Writing is a trade in which every educated man, woman, and child
should be skilled. Writing is a trade, which any one can master if he goes
about it in the right way. It is true that writing skill is often the only
trade of some people like the poets, novelists, newspaper reporters and
editors. These might be called specialists in writing, and writing is their
main occupation and way of making a living. But writing skill is a universal
trade and it is necessary for every person to know it to a certain extent.
Most that
is good in life comes from mens ability to make their fellows share their
thoughts and feelings. But it is not always an easy thing to make others see
how we feel or think. The young child is called an infant, a word that means
unable to speak. Half his miseries arise from his inability to communicate his
notions. Men are but children of a larger growth, and much of their misery results
from inability to tell what they think or feel. In a sense the case is worse
for the man than for the child. The child makes gestures and grimaces to help
his meaning out, but the grown man has to communicate by letters and other
compositions.
Sustainability is now recognized to be a key area of development for
the education sector. In particular, the policy and practice context
points to the need to consider how best to embed it into higher
education learning and teaching strategies and curricula.
The Higher Education Academy is currently undertaking a programme
of development activity and capacity building so as to better assist
institutions and subject communities in their development of curricula
and pedagogy to equip students with the skills and knowledge to live and
work sustainably. This recognizes the importance of increasing
'sustainability literacy' among students and the growing demand for
sustainability skills among employers. Current work includes a baseline
research study to identify existing good practice in the sector.
