The All Tribal Students' Union Manipur has announced its boycott of the ongoing process for the recruitment of 679 graduate teachers, due to the failure to specify the number reserved seats for Scheduled Tribes to be filled through backlog if there is shortage, as promised to the union. The statement of the union clearly pointed out that recruitment of graduate teachers through regular process and any steps taken by the government will not solve the problems of the hill areas unless some sort of special consideration is given to the hill schools. besides, the said process has already jeopardized the whole system of ‘contract teachers'.

Who's In Prison? The Changing Demographics of Incarceration is our site of the day
This report by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) released publicly late last night is very timely in the debate over our state's prisons and solutions for the current overcrowding and high recidivism rate we are experiencing. Perhaps some of the information in this report will be helpful as the legislature considers measures in the final three weeks of the session. Next year, when these thorny problems are revisited by the legislature and others concerned with good public policy in this area, the report will undoubtedly be revisited. The PPIC study shows that California's prisoners aren't who they used to be The comprehensive demographic analysis reveals a prison population that is not only larger but changing dramatically. Some of the major changes have unsettling implications, including potentially prohibitive health care costs for an aging inmate population and the social welfare consequences of incarcerated women with minor children.

Wales:
The evolving world of recruitment
THE one thing that has been constant in recruitment has been change. An industry that once relied on contacts and names held in a "little black book" has become a multi-million-pound sophisticated business using the best in modern communications and system technology. Through boom and recession recruiters have faced constant challenges brought about by skills shortages. Sometimes these have been regional and sometimes national issues. Employers have responded positively to this by spending more time and money on succession planning and the training and development of their staff. But when a company needs to recruit staff another major issue can arise - relocation. (icWales)
