Got this announcement in my mail today and I thought I’d share it with you as I know that TOL is an excellent source of news and information about Central Asia and the former Soviet Union:

Transitions (TOL) today launched a new version of Chalkboard, the
website dedicated to news and analysis of education issues in
transitional countries.

We’ve improved the old site with a more modern look and feel, and
have added new features and resources for readers and journalists
alike. Go to http://chalkboard.tol.org to have a look at the new site.

KEY NEW FEATURES

• Highlights of the key obstacles and success stories in education
  reform, from critical thinking skills, to teacher training, corruption
  and curricula development.
• A database of Transitions Online’s articles, covering education in
  Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
• The “Snapshots of Reform” series: overviews of the education
  reform process in 32 countries, from Eastern Europe to Central Asia,
  South East Asia and Africa.
• Resources, tools and information for journalists to help with writing
  engaging news and feature stories on education topics
