(…) Languages have always died. As cultures have risen and fallen, so their languages have emerged and disappeared. We can get some sense of it following the appearance of written language, for we now have records (in various forms – inscriptions, clay tablets, documents) of dozens of extinct languages from classical times – Bithynian, Cilician, Pisidian, Phrygian, Paphlagonian, Etruscan, Sumerian, Elamite, Hittite... We know of some 75 extinct languages which have been spoken in Europe and Asia Minor. But the extinct languages of which we have some historical record in this part of the world must be only a fraction of those for which we have nothing. And when we extend our coverage to the whole world, where written records of ancient languages are largely absent, it is easy to see that no sensible estimate can be obtained about the rate at which languages have died in the past. We can of course make guesses at the size of the population in previous eras, and the likely size of communities, and (on the assumption that each community would have had its own language) work out possible numbers of languages.(...)

The smaller boys were known by the generic title of "Iittluns". The decrease in size, from Ralph down, was gradual; and though there was a dubious region inhabited by Simon and Robert and Maurice, nevertheless no one had any difficulty in recognizing biguns at one end and littluns at the other. The undoubted littluns, those aged about six, led a quite distinct, and at the same time intense, life of their own. They ate most of the day, picking fruit where they could reach it and not particular about ripeness and quality. They were used now to stomach-aches and a sort of chronic diarrhoea. They suffered untold terrors in the dark and huddled together for comfort. Apart from food and sleep, they found time for play, aimless and trivial, among the white sand by the bright water. They cried for their mothers much less often than might have been expected; they were very brown, and filthily dirty. They obeyed the summons of the conch, partly because Ralph blew it, and he was big enough to be a link with the adult world of authority; and partly because they enjoyed the entertainment of the assemblies. But otherwise they seldom bothered with the biguns and their passionately emotional and corporate life was their own.

They had built castles in the sand at the bar of the little river. These castles were about one foot high and were decorated with shells, withered flowers, and interesting stones. Round the castles was a complex of marks, tracks, walls, railway lines, that were of significance only if inspected with the eye at beach-level. The littluns played here, if not happily at least with absorbed attention; and often as many as three of them would play the same game together.

A questão refere-se ao seguinte trecho, extraído de uma entrevista:

Hywel Rhys Thomas, 56, is an authority on Education. Holder of a PhD in Education from the University of Birmingham, he has worked as a lecturer, administrator and researcher in Europe and as a consultant in Africa and South America. Last September he took part in "Education and Science as Strategies for National Development", an international seminar held in Brasilia organised by UNESCO and the Brazilian Ministry of Education. Dr.Thomas, who participated as a guest of the British Council, discussed his ideas with Link UK:

(I)

Link: .......................................................................

H. R. Thomas: Over the last 15 years, the United Kingdom has been a place where major!$ ^{A)} !$ reforms have been introduced into almost all parts of the education system. It has become a 'natural laboratory', where different methods have been employed!$ ^{B)} !$. We have gone from a system with very great professional autonomy to one where there is much more direction. My presentation explored the issue!$ ^{C)} !$ of balance between autonomy and control.

Link: What is the greatest challenge for Education in a country like Brazil?

H. R. Thomas: Clearly, sufficient resources are a major!$ ^{A)} !$ challenge. It is also important to move towards more active learning. The leading economies of the 21!$ ^{st} !$ century will be ones where people are lifelong learners and the only way in which you become a lifelong learner is to learn how to learn. This must mean moving away!$ ^{D)} !$ from passive acquisition of knowledge to a model where there is more emphasis on analytical and critical skills!$ ^{E)} !$.

The five topics discussed here are of interest both for specialists in these fields, and for anyone who would like to get an overview of the University's problems today. A circumstantial change in the event's order of issues showed us how strongly they are all linked together, something which will now allow the reader to go through the book according to his personal preferences.

Rather than proposing conclusive answers to all these problems, the papers and debates here gathered intend to stimulate reflections about the roles and possibilities of the University.
