Leslie Croxford Oral History
No full textLeslie Croxford was born in Alexandria in 1944 , son of a British military officer and a mother from the city's Jewish community. He recounts the several years he spent growing up in a military camp there before moving to England for secondary school and university. After teaching at universities in England and abroad in the 1970s and 1980s, Croxford joined the American University in Cairo in 1983 as a member of the English and Comparative Literature Department, of whose chair Doris Shoukry he provides a portrait. Croxford served as Director of AUC's Freshman Writing Program, which he covers in detail. He also addresses his participation in efforts to launch AUC's Core Curriculum, and the sometimes contentious issue of AUC's role as a liberal arts institution. Croxford, who published a novel set in Alexandria, also touches on his career after AUC including serving as an administrator at the British University in Egypt for over a decade after 2005

Tensions between the Equity and Efficiency of Schooling: the Case of Scotland
No full textEquity and efficiency are the twin goals of European education policymakers, but there are tensions between these goals. This article illustrates these tensions within the school system of Scotland, drawing on two recent research projects: ‘Fabricating Quality in European Education’ (FABQ) and the Applied Educational Research Scheme (AERS) study entitled ‘How do schools in Scotlandmeasure their own performance?’ It outlines the Quality Assurance and Evaluation (QAE) system developed in Scotland since the 1980s in line with neo-liberal policy approaches and describes the problems of inequity identified by a review of Scottish education by the Organisation for EconomicCooperation and Development (OECD). Case studies of schools illustrate how pressures for continuous improvement in attainment lead to practices that exacerbate inequalities. Ability grouping within schools can have similar consequences to those of ‘tracked’ school systems in Europe thatincrease inequalities. The article emphasises that the tensions between equity and efficiency need to be acknowledged at national and European levels, and directly addressed as a policy problem

Real time carbon monoxide measurements from 56 UK homes
No full textThis paper reports results from the monitoring part of a recent UK Department of Health funded project
investigating carbon monoxide (CO) levels in homes during the winter of 2002/2003. In all, 56 homes were
monitored for carbon monoxide in 3 cities across the UK.
The homes were selected as part of the UK government Warm Front evaluation programme (aimed at reducing fuel
poverty) and might be expected to have a higher incidence of problem gas appliances emitting higher than average
amounts of CO than the general population. However the ventilation rate of these homes might also be expected to
be higher.
Measurements of CO were taken at 15-minute intervals in a representative location in the main living area of each
home. Thirteen or 23% of the homes were found to exceed the WHO guideline values for ambient CO
concentrations.
In each home that exceeded the guidelines an assessment of source concentration of each appliance was made by
an expert gas engineer, it was found that old, poor quality gas appliances caused a large proportion of exceedances
