation into this industry. This book examines how opportunistic organizations thrived in an ambiguous policy environment and how they catalyzed organizational and institutional changes in this industry.A former insider in China’s Education Industry, sociologist Le Lin shows how and why this industry evolved to become a for-profit one dominated by private, formal, nationally operating, and globally financed corporations, despite restrictions the Chinese state placed on the industry. Looking closely at the opportunistic organizations that were founded by marginal entrepreneurs and quickly came to dominate the market, Lin finds that as their non-compliant practices spread across the industry, these opportunistic organizations pushed privatization and marketization from below. The case of China’s Education Industry laid out in The Fruits of Opportunism illustrates that while opportunism leaves destruction in its wake, it can also drive the formation and evolution of a market.

Revival of Maoism in Reform-Era China
This book reveals the deeper connection between China’s “New Era” under Xi Jinping and the political drama that preceded his rise, focusing on Bo Xilai’s ambitious campaign for power in Chongqing from 2008 to 2012. Bo, like Xi, was the son of a revolutionary leader and widely viewed as Xi’s chief rival during Hu Jintao’s final years. His spectacular downfall in 2012—marked by scandals of murder, corruption, and diplomatic intrigue—was China’s most dramatic political crisis since Tiananmen. The book offers a revisionist account of how and why Bo launched an unusually public political campaign within an authoritarian system. His Mao-style populism and egalitarian rhetoric, showcased through mass mobilization in Chongqing, foreshadowed many of the ideological and policy tendencies that have come to define Xi’s rule.

Lin se vis, Leesboek 1, Leesjaar 1
Die Lekkerlees aanvangs geletterdheidsprogram volg 'n holistiese geintegreerde benadering ten opsigte van lees- en taalonderrig. Daar word van temas gebruik gemaak om 'n betekenisvolle konteks te skep vir die verwerwing van lees- en taalvaardighede. Dit beteken dat die lees- en luisteraktiwiteite sowel as die mondelinge en skriftelike stelwerk nie geisoleerd van mekaar staan nie, maar deur die temas bepaal en gebind word. Die gebruik van taal vir denkwaardighede sowel as die strukture wat goeie taalgebruik onderle, word deurlopend ingeweef. Elke tema word:* informeel en terloops in die Klasleesboek (twee leesboeke per graad) bekend gestel.* uitgebrei gedurende die mondelinge aktiwiteite,* geoefen in die Klaswerkboek (een werkboek per leerder per graad), * finaal vasgele in die gegradeerde Aanvullende leesboek A, B, of C (dit sluit aan by die leesvardigheid van individuele leerders).* uitvoerig in die Onderwysersgids begelei met metodiek, assesseringstrategiee en wenke.
