We are committed to taking the further steps necessary.”
4 ____ Monetary policy that stabilizes inflation “can produce long-term, noninflationary economic expansions ... that economic history suggests is an ideal framework or environment for inclusive growth,” Jefferson said. “So, it is important that we get back to that kind of economy.

Impacts of new age technology

Thanks to AI, it is possible to conduct real-time data analysis from a large volume of data sets and provide customized solutions to banking customers.New age technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have radically transformed the way banking works today.

2 ____ With powerful AI tools, banks can make informed decisions faster by using predictive analysis, which is the central point of AI and ML. As soon as a potential customer searches for something online, the AI tools pick it up and serve related content that leads to quick sales. This improves customer service tremendously as customers find tailor-made solutions without much human intervention.
3 ____ Banks’ lending processes have also improved considerably as they can analyze customers’ spending patterns, study different customer data points, and determine borrowers’ credit conditions. So, there is much less paperwork.Banks’ lending processes have also improved considerably as they can analyze customers’ spending patterns, study different customer data points, and determine borrowers’ credit conditions.

4 ____ Customer-centric banking has become indispensable with the introduction of different kinds of software that utilize Natural Language Processing (NLP) to read, process and understand text and speech. Banks have successfully installed digital tools to answer customer questions, which has helped them reduce the time and effort of human capital and provide quick and consistent service. Using those resources, banks are expected to save \$7.3 billion in operational costs.Customer-centric banking has become indispensable with the introduction of different kinds of software that utilize Natural Language Processing (NLP) to read, process and understand text and speech.

Their expectations from their banks to provide an omni-digital experience have enabled the shift, allowing them to fulfil their banking needs sitting from a remote location. Appropriately, banks quickly jumped onto the digitalization movement and refreshed their services in line with their requirements.
6 ____ Mobile banking, for example, is very popular among millennials. An Insider Intelligence’s Mobile Banking Competitive Edge study indicated that a surprising 97% of them use mobile banking! Transferring funds, checking their transactions online, downloading their account statements or even applying for a loan is possible through a click of fingers on their mobile phones. This has also eliminated the need for physical branches, enabling banks to operate in a lean manner and cut unnecessary costs.Mobile banking, for example, is very popular among millennials.

Banks have modernized their processes and broken the barriers between the different entities involved, such as branches, ATMs, and online banking, to create a continuous flow for their customers.
8 ____The changing customer profile inclines towards bringing both physical and digital worlds closer, and this is influencing the finance and banking sector favorably. Banks give attention to this need for digitalization to retain their customers in the long run.
9 ____ The pandemic of Covid-19 helped the banking industry to depend heavily on digital technology and tech-enabled systems to stay alive. The result of the pandemic, however, resulted in new beginnings in the form of huge digital transformation and newer business models for the banks.The pandemic of Covid-19 helped the banking industry to depend heavily on digital technology and tech-enabled systems to stay alive.

Pre-primary school years is fun – serious fun. Music, storytelling, movement, outdoor play, role play and drama give children basic literacy, numeracy and problem-solving skills. These are the building blocks of a child’s education that put them on the right track for a life of learning. Children who do not have the chance to start their education early are put at a serious disadvantage before they even start school. One recent UNESCO study showed that students who attended some form of organised early childhood education in 13 African countries scored 66 points higher in reading, on average, than those who did not.
The only way we can move forward is to share lessons between countries on what works. We did just this in our latest report, assessing what the policies were that had enabled countries to achieve fast progress. Recommendations emerged from comprehensive analyses of the issue and they all related to the cost barriers to access.
It is important to legislate and offer free and compulsory pre-primary education. But only about half of the countries in the world have done this so far. While one policy change cannot be assessed out of context, there is a clear jump in children’s early education access across countries that put such legislation in place.
While there is no magic wand to overcome all educational challenges, there are clear lessons we can draw from looking at existing policies. Education can and should start early. If they legislate, regulate and finance appropriately, countries can certainly reach their early education goals.

TEXTO:
The Importance of Four Skills
Any language is difficult and easy. Language serves many purposes.Absence of language is mere dearth of communication. The role that language plays is immense, since time embarked. Identified as the need of the hour, the four necessities in language or commonly known as the four skills- Reading, writing, listening and speaking plays a vital role in any language learning quest… The four skills are the pinnacles of language which will take you to greater heights. They are separate yet bound together with an inseparable bond.
Teachers should set high standards for an ESL classroom. They should work to create the necessary condition for students to learn effectively and reach the desired outcome. For the teaching of English to be successful, the four skills: reading, listening, speaking and writing, should be integrated in an effective way. These skills should be addressed in a way that helps students meet the standards you set for them and develop their communicative competence gradually. This encompasses: Listening and speaking: these two skills are highly interrelated and work simultaneously in real life situations. So, the integration of the two aims at fostering effective oral communication. This integration will assure real-life and purposeful communication. Reading and writing: they form a strong relationship with each other as skills. They are tools for achieving an effective written communication. Students need opportunities to develop their reading and writing skills. Developing students’ competencies in reading and writing requires exposing students to gradually challenging reading materials and writing tasks. The aim is making students read and write effectively.
In fact, the integration of listening and speaking with reading and writing will make learners good listeners, speakers, readers and writers so as to be able to communicate effectively. The mastery of these skills is a gradual process. Teachers, for instance, should expose learners to gradually challenging tasks and material.
When a teacher makes use of activities that have been specially designed to incorporate several language skills simultaneously (such as reading, writing, listening, and writing), they provide their students with situations that allow for well-rounded development and progress in all areas of language learning. Through daily activities, teachers provide learners with opportunities to develop each skill: students listen (to the teacher use the target language, to a song, to one another in a pair activity), speak (pronunciation practice, greetings, dialogue creation or recitation, songs, substitution drills, oral speed reading, role play), read (instructions, written grammar drills, cards for playing games, flashcards) and write (fill-in-the-blank sheets, sentences that describe a feeling, sight or experience, a dialogue script, a journal entry).
Four skills activities in the language classroom serve many valuable purposes: they give learners scaffolded support, opportunities to create, contexts in which to use the language for exchanges of real information, evidence of their own ability (proof of learning) and, most important, confidence.

Interactive Lecture:
Small Changes for Improved Engagement and Learning
Traditionally, undergraduate education has been predominately lecture-based instruction and passive lecturing continues to be the most widely used instructional strategy. However, educational research over the past decades has shown that students retain more course content when active learning techniques are correctly implemented. Furthermore, evidence shows that active learning lessens learning and achievement gaps for historically marginalized students.
One method for starting the shift to active learning is the use of interactive lectures, those that incorporate short activities that give students opportunities to engage with the materials just covered in class. The main advantages of interactive lectures for instructors are the ease of implementation and the variety of activities that can be explored and incorporated into a course. Students benefit through increased engagement, learning, and long-term retention of course ideas, topics, and materials (Ernst and Colthorpe 2007, Revell and Wainwright 2009, Miller et al. 2013, Hadie et al. 2018).
So, how do you create an interactive lecture?
The preparation for an interactive lecture begins with revisiting the student learning objectives. Student learning objectives are key to determining which topics are essential to the course and aids in attending to these ideas, materials, and topics for lectures.
Once you are clear on the learning objective(s), review the topic content to determine which aspects of the lecture are key points or required topics and which can be eliminated or covered using methods such as textbook readings, introductory videos, homework assignments etc.
Finally, determine the smallest units of content that can be given and remain coherent. For each small section of information, reframe the content to answer a question. Use awareness-raising questions for structuring lectures; this will allow many strategies to be employed to increase student engagement through analysis and discussion. You could use one same question and have students brainstorm possible answers in pairs or small groups. The method helps students determine their prior knowledge and has them think critically about the topic.
