The Impact

Studies indicate that there is a continuous relation between illicit mining and children’s education. This study therefore, sought to examine the ramification of illicit mining on school dropout in the Asante Akim Central Municipality, Ghana. The correlational research design was used in the study. The purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select the respondents. A sample size of 360 was chosen for the study. Linear regression, ANOVA and standard deviation were used to analyse the data. The study found the three leading factors that accounted for students to enter into illicit mining to be Poverty (M=3.9222, SD=1.19169), perceived lack of employment opportunities after school (M=3.5972, SD=1.42657) and disinterest towards schooling (M=3.5611, SD=1.38501). The study further found a significant positive relationship between illicit mining and school dropout (R = 0.178, p < 0.05), students’ academic performance (R=.206, p < 0.05,) and health risk and diseases (R=.312, p < 0.05). Effective implementation of legal framework to prevent children of school-going age from mining activities is imperative to ameliorate this educational menace. Again, vocational and technical education must be intensified to give such students employable skills in the shortest possible time.

The Impact

<div><p><em>Education systems in the world today are acting as the main agents for social change. Learners attending this systems are always away from their parents and other elderly people who would help them cope with challenges they face. This has necessitated inclusion of guidance and counselling department services in most institutions. In Kenya the government introduced this in all learning institutions. Even with this, students studying in Institutes of Technology in Nyanza province in Kenya display a host of problems ranging from poor academic performance to low self-esteem, which drive them to open drunkenness, skipping of classes, stealing other people’s property, sexual misconduct and actual or attempted suicide. The problems exist despite the fact that guidance and counselling programmes are in place in these institutions. The purpose of this study therefore was to establish the impact of attitudes and facilities in effective implementation of guidance and counselling programmes in the Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) institutions in Nyanza province. The study employed the descriptive survey research design. It was carried out in Moi Institute of Technology (MIT) and Gusii Institute of Technology (GIT). The target population constituted of principals, the teacher counsellors and the students of the two institutions. Each institution had two teacher counsellors. MIT had 600 students and GIT had 1800 students making a total of 2400. The sample size was made of 2 principals, 4 teacher counsellors and 240 students. Purposive sampling was used to select the principals and the teacher counsellors. Stratified random sampling and simple random sampling were used to select the student’s sample. Data was collected using questionnaires and it was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the study indicated that the major challenge facing effective implementation of guidance and counselling programs in the Institutes of Technology (ITs) was lack of sufficient facilities due to poor support by the principals and Board of Governors (BOG). The researcher therefore recommends that there is need for all principals of ITs in Nyanza to be taken through a thorough and informative training on the importance of giving full support to guidance and counselling programs in their institutions. There is also need to work towards changing the negative attitude towards guidance and counselling held by some students.</em></p></div>

Level Of Significance

This study was tailored to investigate the implementation of instructional supervision and its relationship with teachers’ performance in public secondary schools in Nandi North Sub County. Descriptive-correlational research design was adopted and the Instructional Supervision and teachers’ Performance Questionnaire was used to obtain relevant data from 187 teachers in 15 selected Public Secondary schools using the simple random sampling techniques. Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank-order correlation coefficient at 0.05 level of significance were used to determine the data generated and answer the research questions. The study reveals that the extent of implementation of instructional supervision in lesson preparation, preparation of assessment materials, lesson implementation and innovation and creativity was good. There is no significant relationship between instructional supervision in lesson preparation (rho=.679), preparation of assessment materials (rho=.072), innovation and creativity in teaching (rho=.627) and teachers’ performance based on TPAD scores. There is a significant inverse and weak relationship between teachers’ performance based on TPAD scores and instructional supervision in lesson implementation (rho = -0.152, p = .038 < .05). It is therefore recommended that the Principals should continue executing the instructional supervision in order to ensure that teachers maintain their good performance.

Several factors are important determinants of students achievement. Students positive perceptions about these factors contribute to their achievement. Considering importance of students perceptions about themselves, teachers support, and institutional climate in influencing their academic achievement, this study specifically examines students perceptions about themselves as learners, teachers support, and institutional climate for predicting their achievement. This research employed survey and correlational research designs. For this research, 372 students were randomly selected as a sample using cluster and stratified random sampling techniques. For data collection in this study, a questionnaire was adapted from Donahue (1994). For data analysis, both descriptive and inferential statistics were used, with help of SPSS. It was concluded from multiple regression analysis that university students achievement (i.e., dependent variable) can be significantly predicted from their self-perceptions, teachers support and institutional climate (i.e., independent variables).
