Headline SOUTH AFRICA: Education plans risk undermining targets

How does climate change affect the risk and dynamics of violent conflict? Existing research shows that climate change can increase the risk of violent conflict and significantly alter the dynamics of existing conflicts. Less is known about the exact mechanisms through which climate change affects violent conflict. In this article, we address this lacuna in light of the first systematic review of both quantitative and qualitative scholarship. Through an analysis of forty-three peer-reviewed...

This paper uses the implementation of Ghana’s Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education (FCUBE) in 1996 as a natural experiment to investigate the causal effect of female education on adolescent fertility and early marriage. Girls who were exposed to the reform had more education, higher age at first marriage, and low fertility than girls who were not exposed to the reform. We find that the effect of the reform on adolescent fertility and early marriage decreases with age, and that the...

Drought is a creeping phenomenon whose effects evolve with time, yet the start and end is often only clear in the hindsight. The present study assessed drought conditions using two categories of drought indicators computed from precipitation data sets measured by weather stations across the Western Cape Province, South Africa for the period 1985 to 2016. The first category was the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) accumulated over 3-, 6- and 12-months (hereafter of SPI-3, SPI-6 and...

Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a country made up of 22 provinces and has a population of over 7 million people, with over 852 known languages between them. The country itself is drastically different between each region, with landscapes varying between mountainous in some parts and low lying seaside in others. Previous research has indicated that persons who live in certain regions or have certain genetic backgrounds may have superior physiological and anthropometric characteristics compared to...

This work aims to evaluate future water availability in the Mékrou catchment under climate change scenarios. To reach this goal, data from Regional Climate Models (RCMs) were used as the input for four rainfall-runoff models which are ModHyPMA (Hydrological Model based on Least Action Principe), HBV (Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning), AWBM (Australian Water Balance Model), and SimHyd (Simplified Hydrolog). Then the mean values of the hydro-meteorological data of three different...

Examination is an assessment intended to measure student’s knowledge, skills and ability. Irrespective of the form of assessment administered to students to ascertain their performance, students are given a specific time to be spent in the examination hall. Students are highly unlikely to spend the same amount of time finishing their assessments and scoring the same point or mark after they have been assessed. There are some factors that influence student’s examination scores. These include...
