Hello friends. How are you?

Subtitles on 1:01

Today I want to talk about education. And in my

head there are two kinds of education- it's

self-education and education, that is,

university, school and etc. I'm a big

fan of self-education.

Why? Because self-education is

whatever you really like you're just

studying that, that is you are enlarging your

consciousness in a field which you

like the most. And why I do not like

education, formal

education, that is universities, schools

and so on, it is because they are designed for

tests. That is, roughly speaking,

We have five chapters. The first two weeks we

will learn first chapter and then test. The second two

week will focus on the second chapter, then test, and so on. And

when we come to the end, I forgot all

four chapters already, because I

focused on passing the test. I mean

universities and schools are not designed for

understanding, not designed for

real knowledge. They are designed for

tests and maybe something will remain

later. Of course a lot of people, so that they

understand the material they need to study a lot,

to work a lot on this material. But..

but often we just memorize

answers, then take test; and after the test, we've

forgotten everything, because we do not understand

the material, we just remember it. And now,

in my university, I I realized that I do not want to

learn for the sake of test, that is, I now

try to understand this or the other material. And

if the test asks me something that I don't

know. For example, in economy, "when

one or another organization was

founded? "It does not matter! These facts are not important, I

learn concepts, I learn

some techniques, I learn structure,

systems, but I do not learn the facts because

the facts are not important. And as a result, when I

take the text, I will make mistakes on

those factual questions, that is, where

they ask me only facts. Because I'm

not interested in that. I am interested in

the process itself. To me the facts are not important. And

that's why- to get back to our topic, I do not like

education because ...not because it's

bad, but because the approach is not right.

The material is very useful, but

learning technique is not designed for

the understanding of material, for getting

this material. It is designed

to pass the test and that's it. And many of my

classmates forgot everything from previous

courses. Everything! Because they

had a goal to pass the test. They

had no purpose in understand the material,

so they have forgotten everything. But self-education

it is a very different story. You yourself

are doing something, you are interested in

understanding. So, if education in

a university- it as standard of our world

now. That is, if you you want to live a good

life, then go to a university. It's like an

obligation already now. In

self-education it is this is a very rare ...

a very rare case, when the people themselves

are teaching themselves the material. And you

all here for self-education. You are

not forced to learn, you yourself want it. And

that's why I respect you a lot for it.

Because you do not learn to pass

tests, maybe some of you are learning

for that, but generally you learn, to

to understand, to be able to speak. You have very

different goals. And so, self-education

for me is a very big

information resource, very big resource of

motivation, goals and so on, because the

and that is where real information lies.

Many of the tips that I received from the video

on the Internet from other

speakers, I cannot get in

a university. I'm sure that my channel, and

in general, the cause for which I still have

my channel. I do not think I got

this inspiration from a university, I received

it from self-education. So

universities did not inspire me to

do something of my own, and I was inspired

specifically by self-education. And

also, the last point-

is that the formal education,

classical education, in the

university is not focuses on

individual needs of each person,

because it's just unreal. Too

many people in the class, and to find an individual

approach to each

person. It is impossible to do. And that is,

for me at the university now, I am an

entrepreneur, I I want to be a businessman,

and I have no one to teach me how to become

a businessmen, what should I do, which

routine, somehow

to implement every day, what do I do that,

that will allow me take a step forward.

I learn how to manage finances

of companies, other people's companies, how to

properly act in the company to

get promoted, to get a bigger

salary, and so on. So, I am taught to be

a good employee, but not an employer. And

this is a big difference. And I have found many

tips, many instructions on how

to be a businessman, how to be an

entrepreneur through Internet,

self-education. So, I have taken

my personal needs and applied them

in self-education, and

I studied them through self-education. Well

self-education is

good, because the main thing is to understand

something, understanding of the meaning. Education, as

formal education, has

many shortcomings. it's still a good

knowledge resource, but I believe that every

self-respecting person should educate themselves,

they themselves must learn what

they want.

[Canada] uberASSIST Online Education Course: Introduction (1/4) - Duration: 6:04.

♫

Tracy Schmitt: Welcome all to uberASSIST,

my name is Tracy,

I was born a four-way amputee.

They don't know why; it's just a fluke,

and I am a huge accessibility advocate for Uber,

and I can't begin to tell you

how important transportation is to people with disabilities,

and all of you

can make a massive difference in transportation.

Thank you for being here today.

So what brings us together here for this education session?

You may be asking yourself, "How come I'm here?

I don't have a wheelchair accessible vehicle."

What's great about uberASSIST

is that all drivers can have regular sedans.

uberASSIST is door-to-door,

which is just slightly different than uberX,

which is curb-to-curb.

It's for people that might use a manual wheelchair;

it's for people that might have a cane; it's for seniors.

It's for anyone that can use a regular sedan,

and does not need a wheelchair accessible vehicle.

So for me, as a four-way amputee,

what that means is that the uberASSIST partner,

instead of just parking on the street,

would be willing to come up my driveway,

and willing to get out of their car,

and assist me right from my door.

So here is what we're going to cover today.

My story, and how uberASSIST changed the way I get around.

How to interact with anyone who might have a disability.

How you can provide five-star service

with uberASSIST,

including specific tips on how to accommodate seniors,

or people with physical or cognitive impairments.

Then you're ready!

So for me, climbing mountains

has been easier than transportation.

And that's what fabulous about uberASSIST,

is that it provides that important, required service.

You know, in this photo, you see me rappelling

for the first time ever,

and what you don't see in this photo,

is that there's someone on my safety line, out of shot.

And I remember that first time, rappelling,

and when my stumps left the cliff edge,

I sort of froze – kinda scared,

the first time ever doing this!

And the lady from over the cliff shouted,

"Tracy! I don't have control over you anymore!"

And it was scary, but then it was like,

I'm doing this!

And you guys are like that safety line.

You guys make it possible for me to get out and about,

and have those moments of independence, with your support.

As drivers assisting me,

believing in the capabilities of your customers

and people like myself, is much appreciated.

Transportation has been my biggest challenge.

Thank you for being part of the solution with uberASSIST.

So why be excited about uberASSIST?

We spoke about the first one –

you're making a huge positive impact,

and changing many people's lives for the better as a result.

I hope you're as excited as I am about that.

Second, uberASSIST means new economic opportunities for you.

Seniors and people with disabilities

are a quickly growing market segment,

and as uberASSIST partners,

you have a unique access to these customers.

So more trips also includes people

that might have broke their leg,

or someone who's pregnant,

or someone like the person in this photo.

They have an invisible disability.

You might not be able to tell,

but this person has a visual impairment.

What's important as an uberASSIST partner,

is that you never ask how come someone has a disability,

or how come someone's using uberASSIST.

It's a very personal question.

It's kind of like asking, "How come you're divorced?"

It's a personal question; it's not appropriate.

So while customers pay the same fare as uberX,

you as an uberASSIST partner

receive a lower service fee of 15% on your uberASSIST rides.

This means you'll have the opportunity

to make more money on every uberASSIST trip.

♫

Tracy Schmitt: So we've talked about what is uberASSIST,

and how it's improved my life getting out and about.

Next up, is how to communicate with people with disabilities.

So, when communicating with a person with a disability,

it involves two pieces:

it's put the person first by saying it first,

and it involves perceiving them first,

before their disability.

So when we're talking about the language of "person first,"

it means literally putting the person first in the sentence.

So for example, instead of diabetic person,

it's a person with diabetes.

Or, wheelchair user?

It's a person that uses a wheelchair.

And so literally putting the person first,

it shows the dignity and respect

of seeing the person before you talk about their disability.

So person first is the language,

person first is also the perception of person first.

It's more than saying person first.

Let's take my friend Sarah, for example.

She's someone who uses a wheelchair.

She's also a mom, she's an athlete,

she's an author, she's a person

before she's a person who uses a wheelchair.

And yourselves as Uber drivers,

you're an Uber driver, but you're also artists,

and athletes, and dreamers yourself.

We are all so much more than just one facet of our lives.

Remember, say and see the person first.

Post-Compulsory Education and Training (PCET) - Duration: 1:51.

In Wales education is compulsory from the ages of 5 to 16.

After the age of 16, people can choose to continue learning in different ways. We call this post

compulsory education and training or PCET. Even though PCET is an English term

it's used by Welsh language speakers too. A 2016 review into PCET found weaknesses

in the existing system, and felt that learners might not be able to understand

the learning and career paths available to them. To improve PCET in Wales the

review suggested an overarching vision and a new organisation to manage the

system. The Welsh Government accepted these suggestions and now needs your

views on plans to make some of the most important changes. One of these changes

is about the creation of the new organisation, which will be called the

Tertiary Education and Research Commission for Wales.

The Commission would be responsible for planning, funding and monitoring PCET,

as well as managing relationships to help improve quality. A key part of the

Commission's work will also be about protecting the interests of learners and

making sure vocational and academic roots are equally valued. The Welsh

Government wants to ensure that learners have clear and flexible learning and

career pathways, and improved information and advice on options.

It's also important that existing barriers to education and training are removed

so that all people who want to improve their skills and career options can benefit.

So if you have thoughts about these plans, have your say and join the consultation.

IAEFA: Education Across Barriers - Duration: 1:43.

*Addressing class*

My role in IEAFA is the Director of Education.

I am responsible for curriculum development and delivery as well as instructor training.

The Inter-European Air Forces Academy curriculum is directly derived from squadron officer

school and N-C-O academy curriculum.

Most of it is founded in leadership principles, followership, communication, self-awareness

and team building.

What makes us unique is our target audience…about 90% of our students are from NATO or partnership

for peace nations.

Bringing courses like this to our partner nations is all about building partnership

capacity.

So working together, being together that synergistic effect – stronger together

really is a benefit of what we're doing here.

Ukraine is a little bit unique; because this is the first time we're delivering the curriculum

in the host nations language, so that made it a little bit different.

So to prepare for this training team here in Ukraine we had to translate all the curriculum

of course – all the student reading, all the lesson plans into Ukrainian and any other

supporting documents that we had – maybe PowerPoint slides,

things of that nature.

So it's really the transition should be seamless for our students, where everything is presented in

their native language by native language speakers with us augmenting.

This course is basically an opportunity.

It's an opportunity to improve your skills and ultimately become a better person and

it's not just being a better military member – these are life skills.
