Investments in schooling are often regarded as essential for economic development, which implies that such investments have high rates of return in developing countries. This paper examines the accuracy and usefulness of estimates of rates of return to formal schooling based on the standard human capital model of Becker and Mincer. Regarding accuracy, it investigates whether failure to account for differences in ability and school quality across a random sample significantly biases estimates...

As usual, we are delighted to publish accounts of developments overseas. We feel this article, on South Africa, will be of particular interest to our readers. Lena Green is an educational psychologist and experienced teacher‐trainer and in an excellent position to comment on the changes taking place in her country at this present, turbulent time. Her contrast in the provision for white and black pupils is particularly illuminating. As South Africa moves relentlessly towards dramatic...

Abstract An analysis was undertaken of range conditions in the Botswana Kalahari during the 1980-1987 drought. Information from Landsat MSS print and tape data was field-checked both aerially and on the ground through two wet seasons. Comparison of 327 field and digitized aerial photograph sites with spectral data on MSS4, 5 and 7 in relation to hues on Landsat colour composite print data revealed three main spectral-vegetation types. Type 1 darkened areas comprise green tree and shrub...

We examine mechanisms of lithospheric growth and modes accommodating subcrustal convergence following the cessation of subduction, by analyzing the seismicity and upper‐mantle velocities in the New Guinea arc‐continent collision. Earthquakes in the Papua New Guinea (PNG) region from 1967 to 1984 have been relocated in a joint inversion with seismic velocities, using P and S wave arrival times recorded by seismographs in PNG. A total of 957 well‐recorded earthquakes were chosen for use in...

A study examined factors contributing to the decline in numbers of African-American teachers, with four objectives: (1) to identify factors encouraging and discouraging them to consider teaching as a career; (2) to determine differences in their perceptions by background variables; (3) to determine factors influencing them to leave the profession; and (4) to identify recommendations for recruitment and retention of African-American teachers. From 1989-1990, researchers gathered data from 64...

The Subukia Valley earthquake in East Africa, magnitude 6.9, occurred on 1928 January 6. This is a little known earthquake associated with a 38 km long surface break that showed normal faulting with a small component of left lateral motion. Maximum throw was 240cm with an average along the rupture of less than 100cm. The earthquake triggered rockfalls and minor landslides and exhibited long-period effects at large distances. Considering the magnitude of the earthquake, the amount of damage...

In a four-year period (1984 to 1987) a total of 141 Nigerian women who had instrumental vaginal deliveries at term in the Obstetric unit of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, were studied. Out of this number 79 had forceps delivery while 62 had vacuum extraction. The forceps delivery rate had fluctuated between 0.11% and 0.46% while the vacuum extraction rate had steadily increased from 0.08% to 0.39% (Table 1) in our unit over the 4-year period. With the exception of fetal...

A nurse from the US worked as a community health nurse with the Mennonite Central Committee in East Africa from 1981-1983. She addressed the importance of health care providers being able to incorporate the context of culture, religion, and socioeconomic status into identifying health care needs and intervention. This was complicated by differences in values and beliefs between the urban and rural populations. Many people believed that spirits of the dead influence their behavior and sense...
