Disability and Education in Kenya
Dr Stephen Nzoka – September 2019 Page No.: 01-03
I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this paper contents that disabilities do not necessarily become handicaps when appropriate services are timely secured to reduce the severity of a disability be it behavioral, cognitive, visual or physical Barraga; Shool (1986). To this end, education plays an indispensable role towards this accomplishment.
At the achievement political independence, fifty six years down the line, Kenya recognized education as a basic human right and a powerful tool for human resource of national development. Since then, all policy documents and educational reports in the country have constantly retaliated the importance of education to be the key to eliminate the three social upheavals namely: poverty, disease and illiteracy(African socialist 1965; Abbot, S. & McConkey, R. 2006)
Certainly, it may readily be agreed that this political recognition of education as a basic human right covered all Kenyans, including those with disabilities. Hitherto, however, one wonders how far successful has this fight been for able bodied citizens let alone those with disabilities. How active has the government and the entire community been in championing the educational, social and political participation of persons with disabilities and what role have persons with disabilities themselves played and continue to play with regard to their pertinent and basic human development? Gachathi (1976) observed that nearly all children with disabilities, through education, could be helped to overcome limitations imposed upon them by their disabilities to live happily and constructively with the rest of their counterparts in society (Sessional paper No 1 2005)

Women Empowerment in the Sokoto Caliphate
Tambari Abbas Bashar, Ph.D – September 2019 Page No.: 14-17
I. INTRODUCTION
It is the western world that brought out the concept of empowerment of women. Therefore, those aspects of women empowerment must reflect the ideology of the west. In most cases, women empowerment in the western world is restricted to promotion of material gain through economic (physical) empowerment only. According to the western world, women are to be empowered economically through upgrading and uplifting the standard of living of women, by giving them more economic power to satisfy or attain higher level of satisfaction (utility) in their consumption pattern better than before. This will lead them to consume more and more of what they have been consuming before and even engage in the consumption of they were not consuming in the past. Thus, there is upliftment in the standard of living, getting out of poverty, no matter how little it may be.

Teachers’ Ethical Behaviour: A Panacea for Curbing Corruption in Public Secondary Schools in Rivers State
Balafama Ipalibo-Wokoma, Prof. C. U. Madumere Obike, Dr. S. C. Anyamele – September 2019 Page No.: 18-22
The study examined teachers’ ethical behaviour as a panacea for corruption in public secondary schools in Rivers State. The teacher is a major tool for the achievement of educational goals and objectives. It is glaring that corruption which is the systematic use of public office for personal/private benefit has gone far in educational system. This calls for a professional code of conduct to guide the behavior of the teacher. Therefore teachers’ professional code of ethics are generally intended to guide and regulate the conduct of the teachers, so as to abide by the rules and regulations that were formulated by members in the teaching industry for the improvement of their professional interest and welfare. A teacher as an input operator in the education system who is charged with the responsibility of converting raw materials into finished goods, that is dynamic students must possess the ethical values of the teaching profession in order to reduce the damages of corruption. Therefore the study identified accountability, fairness, efficiency and integrity as ways of managing corruption in secondary education. It further identified some challenges such as: lack of teachers’ professional development. lack of interest in the teaching profession, conflict of interest and teachers addiction to drugs and alcohol was also discussed as challenges. Nevertheless the followings were suggested as the way forward; Government and educational stakeholders should encourage and sponsor teachers’ professional training, teachers’ code of conduct should be made available to all teachers, among others.

Strategies for Marketing Library Services and Information Products in College of Education
Eda Rita, Ukubeyinje, Sandra Ejiro- September 2019 Page No.: 29-33
The nonprofit organization like a library is basically engaged in the production of services rather than goods. Services are unique in nature primarily due to the attributes of being intangible, unbreakable, variable and perishable. Library and information context involves many problems. One of the most valuable things that a good library can give out is a long-term partnership with the people who use library services. Corporate employees nowadays begin to brand themselves as their own personal. Academic librarians can provide the most favorable stereotype by customizing library and data facilities with a long-lasting relationship’s own private touch flavor (brand).

Bilateral Economic Relations between Nigeria and United States: An Appraisal of Petroleum Resources
Abdulkarim Abdullahi – September 2019 Page No.: 34-42
In conducting diplomatic relations between countries, always national interests come first before the table of agreement. Relations where national interest cannot be projected that relation is said to be of no use, since the countries involved in the agreement cannot benefit. In Nigeria-United States relations, both the two countries benefit from one another that is why their relations is still in existence in the apex level. United States in interested in Nigeria’s oil that is the reason that oil companies owned by United States existed in Nigeria. While on the Nigerian side, her citizens are employed, and it raises the demand of Nigerian oil by the United States. Data were gathered using primarily. This paper adopted theory of liberalism (from the intergovernmentalism aspect) which viewed the relations of states in the world from the side of cooperation, so that there will be no escalation of conflicts between or among states in the world. This paper made use of simple percentage in analysing the gathered data. The paper addresses the problem whether petroleum is the major commodity of economic relations between Nigeria and United States; also, it looked at whether Nigerian economy developed because of her relations with United States. From the gathered result, result has shown that there are other variables in the development of Nigeria’s economy and not only because of her relations with United States. Lastly, the paper recommends that; there is need for Nigeria to place focal acquisition of skills, technologies and capital investment, and not to depend on exportation of primary commodities only.

Sustainable Natural Resource Management in Ghana: The Role of Social Studies Education
Isaac Atta Kwenin- September 2019 Page No.: 43-50
The study investigated the role of social studies education in sustainable natural resource management (SNRM) in Ghana. Quantitative data collection and analyses were used. All the 346 Social Studies teachers in the Kumasi Metropolis during the 2017/2018 academic year were included (census) in the study. However, 341 teachers provided usable data for the study. A self-developed questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics with means and standard deviation was used to analyse and present the data. In effect, Social Studies teachers do not possess the requisite competence that would enable them teach concepts of SNRM in Social Studies. Even though most of the topics in the SHS social studies curriculum introduces students to sustainable use of natural resources, the content or body of knowledge and the activities involved are not explicitly linked to the understanding of sustainable natural resource management. It was concluded that in order to ensure the attainment of sustainable natural resource management in Ghana, the integrated approach to teaching social studies should be adopted by teachers when teaching social studies. This will ensure effective combination of knowledge, values, skills and experiences from other subject areas to enhance the realization of sustainable natural resource management objectives of social studies. Also, courses in the Social Studies in the teacher training institutions in Ghana and elsewhere should acquaint teachers with knowledge and experiences in SNRM and provide them with experiences in teaching SNRM. This will equip all Social Studies teachers to be better positioned to promote the management of natural resources in a sustainable manner.

Insurance Policy Integration for Curbing Educational Waste in Public Secondary Schools in Rivers State
Richard ANIETIE, Tessy Lucky UBA, Rita Seimogha Matthew ODOU – September 2019 Page No.: 51-55
The study investigated insurance policy integration for curbing educational waste in Rivers State. To carry out this study, two research questions and one hypothesis were raised to guide the study. A mean, standard, rank order and percentage was used to answer research questions and a null hypothesis wastes at 0.5 of Alpha significant level. Descriptive survey design was adopted and a population of 494 was randomly selected from the secondary schools present in the 23 Local Government Areas of Rivers State, Nigeria, using stratified random sampling technique. A research questionnaire tagged “Educational Insurance Policy Integration Questionnaire (EIPIQ)”, with reliability coefficient of 0.72 obtained through a test-retest was formulated and tested for validity and reliability. The study identified family income insurance, child deferred assurance, school fees policy, long term disability insurance, health insurance policy as the insurance policies that can be integrated to curb educational waste. The study concluded that since education is an investment, it therefore entails that there will be need to find insurance policy that would curb investment waste. Based on the conclusion, the study recommended that all the educational stakeholders and the principals in particular must collaborate with insurance institutions to design insurance policy that would curb educational waste.

Smooth Functioning of Politics and Governance in Ensuring Sustainable Development: Academic and Procedural Review
Md. Nasir Uddin, Muhammad Kawsar Mahmud, Mehedi Hasan – September 2019 Page No.: 56-61
Sustainable development not only meets the needs of the present generation but also sees that of future generations. The United Nations adopted sustainable development goals for the world in 2015 that contains 17 goals with list of targets to achieve. It not only deals with environmental issues, but economic, social and cultural issues as well. Thus, it can be said that sustainable development therefore, have multiple contexts; involve multiple and often diametrically opposed values; demand an unprecedented interface between academic research and public policy; and there is none as sustainable development expertise, but rather a multiplicity of expertise. But the more pragmatic and policy-focused argument about how to put sustainable development into effect has been just in the center stage in contemporary debates in the social sciences. Among other, one of the most important preconditions for sustainable development is the state capacity to form and implement policy across the whole of their territory. A plenty of studies have demonstrated the importance of state capacity. For example, there is a causal link between the quality of public administration and economic growth. However, this paper based on secondary data attempts to define Sustainable development as well as discuss politics and governance in the sustainable development in its theoretical features.

Children’s Usage of Social Networking Sites and Family Relationship
Ying-Leh Ling, Byington Kua Tze Li – September 2019 Page No.: 67-73
The proliferation of social networking sites has changed the instrument people use to communicate with one another. Nowadays, individuals are using social networking sites more than ever to network with friends and family members. At the same time, many studies have been conducted on the use of social networking sites with family relationships. Therefore, researchers want to identify whether there is a need to study both the variables in future studies. Specifically, this research aimed to identify whether there is a significant and positive relationship between children’s usage of social networking sites and family relationship. The research also looked into the relationship between children’s daily usage (hours) of social networking sites with the quantity of time spent and the quality of face-to-face communication with family members. The researcher conducted a study with 40 teachers. The researcher uses structured questionnaire to collect quantitative data pertaining to the research. The analysed data shows that there is no significant relationship between children’s usage of social networking sites and family relationship. Therefore, children’s usage of social networking sites does not affect family relationship. Therefore, as a suggestion to future research, researchers may relate other variables in the in-depth look at the relationship between children’s usage of social networking sites and family relationship.

Role of Hope Family Program (Program Keluarga Harapan) In Improving Management Access to Basic Education Service among Poor Family Children in Indonesia
M. Cholis Hasan, Kusmawan, Ahmad Suryadi, Adi Fahrudin – September 2019 Page No.: 74-84
The poor people and neglected children are cared for by the state, according to the article 34 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution. According to Law Number 13 Year 2011 article 1 point 1 d, The word “poor people” is interpreted as a person who is does not have a source of livelihood and / or has a livelihood but does not have the ability to meet the needs that are appropriate for the life of himself or his family.
PKH is a part of efforts in poverty eradication which was launched firstly through a trial program in 2007, in the era of Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu which was led by President of RI Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, whose targets are Very Poor Households (RTSM) or Very Poor Families (KSM), namely those whose conditions are very concerning, especially related to health and education, and therefore the participation of PKH is only related to the health and education component. The writing focuses on the education component, because education is an integral part of the success of national development. The fact shows that the implementation of education has not been experienced by all of the Indonesian people, especially poor families based on data from the Central Statistics Agency in 2013 showing that the number of dropped-out children at the age of 7-12 years reached 0.67 percent, age 13-15 years reached 2.21 percent, and aged 16-18 years reached 3.14 percent.Whereas, UNICEF data in 2015 revealed that 2.5 million children in Indonesia could not get education, which consists of 600 thousand elementary school-aged children (SD) and 1.9 million junior high school-aged children (SMP). The main cause of this situation is the lack of awareness and / or understanding of poor families about the importance of education for a better future, and the lack of sufficient funds so that the children are unable to go to school (dropping out of school).To answer this challenge, the Government intervened through PKH, namely conditional cash assistance in order to make the poor families feel motivated to send their children to school or re-send their dropped-out children to school..
This research evaluation is aimed to see about how far the implemented policy such as regulation/rule of legislation that related to education program of PKH and its implementation in the field both for the local government and the accuracy of the program targets.

Risk Management and Poverty Reduction through CBOs. Evidence from Hai District, Tanzania
Deogratias Basil Aikaruwa – September 2019 Page No.: 85-99
The study is on the investigation of the roles of CBOs in risk management and poverty reduction in Hai District. It is a case study research employing a total of 353 respondents as sample size. Data were collected through the use of different tools including observation, interview and documentary review. Most data collected were statistical thus analysed through SPSS software.
The findings indicate that most of CBO members’ annual income increased after joining CBO. This was due to members’ involvement in more income generating projects as a result of accessing credit opportunities. Despite the increased annual income a significant percentage of the respondents (12.6%) remained multidimensionally poor based on MPI.
The findings also demonstrated that CBOs coordinated and promoted private investments among their members as a way of fighting extreme poverty and improving the people’s livelihood. CBOs enabled members to identify market prospects for their products. Some CBOs had marketing managers who were employed solely to help members to search for markets for their products. Some CBOs were least equipped with the management competence needed to identify market chances as each member traded his/her products individually.

Music in Unification and Resistance: Song and Artistic Performance since Land Reform in Zimbabwe
Isaac Machafa, Praise Zinhuku- September 2019 Page No.: 100-104
Song and artistic performance have long been dominant discourses in liberation struggles across the globe. Southern Africa, the United States of America, Ireland, and Latin America are just a few examples of where lyrics of freedom and artistic performances, used as a means of unification and resistance, have entered popular culture and the political imaginary during and well after times of struggle. In Zimbabwe similar trends are evident as several indigenous performing groups have used song and artistic performances to express their life aspirations in view of the new obtaining economic environment after the land reform of year 2000. This paper discusses how song and performance constitute a space of assertion and how performances of liberation have been translated into an expressive tool well after the attainment of political independence. The paper also discusses how song and artistic performance has adjusted to the opening and/or closing of space (temporal, geographical, psychological, and symbolic) within our indigenous traditional societies.

Galvanising Voices of Older Persons for Action in Nigeria
Atumah, Oscar N, Odesanya, Saheed O. – September 2019 Page No.: 105-109
In developing societies, older adults face many challenges to which the government paid little attention. Government priorities are misplaced when they are unable to care for older adults who contributed to nation-building. Older adults are known to suffer in silence because no one is interested in listening to their plights. This exploratory paper reviewed some of the challenges experienced by older adults in Nigeria and examined a few strategies to galvanize the voices of older persons. Some issues affecting the well-being of older adults include the lack of adequate healthcare facilities, lack of funding to cover medical cost, poverty, loneliness, neglect, abuse, and insecurity, among others. Older adults are an essential segment of the population whose wisdom and knowledge are indispensable to the socio-economic development of the society. The writer suggested a few ways to ensure that older adults have a voice in Nigeria.

Assessment of the Effectiveness of Strategies That Were Implemented by the Government to Revive the Manufacturing Sector in Bulawayo Metropolitan Province during the Period 2009 to 2017
Fainos Chinjova – September 2019 Page No.: 126-130
This research was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the strategies that were implemented by the government to revive the manufacturing sector in Bulawayo Metropolitan Province during the period 2009 to 2017. The study was prompted by the fact that Bulawayo Metropolitan Province has always been the industrial hub of Zimbabwe, but has been reduced to a ghost town, regardless of a number of strategies implemented by both the government to revive the manufacturing sector since the introduction of the use of multicurrency in 2009. The researcher used an interpretivism research philosophy because it enabled access to reality of the effectiveness of strategies implemented to revive the manufacturing sector in Bulawayo Metropolitan Province through social constructions. A qualitative research methodology was applied in order to generate a lot of data in the field where participants experienced the problem under study as well as to understand the participants’ thoughts, feelings and viewpoints on the phenomenon. A multiple case study research design was used because it facilitated a holistic and in-depth assessment of the effectiveness of the strategies implemented to revive the manufacturing sectors in Bulawayo Metropolitan Province. Data was gathered using open-ended questionnaire that was administered by the researcher to 18 middle managers. In-depth interviews were conducted with 14 middle managers and 12 senior managers of manufacturing companies. A focus group discussion was conducted with 11 supervisors and general workers. The major findings of the study were that the strategies implemented to revive the manufacturing sector were not effective to revive the sector as manufacturing companies in Bulawayo continued to suffer a decrease in revenue, productivity, profitability and an increase in retrenchments during the period 2009 to 2017.

Implementing Results Based Management in the Zimbabwe Civil Service: Can it Work?
Jefias Mundondo, Vitalis Chikoko, Andrew Chindanya – September 2019 Page No.: 144-153
The overarching goal of the study was to establish what it entails to make the Results Based Management (RBM) system work in the Zimbabwe Civil Service. In pursuit of this goal, the study explored how civil servants understand and experience the implementation of the RBM system, their attitudes towards the system, factors affecting implementation and their perspectives regarding the way forward. A review literature and studies showed that there were mixed feelings about the efficiency, effectiveness, appropriateness, workability and sustainability of the RBM system in the Zimbabwe Civil Service. There seemed to be inadequate knowledge about what it entails to make RBM work. This study therefore sought to establish what really works for RBM in the Zimbabwe Civil Service.
The study used the qualitative approach to explore the phenomena under study. The phenomenology design was employed to bring to the fore experiences and perceptions of civil servants with regards to the implementation of RBM in the Zimbabwe Civil Service. Face-to-face individual in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used to generate data from participants. The document analysis technique was also used to compliment face to face individual in-depth interviews and focus group discussions.
The study established that civil servants especially those in the lower levels of Ministries and Departments had not clearly understood and totally embraced the RBM system. They lacked the necessary competencies, knowledge and technical skills to effectively implement the RBM system. Civil servants did not have the motivation, passion and commitment to implement the RBM system. The RBM training exposed to civil servants was rather inadequate and ineffective especially to personnel at lower levels of Ministries and Departments. There was no meaningful feedback on performance and in addition, training needs and performance gaps were not regularly and adequately addressed. There were glaring gaps in monitoring and evaluation mechanisms and furthermore evaluation results were not fully utilized to improve the system. Generally, there were yawning gaps between ‘best practices ‘on RBM implementation and what was happening in the Zimbabwe Civil Service. The Zimbabwe Civil Service was simply not adhering to the principles and guidelines of RBM implementation.
All these yawning gaps point to the need of regular feedback, monitoring and evaluation as well as creation of a culture of learning during implementation. The regular feedback, monitoring and evaluation will result in making the necessary adjustments, modifications and corrections of the current RBM system. This continuous reviewing, updating and refinement of the system is anticipated to lead to the creation of a customized RBM system that speaks to the contextual issues of the civil service.
The study recommends that a large scale capacity building programme on RBM be conducted in all ministries and departments and across all categories of staff to enhance civil servants’ capacities to effectively implement RBM. It is also recommended that senior management should champion RBM implementation by supervising, monitoring, evaluating and enforcing its implementation. Monetary and non-monetary incentives be introduced to encourage implementation and improve civil servants’ attitudes towards the system. Further research on strategies of customizing the RBM system is recommended so that the system remains fit-for-purpose and continuously speak to the contextual factors of the Zimbabwe Civil Service and the country in general.

Pollution Resulting From Oil Exploration in the Niger-Delta Region of Nigeria: A Need to Re-Evaluate the Legal Sanctions Contained in Nigerian Environmental Laws
Abdulwasi MUSAH, Adegoke Olusegun Steve – September 2019 Page No.: 154-165
Environmental pollution is commonly associated with oil spillage in the Niger-Delta Region of Nigeria. To address the menace posed by pollution resulting from oil exploitation activities, the government has through legislations sought to outlaw acts capable of endangering the environment. The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), Environmental Impact Assessment Act and Harmful Waste Act (both contained in Laws of Federation of Nigeria 2004) are some of the legislations through which the government seeks to make the Niger-Delta environment pollution free. Sanctions like fines, imprisonments and revocation of licences have been used to discourage oil companies from polluting the environment, yet the problem lingers on. It is therefore the aim of this paper to interrogate the potency of these environmental protection laws most especially the legal sanctions contained therein. It is a fact that the legal sanctions in the petroleum industry were out-dated and ineffective in making polluters comply in Nigeria. The loopholes in the laws have allowed polluters to escape without sanctions. It is also a fact that pollution is prevalent in the Niger-Delta communities and from findings, the regulators usually issued warnings without prosecuting the offenders. The government needs a transformation from making ineffectual laws to making laws that are effective so that any erring environmental polluter would immediately be made to face the music stemming from their misdemeanours and prosecuted accordingly while high fines and imprisonment terms should be imposed where they are found guilty. The Nigerian courts must also rise to the occasion by ensuring that environmental cases are treated with the seriousness they deserve. Justice and not technicality of laws should be the order when adjudicating on cases of environmental pollution.

Green IR Theory and Domestic Wars: Revisiting Environmental Conflicts in Africa
Michael J. Denis – September 2019 Page No.: 166-171
Recent outbreak of environmental conflicts in African countries is a threat to peaceful human co-existence. This is opposed to the rather decline in warfare on the international arena. This work therefore explored other possible means of tackling domestic conflicts by employing the Green International Relations (IR) theory in explaining the cause(s) and possible solutions to environmental conflicts in Africa. The methodology used in this study is mainly the analysis of secondary data from journals, literatures, documentaries, while also examining a couple of case studies as an empirical basis. The findings in this study revealed that environmental change is unlikely to be a an independent cause of domestic wars that are related to environmental scarcity in Africa, hence, sought relevance of other factors like economy and politics. It recommended that in order to avoid conflicts arising from environmental change, the state and non-state actors must consider the health of the ecosystem as paramount, adopt legal approaches to protecting the environment, take environmental consciousness as a moral duty, work for improved economy and a make the society relatively prosperous, and most importantly should opt for non-violent alternatives in the face of resource scarcity.

The Impact of Accommodation Location on Students Performance in General Chemistry at the Copperbelt University
Gibson Matipa, Nkhata Leonard – September 2019 Page No.: 172-183
The purpose of the study was “to investigate the impact of accommodation location on student’s performance in General Chemistry at the Copperbelt University.” The study objectives were; To investigate the ratio between the accommodated students and non-accommodated for CH110 students in the school of mathematics and natural sciences for each intake, To identify where students not accommodated on campus stay, To compare the performance of the students on campus to those outside campus in General Chemistry. This study was a cross sectional survey design using both quantitative and qualitative methods to collect data from the school of mathematics and natural sciences, lists of students who were accommodated in 2015 and 2016 on campus from the accommodation department and answers from students through the questionnaire use. The two variables were; accommodation location (independent) and academic performance (dependent). The sample (781) was drawn from the Copperbelt University a place which is in Kitwe district of the copperbelt province. Data was gathered using a questionnaire and later analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics of Analysis of the t-test. The results collected for 2015 and 2016 intake were analyzed using the SPSS version 23. The findings suggested that “there is no significant relationship between students accommodation location and their academic performance” because the sample independent test value of significant was greater than the p value of 0.05. The recommendations were that the university should build more hostels, given allowance to outside accommodated students and set the timetable that favors them.

Factors Impact on Employee Turnover with Special Reference to the Apparel Industry in Sri Lanka
A.G.N.K. Fernando – September 2019 Page No.: 184-187
Employee turnover is identified as the one of the critical issues faced by the apparel industry in Sri Lanka. Thus, diminishing the turnover is more dynamic since apparel sector is the main employment and the main foreign exchange earner in the country. This study empirically evaluated the impact of four variables on the employee turnover with special reference to the non-executive carder employees in Apparel industry in Sri Lanka. The sample consisted of hundred and fifty non-executive level employees working in the apparel sector and the data were gathered by using self-administering questionnaires. The analysis exposes that working conditions, compensation, employee personal growth and career development implies negative relationship with the employee turnover. Thus there is positive relationship between work life stress and employee turnover. The study results will be beneficial for the apparel business to take suitable approaches to create the present context to formulate strategies to reduce the turnover of the employees in the organization.

Admissions Policy for Higher Education: Experience of Quality Education in Selected Universities, in Kenya
Wekesa Moses Soita & Dr. Zacharia K. Kosgei (PhD) – September 2019 Page No.: 188-192
Quality higher education in Kenya appears to be influenced by several factors which include but not restricted to policies on quality education; admissions, funding, policies on inclusion and constitutional requirements. These policies are said to affect access to higher education in Kenya. However, the extent to which the identified policies impact on access to higher education in Kenya has not been extensively studied. The study objective was to determine the effects of admissions policy on quality of higher education. The target population in this study was 236, where 116 respondents were top managers while 120 respondents were students. Simple random sampling technique was used to select students who participated in this study. The questionnaire was used on the Admissions Officers, Deans, DVCs, DQA, finance officers, HODs, and the interview schedule was used on students. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study established that there was a positive and statistically significant relationship between admissions policy and access to quality higher education.The study recommended that the Universities should employ lecturers with PhD certificates to merge with student enrolment.

Is Justice for Sale in Ghana?
Anthony Kofi Anomah – September 2019 Page No.: 204-210
The materials in this article dates back to 1990 when Ghana was only 33years as an independent nation. However, at 62 years, the prevailing situations in the country has not changed significantly from what it was about 30 years ago. A lot of the issues encountered in those days are still present with us. Some of the issues that the country is currently battling with are corruption, nepotism, cronyism favouritism, injustice and underdevelopment. The promised land envisaged by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and subsequent leaders are yet to be attained. In this article, the writer re-visits the dreams of the leaders in terms of the definition of justice and the practice of justice prevailing then and now and comes to the conclusion that there is still much to be desire if Ghana is to attain the vision of freedom and justice envisaged for the people of Ghana in the twenty-first century. The perception among many Ghanaians is that the country as a whole is corrupt with corrupt and unjust leaders beginning from the Executive, Judiciary, Parliament and the ordinary citizen. Thus, many resort to instant justice instead of going to the court because they believe the judicial system favours the strong and the rich at the expense of the weak and the poor.
The writer is of the view that the majority of the citizenry should have access to legal aid and extrajudicial dispute resolution mechanisms; fast-track adjudication of justice and removal of all bottlenecks to the administration of justice.

Methods Used by Teachers in Teaching Sexuality Education within the HIV and AIDS Education Programme in Selected Kenyan Secondary Schools
Lily Jerotich Yego – September 2019 Page No.: 211-216
The HIV and AIDS prevalence in Kenya is still high and remains a major health concern despite the Kenyan government’s initiatives to create awareness about the epidemic through inclusion of the HIV and AIDS programme in schools. This is because the provision of sexuality, HIV and AIDS education in schools is not effective. Teachers face various challenges in the effective delivery of the subject due to their discomfort related to these sensitive topics. Therefore, learners are left inadequately supported by the teachers. With an immense variety of conflicting information about sexuality availed to young people through the social media and also through their peers, young people are left at risk of exploring their sexualities with inadequate and wrong information, thus exposing them to HIV infections. Since schools have been identified as ideal sites for the effective delivery of sexuality, HIV and AIDS education, teachers are expected to teach the learners using a variety of pedagogical strategies in order to achieve efficacy in the delivery of this subject, hence the need to explore teaching styles that could provide a safe space for the effective delivery of sexuality, HIV and AIDS education.
This study sought to explore the methods used by kenyan secondary school teachers in teaching sexuality education within the HIV and AIDS education programme in selected kenyan secondary schools, in order to understand how such methods could affect the teaching of Sexuality education. This study employed a phenomenological research design, interpretivist paradigm and a participatory methodology. Memory accounts, reflective journals and focus group discussions were used for data generation with nine secondary school teachers, from three purposively selected schools in Kenya. Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory underpinned the study.
The findings revealed that teachers are uncomfortable teaching sexuality education because of fear of leading learners astray, fear of victimization and sexualization, and fear of misleading and hurting learners because of lack of knowledge. This resulted in teachers feeling guilty due to ineffective delivery of Sexuality education. The findings also revealed that participatory visual methods were effective for use by the teachers and the learners in the classroom to navigate issues around sexuality, HIV and AIDS. This was because they are learner-centred, thus making learners producers of knowledge while at the same time encouraging optimism in teaching and learning. This study thus recommends pre-service teacher training on participatory methods of teaching. Educational institutions should also arrange for workshops to train in-service teachers on comprehensive sexuality, HIV and AIDS education and how to tackle it in their classrooms. Moreover, curriculum developers should make sexuality, HIV and AIDS education a compulsory subject to give it equal status with other examinable subjects, for it to be taken seriously. It is only through concerted efforts from everyone that Kenya can reach its target of Zero new HIV infections

Managing Physical Hazards for Academic Staff Productivity in Public Universities in Rivers State, Nigeria
Vita, Barielnen, Abraham, Nath. M. – September 2019 Page No.: 217-223
This study investigated management of physical occupational hazards for academic staff productivity in public universities in Rivers State. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. It was guided by two research questions and two hypotheses. The population consisted of 2,498 academic staff of the three public universities in Rivers State. A sample of 250 academic staff was drawn through proportionate stratified random sampling technique. This represented 10% of the population. A researchers’ structured instrument entitled, “Management of Physical Occupational Hazards for Academic Staff Productivity Questionnaire (MPOHASPQ)” was used for data collection. The instrument was properly validated and the reliability tested through Cronbach Alpha Method yielded a reliability index of 0.83. Data collected were analysed using statistical package for social science (SPSS), mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while independent sample z-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 significant level. The study revealed among others that the strategies for managing physical occupational hazards for academic staff productivity include: providing well ventilated lecture theatres/offices, air-conditioned/well ventilated laboratories/workshops and providing fire extinguishers in office/lecture areas. The study also revealed the challenges of managing physical occupational hazards to include among others; inadequate provision of safety tools for conducting practicals, inadequate funding of public universities and lack of viable monitoring team that monitors and evaluates the conditions of physical structures/tools/equipment in the universities. Based on these findings, conclusion was drawn and the following recommendations among others were made: caution signs should be provided around lecture theatres/lecturers offices as a way of controlling noise and there should be well established regulation directing members of staff and students to switch off electrical appliances in their offices/classrooms before they close for the day.

Nomugisha Mary, Turyamuhaki Peter, Nuwamanya Allen – September 2019 Page No.: 224-230
The study was about income levels and gender-based violence in Kamukuzi Division, Mbarara Municipality, Mbarara District Uganda; the study focused on the following objectives; to determine income levels of civil servants in relation to gender-based violence, to document the experiences of civil servants on gender-based violence (nature, magnitude etc.) in Mbarara Municipality and to ascertain the relationship between income levels and the rate of gender-based violence.
A case study design was adopted in this study; it involved both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis. The study targeted civil servants in kamukuzi division where samples of 150 respondents were selected from teachers, social workers, administrators and health workers. The study employed questionnaire and interview method for investigation.
Basing on the study findings there is no significant relationship between income levels and gender-based violence. The study explored the different income levels basing on the salary scale for Uganda and the respondents studied ranged from U8-U3 as per the government of Uganda. The findings established similarly conditions, nature and perceptions towards gender-based violence. The study further established that civil servants have a negative attitude towards gender-based violence. It was also established that gender-based violence affects staff performance; it causes depression, stress and anger that undermine work performance.
Leaders especially the cultural, religious and human rights activist should clearly come to an understanding on the gender roles, positions and participation in family, government agency should always organize a come together sensitization campaign to discuss and explore domestic issues in general and NGOs and other private sectors should intervene to curb down the gender based violence among the working class, life planning.

An Analysis on the Impact of Gender Roles on Female Managerial Level Employees: An Investigation of the Garment Industry in Sri Lanka
Dr Hemamalie Gunatilaka – September 2019 Page No.: 231-238
Sri Lanka is no exception in relation to the impact of globalization on peripheral countries. The society itself had to get adjusted to changes required by globalization, such as letting go the females as unskilled labourers to foreign countries, to newly established garment factories, call centers etc. The need for females to work was all the more prominent in the background of thirty years of civil war where predominantly male armed forces were engaged in battle fields. The education system in Sri Lanka was such that more females entered tertiary level education and became qualified to get employed at managerial levels.
With the end of the three decade long civil war in year 2009, Sri Lanka is entering into a new development Era. Hence present economic trends in Sri Lanka will demand more female employees for emerging opportunities.
Sri Lankan garment sector consists of a large proportion of females, representing different levels of the organizational hierarchy. Entry of females into industry calls for new conditions of employment and addressing issues relating to diversity.
Within this backdrop this paper is written with the major objective of analyzing the impact of gender roles on managerial level female employees in Sri Lankan garment industry.
Gender roles’ as they are commonly known and which are the foundations of ascribed roles for gender, affect the lives of men and women around the globe. These impacts shape and reshape different facets of their lives such as personal, work and social.
Qualitative approach was used as the main research method. The study covers two Sri Lankan large scale private sector garment organizations. Using theoretical sampling in-depth interviews will be held with female and male managers.
Findings will enable to understand the gender role attitudes held by female and male managers and the impact of such attitudes on personal and work lives of female managers.

Assessment of Indigenous Knowledge Strategies on Post Harvest Food Crops Storage in Belo Sub Division
Kelvin Toh Nkwain, Norbert Tohnain Lengha, Augustine Toh Gam – September 2019 Page No.: 239-250
Much food crops are cultivated in rural areas but farmers still suffer from food shortages due to increasing post-harvest losses. This is as a result of insufficient and or absent of conventional food processing, preservation and storage facilities. This has led to increasing and alternatively use of indigenous knowledge (IK) strategies for food crop preservation and storage. However, this research meant to enumerates the different food crops varieties and the distinct IKs strategies applied on post-harvest food crops, difficulties and the way forward. The study sampled nine out of the nineteen villages that make up Belo Sub Division. A three-stage sampling techniques were employed: purposive sampling in other to select the study villages and random and snowball sampling methods to equally arrive at the sample size of 150 and also ensure that respondents with exemplified IKs characteristics were identified and included in the study. Questionnaires, focus groups, interviews, and field observations were employed for data collection and the data was further analysed using Excel to transform it into tables and photos were equally taken to portrays the field reality. The results shows that a total of twenty-four different types of IKs in food storage were identified, ten to prevent weevils, five in preventing mould and rotting, four in maintaining freshness and five to prevent rodents, with the main preservation and storage facility being ikaɳ. Despite the available IKs, farmers still suffer enormous losses of food crops ranging from 20 to 43% due to limited space, limited storage facilities and above all limited fuel wood. We therefore recommend the integration of IKs with scientific knowledge of post harvest management and training, and provision of integrated post-harvest management facilities in the study area.

Gender Inequality at Work: A Literature Review
Dr Hemamalie Gunatilaka – September 2019 Page No.: 251-256
Gender inequality at work is the focus of this article. Accordingly, it attempts to highlight the conceptual frameworks on gender inequality at work and present the practical applicability of these theories with the use of garment industry in Sri Lanka as an example. Women in the garment industry in Sri Lanka account for three fourth of the workforce in the industry and patriarchy plays a vital role within the social structure of the country. Buddhist philosophy highlights that a person becomes who s/he is with what s/he does, but not with what s/he has or who s/he is in the society. In contrast, Sri Lanka being a Buddhist country people’s position is still determined by who they are. Capitalist patriarchy, gender regimes, gendered organisations, creating subjectivities and resistance and agency are used as the conceptual frameworks to understand gender inequality at work. The literature on Sri Lankan women in the garment industry produce important evidence regarding women’s subordination, identities, agency, resistance etc. Most significantly patriarchy plays a vital role in creating gender subordination and government intervention facilitate the subordination of women employed in garment factories in Sri Lanka.

Students’ Involvement in Physics Club Activities and Science and Engineering Fair, and Enrolment in Physics at KCSE level in Secondary Schools in Masaba South Sub-County, Kisii County-Kenya
Otieno Jacktone Gangre, Shem Mwalw’a, Billiah Gisore – September 2019 Page No.: 257-264
Low enrolment of students in Physics in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) has attracted the attention of various stakeholders in Masaba South Sub-County. This study was anchored on John Dewey’s Education Theory. The study sought to answer the question that: To what extent does involvement of students in Physics club activities and science and Engineering Fair influence enrolment of students in Physics at KCSE level in secondary schools in Masaba South Sub-County, Kisii County? This study used a mixed method approach, specifically, a convergent parallel mixed -method design with a population of 44 public secondary schools from where 13 were sampled. The 13 principals of the selected schools were purposively included in the study as well as 13 HODs and 13 Physics teachers. Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table was used to sample 354 out the 4,199 form four students in the sub county. Questionnaires for students, teachers of Physics and Heads of Department (HODs) and interview guides for Principals were used for data collection. The study obtained correlation coefficients of Alpha, α = 0.761, for students questionnaire, α = 0.897 for teachers of Physics questionnaire and α = 0.899 for HODs questionnaire. Thus, the study instruments were considered reliable as their reliability coefficients α > 0.70.The study achieved an overall response rate of 97.7%. The level of participation in Science Engineering Fair was generally to a low level as majority could only go up to the regional level 91 (26.2%) although Science club activities were found to improve the interest of students to learn Physics (Mean = 3.63 ± 1.437). The study established that there is a statistically significant relationship Chi-Square, χ2 = 6.606 (p = 0.037) between student participation in Physics Club and SEF and students enrolment in Physics at KCSE (p < .05). The study concludes that participation in science/Physics club activities as well as SEF enhances confidence and understanding of Physics concepts. The study recommends that school principals should facilitate formation of Physics clubs in addition to the existing science clubs in their schools.

Public Engagement and Revenue Collection Effectiveness in Kagadi Town Council, Kagadi Local Government
Eric Sunday, Dr. Mohammad Ssendagi – September 2019 Page No.: 265-285
The study on “Public Engagement and Revenue collection Effectiveness in Kagadi Town Council” concentrated on analyzing the impact of public engagement on revenue collection effectiveness in Kagadi Town Council, Kagadi Local Government.
The researcher carried out a quantitative research with non-experimental, co-relational, cross-sectional, survey design considering a cross-sectional trend in order to reduce time and cost(s) involved. The target population was 1000 people from where a sample size of 278 respondents was sampled for the study using a combination of Simple random and purposive sampling techniques were employed. The researcher also carried out the validity and reliability of the research instruments that revealed R sqd (Alpha) value of 0.775 hence good fit.
The study findings revealed that public mobilization, public sensitization and consultations positively impact on the revenue contributions made by the business community in Kagadi Town Council. This was evidenced by Pearson’s rank correlation coefficients(r) of 0.534, 0.541 and 0.630 which were statistically significant at P-value (0.000<0.01) respectively.
Based on the study findings, it was recommended that in a way to further improve public mobilization, the town council tax administration should consider a range of assistance modalities to support revenue matters. And amongst them are the technical assistance, policy dialogue and financial assistance to guide public mobilization programs. Further there was need to promote transparency in order to improve accountability and awareness in various ways. In a move to broaden the consultation programs, the town council should encourage broad based dialogue on tax matters which include civil society groups, business and other stakeholders.

Efficacy of Information Science in Bridging the Digital Divide in Kenyan Institutions of Higher Education and Learning
Nyapela Matthews Abijah – September 2019 Page No.: 286-290
– Digital age is heavily characterized by the merits of advanced technologies where digital divide evidently features out to be a spectacular concern affecting development of knowledge geographical society. Due to this development, the innovation of new technology is unfairly utilized by the rich members of society at the expense of poor ones. Quite a lot of research work done in developed and developing countries testify to the evidence of this technological divide. This paper suggests appropriate solutions to reduce this technological imbalance. The objectives of this article is to elucidate fundamental indicators of information science in bridging the digital divide in institutions of higher learning with reference to the University of Nairobi, to assess information science initiatives being undertaken in mitigating such unfavorable divide, to examine how broadband subscription can be applied to support learning and research in universities, and to find out factors that influence ownership, use and non-use of digital information devices. This paper will also enhance effective remedy and equal access to information and communications technology in institutions of higher learning. Understanding this article will enable us to discover major factors that inhibit access and utility of digital information being transition of digitization of resources, poor internet connectivity, insufficient ICT devices, and lack of skills and familiarity in the use of the same. It goes ahead to recommend on the need to train and reposition the information professionals and custodians, formulation of information science programs, sufficient acquisition of ICT resources, enhancement of bandwidth management, and impartation of information science in schools. The ultimate conclusion underscores the initiative of institutions of higher education and learning to do everything possible in bridging digital divide, with regard to the need for enhancing information science and ICT courses in pre-university learning institution.

Environmental Impacts of the Uncontrolled Depletion of Rosewood (Madrid Wood) in Taraba State, Nigeria
John, Wajim – September 2019 Page No.: 291-299
Timber merchants are moving from one state to another in Nigeria depleting the Rosewood in their forests, leaving empty landscapes without minding the enduring effects of uncontrolled harvesting of the tree on the environment due to its demand over the past number of decade in China where they are used for the construction of furniture to satisfy the appetite of the country’s middle class whose wealth has been on the increase. Apart from the effect on the environment, the forestry experts fear that the illegal activities of local and Chinese merchants will also have telling economic implications in the near future on many communities where the forests that grow the much sought-after tropical Woods are located. This study examined the environmental impacts of the uncontrolled depletion of Rosewood (Madrid Wood) in Taraba State, Nigeria. A cross sectional survey research was conducted to generate the research data used to answer the research questions. Both secondary sources and quantitative research approaches were combined in this study. Samples of five hundred and forty-four (544) questionnaires were administered by four trained research assistants but five hundred and seventeen (517) were duly completed and returned. The data from the returned questionnaires were analyzed with the help of Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS). Thus, amongst other recommendations, the study recommends that Taraba State government should empower its forestry department to fully enforce the country’s forestry laws and policies. The study further recommends extensive public awareness campaign on the dire consequences of deforestation to people and environment.

Pre-Service Teachers’ Perceptions of Their Attitudes towards Inclusive Education for Students with Disabilities
Shamsiah Md Nasir – September 2019 Page No.: 300-302
Malaysia’s development plan in education through the Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013-2025 is in tandem with the global education agenda. Following the Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action on Special Needs Education, those with special needs must have access to mainstream schools with an inclusive orientation which are the most effective means of overcoming discriminatory attitudes, creating welcoming communities and building an inclusive society. This study aims to investigate the readiness of pre-service teachers towards the inclusion of special needs students in mainstream classrooms. A total of 56 pre-service teachers from one institute of teacher education participated in this study. Data were collected through The Sentiments, Attitudes, and Concerns about Inclusive Education Revised (SACIE-R) scale. The statistical analysis showed that pre-service teachers had moderate readiness towards inclusive education. Implications of the findings are discussed and further suggestions are made as to how institute of teacher education may engage pre-service teachers more effectively with their program to promote better inclusive practices.

Overcoming Cultural Untranslatability: With Special Reference to Wikramasinghe’s ‘Gamperaliya’ and its English Translation, ‘Uprooted’ by Lakshmi de Silva and Ranga Wikramasinghe
Gunathilaka D. D. I. M. B. and Ariyaratne W. M. – September 2019 Page No.: 303-309
Translators encounter numerous issues in the process of translation. One of such issues is untranslatability, which occurs with the difficulty of finding appropriate target language equivalents for the source language terms, phrases or concepts. According to J. C. Catford, there are two categories of untranslatability namely linguistic untranslatability (LU) and cultural untranslatability (CU). To overcome these untranslatable scenarios, translators use several translation strategies. However, overcoming CU is problematic than LU. The purpose of this study was to discuss how this issue of CU has been overcome in the context of indigenous literature in Sri Lanka referring Wikramasinghe’s ‘Gamperaliya’ and its English translation, ‘Uprooted’. In this regard, the aforementioned novel and its translation were comparatively analyzed by using content analysis method. Theoretical reading materials related to the concept of untranslatability and regarding different translation techniques were also referred. In conclusion of this study, it was investigated that the novel ‘Gamperaliya’ is rich in cultural aspects where both translators found some difficulties in predisposing them for the target language audience. To overcome CU, translators have used different strategies individually and in combination of them such as the methods of Paraphrase, Regular Borrowing, Sentence Embedded Annotated Borrowing, Converted Borrowing, Loan Blend, Literal Translation, Calque, Equivalence, and Compensation. Two novel translation techniques, which fabricated with the combination of Borrowing and Equivalence, and Borrowing and Literal Translation have been invented and used. In addition to that, to overcome the CU in this context, they have even engaged in neologism and in utilizing the techniques of omission and addition. However, it was determined that the translators were not able to solve all scenarios of CU. Mistranslations and inconsistency of translated terminologies has negatively affected the understandability of the translation. This research proposed that these facts should be considered to make appropriate editing to ‘Uprooted’ in the future.

Socio-Political and Economic Implications of the Inconclusive Elections in Nigeria: Issues and Threads in the 2019 General Elections
BABATOLA, Adeleye Marcus (Ph.D) , ADEYEMI, Paul Adeniyi (Ph.D), ADEWUMI, Adebayo David – September 2019 Page No.: 310-318
The issue of the inconclusive elections in Nigeria is becoming appalling to the extent that the credibility of poll is threatened. The politics of power play among the political gladiators cannot be under estimated. It is found out to have played a vital role thus affecting the democratic consolidation and good governance in the country.
The study however finds out that due to the desperation on the part of the politicians and the desire to win elections at all cost has precipitated the philosophy of the inconclusiveness of elections most often. It is discovered that the system is characterized with evil activities which have become so rampant in most states of the federation.
The criminal activities such as the ballot snatching, destruction of election materials, killing of ad hoc and permanent staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), announcement of poll results under duress, disappearance of the returning officers with election results, over militarization of the poll and the issue of the fake military officers are also found to have been responsible for the inconclusiveness of elections. In view of this, the study examines the politics behind the inconclusiveness of the poll in Nigeria particularly in the 2019 general elections.
The study adopts both primary and secondary sources of data collection to accomplish its objectives. The study therefore concludes that for credible and acceptable poll to thrive in Nigeria, those involved in election frauds and violent must desist and government must ensure that anyone apprehended should be made to face the music accordingly.

Strategic Use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in Disaster/Crisis Management in Kenya
Joshua K. Kwonyike, John M. Momanyi – September 2019 Page No.: 319-323
In this paper an attempt has been made to highlight the role of Information and communications technology in management of natural and man-made disasters in Kenya. In this age of technology, it is easier to manage natural and man-made disasters. The disasters outlined in this paper include floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, genocides, wars, workplace fires, and terrorism among others. Disasters can be managed using a number of features of Information and communications technology (ICT). ICT can be used in disaster prevention, mitigation and management. Advancements in ICT in form of radio, TV, telephone, SMS, satellite radio, sirens, cell broadcasting, drones, or the internet can help in a great deal in planning and reduction of hazards reduction measures. It is necessary for individuals and organisations have some degree of preparedness in terms of preparedness plans, early warning system, equipment and machinery that can be deployed for disaster response and mitigation.

Establishing the Relationship between Agency Banking Costs and Financial Performance of Commercial Banks in Uganda: A Case Study of Centenary Bank, Mbarara Branch
Christopher Banura Ruyooka – September 2019 Page No.: 324-330
Evidence shows that financial performance of commercial banks in developing countries has remained relatively poor. Most of the commercial banks have failed to meet their operational costs and this has forced them out of the market. The biggest challenge however has been the result of poor bank policies and products offered to a relatively small customer base. Therefore, the introduction of agency banking is to boost the revenue collection of these commercial banks, increase their profitability levels, create more efficient and real time systems, and improve their overall financial performance. It’s against this background, that this research paper aims at establishing the relationship between agency banking costs and financial performance of commercial banks in Uganda, taking Centenary bank Mbarara branch as the research case.This study adopted a quantitative descriptive non-experimental case study design where data was collected from 52 bank officials by the use of Survey questionnaire checklists. Data was then analyzed using SPSS statistical package. Background characteristics of respondents was generated by the use of tables, frequencies and percentages. In order for the study to test the hypothesis, correlations and regression analysis was used to reach at the significance levels.The study revealed that agency banking costs is a significant determinant for the financial performance of commercial banks with a standardized beta coefficient of (r=0.621, p<0.05) meaning that agency banking costs are significantly positively related with financial performance of commercial banks. The coefficient of determination/ r2 for agency costs is equal to 0.386 implying that a 38.6% variation in the financial performance of commercial banks is brought about by the agency banking costs. This further means that the financial performance of commercial banks improves with low agency banking costs. For instance, the costs involved in agency banking transactions is low compared to the banking hall transactions. Secondly, the cost of setting up a bank agency is transferred to the bank agent who benefits from the commission got from every transaction made by the customer. This creates a low cost for offering any financial service offered by the bank through the agent. Thirdly, agency banking has low infrastructural cost which have reduced the operational cost of the main branches. Last but not least, the time spent in agency banking is low compared to the time spent in the banking hall. Overall the study was important and concluded that agency banking costs play a significant role in improving the financial performance of commercial banks and hence creating financial inclusiveness where individuals have greater access to affordable and useful financial services and products that can meet their needs in a responsible and sustainable manner.

Destructive Nature of Communal Conflict in Nigeria: A Focus on Oruku and Umuode Conflict in Enugu State of Nigeria
Adenyi Theophilus Okechukwu, Nnamchi Kevin Chikwado, Onyia Michael Chukwuka – September 2019 Page No.: 331-342
This paper examines the destructive nature of communal conflict in Nigeria with a focus on Oruku/Umuode conflict in Enugu State. The specific objectives of the paper were to investigate factors that escalates the conflict, its effect on the development of the communities and to find out why the resolution strategies adopted by Enugu State Government and other Third Party interveners failed. Macro theory of conflict was adopted as framework of analysis. The study adopts documentary and survey research design while data were collected through primary and secondary sources. The secondary source are data in books, journals, internet materials, Court documents relating to the conflict, Government Gazettes on the conflict, memoranda and petitions submitted by the communities to different Panel of Inquiry, and recommendations of different Panels of Inquiry on the conflict. The primary source is data generated directly from respondents through interview. Purposive sampling technique was used to select forty (40) respondents inter viewed. The paper found that the conflict had led to loss of several lives and properties and created internally displaced persons who took refuge in the neighboring communities and within Oruku. The paper argues that resolution of such an intractable and destructive conflict requires neutrality by interveners and a change of strategy and approach with the adoption of conflict transformation through which both the actors, the issues, structural, behavioural and attitudinal aspects of the conflict will be transformed. The paper recommends that Government and third-party interveners should be neutral in their bid to resolve the conflict and that the youths who are combatants in the area should be demobilized and empowered. Those who were displaced by the conflict should be identified and rehabilitated by government or non-governmental organizations so as to alleviate their suffering and change their perception from the culture of war to a culture of peace.

Nova Mustika, Anggun Sophia – September 2019 Page No.: 343-347
One important thing to highlight in improving the quality of education in health tertiary institutions is the facilities and infrastructure in the form of learning modules, especially those concerning the English language practice specifically for health analysts. The author considers that the module is a very important tool in the smoothness of a learning process because the learning process module is expected to run more directed and the learning objectives can be achieved. This study aims to develop English in Analyzer module in improving English language skills for valid health analyst students. This type of research used is research and development or Research and Development (R&D), which is research that produces certain products. The development model used in this study is the 4 D model, namely Define, design, develop, disseminate. The research instrument used in the form of a questionnaire consisting of sheets of the validity of English learning outcomes tests. This English in Analyzer module is validated by 3 validators consisting of 1 Lecturer with an English Doctor’s Degree, 1 English Lecturer at the STIKes Perintis Padang and 1 Health Analyst Lecturer at the STIKes Perintis Padang. The results of the lecturer practicality and student practicality sheets showed the average kappa moment (k) scores were 0.87, 0.71, respectively. Both of these scores if interpreted in the kappa moment category then the validity and practicality category of this module is High. Modules that have been developed are practically used for learning English for Health Analyst Students.

Economic and Political Challenges of Regional Integration in South-Asian Countries
Ajith Dissanayaka – September 2019 Page No.: 348-353
Economic and political integration in South Asian countries is said to be the major objective of SAARC. However, it is observed by many researchers that it is still far beyond the reality even after nearly 30 years from establishment of SAARC. Most of the studies on SAARC regional co-operation have highlighted more of the unsuccessful stories than successes. Changes in world economic order and changes in regional and domestic politics are blamed for it. This has lead variety of criticisms regarding the evolution of the SAARC to its present form. Criticisms range from the ides that it is a ‘talking shop’ to the critique that it is not a place for regional problems. Some commentators have gone to the extent that it is a “poor’s club”. In fact, these criticisms are not without reasons. This article examines political and economic factors behind the poor regional integration in SAARC.

Financial Resources Management in Higher Education
Umeghalu, Evelyn Okwuchukwu, Agha, Chisara Julia, Okeowhor, Donatus Odinakachi – September 2019 Page No.: 354-359
Higher institutions of learning in Nigeria, especially government-owned ones are in need of strong financial resources management in order to be better the lot of the students as well as the full actualisation of their given mandate. In this respect, Financial Resources Management becomes one of the highly preferred corporate techniques by higher education institutions for serving as a reputable institution and attracts more financial gifting from the entire public as well as foreign vested interests. This study proffered exposition on the need for financial resources management in higher education, in the context of higher institutions of learning in Nigeria. Based on the exposition, it was suggested among others that, research work should be made available to the public on 80/20 ratio. 80 per cent commercialised and 20 percent open access. Also, students as well as other scholars of Higher Education should be provided with crowd-funding platform for research project.

Adapted Hypermedia Shapes the Achievement of Geography: A Case of Hearing Impaired Students in Kenya
Obondo Gaudence – September 2019 Page No.: 360-367
The hearing impaired (HI) students often encounter communication problems in classroom. Yet some specific media can facilitate and enhance their learning. This study reports on the development of hypermedia educational instruction that supports HI student’s achievement in Geomorphology. The objectives were to find out; the achievement of students exposed to hypermedia lesson in Geomorphology and gender disparity. The study was informed by multiple intelligence and cognitive theory of multimedia learning regarding individual differences and strength of the brain to store well and recall images as opposed to text. The study assumed a pragmatic research paradigm adopting mixed methods using quasi experimental approach involving Solomon four nonequivalent control group design. Simple random sampling procedure was used to obtain four schools, two for experiment and two for control group. Data collection instruments were pre-test, post-test and questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that use of hypermedia for teaching HI resulted in higher achievement, girls improved more than boys. These findings may create awareness and need for integrating hypermedia in pedagogy for improved performance, thus helping learners to focus attention that promotes teachers’ instructional technique. The following recommendations were made; review of curriculum and digitize HI content, improve ICT infrastructure and facilities, teachers should exploit the potential of hypermedia to develop a wide range of student’s skills.

Integration of Hypermedia Instruction: a Change in Pedagogy for Hearing Impaired Students in Kenya
Dr. Obondo Gaudence, Professor Nabwire Violet Kafwa, Professor Too Jackson Kiprop – September 2019 Page No.: 368-376
Hypermedia is being used increasingly to provide heuristic approach. Integration of hypermedia into pedagogy is on the assumption that it helps students learn. The study determined changes on the role of both students and teachers and challenges experienced in integrating hypermedia. The study employed multiple intelligent (MI) theory. A mixed method approach involving quasi experimental was used. Four schools were selected and assigned randomly to control and experimental. Data was collected through rigorous interview and questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was used to summarize data, which was presented in tables. The results revealed that there are changes in role; students from passive to active, teachers from dispenser of knowledge to facilitator. Hypermedia allows interaction and self-learning, it is difficult to integrate due to varied disabilities and prerequisites.

Effect of Integrating Information and Communication Technology in the Teaching of Electronics on the Development of 21st Century learning and Innovation skills in university students: A Case of Mukuba University
Charles Saviye, Jack G. Jumbe, Justin K. Pondo – September 2019 Page No.: 384-392
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of integrating ICT in the teaching of Introductory Electronics on the development of 21st century learning and innovation skills in university students. The study was undertaken with all 3rd year students of Introductory Electronics at Mukuba University, pursuing a Bachelor of Education in Physics. (B.Ed. Physics). Two groups pre-test post-test experimental design was used in this quantitative study. The sample consisted of 41 students who were randomly assigned into two groups i.e. the experimental and control groups. To assess 21st century learning and innovation skills, a self-assessment 21st century learning and innovation skills Likert scale questionnaire and an observation sheet with a rubric were used to collect data. A Mann-Whitney u-test at an alpha 0.05 was used to investigate if there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups before intervention (Pre-test) and after intervention (Post-test). The findings in the post-test indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in the 21st century learning and innovation skills between the Experimental (Mean rank = 31.00, Mean = 4.26, SD =0.70) and Control (Mean rank = 10.50, Mean =2.05, SD = 0.32) groups; u-test =0.000, Z-score= -5.673 and p=0.000. These results suggest that integrating information and communication technology in the teaching of Introductory Electronics to undergraduate students has a positive effect on students’ development of 21st century learning and innovation skills.

The Scourge of Child Labour in Ondo State and Its Social Implications
Saka-Olokungboye, N, Musa, T.O. – September 2019 Page No.: 393-400
The phenomenon of child labour is a global malaise. Children all over the world have been exposed to hard and labourious tasks, some of which have been found to be dehumanizing, having serious social and health implications. This study “The scourge of child labour in Ondo State and its social implications”, is aimed at investigating the existence of child labour its causes, constraints and social implications and how to eradicate it with particular interest in Ondo State. Ondo state, is one of the states in the south-west geopolitical zone in Nigeria. The state was created in 1976. The state is bounded in the north-west by Ekiti state, west central by Osun State, South-East by Ogun and Delta states and in the South by the Atlantic Ocean. The strategic location of Ondo State has made it one of the largest, the most populated states and one of the urbanized states in Nigeria. The increase in population of Ondo State has forced many families to be engaged in human activities to avoid starvation, scavenge for living that could be described as child labour. Despite measures put in place by the federal government and NGOs to deal with the issue of child labour which includes, the Child’s Right Act (CRA) 2003, trafficking in persons (prohibition) Law enforcement and Administration Act 2003, yet child labour has persisted till date. This paper suggested that government should make legislature that would tackle the problem of poverty and unemployment in Nigeria, effective implementation of policy that would outlaw all forms of child labour and enforcement of Girl-child educational policy.

The Performance of National Pension Commission in Relation to the Management of Retiree’s Pension Funds at the Industrial Training Fund (ITF)
Amina Bala Salah, Assoc. Prof. Yahaya Adadu, Prof. Shaibu Ibrahim – September 2019 Page No.: 401-410
This study examines the Performance of National Pension Commission in Relation to the management of Retiree’s Pension Funds at the Industrial Training Fund (ITF). Survey and analysis of existing data research design was used to generate primary and secondary data respectively. Primary data was collected through the instrument of questionnaire and interview while, the secondary data was collected from textbooks, journals, magazines, periodicals, internet, etc. The study adopted Pension Productivity Theory propounded by Dorsey, Cornwell and Macpherson in 1998. The theory recognizes pension coverage as endogenous and it simultaneously estimates the channels through which pension incentives raise productivity. Findings from the study reveals that, Pension Fund Administrators under supervision of National Pension Commission have over the years of their operation remitted pension funds to the ITF Staff’ Retirement Saving Account. But that of the accumulated arrears are yet to be remitted to the individual RSA accounts. The Pension Fund Administrators in line with National Pension Commission (PenCom) directives have provided the ITF employees with various investment alternative opportunities to choose from. This has provided the platform for employees to decide which Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) they wish to commit their pension funds into. The new pension scheme under supervision of PenCom has eliminated delay in disbursement of pension benefit to ITF Retirees as well eradicated corruption in the disbursement of pension benefit to ITF retirees. The study therefore recommends among other issues that government, through the instrument of PenCom, Pension Fund Administrators and other stakeholders should as a matter of necessity institute a committee to remit all the outstanding debt of pension arrears owed to ITF Staff and should be credited into their RSA.

Teachers’position on Implementing Competence Based Curriculum in Tanzania: Adoption of the First Framework
Sadiki M Feruzi and Yang Li – September 2019 Page No.: 411-416
Purpose: The study basically aimed at examining implementation of competence based curriculum in Tanzania using the FIRST framework. The framework has been in practice in one way or another althoughit seems to be new by name in the field of education. Essentially, the framework includes all tools in teaching-learning process where learners are placed at the centre and fully engaged throughout learning journey. By adopting FIRST framework a teacher assumes a facilitation role of all learning activities through actively reviewing every step of learning activities.
Methodology: Regarding the nature of the topic, the study adopted qualitative approach to explore value, opinions and experiences related to teaching and learning in the course of implementing competence based curriculum. A specific method adopted wasreviewing secondary works.
Findings: Some teachers particularly those who had received FIRST framework trainings showed high capacity of implementing competence based curriculum. The study found that implementation of competence based curriculum is well captured through the FIRST framework. In this case more training about the FIRST framework is highly recommended for a smooth implementation of competence based curriculum.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Since implementation of competence based curriculum is very vital to improvement of education in the country the best way to carry it would be adoption of the FIRST framework which has shown positive impact. The study recommends more training of FIRST framework to teachers who are the focussed group meanwhile preparing enough teaching and learning resources. On going training programme to some Tanzanian teachers by SeGa group, the founder of FIRST framework should be strengthened and supported by the government for a greater impact.

Effect of the 21st Century Skills on the Performance of Students in Linear Transformations: A Case of Mukuba University, Kitwe District, Copperbelt Province, Zambia
Evans Musonda – September 2019 Page No.: 417-420
This study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of the 21st Century Skills on the performance of Students in Linear Transformations. The problem of poor performance of Second Year Students in Linear Algebra (MAT260), especially in Linear Transformations at Mukuba University has been a matter of concern. To solve this problem a study was conducted by the Researcher. The study population included all Second Year Students doing Linear Algebra (MAT 260)and pursuing a degree programme at Mukuba University. The study was based on one research question and two hypotheses. The research method used was an Experimental Design. The sample size was 60 Students comprising 43 male and 17 female Students. The Shapiro-wilk test was used because of the small sample size. The two groups were made from a homogeneous class at random. Particularly, 30 Students were assigned to the Experimental Group and 30 Students to the Control group. These two groups were subjected to a Pre-test. The Experimental group was lectured using the 21st Century Skills while the Control group was lectured using Conventional methods. The analysis of data was done with the help of SPSS, considering the mean and standard deviation. Then an Independent sample t-test was conducted at alpha (α) = 0.05 to analyse the results of the Post-test scores. The study showedthat there was a statistically significant mean difference in the Post-test scores for Experimental group (Mean = 56.67, standard deviation = 18.26) and the Control group (Mean = 42.67, standard deviation = 19.51), P = .006. Therefore, using 21st Century Skills in lecturing Linear Transformations was found to have a positive effect on Students’ performance.

Monitoring and Evaluation Training on Implementation of Community Projects; Case of Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority, Kenya
Kahuthia, R. W. M, Dr. Ochieng, D. O – September 2019 Page No.: 421-429
Monitoring and evaluation is vital for any project to be implemented effectively. In order to enhance the achievement of this effectiveness, certain factors have to be put into consideration. In Kenya, monitoring and evaluation is a new concept especially in the public sector and is slowly gaining momentum. It is for this reason that this study sought to investigate theeffects of monitoring and evaluation training on project implementation in Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority.The study was anchored on the Participatory Development Model and the Interdependence Theory. In a bid to attain the set objectives, the study adopted descriptive survey design. The target population for the study was 392 staff members of Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority. The study employed stratified and simple random sampling techniques to select a sample of 72 respondents sampled from members of staff from the sampled organisation and purposive sampling technique was employed to select 7 key informants who were heads of different departments in the organisation. Qualitative data was analysed thematically in narrations and descriptions while quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics, especially frequencies and percentages, with the assistance of the Statistical Data Analysis Package for Social Sciences. Analysed data was presented in tables of frequencies and percentages, graphs and charts. Analysed data indicated that 88.6% of respondents in the sampled organisation had not received training in monitoring and evaluation.The study recommends M&E training to be offered and highly prioritized and should be offered to all members of staff in the organisation regardless of the department they belong to and the position they hold in the organisation and proper structures need to be put in place. This will contribute positively to monitoring and evaluation in practice, policy and theory in the organization and elsewhere.

Hlengiwe Ntfombiyekhaya Magagula, Molyn Mpofu, Sithulisiwe Bhebhe – September 2019 Page No.: 435-442
Fashion and Fabrics is a discipline that is practically and theoretically oriented. Teacher competences in teaching Fashion and Fabrics practical component are of critical importance in imparting skills to the students. The purpose of this study was to ascertain teacher competences in teaching the Fashion and Fabrics practical component in Eswatini. The study was purely qualitative and descriptive in nature. Data were collected using face-to-face interviews and observation. The data were analysed using the thematic analysis. Findings of the study revealed that teachers had varying competencies in the sewing processes that they needed in order to impart skills to the students; teachers were competent in the construction and neatening of plain open and closed seams, preparing and attaching patch pocket, disposing of fullness in the construction of garments such as single pointed darts, pleats, gathers. Deficiencies were also noted in the application of openings and fasteners, that is, press studs, hook and eyes and attaching of sleeves. The study concludes that Fashion and Fabrics teachers had varying competencies in the sewing processes that they needed to impart skills to the students. This literally means that the teachers have the knowledge, skill and ability to impart these skills to the students to enable them to produce garments of a high standard. Hence, the study recommends that in-service training be undertaken to equip all Fashion and Fabrics teachers with the practical skills that they lack.

Intellectual Dialogue Between: Renewed “Muhaddith” Al-Imam Ibn Shihab Al-Zuhuri (124 A.H ) and Prominent “Orientalist”: Goldziher Ignas (1339 A.H)
Abdulmalik Sani – September 2019 Page No.: 446-450
Verily, science of hadith is one of the noblest profession comprehended by few among large number of Islamic scholars, however, Imam Al-zuhuri was not just one of those professionals but a famous one, he was one the sixth Hadith narrators whom most chains of Hadith passed through them. He devoid and exterminate his life in learning and spreading the authentic Sunnah as well as analyzing the fabricated, weaks Hadiths and criticizing their narrators. Imam Al-zuhri was not just a mere scholar, but one of the renewed philanthropic personage who spends a lot on his Hadith students. His trustiness, sureness cast him high reputation which make hadith narrators from different part of the world troops to narrate hadith from him. Imam Al-zuhri was a scholar blessed with vigorous memory and same time enjoyed marvelous respect and good relationship with the calipers of Umayyad emperor, this paved him more opportunities to easily spread the knowledge he’s blessed with. On other hand, GoldziherIgnas -one of the famous orientalist of his days- raised some issues and indictments against this scholar which can lead to overturning and dawn falling the respected status enjoyed by Imam Al-zuhuri. The factual stand point of Goldziher’s argument was not only the personality of Imam Al-zuhri, rather, the large number of hadith he had preserved and narrated for the Ummah; because trustiness and sound moralities are pre-requisite for hadith of any narrator to be accepted. Here comes the significance of this paper which is made-up of two parts: first briefly discussed life history of Imam Al-zuhri and Goldziher while other part aimed at analyzing the accusations linked to Al-zuhuri and finally came-up with sound epilogue that can either Exculpate or prove Imam Al-zuhuri culprit of the allegations.

Adequacy of Truth Commissions as Alternative to Criminal Prosecution: A Discourse
Emmanuel Agu Enna, Augustine Mogom Idom – September 2019 Page No.: 451-456
Despite the existence of criminal prosecution in tackling international crimes, other means of resolving international crimes has not been a thing of concern. Whereby, you find every aggrieved individual or society still approaching the international criminal court and seeking redress of an international crime committed against an individual or society. This paper examined what truth commissions are, the cases handled by truth commissions over the years, and also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of truth commissions. It also discusses the achievements recorded by truth commissions and compares the gains of criminal prosecution. It further examined the roles played by the international criminal court in handling cases brought before it. The study established that, most transitional periods or governments where heinous international crimes have been committed have opted to the use of both truth commissions and criminal prosecution in fact-finding and determination of the truth.

Impact of Leverage (Financial and Operating) on Corporate Performance of Selected Quoted Nigerian Manufacturing Firms
Abolade Akintola – September 2019 Page No.: 457-461
The aim of this paper is to study the effect of leverage on the corporate performance of listed manufacturing companies in the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) over a period of seven (7) years (2008-2014 for the selected companies). Leverage explained the use of borrowed money to make an investment and return on that investment. Financial leverage is commonly used in various circumstances as a means of altering the cash flow and financial position of a company. Since the objective of the firm is to increase the wealth of the shareholders, the best leverage policy is the one that increases the shareholders wealth by the greatest amount. It is therefore necessary to understand the nature of the relationship between leverage and value of the firm.
Ex-post facto research design was used for this study. The secondary data were obtained from the financial statements and Fackbooks published by the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). Leverage (financial, operating and combined leverage) as independent variable while price earnings ratio, fixed asset cover and return on capital employed as dependent variable. For testing the hypotheses of this study, linear regression technique has been used. All the hypotheses tested gave positive results. Thus, confirming that leverage has positive and significant effects on price earnings ratio, fixed asset cover and return on capital employed (ROCE). The study recommends that management of quoted firms in Nigeria consistently use debt capital in financing to improve price earnings ratio.

Locally Available Resources as an Instructional Aid in Secondary School Science in Kenya
Stella Kabesa – September 2019 Page No.: 462-465
Science is a practical subject that is relevant to all our lives. Instructional methods employed by science teachers are to a very large extent influenced by the kind of resources and facilities available in the school. The instructional methods, in turn, influence the level and quality of participation and performance in science by students. The study sought to identify the LAIRs, to find out if these LAIRs are used by the science teachers and to determine the relationship between availability and use of LAIRs by the science teachers. The study was carried out in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya. A sample of 33 biology teachers was randomly selected from 109 selected schools in the county. The major purpose of the study was to survey the nature and extent of LAIRs in Uasin-Gishu County which are useful in improving science teaching. Descriptive research design was used in this study. Data was collected using questionnaires, observation schedules for biology lessons and observation checklist. Data obtained was analysed using SPSS. Pearsons’ product correlation was used to determine the relationship between variables. Results indicated inadequate use of LAIRs in science teaching. This is attributed by teachers not being aware of the rich curriculum laboratory offered by the schools’ immediate environment. The other reason is due to large content to be covered within a specified time and also the highly examination oriented teaching. Pearson correlation ‘r’ value, (0.502) with a P value < 0.05 implied a significant positive relationship between availability and use of LAIRs. It is therefore recommended that science teachers undergo in-service training programs on use of LAIRs in schools as this will greatly impact on the acquisition of science process skills by students and improve the overall performance of science as a basis of future science oriented careers.

Survival Analysis of Under-Five Child Mortality and Its Associated Risk Factors in Northern Nigeria
Makanju. Adebayo.O., Alex .Uriri .E. – September 2019 Page No.: 466-478
National developmental indices in Nigeria make for a bleak reading; paramount among this is the high prevailing under-5 child mortality rates which as a continuum, is a major public health challenge. The polarization of childhood health outcomes across regions still persist, this reality is being exacerbated by social and economic inequalities. We attempt to investigate the impact of individual-level and community-level risk predictors associated with child survival in the Northern region of Nigeria. A population-based cross-sectional study design was employed to investigate under-five child risk factors, using data from the Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey (2013); Analysis was done using inferential statistics, and multi-level survival model. This study utilized an excellent predictive model which revealed that the likelihood of under-5 mortality in Northern Nigeria had an inverse relationship with the level of maternal education. After adjustment for individual-level and community-level predictors, most of the regional disparity in under-5 mortality was explained by differences in place of residence, population density and malaria prevalence. In the light of the findings, we posit that the realities of left behind children is endemic in Northern Nigeria and thus both individual-level and community-level based interventions should be effected in a bid to drastically elevate under-five child survival odds in this region. This paper extends on the literature of child mortality in Nigeria, by investigating the impact of individual-level and community-level risk predictors associated with child survival in Northern Nigeria.

Climate Change Resilience of Farmers of South West Coastal Bangladesh
Md. Abdur Razzaque, Muhammed Alamgir – September 2019 Page No.: 479-484
Resilience and vulnerability are very much interlinked with each other in context of climate change. Resilience is measured by subtracting indexed vulnerability from ability to absorb shocks. Multiple regression analysis is used to identify determinants of resilience. It is observed that resilience index is the highest for households that have lower vulnerability and decreases slightly with increasing vulnerability. About 11% of households have very high resilience while around 9% has very low resilience to climate change. Multiple regression analysis has showed that land holding, livestock, income from agriculture, radio/mobile, irrigation, saving, infrastructure like school and market significantly increases the resilience. The increase in land holding, on-farm and off-farm income, livestock and radio/mobile possession will increase the resilience with the coefficient of 0.47, 0.82, 0.96, 0.51 and 0.2 respectively having p-value of 0.00. Saving money will significantly increase the resilience with the coefficient of 0.11 and p-value of 0.09, nearness of infrastructure like school and market will significantly increase the resilience with the coefficient of -0.18 and -0.17, respectively with p-value of 0.03 and 0.02. The analysis shows that analyzing only from the perspective of vulnerability will only show the households as mere sufferer but will not capture their capability. Further understand from resilience point of view will also capture their capability to observe those shocks.

Exploring Levels of Teenage Premarital Sex and Pregnancy in Riana Division of Ndhiwa Sub-County, Kenya
Nyateko, Benard Dede, Ong’anyi, P. Obino, Agwanda, Alfred Otieno – September 2019 Page No.: 485-490
Teenage pregnancy has existed and is conceptualized as a social problem in many parts of the world. A recent report by the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey shows Kenya as one of countries with a large number of adolescent pregnancies in Africa. The situation could be worse in poor Counties in Kenya such as Homa Bay. This study sought to examine the level of premarital sex and the prevalence of teenage pregnancy in Riana Division of Ndhiwa Sub-County in Homa Bay County, Kenya. The study was based on the Psychosocial Theory and employed Cross-sectional survey design. Data was collected using questionnaires and in-depth interview techniques from a sample of 303 girls randomly selected from the study area. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and results presented in tables and figures. The study established that there is high prevalence of premarital sex and teenage pregnancy in Riana Division of Ndhiwa Sub County. Lack of parental guidance and support was highly blamed as parents reportedly do very little in sharing reproductive health information with their teenage children. The study recommends that alternative approaches may be necessary to reach out to the teenagers to help solve the problem of teenage pregnancy.

Impact of PBLA in the Instruction of LP in Comparison to the Traditional Methods: A Case Study of Kalonga Secondary School Grade 12 Learners
Teddy Malupande, Ellena Kumar – September 2019 Page No.: 491-507
The study was undertaken to explore theImpact of PBL in the Instruction of LPin Comparison to the Traditional Methods. The design used was a Pre-test and Post-test control group Quasi Experimental research design. This study involved two grade12 classes such that one was an experimental group (55 pupils) and the other class was a control group (56 pupils).
Before the treatment the two groups were given a pre-test in order to establish the equivalence as well as the homogeneity of the two groups and the post-test was used to assess the Impact of PBLA in Learning LP. The experimental group was treated with PBLA and the control group was taught using the traditional or lecture method. An achievement test was employed as the instrument which was given as a pre-test and post-test. A questionnaire was also used to determine the attitudes of the learners of the experimental group towards PBLA.
Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics: frequency, mean, standard deviation and skewness. Furthermore, data was analyzed using inferential statistics with independent sample t-test statistics and Mann -Whitney U test. The results of the study provided overwhelming evidence that the use of PBLA had an impact on learners in learning LP. After the intervention, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference in LP achievement post-test in favor of the experimental group and that gender factor did not affect the performance of students in the achievement of LP post-test. Moreover, the study found that experimental group students’ attitude towards learning LP through PBLA improved as well. The researcher concluded that PBLA was an effective Approach for teaching LP.

Reflections on the Feasibility of Addressing Water Crises in Urban Zimbabwe through Community-Based Management
Jeremiah Bvirindi, Cosmas Chikwawawa – September 2019 Page No.: 508-514
In some Zimbabwe’s urban areas, water shortages and its quality has become a perennial predicament that has claimed human life and inhibited economic development. A study by Nhapi (2009) revealed that the current problems have been caused by rapid population growth after independence in 1980, inadequate rehabilitation and maintenance of water and wastewater treatment plants, expensive technologies and a poor institutional framework.In this respect, the problem is two-fold that is, inadequate water quantity and poor water quality. In Harare, for instance, water quantity problems have been attributed to the inadequate pumping capacity at Morton Jaffrey Works and Prince Edward Water Treatment Works as observed by (Manzungu and Mabiza, 2004). The quality of drinking water on the other hand has been seriously affected as a result of deteriorating water quality in Lake Chivero. Erratic water supplies and poor sanitation mostly affect the poor as they do not have alternative means. Those who can afford can drill household boreholes or may resort to buying or transport it from other places. The majority however, are forced to dig shallow wells within their yards as was the practice in rural areas. This resulted in unprecedented cholera outbreak in 2008-9, 2017 and 2018, which claimed more than 4,400 lives according to Zimbabwe Government (2017).From UNICEF experience and studies, some community organizations in rural and urban areas have been successful in generating financial resources needed for the extension of services and in acting as providers of services through the operations and management of local utilities popularly known as Community Based Management (CBM). As a result Zimbabwe introduced the CBM concept in rural areas which became a successful initiative (UNICEF, 2003).The concept of community based approach is not new or unique to the water and sanitation sector. The approach has and is being implemented in forestry management, fisheries, game parks, HIV and AIDS programmes among others (OECD, 2015).Community Based approaches to services is supported by several international declarations. The Institute of Water and Sanitation Development (IWSD) (2015) argued that in Zimbabwe, like in many other African states, CBM has been accepted among policy makers, development practitioners, NGOs and developing country governments as the route to sustainable WASH interventions, but with an initial focus on water points only. IWSD gave evidence of steps towards the implementation of CBM in Zimbabwe which started in the early 1990s with a pilot project in Chivi district. By 1997, CBM had been extended to five other rural districts, namely, Makoni, Mutoko, Matobo, Kwekwe and Beitbridge. Experiences in these districts revealed that it was necessary to document some principles upon which CBM could be based and this was successfully done in 1997. CBM is also apparently a viable alternative in Zimbabwe’s urban centres, although it has not been fully implemented. This paper critically reflects on the feasibility of CBM water management in urban Zimbabwe.

Domestic Violence in Makoni District of Manicaland Zimbabwe (2000-2010)
Dr David Foya – September 2019 Page No.: 515-524
The topic was domestic violence and its impact children. The aim was to investigate impact of domestic violence on the children in schools. The objective of the study was to examine how domestic violence affects learning of children and assess the long term impact of domestic violence on the children even after school. Some of the research questions include how far does domestic violence affect children in their learning processes, to what extent does domestic violence have long term impact on children in their adult lives. The study adopted qualitative research design. The reason for the choice being that the study discussed feelings and emotions hence these could not be quantified. The respondents were sampled through purposive and the researcher used questionnaires and interviews to collect information from the respondents. The findings indicate that domestic violence is extremely common and has negatively affected both the parents and the children. The children are the worst affected both at school, socially and the impact is long term. The domestic violence has led to children both boys and girls to leave their homes in Makoni District and have resorted to prostitution, drug abuse, and other anti-social activities. This study concludes that schools in the district have lost children due to pregnancies, general drop out from schools. The department of Social Welfare has admitted that the challenges caused by economic meltdown and eviction of commercial farms in the district have completed matters and currently the government has no capacity to handle the challenges. This study therefore recommends government increases budgets for the Ministries of Health and Child Care, Ministry of Labour and Social Services as well as to Ministry of Small to Medium Enterprises so that these can assist several thousands of people who are affected in the district. In addition, the study recommends that Government should work with NGOs to try and improve the situation which is so dire since it has no capacity to handle the situation alone.

Effectiveness of the Induction Course in Education Management on Management Practices of Head Teachers in Public Primary Schools in Nairobi County
Joel Ongoto, Dr. Martin Ogola, Prof. Joseph Malusu – September 2019 Page No.: 525-538
To address gaps in management of public primary schools and provision of quality education, the Ministry of Education periodically supports head teachers of public primary schools to undertake induction courses in education management in order to improve management practices at school level. One of the many induction courses supported by the Ministry of Education and organised by Kenya Education Management Institute is the Induction Course in Educational Management. This course targets all education managers in public schools with the aim of improving management practices. Despite Kenya Education Management Institute conducting the induction course targeting school managers, poor management practices still are witnessed in many public primary schools. The research objective of this study was to examine the effect of induction preparation procedures by Kenya education management institute on effective management of public primary schools in Kenya. The study was anchored on Total Quality Management theory. Descriptive survey research design was employed. The target population for the study were ninety-six public primary schools head teachers, chairpersons of boards of management, senior teachers, subordinate staff members, school prefects and staff trainers from Kenya Education Management Institute. Simple random sampling was used to select the sample for this study. Data for the study was collected using structured questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics with the aid of the Statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer software. Results revealed that despite the fact that induction preparation procedures had a significant influence on effective management of public primary schools in Kenya, to a large extent, majority of the head teachers were not knowledgeable on the policy guidelines regarding preparation for in-service training. Policy preparation guidelines were unclear to head teachers and there were no clear follow-up mechanisms after the in-service training. The study recommends development of clear policies and guidelines on preparation of head teachers for in-service training. Kenya Education Management Institute should support the induction course as it had clear benefits for the targeted school managers and to put in place evaluation mechanisms of all its in-service training programmes targeting school managers.

The Nexus of Gender and Political Participation: An Appraisal of Factors Militating Against Women in Politics in Benin Metropolis, Nigeria
Boris Happy ODALONU – September 2019 Page No.: 539-548
Patriarchalism culture and gender discrimination in Nigeria political structure has given concession to under-representation and indolent participation of women in politics. This paper examined the factors militating against women in politics in Benin metropolis. Using cultural lag theory, survey design was adopted and data were collected through triangulation of quantitative and qualitative methods. Specifically, an 18-item Likert scale questionnaire was used to elicit responses from 450 respondents while 10 in-depth interviews were conducted. Data collected through questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentages and mean) while qualitative data were content analyzed. The findings revealed that majority of women were not active in politics. Financial resources, socio-cultural inhibitions, family responsibilities, child bearing, lack of family support and lack of enabling opportunities were the major factors reported by women militating against their participation in politics. Few women who hold political key positions affirmed that their participation in politics brought positive impact in their communities. This paper submits that the prospects of Nigerian women in politics are optimistic if some of these factors highlighted above can be addressed. Women should be empowered in their political participation pursuits to enhance their contribution to viable political development in Nigeria, especially at the grassroots’ communities.

Rwandan Refugees in Uganda: Livelihood, Security and Rights
Uwineza Mimi Harriet, Assoc. Prof Asiimwe Godfrey, Dr. Karungicharlotte Mafumbo- September 2019 Page No.: 549-554
Rwanda has experienced a protracted conflict since 1959 due to a violent political crisis that originates from pre-colonial social inequalities, which were formalized by Germans and Belgian colonizers into estranged ethnic identities. The first exodus of mostly Batutsi refugees fled into the countries of the Great Lakes Region of East Africa in the late 1959. These refugees went mainly into Burundi, Tanzania, Zaire (current Democratic Republic of Congo) and Uganda. Those who entered Uganda were allocated refugee settlements, Nakivale being one of the biggest and oldest area where they settled. The cultural similarities between Batutsi and Bahima of Ankore region led to an easy integration and their fate was tied to that of Banyankore, whose Uganda National Resistance rebel movement recruited frustrated refugees and together, they took over power in 1986.
Becoming part of the new leadership in Uganda, some prominent Rwandan refugees started organizing their kin in the Rwandan Patriotic Front, a rebel movement that attacked in October 1990 and took over Rwanda in 1994, after ending the genocide. As mostly Batutsi refugees repatriated; majority Bahutu refugees fled Rwanda. This research focuses on urban and settlement Rwandan refugees, divided into the old case load that fled between 1959 up to the major repatriation of 1994; while the new caseload is the one that starts with the end of the genocide of 1994 up to 2018. Through Thematic analysis, our research found out that denial of naturalization, kidnappings, murders, loss of dignity, forced repatriation; porous borders and refugee manipulation for political capital are some of the threats to the security, rights and livelihood of Rwandan refugees. The implementation of all durable solutions to Rwandan refugees, genuine implementations of Uganda’s refugee open policy and sustainability framework, in addition to open political space led by the rule of law in the home country would solve the persistent refugee phenomenon of Rwandans and pave way to sustainable peace in the Great Lakes Region of East Africa.

A Cross-Examination on Role Strain and Academic Performance of Female University Students in Masvingo, Zimbabwe
Lokadhia Manwa, Jenet Mudekunye and Lilian Manwa – September 2019 Page No.: 555-561
The purpose of this study was to interrogate the impact of role strain on academic performance of female university students. The consistent rise in the number of married and working female students in Zimbabwe demands an accurate and detailed investigation into the link between role strain, well-being and academic performance. A qualitative approach and a descriptive phenomenological design was adopted and conducted among a sample of thirty participants (twenty-five undergraduate female students and five lecturers) at one of the universities in Masvingo Province. Student participants were randomly selected while lecturers were purposefully chosen. Participating students were interviewed and completed an open-ended questionnaire that included questions related to their roles and well-being. All lecturer participants were interviewed. Outcomes of this study indicated that the majority of the students were negatively affected by role strain. This led to impaired diets (poor dietary patterns) as well physical and mental exhaustion. Most students showed to be ‘unsatisfactory’ with their assignments and examination grades. More than half of the students reported skipping breakfast and jumbled meals due to busy schedules. Ultimately, the study concluded that role strain led to poor dietary patterns and consequently affected negatively the well-being and academic performance of the students. However, developing healthy habits, specific programmes for promoting female students healthy lifestyle needed improvement and those were major recommendations of the study.

An Investigation into the Impact of Consumer Perception on Compliance to EMA Regulations: The Case of Hatcliffe Residential Area-Harare (2010-2015)
Dr David Foya, Rujeko Lynette Mpandanyama – September 2019 Page No.: 602-613
The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of consumer perception on compliance to environmental management regulations using the case of Hatcliffe residential area (2010-2015). The objectives were to assess factors affecting perception and explore consumer perceptions of regulation, to investigate the characteristics of the processes that stimulate these perceptions and the nexus between communication and perception, to analyse the development and enforceability of Zimbabwe’s Environmental Management Regulations.This study was based on an exploratory research design as it deals with perceptual and regulatory variables and explored the various perceptions of consumers and the executive in the Hatcliffe area in interpretation and implementation of EMA regulations and the possible impact of these perceptions on their compliance to the regulations. The researchers used questionnaires and interviews to collect data for the study. Researchers sampled 4% of the population which is 300 participants. The study found out that Hatcliffe residents mostly comprehend environmental issues through consequences of past experience. Most are knowledgeable of environmental issues in the area while some have shown no interest in some of the issues at hand. Telecommunication companies have also made an impact in imparting knowledge to consumers through their bulk messages which encourage consumers to conserve the environment. Policy makers and implementing bodies were recommended to conduct awareness campaigns to educate and impart knowledge on consumers to enable them to understand the different aspects of the environmental management legislation.

Peer Influence and Negative Parental Attitude as Determinants of Academic Underachievement among Secondary School Adolescents in Polygamous Families in Lagos State
Afusat Olanike Busari PhD., Oluyede Afolabi Hope – September 2019 Page No.: 614-619
This study investigated peer influence and negative parental attitude as determinants of academic underachievement among secondary school adolescents in polygamous families in Lagos State. The study adopted ex-post facto design, while multi- stage sampling techniques was used to select three hundred and sixty (360) students. To measure academic underachievement, the average score of respondents in 2018/2019 first and second term examinations in English and Mathematics was used. Other instruments used include Peer Influence (r=0.71) and Parental Attitude Scales (r=0.76). Three research questions were formulated and tested to guide the study. The data collected was analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and Multiple Regression Analysis. The study revealed that peer influence (r= .981**) and negative parental attitude (r= .975**) had significant relationship with academic underachievement. The result also showed that peer influence (β = 0.395, t = 11.29, P < 0.01) was the most potent contributor to the prediction of academic underachievement. Recommendations were made on how to ameliorate academic underachievement among secondary school adolescents.

Quality Parents: An Elixir for Quality Education and Sustainable Development
Barr. (Mrs) Mary L. Effiong Ph.D, Prof. Daniel I. Denga – September 2019 Page No.: 620-623
The nature and quality of education is being fundamentally altered by a number of different factors like policy initiatives, incessant conflict and crisis as well as series of different forms of strikes irrespective of the fact that, the overall development of any nation is extricable tied to its educational system. This is predicated on the fact that, through education; children are prepared for good citizenship in order to fit adequately into the society. This preparation has to do with inculcating good morals, trainings, guidance, principles and values into them. But it is worthy of mention that, it is no longer a secret but a statement of truth that, recent times has witnessed fall in education quality to the extent o f affecting development due to parental influence as education/ learning starts from home through parental teachings, instructions, guidance and examples.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate selected variables like family self-concept and locus of control of parents which have obviously influenced the parents who require counselling as an elixir for combating substandard education while promoting sustainable development. The researcher adopted an ex-post factor design to elicit responses from a sample of 1500 (25%) of a population of 6010 civil servants in Akwa Ibom State.
A purposive sample was affected since the parents were obviously identified. Two null hypotheses were postulated and tested after the research. Questions were asked about the extent to which parental quality has impeded quality of education and sustainability of development.
It was found that:
1. Family Self-concept significantly influenced the quality of education and sustainability of development.
2. Locus of control significantly influenced the quality of education and sustainability of development.
The researcher went ahead to put down the following recommendations;
1. Counsellors should embark on community counselling periodically in order to educate and enlighten parents to know their position as intermediate beings between children (Students) and teachers then their expected roles for quality education and development sustainability.
2. Counselors should educate the parents on what Locus of control is, the types of which are the internal and external locus of control and enlighten them on how internal Locus of control can promote quality education and development sustainability whereas external Locus of control can hinder quality education and development sustainability.
