Precisely because Zambians were so educationally disadvantaged during the colonial period, the provision of schooling was given high priority by the post‐independence government. Education was seen as a right, as one of the fruits of independence, as well as a means by which the skills necessary to promote development could be imparted. While enormous strides were made, enormous difficulties were also encountered. As Musambachime notes, high rates of population growth necessarily put...

ABSTRACT: Following major quantitative expansions of the educational system in Swaziland during the two decades since independence, the focus has shifted to improving efficiency. Efficiency of any educational system depends mainly on the characteristics of children entering school. Although Swaziland is not among the poorest countries, infant child mortality rates still reflect less than optimum living conditions and parental knowledge of child nutrition and disease prevention and...

In a previous study (Olojugba & Lennon, 1987) of 5 and 12-year-old children residing in Ondo State, Nigeria, it was shown that caries had increased (1977 to 1983) in children of both age groups in higher social class families; caries had also increased in the 12-year-old children but not in those aged 5 year olds among lower social class families. The object of the present study was to examine sugar consumption in samples of children of the same age groups drawn from the same population. One...

While the proportions of their age group in school at primary, secondary and tertiary levels is quite high for black South Africans, relative to the situation in other African states, they face an authoritarian education system which is still riven by inequality. The expansion of education for all groups has formed part of the strategy of the government both to create skills needed for the economy and, through limited individual improvement, to stave off black discontent. That the policy has...

Microfilariae were found in blood samples of a 32 year-old-student from Guinea-Bissau (Africa). Based on parasite morphology as well as some other features the microfilariae were identified as Mansonella perstans. The course of infection was asymptomatic (except for slight urticarial skin lesions). The microfilariae disappeared from peripheral blood after mebendazole treatment (200 mg daily for 1 month).

However, those subjects who had more conservative scores on measures of sociopolitical attitudes and traditionalism achieved higher...

An article by Stephen Thornton in "Hospital and Health Services Review" in 1984 ended with a challenge to the unwary: "Could we as members of a highly developed profession in the United Kingdom assist our colleagues in Zimbabwe to acquire the necessary skills to become a thriving profession in a health care system so clearly modelled on our own?" Allan McNaught found himself in a situation where he was able to take up the challenge. This article outlines his experience in Zimbabwe, over...
