THE CHALLENGE OF ACHIEVING GENDER EQUALITY IN NIGERIAN EDUCATION: HINDRANCES FACED BY GIRLS IN SCHOOL

Heavy metal concentrations in surface sediments collected from 17 stations samples in Bizerte coastal line were determined in order to evaluate the contamination status in the region. Heavy metal concentrations (mg/kg) of Bizerte coast line followed the decreasing trend of Fe > Pb > Zn > Mn > Cu > Cr > Ni > Co > Cd. The pollution degree of the surface sediment collected from 17 samples station in Bizerte coast line by heavy metals was evaluated on the basis of pollution indices (EF, Igeo,...

Women's access to employment is a key issue in the fight against their vulnerability because of its impact on human and economic development. However, one of the most widely proposed solutions within the framework of the INDH (National Initiative for Human Development) program is the cooperative. Indeed, the latter has opened up great horizons, on the one hand, for the creation of economic and social projects whose main ambition is to improve living conditions and, on the other hand, for the...

Abstract The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) is a movement that promotes the Islamic identity of Muslims in Nigeria’s educational institutions. Despite promoting the same objectives around the country, a comparison of the MSSN’s activities between the northern and southern regions of Nigeria suggests that the success of the movement varies in many aspects. This is because there are two main types of regional variation relating to the MSSN: the success of Christian opposition to...

In Morocco, droughts are an increasing threat affecting water availability, agricultural production and producers' livelihoods. Moreover, water demand for irrigation has led to overexploitation of the groundwater table causing significant natural resource management challenges. The combination of groundwater changes and increasing drought risk raises concerns about the ability of agricultural producers to be resilient against drought. In this study, we describe the interactions of...

The aim of this study was to explore perceptions and understanding of the impact of drug and psychoactive substance abuse among Secondary School students Kilolo district of Iringa Tanzania. The study was guided by the following specific objectives: to identify the commonly used psychoactive drug and substances; to explore students’ perceptions on psychoactive substance use; to examine students’ knowledge of the impact of psychoactive substance abuse on academic achievement; and to explore...

Covid-19 remains a global pandemic threatening hundreds of countries in the world. The impact of Covid-19 has been felt in almost every aspect of life and it has introduced globally, a new normal of livelihood. This global pandemic has triggered unparalleled global health and economic crisis. Therefore, modelling and forecasting the dynamics of this pandemic is very crucial as it will help in decision making and strategic planning. Nigeria as the most populous country in Africa and most...

Here we present an optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) age estimate of 64 ± 5 ka for an offshore aeolianite and draw regional correlations (within 45 km) between the Pleistocene geological sequence offshore of the Durban Bluff, and contemporary palaeoenvironmental records from Sibudu on the South African sub-tropical east coast. Considering this age estimate within the context of high-resolution hydroacoustic data and, in particular, sub-bottom profiles, we tentatively suggest phases of...

In the face of climate change, drought monitoring and characterisation is indispensable in arid and semi-arid areas.This paper represents a metrological drought assessment in the Ziz watershed located in south-eastern Morocco, through the application of four meteorological indices: rainfall anomaly index (RAI), percentage of normal index (PNI), standardized precipitation index (SPI), z-score index (ZSI).Based on rainfall data series from four stations over a time scale of 37 years (from...

Through professional guidelines, standards and statements, the field of library and information science has voiced its commitment to under-served and marginalized patrons, especially Black and African-American students. For such statements to be realized, the needs and experiences of these students must be clearly understood. Thus far, Black and African-American students remain among the most under-researched and least understood populations. This article critically examines these students'...
