Global Organic Food & Beverages 11. Market Perspective with Study of Leading Players and Revenue to Significant Growth Forecast by 2026 - CupMint

Dr Edward P Echlin

Dr Edward P Echlin, eco-theologian and organic gardener, died just before Christmas at the age of 89 years. We in the UK churches have lost a great advocate of "ecological conversion". The natural world has lost a dedicated friend.

I have known Edward and his wife Barbara since Christian Ecology Link (or CEL, now Green Christian) was founded in the early 1980s.

He spoke at conferences of the National Justice and Peace Network in the 1990s, and his firm promise that despite getting invitations to speak from around the world he would never fly was the first time I realised how serious the response to environmental crises needed to be.

In 2012, he ran a workshop at CEL's 30th anniversary conference in Bristol, arguing that small scale, biodiverse, organic food production not only preserves soil and stabilises climate but is also the most productive form of agriculture. That same year he helped Sisters of St Joseph of Peace and associates - gathered in London from the United States, Haiti, El Salvador and Britain - to explore their mission of Peace and Care for Creation.

He urged a move away from an oil-based lifestyle, undertaking gardening, and supporting local environmental initiatives such as farmers' markets. He presented a Hubbard squash plant from the Echlin's organic garden to the sisters. He was always generous in drawing attention to the unsung heroes who have put climate change on the agenda of the Christian churches in Britain, and paid warm tribute to Barbara, a great networker in building up the Green Christian movement.

Edward was critical of the obsession so many Christians have with 'inner journey' spiritualities and debates about church structures. He suggested that the Churches should focus much more on, and indeed have "a priceless contribution" to offer to, the Earth community in its struggle to mitigate climate change. We sometimes forget that we are the "prophetic presence of the living and risen Jesus Christ". He was a 'hands-on' kind of theologian. He wandered around allotments to discover the "precious wisdom" of allotment holders, and, indeed, to learn from the wisdom inherent in the whole soil community of plants and animals. He had enormous respect for the world's small growers and farmers, highlighting that their efforts feed millions throughout the world. It was rare to turn up to a meeting with Edward and Barbara and not be treated to tasty tomatoes or pears from their garden.

He was born on 15 January 1930 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1948 and remained a Jesuit for 25 years. In the early 1970s he lectured in England - at Ushaw College, Durham, and as Catholic Lecturer at the Anglican theological college at Lincoln. He was laicised and married Barbara in December 1974. Always interested in the environment, from the eighties onwards he focused all his efforts on relating Jesus Christ and the Earth. He saw rebuilding a mutually supportive relationship of humans with the Earth community, as the defining issue of the twenty-first century. He wrote three books: Earth Spirituality, Jesus at the Centre (1999/2002), The Cosmic Circle, Jesus and Ecology (2004), and Climate and Christ, A Prophetic Alternative (2010). He also wrote numerous articles in both academic and popular journals and magazines, and had a chapter in the 2017 book Reclaiming the Common Good - How Christians can help rebuild our broken world.

Earth Spirituality: Jesus at the Centre traced Edward's own life journey - from the starting point of his childhood experiences in the Great Lakes of North America, through years with the Jesuits, to his life in Southern England as an ecological theologian and organic gardener. He presented wonderful images of a childhood in Michigan which greatly influenced his concern for the natural world. As a boy, he remembered seeing the stumps of trees everywhere. Some were as tall as a boy because lumberjacks, working on snowshoes and wielding two-man saws, worked despite the thick snow which carpeted the State between November and March. "As I grew up, homes for car workers were replacing the cleared farms which had replaced the woods," he said, and he was alerted to other environmental issues too. The passenger pigeon was extinct by 1914 but there were elderly people around during his boyhood who "remembered them whistling through the sky in their millions." He says that, "we wondered as boys if it could happen to other birds, to animals, to us too".

His "Jesuit years" reinforced the embracing of a spirituality which encompassed God's Earth. "Ignatius tells us to thank other creatures, the angels, saints, heavenly bodies, and all soil creatures, including those that move in the waters, that, despite our sin, they support us, remain in relationships with us, and do not destroy us." He was a great admirer of theologian Teilhard de Chardin and took the view that good is in all things and all things in God. Edward lived in England with Barbara from the 1970s, first in Ripon and then in East Sussex. In East Sussex he insulated the walls and the roof to save energy, installing solar tubes which heat water about half the year, and purchased bicycles.

He talked of the desirability of liberating theology from academic confinement and condemned the failure of Church leaders and theologians "to provide a theologically compelling Earth spirituality or to bite the sharp bullet of sustainable living". He drew attention to the cosmological dimensions in the birth and death of Jesus - the star, the earthquake and the descent of unusual darkness on the earth. Echlin painted a picture of the environment that Jesus lived in and linked references to the natural world in the everyday life and parables of Jesus. He felt Jesus offers a reconciliation which encompasses a wounded planet, saying, "Reconciliation in Jesus of Nazareth, risen and glorified, includes all families and all creatures, the entire earth community, past, present and future".

Edward felt the sensitivity of Jesus to nature is particularly vivid in his parables, which are "derived from living close to the natural world and from familiarity with the Jewish scriptures and their metaphors of cosmic order, drawn from predictably changing seasons, reliable skies and winds, seas which did not transgress the limits of the strand, birds which migrated seasonally in Autumn and on the Spring thermals". He felt keenly the loss of Sunday - the Sabbath - as a special day of prayer and community in a society where people are more likely to spend the day working and shopping. As for sacraments, he felt Baptism reminds us of the sacredness of water and we must respect and heal seas, beaches and all local aquifers with their teeming life. Preparation for Confirmation could include a commitment to consume sustainably and locally, to share transport, to restore ruined local habitats. We should use local organic bread and wine at our Eucharists - "bread which Earth has given and human hands have made" and "fruit of the vine and work of human hands." Penitential prayers should include personal and structural ecological sin. Liturgies should be Earth-inclusive. He had a passion for fruit trees and in the past year inspired the planting of 24 apple and pear trees, in church grounds, schools and individual gardens. In his view, "this beautiful practice symbolises that Christians are water and tree people, an Earth-renewing presence wherever they live and worship".

I picture Edward in the Holy Land's Garden of Gethsemane, which he visited several times before giving up air travel, where he "was moved by the biodiversity and the sheep grazing peacefully there with birds resting on their back."

Dr Edward P Echlin was Chair Emeritus of Catholic Concern for Animals, Honorary Research Fellow in Theology, University College of Trinity & All Saints, Leeds and Visiting Scholar at Sarum College, Salisbury. He was a member of Green Christian, Garden Organic, Soil Association and other environmental NGOs. He died on 23 December. His funeral is at 12.30pm on Wednesday 15 January - which would have been his 90th birthday. The funeral Mass is at his local church, St Martha's RC Church, Cooden Sea Road, Bexhill. He will be buried in Bexhill Cemetery, and his grave will be located in a beautiful part of the cemetery with countryside around, and the South Downs and Beachy Head visible in the distance.

Tribute to Dr Edward P Echlin, a friend of the Earth - Independent Catholic News

By Express News Service

As we usher into a new year, the trends in dining out will witness changes. Giving us an overview of what can be expected is Prem K Pogakula, Executive Chef, The Imperial New Delhi.

When it comes to new trends in dining out, customers are switching over to healthy and natural food (pesticide-free) more than ever.

People are always on the lookout for wellness alternatives in their food, says chef Pogakula, who believes that starting 2020, preference for GMO-free ingredients will increase.

Also, with the urban lifestyle evading our way of eating, I think one-pot meals are something to look forward to and are surely the next big thing. With time crunch and both the partners working in a nuclear family scenario, one-pot meals are super easy, highly nutritious with adequate protein and starch content and are perfect for a quick meal. You can also call it as urban cooking.

Chef Pogakula believes that 2020 is going to be quite challenging for chefs because of new FSSAI regulations, imposing a lot of restrictions on imported ingredients.

Owing to that, most chefs will have to curate a menu with the locally available ingredients because sourcing imported essentials or a brand will become increasingly difficult. We have to devise a way to look out for local ingredients because they are consistently available and are tremendous in flavours too.

Chefs are also working with emotional food along with childhood or regional memories.Food memories specifically offer a magical feeling, transporting you back in time through food.

Chefs are taking this concept quite seriously now and are researching hard to bring back flavours for their personal kitchens for one to feel truly nostalgic I also believe lost tribal recipes are in the process of being explored to a great extent, he says.

Discovering new cuisines Food connoisseurs are always on the lookout for old and global recipes as they possess simple and straight flavours.

People prefer classic recipes them over fusion cuisine. Only experimented cuisine calls for fusion food on your palate. It can never ever replace or take over the classic cuisine.The signature old and often lost cooking techniques are of great significance as well.

For instance the cooking process in one of the tribes of Rajasthan where they made pits in the ground and cooked their meat was an intrinsic cooking method which is still prevalent in the state.

So, according to chef Pogakula, 2020 will see the revival of such old classic cooking techniques and recipes with presentation inspired from the bygone era.

Marijuana edibles As more and more countries start to legalise marijuana, the opportunity to experiment with this secret ingredient with its numerous many medicinal benefits, increases. Its perhaps the most interesting new ingredient in the market to appear in coming years, with chef are working on new found ways of cooking with cannabis, he concludes.

High Cost of Organic Pea Protein Isolates to Hamper the Growth

The cost of the plant-based protein is one of the factors considered by consumers while purchasing animal-free or dairy-free protein products. Concerns have been raised by consumers on the high price of organic pea protein isolates as compared to dairy-based or conventional protein sources. Although organic pea protein isolates have better nutritional profile and is beneficial for people with allergies and food sensitivity, organic products are expensive as compared to conventional counterparts.

With pea protein shifting from the fitness product to mainstream, consumers are demanding better tasting product Moreover, addressing new grades of pea protein and improving taste are the two biggest challenge for food producers in the organic pea protein isolates market.

FILE - In this May 20, 2013 file photo, graduates pose for photographs during commencement at Yale ... [+] University in New Haven, Conn. There's still plenty of pomp and circumstance, inspiring words from lofty speakers and tossing tassels, but today's college graduation ceremonies include many a contemporary twist. In 1984, according to some estimates, only half of graduates had debt from college loans, averaging about $2,000. Now, two-thirds of recent bachelor's degree recipients have outstanding student loans, with an average debt of about $27,000, according to a Pew Research Center report. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill, File)

As 2020 dawns, here a few items from education, higher education and education technology that are moving, and moving enough to develop into trends for next year and beyond. It is less a prediction list than a dont be too surprised if list.

Less Transparency in LMS

Investors and shareholders are negotiating a proposed sale of Canvas, the market leader in learning management systems (LMS) the integrated online platforms that manage classroom and college activities for teachers, students and administrators. A private equity interest wants to take over the public company, making it private.

If that sale happens, the top three LMS companies, controlling 80% of the multi-billion dollar market, will be private. Blackboard, the second-leading provider with about 31% share, went from public to private when it was bought by an equity fund in 2011.

Since these investment houses arent dumb the proposed Canvas sale is reportedly worth $2 billion we can assume theres profit to be made in the LMS game. And since private investors disclose less than public ones, schools, especially public and non-profit schools, will have to decide how comfortable they are feeding an increasingly murky, speculative market. So, dont be surprised if college boards and presidents start asking more questions about these private investors and start shifting to more open source options or move to cut out the middleman entirely and launch their own, proprietary LMS systems.

Campus Tech Will Get Even More Creepy

This year, we started to see stories about what campus education technology can do track were on campus students are or are not, for example. And thats just the start.

Systems exist already that can track where a student is on campus and alert them, and school leaders, if theyre spending too much time in the cafeteria, for example. Connected campus tech can and will try to remind students to review specific materials while theyre already in the library or give them turn by turn directions to the four of their classmates congregating in a study room.

Existing systems can also scan the faces of students while theyre in class, assess their eye movements and alert the teacher when a student is losing interest, producing engagement scores for both students and teachers.

If they dont already, schools will soon know how much a student studied, where, with whom and how much they paid attention in class. Information like that can help schools prevent falling behind, dropouts and more serious consequences. So, dont be surprised if tech companies convince some schools to quietly pilot these technologies, raising fierce objections from just about everyone or so we should hope.

The Beginning of the End of For-Profits

Its been a bad year for for-profit colleges. More high-profile closures, more fines and settlements for fraud, continued bad outcomes and accelerating, deep declines in enrollments. In that climate, several for-profits sought exits. But those exits havent been clear.

For-profit Kaplan University sold itself to public Purdue University for one dollar and a healthy management deal. But the early returns show the venture losing money, likely poisoning the well for similar public or non-profit buyouts, even for a dollar.

Other for-profits have tried to convince the IRS they are actually non-profit schools by selling the school to a non-profit company they own, then hiring themselves to manage the school. But recently, the Department of Education ruled that was not going to work and ordered one school to stop calling itself a non-profit. So that cynical exit is cluttered too.

With dwindling exit options, continued bad press and a drag on online education, 2020 looks dark and dank for the for-profits. With a presidential election that could replace Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, the patron saint of for-profit colleges, 2021 and beyond could be even worse. So, dont be surprised if the remaining for-profit colleges simply wind down or radically shift their business models to lightly regulated overseas education or workforce training and get out of the accredited degree market altogether.

Online Education Limits

Colleges have been living on online education milking it for profit margins to pay their bills and using it eek out enrollment growth in an otherwise flat or falling pool of perspective students. And while online learning is still growing, its slowing down. Online enrollment growth is below 2% annually now.

Added to slowing growth is that online students are increasingly taking online programs from schools closer and closer to home. In 2019, 67% of online college students enroll at schools within 50 miles of their residence, that number was 44% in 2012. That localization means a school with online programs based in New Mexico, as an example, is increasingly less likely to attract students from elsewhere, but more likely to get their local share.

Third, and related, the number of adult learners going to school continues to slide. Enrollments by students older than 24 were down nearly 3% in 2019 and its been in decline since 2011. Since older students tend to favor online learning settings that fit their life and career demands, fewer of them means fewer potential online students.

So, dont be surprised if online programs start to lose their luster as growth engines for schools. They probably wont fade just yet but the slow down, declining pool and increased local competition may reduce their investment appeal, slowing them down even further.

Coding/Tech Skill Models Go to College

It was not too long ago that coding and software bootcamps the short, highly intensive learn-to-code technology programs were the rage of education, the new model for fast, career-ready education. They sprang up like weeds. Many have closed, pivoted or are still searching for funding formulae that work.

That does not mean the education is bad, the model of a stand-alone, for-profit coding camp was. This year, new models emerged. For example, MakeSchool, which started as a college replacement because computer science degrees didnt teach many skills relevant to their careers, has now partnered with an accredited college to offer a Bachelors Degree in computer science.

Thats not a failure, thats smart because colleges have valuable things coding camps never did alternative revenue streams, existing students, community credibility, brand awareness and rent-free teaching space. And coding camps had an up-to-date sexiness that colleges were thought to lack. So, dont be surprised if bootcamps continue to diminish as colleges completely co-opt their programs through partnerships or white label providers like GreenFig.

Those trends feel like safe bets for 2020 but, obviously, no one knows. Less safe bets but still plausible developments for 2020 include the major college cheating scandal-in-waiting and more states moving to make college free. Implausible ones, like the public realizing that student debt is not a crisis, seem too far-fetched to even imagine. But by any neutral definition, 2019 we a very eventful year in education, 2020 looks to be no different.

photo-release

Duluth, GA, Jan. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI), an online child care training provider dedicated exclusively to the early care and education workforce, offersCUR125: Loose Parts: Incorporating Found Objects and Open-Ended Materials into the Classroom as a no-cost trial course to new CCEI users January 1-31, 2020.

AccordingtoLisaDalyandMiriamBeloglovsky,authorsofthebookLoose Parts: Inspiring Play in Young Children, loose partsarealluring, beautiful, found objects and materials that children can move, manipulate, control, and change while they play. Hereareafewadditionalfeaturesoflooseparts:

Open-ended loose parts, such as items from nature, have multiple outcomes. They can become anything the child wants them to be. Loose parts can be combined with traditional learning materials to promote a wide variety of developmental skills. The versatility of loose parts provides children with endless ways to create. Combining loose part materials will expand the learning possibilities of these experiences.

Theuseofloosepartscansupportchildrenintheirphysical development both in large motor skills (the way they use their arms and legs) and fine motor skills (hands and fingers). Teachers can help children progress in these skills by giving them plentiful opportunities to use different equipment and materials. Providing materials that require a child to practice their pincer grasp or adding tree stumps to your outside area gives children a chance to explore new materials and build on physical skills.

Children prefer materials that give them the opportunity to be creative, be curious and be independent. One of the most effective ways to encourage this is to incorporate materials in your classroom that support children's natural curiosity. In this course, participants will explore theory, implementation and ways to include loose parts into their curriculum in developmentally appropriate ways. After this course, participants will have the tools and strategies to embark on their own loose parts journey that will benefit children's learning on all levels.

ECE professionals will benefit from the content of this course as they deepen their understanding of the benefits of loose parts exploration in early learning environments, says Maria C. Taylor, President and CEO of CCEI. By implementing loose parts exploration in the classroom, teachers will be adding another curriculum and child engagement strategy to their practice. Children will also benefit from these open ended experiences as they strengthen their creativity, problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities.

CUR125: Loose Parts: Incorporating Found Objects and Open-Ended Materials into the Classroom to is a two-hour, intermediate-level course and grants 0.2 IACET CEU upon successful completion. Current CCEI users with active, unlimited annual subscriptions can register for professional development courses at no additional cost when logged in to their CCEI account.

You can wager on anything in Las Vegas. Well, almost. I have yet to see the over/under on whether the State Board of Education will pass the next LCAP revision. Thats why I created my own currency, the Fenster redeemable in EdSource swag if we open an online store. For now, Fensters are only worth bragging rights on my annual predictions column.

A year ago, I invited you to fill out your own bet sheet. Its time to bring it out of the safe deposit box and look to the end of the column for how you did.

Meanwhile, lets get to work on 2020. The prediction scale ranges from 1 to 5 Fensters, with 1meaning no chance and 5 meaning highly likely.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is feeling the big squeeze. Grassroots community groups, unions like the California Teachers Association, and city and school officials are pressing him to back their initiative, Schools and Communities First, which likely will qualify for the November ballot. The split-roll initiative would amend Proposition 13s property tax restrictions to increase taxes on commercial and business properties but not on homeowners. About 40 percent of the $12 billion it would generate would go to K-12 and community colleges.

Newsom has acknowledged that K-12 and early ed need more money. Hes for overall tax reform, too. But hes been silent about this initiative, which is polling with under 50 percent support among California voters.

Some possibilities.

The dodge: Hell avoid making a decision.

Likelihood that Newsom will put index fingers to ears and say Next question when asked about it:

The compromise: Some education advocates are calling on Newsom to cut a deal with the Legislature and Prop. 13 reformers to put a different tax plan on the ballot. It will take arduous work to get an agreement.

Likelihood that Newsom will try and succeed in putting an alternative tax on the ballot:

The delay: The California School Boards Association is vowing to put an income tax increase on the 2022 ballot. Newsom could say hell build a consensus for tax reform then, coinciding with his re-election campaign, assuming he chooses to run again.

Likelihood hell say 2022 will be the year for a new tax:

A reluctant yes: This is not mutually exclusive to the delay. And he wont be blamed if the split-roll initiative loses.

Likelihood Newsom will support the split roll but not campaign for it:

There is a tax increase that Newsom is behind, a $15 billion school construction bond to benefit K-12, community colleges, California State University and University of California on the March 3 ballot. Newsom negotiated the terms, which will target more state aid to rural and low-wealth districts, and it will appear as Prop. 13 by quirk of circumstance. Though also flagging in the latest poll, prospects will brighten with the support of Newsom and key business groups.

Likelihood that the construction bond will pass:

With worries about a recession this year dimming, Newsom should have several billion more in Proposition 98 funding for K-12 and community colleges. Last year, he committed nearly all ongoing increases to the Local Control Funding Formula. He then used one-time General Fund spending to provide billions in short-term pension cost relief and invest in early education. Education advocates applauded.

Likelihood that Newsom will reprise last years hits, with at least an additional billion in short-term pension help and tens of millions in increases for child-care and preschool funding:

Likelihood that Newsom will provide hundreds of millions of additional money for special education:

Likelihood that Newsom will funnel significant money to improve the teaching of math and science. This is more of a hope than a prediction, but continuing stagnant test scores and vast achievement gaps, despite the promise of new math standards, demand state attention. I dont know the form it will take and Newsom wont call it categorical funding but it will (or should) happen in the May revision:

Last year, there were high-profile strikes in Los Angeles and Oakland, with a wildcat strike in Sacramento. No big-district walkouts are on the horizon, but tensions are high in many of the states nearly 1,000 school districts. Striking teachers will reinforce the CTAs call for more education funding.

Likelihood of five or more teacher strikes this year:

In an audit last fall, State Auditor Elaine Howle criticized school districts for either not clearly accounting for or misusing state funding targeted for low-income, foster and English learner students. She called for significantly tighter rules for spending and transparency under the Local Control Funding Formula.

Likelihood that Newsom will negotiate a bill to make it significantly easier to track and compare districts supplemental and concentration spending for high-needs students:

In 2019, Newsom negotiated a rewrite of the charter school law that will give school districts more power to reject charter schools without eviscerating the sector, as charter school backers feared. The compromise quieted the charter war in Sacramento, but like the celebrated but short-lived Christmas Truce of 1914, it will ferociously resume on the local front, in battles over the election of school boards and county board of education trustees. As usual, all eyes will be on Los Angeles Unified.

Likelihood that teachers unions and charter school donors will spend record amounts on school board elections in 2020:

Within the next few months, a faculty committee will recommend whether the University of California should stop requiring applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores. Opponents of the college admissions tests, like UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ, argue they compound the difficulties that low-income, African-American and Hispanic applicants face in getting into UC.

Likelihood that UC will drop the requirement and study whether the states Smarter Balanced tests can be used as an admissions factor instead:

Early this year, the California State University trustees will decide whether to require applicants to have taken an additional, fourth year of math or a course using quantitative skills, like a lab or computer science. Strong opposition remains, despite plan revisions that would push back the implementation date, exempt high schools that dont offer enough courses and permit less rigorous courses like personal finance.

Likelihood that CSU will adopt the proposal:

Task forces and studies for years have called for reforming Californias complicated system of serving students with disabilities. Newsom took initial steps last year, funding preschool special ed and college grants for special ed teachers. This year, hell announce a multi-year effort to fully remake the system.

Likelihood that special education will be Newsoms top K-12 priority this year:

Who will win Californias presidential primary March 3? It could easily be Pete Sanders, Joe Yang or Elizabeth Klobuchar. In other words, I have no idea. Nonetheless, likelihood that Biden will edge out Warren:

Heres the score for 2019: The late George Steinbrenner, owner of the New York Yankees, once said, Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing.

Excuse me while I puff out my chest: By my own low expectations, I did great in 2019.

Predictions were rated on the familiar scale of 1 to 5 Fensters.

Charter schools

As predicted, it was a momentous year, with a full rewrite of the states charter school law.

Likelihood that open meetings, public records and conflict of interest requirements will pass (an easy bet).

Likelihood the Legislature would curb the right of charter schools to appeal a charter denial. (Wrong: The ability to appeal to county offices of education was preserved.)

Likelihood the Legislature would eliminate additional appeals to the state board. (Not eliminated but significantly pared back.)

Likelihood that either a moratorium on charter schools or a bill allowing a district to weigh the potential financial impact of charter schools would pass. (Yes: A big win for teachers unions and school districts)

Teachers strikes

Likelihood that Los Angeles Unified and United Teachers Los Angeles would settle before a scheduled strike on Jan. 10. (Easy call; they didnt.)

Likelihood a strike in L.A. Unified would last until the Martin Luther King holiday on Jan. 21. (On the money; they settled a day later)

Likelihood that teachers in a half-dozen or more districts in California also would strike this year. (By our count, L.A. Unified, Oakland Unified, New Haven Unified, West Sonoma County Union High School District and a short wildcat strike in Sacramento City Unified make five.)

School construction

Likelihood of a pre-K to community college construction bond on the 2020 ballot. (Right: Prop. 13 will be on March ballot with CSU, UC thrown in.)

Likelihood the bond will include significant revisions in the state allocation system. (Wrong: Gov. Newsom demanded and got the changes.)

11th-grade testing

Likelihood Gov. Newsom would sign a bill allowing SAT or ACT in place of state Smarter Balanced tests (Wrong: He vetoed it.)

Public Pensions

Likelihood that the California Supreme Court would chip away at grandfathered pension benefits for current workers. (Court skirted the issue in a narrow decision.)

School funding

Likelihood that Newsom will allocate only the minimum amount of funding for K-12 and community colleges under Proposition 98 (Wrong: He went beyond the minimum with more than $3 billion for pension relief and scholarships for new teachers in high-demand subjects.)

Higher taxes

Likelihood that education groups and sponsors of an initiative to raise property taxes on business and commercial properties would negotiate a measure for the 2020 ballot. (It didnt happen in 2019 but its still possible in early 2020 see new predictions.)

Universal preschool

Likelihood that Newsom would lay out a multi-year plan for state-subsidized preschool for all low-income children. (Close enough: funding for 10,000 more slots and money for a master plan.)

Movement on data

Likelihood that in 2019, Newsom and legislative leaders create a timeline and a plan for a statewide data system. (Yes, they did.)

Free community college tuition

Likelihood that Newsom would include enough funding to provide a second year of free tuition to community colleges. (Basically, yes, for taking a full course load.)

Exit Betsy DeVos

Likelihood that DeVos will quit in 2019. (Often belittled in the press, largely ignored by the president, she persists.)

China Online Education Group (NYSE:COE) vs. Learning Tree International (NYSE:LTRE) Head to Head Comparison - Riverton Roll

The Sioux nickname was retired in 2012 after a decades-long fight over the name.

The nickname change was a defining part of the decade for UND, a part of an era filled with change and some contention.

By the time June 2012 came and went North Dakotans voted that it was time to move on from the Fighting Sioux name and onto something new. It wouldnt be the end of the fight, though.

In July 2015, a committee tasked with finding UNDs next nickname eliminated the option for the school to play without a nickname. The decision sparked ire and drew protests. Former UND President Robert Kelley said he would reconsider the decision amid public uproar but, ultimately, didn't include it in the vote.

Later that year the five names -- the Fighting Hawks, Nodaks, North Stars, Roughriders and Sundogs -- were put out for a vote, with Fighting Hawks ultimately winning and a new logo being unveiled in June 2016.

But the transition hasnt been easy.

The nickname change was painful for many on campus and continues to be a sore spot for some donors, UND Alumni Association & Foundation CEO DeAnna Carlson Zink said in a recent interview reflecting on the decade.

Thoughts on the topic are wide and varying, she said, noting she doesnt want to speak for all alumni on the subject.

I think weve come quite a good way, she said. We have some alumni who have embraced the new name fully and some that probably never will embrace it. Then we have those in between that understand why we are where we are and yet love the history of the Fighting Sioux nickname.

Carlson Zink said, as the foundations development officers are out on the road, they dont hear as much about the nickname change as they did a few years ago, but theyre always open to having the discussion, if need be.

Its not a s big of a topic as it was at the start of the decade, she said. Its really kind of quieted down.

Mark Kennedy era lasts just three years: Former UND President Mark Kennedys time came and went quickly for the university. Kennedy, who began the position on July 1, 2016, had a tenure filled with controversy and some success. The former president dealt with severe budget cuts during his first legislative session in 2017. Later that year he would also help introduce a new strategic plan for the university, which it continues to use even after his departure earlier this spring.

Kennedy is now the president of the University of Colorado system.

Kennedy was a polarizing figure for many in the community. High-profile donor Kris Engelstad McGarry, trustee of the Engelstad Family Foundation, publicly stated the Engelstad Foundation would not give any direct funds to the university so long as Kennedy was president. The two had a public feud in 2018. Others, meanwhile, praised him for his work on UNDs strategic plan.

Masses of faculty removed amid budget cuts: Amid declining state revenues, UND saw significant cuts during the past decade.

Between 2014 and 2017, the university had shed about 600 workers, the Herald reported in 2017.

Falling state revenues ahead of the 2017 legislative session led to a systemwide cut of about $212 million for the 2017-19 biennium -- a 25% drop in appropriated dollars from an adjusted total of general fund spending through the previous two-year budget period.

UND's portion was about $32 million, a cut that led to an across-campus budget contraction of 12%.

UND institutes new strategic plan: UND added a new strategic plan in 2017. The five-year, UND plan will help steer the university over the next few years.

The goals include providing a strong undergraduate liberal arts foundation, increasing graduation and retention rates, delivering a variety of enrollment opportunities for students, becoming a high-level research institution, becoming more inclusive, meeting the educational needs for veterans and military personnel and engaging alumni.

UND cuts womens hockey, swimming programs: In March 2017, amid a sizable drop in state funding, UND cut its womens hockey program and its mens and womens swimming and diving teams.

"This was a difficult decision," former UND Athletic Director Brian Faison said at the time. "It's a sad day when opportunities for our student-athletes are reduced. The university is going through campus-wide, state-mandated budget cuts. As a part of the university, we needed to do what is in the long-term, best interests of the university, as well as the best interests of the athletic department."

The elimination of the womens hockey program sent shock waves through the region, the Herald reported.

UND had a dozen Olympians in the teams history, including prominent Grand Forks natives and twin sisters Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux.

A discrimination lawsuit about the elimination of the womens hockey program was filed against the North Dakota University System in 2018 and dismissed in 2019.

Enrollment hits an all-time high, then drops: Enrollment hit an all-time high at UND in 2012 with more than 15,200 students. Since then, enrollment has been declining slightly, following a nationwide trend.

UNDs fall 2019 enrollment was about 13,580, which is down from fall 2018.

Meloney Linder, UND vice president for marketing and communications, previously told the Herald that the university was not surprised by the slight drop in enrollment. Two years ago the university changed the number of required credits for students to take, from 125 to 120. Linder said university officials knew that would impact the number of enrolled students at UND and had budgeted for the change.

Online enrollment climbs: While on-campus enrollment has taken a hit over the past few years, UND is doing well in its online enrollment.

Online enrollment has changed the higher education landscape, Jeff Holm, UNDs vice provost for online education and strategic planning, said in a Herald interview in June 2019.

No longer can you be content to compete for students and draw students and attract students from your local region, Holm said.

UND leads the region for online-exclusive students with more than 3,500 students enrolled in online-only courses throughout the country. Thousands of on-campus students are also taking online classes.

Campus construction: In an effort to reduce the universitys deferred maintenance mountain, several campus buildings have been torn down in the past decade.

UNDs long-standing student union was torn down in 2019. Students voted near the end of 2018 to build a new $80 million Memorial Union.

Much of University Avenue also was rebuilt in 2019 with new crosswalks and other areas being constructed

Additionally, the university, thanks to help from the North Dakota Legislature, built a new School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

A rendering, provided by UND, illustrates what the new Memorial Union would look like.

Fundraising hits an all-time high: Donations to the UND Alumni Association & Foundation reached an all-time high in 2019, amid much change and controversy at the university.

The foundation raised $67.7 million at the end of the 2019 fiscal year.

The record is nearly twice the amount brought in the previous year. The previous record was $49.9 million set in fiscal year 2011.

Of that money, $20 million was donated by Werner and Colleen Nistler for a new business school.

The couple donated the lead gift of $20 million toward the construction of the new building on the UND campus. The project is estimated to cost $70 million. The North Dakota Legislature earlier this year voted to match the Nistlers' $20 million donation if the university was able to raise the additional money.

Werner Nistler earned an accounting degree from UND in 1968. He is founder and chairman of Touchmark, which owns 14 full-service senior living communities in 10 states and one Canadian province. Colleen Nistler is the vice chairperson. The company is based in Oregon. The couple live in the Portland area.

New UND president Andrew Armacost named: With the departure of Kennedy in the spring of 2019, it was time for the State Board of Higher Education to find the next president of the university.

The State Board of Higher Education chose Andrew Armacost on Tuesday, Dec. 3.

Armacost, former dean of the faculty at the U.S. Air Force Academy, will be the 13th leader of the university.

Nick Hacker, chair of the State Board of Higher Education, selected Armacost because of his deep passion for service and love for students.

As you listened and read about him (you learned he) is someone who is a real, true servant leader, Hacker said. I really look forward to seeing his leadership style here.

The boards decision was praised across campus.

Armacost will begin his duties on June 1. His annual salary is $369,800.

Summary

Indian online education market

Online education or e-learning refers to a learning system based primarily on formalised teaching with the help of electronic resources such as computers and internet services. Improvement in internet connectivity and digitization are facilitating the growth of the online education market in India. This type of education is delivered in various ways, which include online courses, massive open online courses (MOOCs), hybrid or blended courses and certification courses among others.

Corporate tie-ups help in the co-creation of industry certified content, which has helped to increase the acceptance of online education among the target user base. Currently, students and professionals (especially IT) are the chief patrons taking up various online education courses. Improved internet connectivity and digital payment options, coupled with the introduction of new learning methodologies such as blended learning and flipped learning is driving the growth of the online education market in India.

Market segmentation

The online education market in India is segmented by category into primary and secondary supplemental education, test preparation, reskilling and online certifications, higher education, and language and casual learning. Test preparation market is expected to be the largest growing segment due to the increase in the number of students opting for competitive exams such as engineering medical exams, and also due to rise in the number of exams for working professionals such as bank probationary officer (PO), union public service commission (UPSC), common admission test (CAT) and graduate management admission test (GMAT) among others. It is segmented by type into vocational education, learning management system (LMS) and virtual schools.

Key growth factors

Lower infrastructure cost coupled with larger student base leverages economies of scale and lower cost. Online skill enhancement courses are far cheaper than offline alternatives, due to the availability of several free courses. (MOOCs) provide free online courses to different universities, such as Harvard University, Berkeley University of California, Boston University and so on, on key subjects such as computer science, data science, business and management, which are available for anyone to enrol themselves

Increase in disposable income is egging the young population to enhance their skills for higher growth. The young population with high aspirations but lower income is a good target market for online education. Further, the acceptability of online channels is also higher in the younger demographic

Threats and key players

Familiarity with offline education system poses a major barrier for online education. Online education is still considered a second class citizen in the education system, and thus, its recognition is limited to institutions of service. Limited availability of internet in remote locations act as a barrier to growth

The Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, Think & Learn Private Limited, Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning, Tamil Virtual Academy, Medvarsity Online Limited, Vedantu Innovations Private Limited, AEON Learning Private Limited, are some of the major players operating in the online education market in India
