Without doubt, the English language is regarded by the citizenry as the language...

Since the 1980s, the demographic literature has suggested that maternal schooling plays a key role in determining children's chances of survival in low- and middle-income countries; however, few studies have successfully identified a causal relationship between maternal education and under-5 mortality.

This study used Ghana Meteorological Agency's climate data from 1989 to 2015, to assess the characteristics and trends of...
