		<description><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scholar_Ship">The Scholar Ship</a> , an international floating university stewarded by top universities in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aui.ma/&quot;&gt;Morocco&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/index.html&quot;&gt;United Kingdom&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fudan.edu.cn/englishnew/&quot;&gt;China&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mq.edu.au/&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://cmportal.itesm.mx/wps/portal&quot;&gt;Mexico&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.berkeley.edu/&quot;&gt;USA&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ug.edu.gh/&quot;&gt;Ghana&lt;/a&gt;, have &lt;a href=&quot;http://thescholarship.com&quot;&gt;temporarily suspended all voyages&lt;/a&gt; due to lack of funds - mainly caused by the withdrawal of main sponsor and initiator &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.royalcaribbean.com/allaboutcruising/higherLearning.do&quot;&gt;Royal Caribbean International&lt;/a&gt;. The program ran two voyages in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thescholarship.com/voyages/voyage_details.aspx?id=1&quot;&gt;2007&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thescholarship.com/voyages/voyage_details.aspx?id=2&quot;&gt;2008&lt;/a&gt; before shutdown. Alumni and prospective students on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19850106540&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://thescholarship.ning.com/&quot;&gt;Ning&lt;/a&gt; are busily sourcing options to revive the organization, while &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.semesteratsea.org/news-and-events/press-releases/accepting-student-applications-from-the-scholar-ship.php&quot;&gt;Semester at Sea is offering spaces&lt;/a&gt; to students who were accepted for the now-cancelled voyages.</description>

		<link>http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/72512</link>
		<description><a href="http://www.swaraj.org/shikshantar/rethinking_literacy.htm">The Dark Side of Literacy</a> - Indian education reform organization &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.swaraj.org/shikshantar/&quot;&gt;Shikshantar&lt;/a&gt;, who aims to encourage concepts of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swaraj&quot;&gt;&quot;Swaraj&quot;, or self-rule&lt;/a&gt; in local education, argues that current education and literacy models &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.swaraj.org/shikshantar/voicesfrommewar.html&quot;&gt;do not take into account local cultures and languages&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.swaraj.org/shikshantar/shlain_image.htm&quot;&gt;gives too much credit to the Western alphabet&lt;/a&gt;. They also argue that there are &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.swaraj.org/shikshantar/exposing_the_illusion.html&quot;&gt;many serious flaws&lt;/a&gt; in what they describe as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.swaraj.org/shikshantar/mceducationforall.htm&quot;&gt;UNESCO&apos;s campaign of &quot;McEducation For All&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
