Information Technology in Nigeria Education - Akinyemi, Kunle (1987)
The alarming rate at which technology continues to expand poses concern to many developing countries. Concern is not based on the need to catch-up with developed countries but on the need to keep abreast and benefit from the fruits of technological developments. Today there is an information explosion which the dearth of requisite resources has turned into a knowledge implosion in many developing countries. Information technology (IT) is a multi-dimensional discipline which may be expensive when viewed from the ‘hi-tech’ perspective. In this paper, the current state of the art in Nigeria is briefly considered with a view to proposing some alternative, more practical approach to IT. The proposed new approach, which is ‘lo-tech’, may in the long run be suitable and appropriate for education in other developing countries as well. Developing relevant and simple information systems in higher education may also bring IT to the doorsteps of researchers and educators. Many problems and issues of IT in Nigeria are discussed as these may militate against its meaningful practice. The paper concludes with a consideration of the future of IT in Nigeria.

The Evaluation of a Nigerian Primary Teacher Education Programme - Akpe, C.S. (Journal of Education for Teaching, 1987)
Abstract A pre‐service Nigerian teacher education programme was evaluated to determine the degree of congruence among the perceptions of major interest groups involved in the programme. Twenty‐one programme lecturers, 106 students, 162 graduates and 51 employers were involved. A five point Likert‐type 30 item rating scale was used to collect data which were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The respondents unanimously agreed on 12 favourably oriented variables, unanimously disagreed on four and expressed mixed opinions on 14. Possible explanations of these findings and their implications for the improvement and development of primary teacher education programmes are discussed.

Medical students’ attitude to general studies in the University of Benin, Nigeria - Alakija, Wole; Odetola, A. A.; Okojie, H. O. (Medical Education, 1987)
Summary. The academic curriculum of the University of Benin includes some compulsory courses for all students in the first year of admission. These courses, referred to as general studies, cover some aspects of English language, Nigerian history and culture, humanities, science and technology. Since the introduction in 1975 of this programme in the university various views have been expressed on the necessity, effectiveness, suitability, relevance and reaction of students to the programme. This investigation was therefore carried out to find out the views of the medical students about the programme. The results show that our medical students regard the programme as useful, effective and relevant to their medical education and should be continued. They also suggested some modifications and improvement in some aspects of the programme.

Acess to Legal Education and the Legal Profession in Zimbabwe. - Austin, Reg (The Zimbabwe Law Review, 1987)
Consistent with the.discrimination against black citizens which characterized Rhodesian settler rule, access to legal education and the legal profession was deliberately and almost totally denied to blacks until Zimbabwe’s independence in 1980. This fact, combined with the exodus, particularly of whites in the legal branches of the civil service, resulted in the democratically elected government having to take radical measures to deal with the situation. One aspect of this was the establishment of crash courses, initially taught.largely by academics in the Law Department of the University of Zimbabwe to specially recruited students who would not have qualified for normal entry to the University. These were destined to fill posts as prosecutors and magistrates in the Magistrates’ Courts and as presiding officers in the newly created Community Courts.

Combating Coastal Pollution in Ghana - Biney, Charles A. (Coastal Zone '87, 1987)
Studies conducted along the Gulf of Guinea in Ghana have shown that the coastal environment in some places is polluted. Efforts made to combat this problem have so far not been effective and recent data indicate an increase in pollution of the coastal zone. To reverse this trend, a multidisciplinary approach has been suggested. This is based on the use of a national focal point as a coordinating agency, formulation and enforcement of legislation, provision of effluent treatment and refuse disposal facilities and dispersal of industries linked to a reversal of the rural to urban migration trend. The need for monitoring and general surveillance of the environment as well as for public education is also stressed.

Girls and Science Education in Nigeria - Bolarin, T. A. (Journal of Negro Education, 1987)
Many science teachers in Nigeria are aware of the relatively low numbers of female students studying the physical sciences (physics and chemistry) in the last two years of secondary education and at the postsecondary level. In a study conducted by the author,' female secondary-school students cited reasons for their not choosing to enroll in science courses (excluding biology and health science, either of which is made rather compulsory by the West African Examination Council). Three reasons with the highest frequency were: (1) science subjects, are to understand, (2) science subjects are hard, and (3) science subjects are mainly for male students. It should be noted that difficult as used in that study is different in meaning from hard according to the respondents' usage of the terms. In the case of job choice, research findings2 have shown that girls generally opt for careers such as nursing, teaching at the primaryschool level, and clerical work while boys generally choose sciencerelated and highly demanding prestigious careers such as medicine and engineering. However, a recent study3 found that urban girls tend to have identical choice of jobs as their male counterparts, and that both groups showed preferences for engineering, medicine, and teaching (see Table I). This particular finding, therefore, tends to show that no biological basis accounts for the low achievement and representation of girls in the sciences.

Gender differences and achievement in Liberian primary school children - Boothroyd, Roger A.; Chapman, David W. (International Journal of Educational Development, 1987)
A recent educational project in Liberia provided the opportunity to test the claim that programmed teaching and programmed instructional materials could improve student achievement over more conventional approaches and at the same time minimize gender-related achievement differences. The study examined gender differences in English and mathematics achievement in grades 1, 2 and 3 across three instructional approaches used in Liberia. The results of the analyses indicate that (1) on the average across the three grades, students in the programmed teaching approach significantly outperformed students in both comparison groups on both the mathematics and English achiievement tests, (2) boys generally outperformed girls in both mathematics and English, and (3) the greatest gender differences in achievement occurred among students in the programmed teaching approach.

Alteration of Late Middle Proterozoic Volcanics and its Relation to Stratabound Copper-Silver-Gold Mineralization Along the Margin of the Kalahari Craton in Swa/Namibia and Botswana - Borg, Gregor; Maiden, K. J. (Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1987)
Summary Metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks of late Middle Proterozoic age are preserved in basins along the northern margin of the Kalahari Craton. Three broad stratigraphic divisions are recognized: a lower acid extrusive unit, a basic extrusive/red bed unit and a shallow marine unit. The basalts of the basic extrusive/red bed unit are interpreted to be continental within-plate basalts. Copper mineralization occurs as native copper in amygdaloidal altered basalt, and as sediment-hosted, stratiform sulphide deposits at the base of the shallow marine unit. The rocks have been strongly altered during regional metamorphism which reached temperatures up to 350°C. Massive domains were metamorphosed to oligoclase-chlorite-epidote-haematite rocks. In permeable zones such as flow top breccias, amygdaloidal zones, and regions of secondary, tectonically induced fracturing, the basalts have been altered to epidote-quartz-chlorite-haematite-muscovite rocks. During this epidote alteration copper, zinc and cobalt were leached from the basalts, thus providing a possible metal source for the sediment-hosted deposits. A model for multiphase ore genesis is presented in which basalt alteration is the main metal source for epigenetic mineralization.

The evolution of training and visit in Somalia - Chapman, N.P. (Agricultural Administration and Extension, 1987)
The evolution of a professional extension force in Somalia since 1979 is described, and in particular the way in which the Training and Visit system of extension management has been adapted to local circumstances. A number of key extension issues are addressed in the light of empirical evidence drawn from this account. In particular, the lack of effective research to provide valid cropping messages, particularly in the non-irrigated areas, is an important drawback. While the goals in the first phase of the extension project have been modest, with an emphasis on training, institutional development and on extension work in selected areas, the success of the subsequent phases will turn on the ability of the project to manage a larger and more diversified programme where audio-visual methods, on-farm research, and project monitoring are more effectively used. In the broader context, the supply of inputs and the need to maintain attractive farmgate prices are issues which the national government must address if the extension effort is not to be seriously undermined.

The Kordofan earthquakes, central Sudan - Clark, Roger A.; Browne, Sally-Ann (Journal of African earth sciences (1983), 1987)
Geophysical studies have revealed extensive rift systems throughout Central Africa, among them the White Nile Rift runnng SE-NW across central Sudan. Few earthquakes have been detected teleseismically in areas of Sudan away from the East African or Red Sea Rift systems. Relocations presented here confirm three earthquakes to have occurred at shallow depth at the NW extreme of the White Nile Rift, around Jebel Dumbeir, Kordofan province. Ambiguity in a teleseismic P-wave first-motion solution for the 9 October 1966 0648GMT event is resolved by use of the P/pP/sP relative amplitude method. The fault plane is near-vertical, striking to 005–025° with a downthrow to the SE and a minor sinistral strike-slip component. This is consistent with ground deformation and location of an aftershock. Its downthrow direction appears to reflect subsidence of the White Nile Rift and central Sudan. Its strike is common with present-day activity in the Ethiopian Rift, suggesting that a near ESE-WSW stress regime persists across central and southern Sudan.

Explorations in drama, theatre and education : a critique of theatre studies in South Africa. - Dalrymple, Lynn (1987)
This dissertation explores the potential of theatre studies to develop a pragmatic and relevant pedagogy for South African students and adults. The contention is that the dominant paradigm as conceptualized in the discipline ‘Speech and Drama’ is outdated. Section One offers a critique of this paradigm and an analysis of the premises that supported its foundation and consolidation in English-language South African Universities. Following this a search is instituted for a methodology of theatre studies which is both appropriate to present circumstances and which could encompass all South Africans. In Section Two, a survey of theories of performance is undertaken because a methodology of theatre studies is, of necessity, linked to performance theory. The pioneering contributions of some South African scholars are explained and evaluated as part of a larger body of theoretical analysis in both the humanities and the social sciences. In Section Three, the search for a methodology is approached from a different angle. The researcher offers a detailed descriptive analysis of her own work in the Department of Speech and Drama at the University of Zululand both among students and in a nearby rural community. This serves to explore the kinds of learning that occur through practical involvement in drama, theatre and specifically playmaking. These learning processes are related to the distinctive functions in drama and theatre, namely the heuristic, communicative and interpretative functions. The work is connected to progressivist trends in education and participatory research in the field of adult education. One of the intentions behind the work was, indeed, to challenge commonsense perceptions and discover the extent to which individuals are ‘victims of their own biography’. This challenge is specifically related to anti-feminist, racist and class perceptions. The dissertation concludes with recommendations for a learner-centred approach to theatre studies that is rooted in personal experience and consciously mediated through refined and extended conceptual categories. The tension between the development of students’ analytical powers and communicative skills is explored and a semiotic approach to analysis is posited. The importance of extending university work into the wider community is discussed and related to a. rural development project involving playmaking, undertaken to research the potential of learning through drama for adults.

The Right to Lifelong Education in Kenya and the United States with Special Reference to Adult Education - Davison, Jean; Gezi, Kal (1987)
This chapter discusses the right to lifelong education with reference to adult education. The chapter begins with an examination of Kenya, where adult education since independence from Great Britain in 1963 has until recently played second fiddle to an overwhelming demand for formal schooling by a still largely non-literate rural population. By contrast, the U.S. case demonstrates a long history of compulsory formal education in which continuing education at the adult level is but one phase. One begins with Kenya's experience to illustrate ways in which UNESCO recommendations are translated into national programs that contribute to the expansion of human rights in a developing African country. In summary, adult education in the United States is pluralistic and decentralized and it has been expanded greatly over the years to more adults despite occasional budget belt-tightening and cyclical economic downturns. Access to lifelong education and the quality of what is being offered will be enhanced by strong national and state commitments and a clear vision of how to provide greater learning opportunities for all citizens now and in the future.

Mount Cameroon: an active volcano of the Cameroon Line - Dennielou, Bernard; N’ni, Jean; Kambou, Robert (Journal of African earth sciences (1983), 1987)
Mt Cameroon is a large volcanic horst which belongs to the Cameroon Line. The morphology of the massif depends on tectonic control. Mt Cameroon is built upon a Precambrian metamorphic basement covered with Cretaceous to Recent sediments of the Douala and Rio del Rey basins. The oldest lavas could be of Upper Miocene age. Mt Cameroon has erupted six times in the 20th Century. The 1982 eruption took place inside the crater of an ancient cone. Volcanic risks are actual for the human constructions, mostly along the axis of the horst. The lavas are picrites (with forsteritic olivine phenocrysts), alkali basalts (with salitic augite phenocrysts), hawaiites (with labrador-bytownite plagioclase phenocrysts) and mugearites (with scarce kaersutite phenocrysts and microlitic phlogopite or nosean). FeTi oxides phenocrysts are ubiquitous. All the lavas are Ne-normative. The distribution of major and trace elements in the lava series is well explained by fractionations of the minerals found as phenocrysts, but plagioclase does not fractionate (Sr and Eu contents in the lavas increase with the differentiation). Thus, olivine, augite and FeTi oxide fractionations are respectively correlated with MgNi, CaCrSc and TiV distributions. Primitive magmatic liquids contain about 1 ppm uranium. Ta-Th-Hf correlation and REE distribution clearly indicate that the Cameroon lava series is typically alkaline with no tholeiitic or transitional trend. This fact asserts that the Cameroon Line is not a rift system but the result of tension gashes due to the Adamaoua sinistral strike-slip faulting zone. Le Mont Cameroun est un grand horst volcanique qui appartient à la Ligne du Cameroun. La morphologie du massif dépend de la tectonique. Le Mont Cameroun est construit sur un substratum métamorphique précambrien couvert des sédiments crétacés à actuels des bassins de Douala et du Rio del Rey. Les laves les plus anciennes pourraient être du Miocène Supérieur. Le Mont Cameroun est entré en éruption six fois au vingtième siècle. L'éruption de 1982 a eu lieu à l'intérieur du cratère d'un ancien cône. Les risques volcaniques sont réels pour les constructions humaines situées principalent le long de l'axe du horst. Les laves sont des picrites (à phénocristaux d'olivine forstéritique), des basaltes alcalins (à phénocristaux d'augite salitique), des hawaïtes (à phénocristaux de labrador et bytownite) et des mugéarites (à rares phénocristaux de kaersutite et microlites de phlogopite et noséane). Les oxydes de fer-titane sont ubiquistes. Toutes les laves sont à néphéline normative. La distribution des éléments majeurs et en traces dans la série s'explique bien par le fractionnement des minéraux renontrés en phénocristaux; cependant, le plagioclase ne fractionne pas (les teneurs en Sr et Eu des laves augmentent avec la differenciation). Ainsi, les fractionnements d'olivine, augite et oxydes de fer-titane sont respectivement corrélés aux distributions de MgNi, CaCrSc et Ti-V. Les liquides magmatiques primitifs contiennent environ 1 ppm d'uranium. La corrélation Ta-Th-Hf et la distribution des terres rares montrent clairement que la série du Mont Cameroun est typiquement alcaline, sans tendance tholéïtique, voire transitionnelle. Ceci confirme que la Ligne du Cameroun n'est pas un rift, mais le résultat des tensions dues au décrochement sénestre de l'Adamaoua.

Social-Psychological Factors Associated with School Dropout in the Eastern Region of Ghana - Fobih, D. K. (The Journal of Negro education, 1987)
In the developing countries, education is regarded as a sine qua non for social, political, and economic development. It provides the skilled manpower needed in these countries and serves as the institutionalized process of socialization for the youth. Therefore, the nations of Africa, in spite of their precarious economic situation, devote a high proportion of their annual budgets to providing educational services. For instance, in Ghana successive governments have initiated several educational reforms since independence, such as the 1951 Accelerated Development Plan, the 1961 Education Act, the 1967 Kwapong Education Report, and the 1974 Dzobo Education Report. These measures were all aimed at broadening and diversifying the scope of education to enable as many children as possible to benefit from the system. However, despite the innovations introduced and the improved facilities, many children who avail themselves of the educational opportunities hardly complete their schooling before the first terminal point. They are forced out of school prematurely for one reason or another. As a result, school dropout has become a marked feature of the educational system, especially at the elementary school level where parental financial burden is relatively less. According to the Education Report of 1962, nearly half of the primary one (elementary school level) enrollment dropped out by the third year in most rural schools. Between 1976 and 1978, 6 percent, representing 134 out of 2,525 students, dropped out from

Petrology, geochemistry and age relations of Triassic and Tertiary volcanic rocks from SW Egypt and NW Sudan - Franz, Gerhard; Puchelt, H.; Pasteels, Paul (Journal of African earth sciences (1983), 1987)
Petrological, geochemical and K/Ar radiometrical whole rock age data of volcanic rocks from SW Egypt and N Sudan in the area of Gebel Kamil-Lake Nasser-Laqia Arbain-Nile are presented. These rocks are (i) trachytic-phonolitic rocks and (ii) alkali olivine basalts occurring mostly as volcanic plugs. Their petrographic and their major and trace element patterns are typical for continental within-plate volcanism. Two groups of ages were determined: Triassic (240, 233 Ma) with predominantly silicic, differentiated magmas, and Tertiary (60-20 Ma) with predominantly basaltic magmas. Major element abundances of the basalts show a regional trend from west to east from low to high fractionation irrespective of the age of the rock. Their occurrence can be correlated with two W-E uplift zones which are important for the structural development of the large sedimentary basins of the Libyan desert.

Feeding the child with diarrhea: A strategy for testing a health education message within the primary health care system in Egypt - Galal, Osman; Shaheen, Farouk; Harrison, Gail G.; Shehab, Dena; Rttenbaugh, Cheryl K.; Burkhalter, Barton R. (Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 1987)
Egypt has successfully implemented a nationwide program of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for acute diarrheal disease which should make a substantial impact on diarrhea-specific mortality. However, ORT alone cannot alleviate or prevent the malnutrition which commonly accompanies diarrhea. Traditional practices in Egypt result in food being withheld from children who have diarrhea, thus contributing to the vicious circle of diarrhea and malnutrition. Early and continued feeding of children with diarrhea has been shown to be effective when practiced; however, it requires specific efforts to educate mothers appropriately. This study was designed to address the operational problem of promoting the nutritional repletion of children with diarrhea. Specifically, the tasks were to design an appropriate and practical message for the education of mothers, to test its delivery through the existing primary health care (PHC) system, and to incorporate it into the nationwide program of diarrheal disease control. A baseline survey of knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) of mothers and health center professionals was carried out in July 1985 in three areas of Egypt. A simple educational message was developed based on knowledge of existing practices, consistency with existing mass media messages, and the addition of a component specific to this project. The message was delivered through the PHC system for three months. No special infrastructure or training was developed; the directors of several programs in three governorates simply incorporated the message into their existing systems of information flow and training. A second KAP survey was conducted in the same centers in December 1985. The followup survey indicated several significant findings. Of mothers who had attended any PHC center in the previous three months, 78% reported that a staff member had talked to them about feeding their child during and after diarrhea. Behavioral differences were also reported. There was a statistically significant increase in the proportion who continued to give breast milk during diarrhea and a significant increase in ORT use. Health care providers in the follow-up survey reported giving more, and more appropriate, dietary advice. In conclusion, the PHC system, with no additional infrastructure, was able to successfully incorporate this educational component. The message has now been adopted by the mass media and other health education channels.

Education and the Unemployment Problem in Kenya - Godia, George (Journal of Negro Education, 1987)
Since receiving their independence in 1960s, many African countries have given high priority to expanding formal education. These countries have allocated most of their scarce resources for expansion of primary and secondary educational institutions. To great extent, their efforts have been supplemented by various international assistance agencies, on basis that economic development depends on expansion of modern system of education. These views were supported by human capital and modernization theories that provided justification for high expectations placed on formal education and training institutions as engines of growth.I As Fields points out, a common belief amongst development planners in 1960s was notion that unemployment in LDC's (less developed countries) was largely of structural nature, due to shortage of skilled manpower.2 This developmentalist perspective assumed that economically poor nations were unable to progress because they did not have sufficient education to support modern occupational structure and were too traditional in outlook to participate in modern world. Education was, therefore, considered to be an investment in human capital that would yield substantial return in form of economic growth. Bowman described this as the human capital investment revolution in economic thought.3 Economists began to

History of African languages in Transvaal schools - Goslin, B. du P. (South African Journal of African Languages, 1987)
In this article I endeavour to give a brief overview of the history of African languages in Transvaal schools since their incorporation into the high school curriculum in 1941, with special reference to Northern Sotho. Some of the current problems facing the teaching and learning of African languages are discussed. It is argued that many of the current problems facing the teaching and learning of African languages may be attributed to the fact that the subject didactics of these languages have been neglected in the past. A chronological bibliography of publications pertaining to the teaching and learning of African languages is included.

Vocational-Technical Education in Tropical Africa - Hamilton, Edwin L.; Asiedu, Kobina (Journal of Negro Education, 1987)
In all African countries the role of education is a fiercely debated subject, and discussions are sharpened by the growing charges that the present context and structure of education are irrelevant in preparing African youth for meaningful occupations in their country. There has been a general consensus among education policymakers in Africa that a greater emphasis must be placed on vocational-technical education. Yet, there is a growing gap between policy and practice which is further compounded by the perceptions of African youth as to the importance and value of vocationaltechnical education. The well-being of a nation, its standard of living, and its potential for economic and industrial development depend on a large pool of expertly trained middle-level technicians, craftsmen, and other specialists. These are directly related to the priority that a nation places on developing and maintaining an efficient system of vocational-technical education. It was only in the past few years, however, that African countries began to realize that these relationships exist. Presently, technical education tends to be a response to industrial activity in a given region, and its success is dependent on the extent of the immediate demand for lucrative employment of the individuals who were trained. This case-by-case training is a reflection of colonial rule, under which most African countries depended on the European metropolitan (home) countries for their manufactured products, and therefore, had no need to train a large technical labor force. After independence, many African countries began to recognize the need to be self-reliant. An increasing part of the efforts to produce a cadre of welltrained manpower has involved the introduction of vocational-

Education and national development in post-independant Mauritius in an international perspective, 1968-1982 - Juggernauth, Sutnarain (1987)
I will argue that education and development in post-independent Mauritius should be discussed in its proper historical context: the transformation of the international system in the post-war era. The major change was the rise of the U.S.A. as the dominant power in the international system; and it is under the aegis of various American institutions, most particularly the U.N.O, that the concept of education, implying formal education, and the concept of development, implying economic growth in the mode of the Western industrialised countries, were brought together. I will suggest that Susanne Bodenheimer's model of 'Dependency and Imperialism' offers a new theoretical framework to better understand national international dynamics. From a Marxist-Leninist perspective she argues that the rich industrialised countries of the West, through various infrastructures of dependency, indirectly underdevelop the Third-World countries and that this process has been uneven for some Third-World countries do have a dependent developed sector which acts as a 'bridgehead' between the centre and the periphery and which also gives rise to various clientele classes who have a vested interest in keeping the international system intact. She considers 'monopoly capital' as a further stage of capitalist development leading to the rise of multinationals and the internationalization of capital. She identifies a multiplicity of causes for the indirect under development of the Third World countries. She points out that the development of capitalism should be studied not only at its point of impact, but also at its point of origin. She finally observes that 'dependency' and 'imperialism' are the two sides of the same process: the former is the view from below, and the latter is the view from above. I will argue that Mauritius is a 'fragmented' social formation which, throughout its history, has given rise to what I have called a sectorally fragmented system of educational institutions and practices which have been largely determined by forces - religious, cultural, political and economic - external to the Mauritian social structure. This sectorally fragmented system of education has emerged as the educational system became increasingly the site of conflict between different social groups, dominated by the French national bourgeoisie. Since the nineteenth century, the dominant educational culture transmitted by the sectorally fragmented educational system has been that of the dominant class of the British metropolis-an educational culture which gives access to various kinds of employment in the Civil Service, which bestows prestige and status on its possessor and which is the main channel of social mobility. The sectorally fragmented educational system is perpetuated through a huge network of institutions, agencies and agents and that it has no systemic links with the mode of production in the country since its main aim has been to socialize the Mauritian child into an 'expressive' order rather than in an 'instrumental' one; that is education and production has been strongly insulated from each other. I have argued that there is a close link between the educational culture, in its commodified form, and the rise of the power elite which would, eventually, adopt a 'clientele' role in post-independent Mauritius. Clientele classes, in the Mauritian context, is a key concept as it cuts across both, the class and caste lines, since contemporary Mauritius contains both these social categories and brings to the fore the underlying mechanism of a new type of social relationships between exogenous forces and internal clientelism. Clientelism would eventually permeate the 'state' itself as the power elite controlling the apparatuses of the state, rely on material and ideological support from abroad-chiefly Great Britain - to justify its social positions through the accumulation of 'useful knowledge'. In order to legitimize its hegemonic position vis-a-vis other clientele classes and domestic classes, the power elite expands institutions allowing the accumulation of cultural capital which had been so crucial in its own rise to power, thereby creating the social possibilities for its own survival.

The Appropriate Technology Centre for Education and Research in Kenya - Kapiyo, Raphael J.A. (1987)
This chapter presents an overview of the Appropriate Technology Centre (ATC) for education and research in Kenya. The ATC was established at Kenyatta University College concerned with teacher training. One aim of the Centre is to introduce physics to students at the College in terms of technologies relevant to the needs of the country, for example, material science, energy resources and physics of the environment. Students design and develop projects using locally available materials for specific rural needs. The students at the Centre have designed, developed and tested cookstoves, jikos, with improved insulation and which therefore save fuel (charcoal). They have also worked on sisal cement technologies, on solar grain-dryers for use in stores, on biogas units and on water heaters. The extent to which these technologies are disseminated and adapted by the teachers after being trained at ATC depends, in part, on their inclusion in the secondary science curriculum. In addition to its education and research function, the ATC also aims to disseminate the developed technologies into rural communities and to encourage creative “do-it-yourself” activities within these communities.

Youth Skills Training as a Strategy for Rural Employment in Zimbabwe: A Case Study - Kasambira, Daniel P. (Journal of Social Development in Africa, 1987)
This article attempts to assess the role of Youth Training Centres in Zimbabwe by reference to observation and investigation ('case studies') of two training centres, one a government training centre established since Independence and one a nongovernment training centre established prior to Independence. This article compares the two centres on the basis of history, geographical situation, level of educational requirement for entry, programme content and flexibility, and employment creating ability, amongst several variables. Some attention is paid to the need to train for rural development and to the concept of education with production and how these concepts have been translated practically in these centres. The discussion on the two centres is used to point to some potential policy implications for training and education and focuses on the need for collaboration, coordination and cooperation between the public and private youth training centres. The author ends on a note of optimism born out of the recognition of the problem of youth unemployment and training needs in Zimbabwe and the attempts to deal with these problems.

The training process in community-based health care in Saradidi, Kenya - Kaseje, Margaret; Kaseje, Dan; Spencer, Harrison C. (Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, 1987)
Community health workers from a community-based health development programme in Saradidi, Kenya, were trained beginning in 1980, using participatory training. Training was considered high priority by the community. The process of training was geared to local problems, perceptions, situations and resources. The content of training was based on perceived health problems in the community and on responsibilities agreed upon by the health workers. Training was done in or near the villages where the participants were living and working. Concrete actions that could be taken to solve local problems were emphasized. The trainers were people who understood local problems, lived in Saradidi and were known to the trainees. Community leaders and members participated in the training as did some community health workers after completing their training. Evaluation indicated significant changes in the trainees' knowledge, practices and behaviour.

The development of the Late Cenozoic alkali basaltic Marsabit Shield Volcano, northern Kenya - Key, R.M.; Rop, B.P.; Rundle, C. C. (Journal of African earth sciences (1983), 1987)
The Marsabit Shield Volcano has a surface area of 6300 km2 and a volume of about 910 km3 of alkali basaltic lavas and pyroclastics to a maximum (summit) thickness of about 1200 m. Laterally extensive, fissure-sourced lava flow-units predominate with clinopyroxene, plagioclase ± olivine basal basla units followed by olivine basalts. Minor, youngest flows form narrow tongues from cone sources and are also olivine (± analcime) basalts. Cinder cones, block-and-ash cones and maars are concentrated in two belts controlled by fundamental crustal fractures. Hawaiian type volcanism commenced in the very late Pliocene followed by progressively more violent (Strombolian and Ultravulcanian) activity peaking at some stage in the Quaternary. Final vulcanism was relatively gentle and presently the volcano is extinct. The high concentrations of maars is unique to Marsabit in N. Kenya and due to the location of the Sheild over the major aquifer of the Chalbi Basin The volcanism, although contemporaneous with the tectonics of the Gregory Rift, is spatially separated and indicates a regional supply of mantle in N. Kenya. The lavas followed an alkali basalt fractionation trend from a periodotite (xenoliths present in maars) source. Little crust contramination of the source magma occurred, possiblly because of regional crustal tension during the Late Cenozoic in East Africa.

Diversified secondary education in Kenya: The status of practical subjects, and effects on attitudes and destinations after school - Lauglo, Jon; Närman, Anders (International Journal of Educational Development, 1987)
The paper presents findings from an evaluation of ‘industrial education’ subjects (wood, metal, electrical and power technology) in Kenyan academic secondary schools. As a project established in 35 schools with comprehensive aid agency (SIDA) support, these subjects do not suffer from lack of attraction to students or from low teacher morale. Exposure to them increases students' aspirations and expectations of ‘technical/practical’ work, but the problem is not lack of interest in such work, but rather scarce opportunity to realise such ambition, in a labour market where school leavers face great problems in finding a source of livelihood. Except for individual cases, exposure to these subjects does not seem to give students an advantage in the labour market, according to findings from a one-year follow-up. Further, doing well in general on the lower secondary examination does not confer any short-term labour market advantage either, suggesting that personal contacts rather than school credentials are decisive. We conclude policy makers need to recognise that pre-vocational subjects should be seen as part of general education rather than as a remedy for youth unemployment.

An Energy Programme for Sierra Leone Secondary Schools - Lisk, E. (1987)
This chapter discusses an energy program for Sierra Leone secondary schools. This program shows that energy is stored work. For mechanical energy, which is a common form, stored work is released when motion is halted or reduced. A body must be in motion before it can release the work it stores. Work is done by a body having kinetic energy, when its motion is halted or reduced. The materials used in the activities described are cheap, and readily available. The internal energy of a compound determines its stability. Compounds with high internal energy are generally unstable and tend to dissociate, while compounds with low internal energy are generally stable. A chemical reaction occurs without the addition of heat energy if the total internal energy of the products is less than the total internal energy of the reactants. This loss in the internal energy usually results in the production of heat, but can be converted into electrical energy.

Theatre Development in Sierra Leone A study of Care's Project Learn - Malamah-Thoma, David H. (1987)
This paper discusses the role of theatre in development. It starts off by summarizing the history of theatre in Sierra Leone. Then it gives a fairly detailed account of the activities of CARE's LEARN project in which theatre techniques were employed to create the necessary awareness for development among Sierra Leonians. It admits that though the approach used by LEARN in this project was not more truly participatory, it achieved noteworthy success in the areas of nutrition, sanitation and maternal childhealth care.

Using agricultural data for timely warning to prevent the effects of drought on child nutrition in Botswana - Mason, John; Haaga, John G.; Maribe, Tshire O.; Marks, Geoffrey C.; Quinn, Victoria J.; Test, Karen E. (Ecology of Food and Nutrition, 1987)
Data from agricultural reporting systems in Botswana for the period 1978–83 are combined with data from the Ministry of Health's clinic‐based nutritional surveillance system in a retrospective analysis to investigate the usefulness of agricultural indicators for timely warning of unusually severe child malnutrition due to drought. In the arable farming areas in eastern Botswana, deficits in an index of ground water sufficiency for maize growth during the growing season (January‐April) were associated with the deviation from trend in children's malnutrition (measured by weight‐for‐age) during the peak season for malnutrition, later in the year, across regions and over time. In arid Western Botswana, as well as the East, qualitative reports on the condition of cattle were also shown to be useful predictors of child malnutrition. Decisions on the allocation of resources for relief could be made early in the year, based on agricultural data, even before confirmation from clinic data is available.

The relation of education and R&D to productivity growth in the developing countries of Africa - McMahon, Walter W. (Economics of Education Review, 1987)
Abstract This paper focuses on the returns to investment in human capital in the form of investment in primary and secondary education, and in technology transfer via higher education and physical capital in 30 of the poorest countries of Africa. It specifies a production function and controls over the 1970–1985 period for investment in physical capital, drought, oil price shocks, different labor utilization rates, and Anglophone-Francophone differences. The results find high 21.2% rates of return to investment in primary and secondary education. Population growth lowers the growth of output per capita. A method is suggested for estimating rates of return for the 18 countries for which individual rate of return studies do not exist.

An analysis of the classroom language of primary school student-teachers with reference to its interlanguage forms, communicative activities and instructional strategies : with implications of these for teacher training in Zambia - Mhundwa, Philip H. (1987)
This study was designed to analyse and to describe the language of non-native student-teachers who use English as a medium of instruction and who also teach it as a subject. The aim was to describe the formal and functional features of the variety of English they use and to discover whether it constitutes a language system that applies identifiable and descriptively adequate sets of rules. In his analysis, the researcher discussed definitions and 'general properties' of communication to establish criteria within which communicative activities were described in terms of information structuring by student-teachers and information processing by learners. He observed that student-teachers' language generally consists of systematically occuring features that constitute a spoken interlanguage that can be described as a language in its own right. He also observed that the interlanguage variety consists of syntactical and stylistic features some of which are identical to those that characterise native-speaker discourse. At the level of communication, the reseacher observed that student-teachers' and pupils' communicative utterances tend to be defective in situations where higher order thinking processes and ideas need to be articulated in the L2. Another important observation was that student-teachers do not adequately use their interlanguage to realise the important pedagogical functions of explaining, elaborating and classifying key concepts and issues that arise in teaching/learning situations. On the basis of these findings, the reseacher proceeded to suggest course guidelines for a Language and Communication Course which he hopes will improve student-teachers communication skills in Zimbabwean ESL classrooms.

Gender and symptoms of depression and anxiety among Kikuyu secondary school students in Kenya - Mitchell, Scherise; Abbott, Susan (Social Science & Medicine, 1987)
Numerous studies have confirmed that patterns of mental illness are influenced by sociocultural factors such as socioeconomic status and gender. This study describes the patterning of symptoms of depression and anxiety on a 20 item self-report questionnaire, the Health Opinion Survey, completed by 159 Kikuyu secondary school students in Kenya. Significant quantitative differences in the responses of males and females to seven of the questions were found, including females reporting more depression symptoms than males. These results are compared to an earlier study of 116 Kikuyu adults in which the differences between males and females were greater. This paper contributes to the literature on the relationship between gender and depression while adding to the sparse descriptive literature on symptoms of depression and anxiety in normal African populations.

The teaching of music South Africa - Mngoma, Khabi (Africa insight, 1987)
The teaching of music often creates unique challenges for both tutor and student, especially where the educational goals are at variance with the society's aspirations. In the study of language, culture plays a key role in enabling a student to comprehend fully the nature, the idiosyncrasies and the rationale behind the rules that apply to syntax. This is the case with music education also: before one can structure effective music education programmes, the culture and nature of a people must be understood. In the new South Africa the politicization of musical aesthetics is inevitable - and in fact essential - in order for music to be seen as mirroring the nature of South African society. Bearing in mind that: Music can be studied and appreciated in many ways. It can be approached as an art that comprises great exemplars and masterworks; or it can be viewed as the entire product of a whole people. It can be studied as a chain of history in which each event causes another; or it can be considered a group of processes that reflect in sound what is happening in life. It can be regarded as a group of techniques, a craft in which structural relationships are translated into patterns of sound.1

A survey of the curricula for the pre-service education of secondary school geography teachers in South Africa, with special reference to Transkei - Mniki, Claribel Pumzile (1987)
Programmes designed for the pre-service education of secondary school geography teachers reflect the assumptions held by programme designers regarding the nature of education, teaching in general and geography teaching in particular. The general practice is that in universities, individual method lecturers design their programmes and in colleges within a department of education the programmes are centrally planned. Each programme focuses on a specific context. This, together with the autonomy enjoyed by university method lecturers in designing their courses, has resulted in the variations found in geography teacher education programmes. The evidence of this is found in the structure and duration of courses, the course content, the strategies used to educate teachers and the way in which the course is evaluated. This thesis is an attempt to establish consensus and divergence in pre-service education programmes for secondary school geography teachers regarding their organisation, specific knowledge imparted to student teachers; skills, values and attitudes developed. The pre-service education of secondary school geography teachers in South Africa is revealed in an analysis of views held by method lecturers, practising teachers in secondary schools, and student teachers and an analysis of course outlines , teaching practice assessment forms and geography method examination papers. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations made for improving the initial education of secondary school geography teachers in Transkei

A paleomagnetic study of the Dokhan volcanic formation and younger granites, eastern desert of Egypt - Nairn, A.E.M.; Perry, T.A.; Ressetar, R.; Rogers, Steven (Journal of African earth sciences (1983), 1987)
Abstract Paleomagnetic measurements on samples of late Precambrian-early Paleozoic volcanic and intrusive rocks of the Egyptian Eastern Desert show a variety of magnetic components. A stable, hematite-carried direction from the Dokhan Volcanic Formation indicates an age of about 680 Ma if the magnetization is primary and was acquired prior to structural tilting, or an age of about 500–550 Ma if it post-dates tilting. Several lines of evidence led us to prefer the latter interpretation. A high temperature component found in samples from a Dokhan xenolith within a Younger Granite pluton may also date at 500 Ma. Other directions found in the xenolith and in Younger Granites are provisionally attributed to late Mesozoic and Cenozoic overprinting.

Or, in sociological terms, it is a sort of social change during which the achievements (in terms of wealth) and income of any given society markedly increase - with this increase reflected in higher average incomes for the families and persons within that society. This social change is a result of (or is often activated by) some changes in the political, economic and ideological framework of the society's governing principles. [Continues.]

An evaluation of the role of rural primary school teachers in community development tasks in southern Sudan - Ngalam, Jabi Jack. (1987)
This thesis investigates the role of rural primary school teachers in community development activities within an integrated rural education centres project (IRECs) in southern Sudan. The study explores five areas of importance for an extended teacher's role in rural areas: (i) the school or community environment, (ii) community perception of the teacher's role and its expectations of the school, (iii) teachers' perception of their own role in the community, (iv) teachers' satisfaction and morale, and (v) the influence of teachers social attributes (age, sex, ethnicity and language), previous general education and professional training programmes. An eclectic methodology was adopted. Various indicators were developed to assess the influence of the above factors on teachers' involvement in community development work. Of particular interest were indicators of (i) teacher leadership abilities, (ii) involvement in community organizations, (iii) teacher status and prestige, (iv) measures of adoption of new practices among teachers and the community and (v) teacher satisfaction and morale. It is argued that for teachers to exercise leadership, they need to have high status in the community, they must be seen to influence decisions and control of scarce resources, they need to have the necessaary pedagogic skills, and must be committed to working with rural people. The study further concludes that projects like IRECs which, are often centrally planned and controlled often take insufficient account of the existing realities in rural areas regarding the attitudes, expectations and felt needs of the rural masses and the development situations prevailing in rural communities. Such projects are often based on too categoric premises about the nature of rural problems. IRECs exaggerated the capacity of the rural primary school teachers as change agents and did little to improve the status of these agents. Hence, there remained a wide discrepancy between the project intentions and what was actually implemented and realised by the project.

The Place of Small-Scale Industry and Technology in the Curriculum of Junior Secondary Schools in Developing Africa: The Case of Nigeria - Nwana, O.C. (1987)
This chapter elaborates incorporation of small-scale industry and technology concepts in the curriculum of junior secondary schools in Nigeria. Secondary schools in Nigeria now offer both literary and technical subjects to all students. Junior secondary schools provide 3-year courses in which prevocational subjects are taught together with regular subjects. In senior secondary schools the 3-year courses provide some specialization either in academic-type or in vocational subjects. The focus is on building into the curriculum instruction in the small-scale industrial skills of the tradesmen within each community with the master tradesmen or master craftsmen/women as the principal instructors. The plan includes: (1) locating and listing of all small-scale industries in any area. (2) evaluation of each industry in terms of how many apprentices it can take on effectively without disturbing the normal flow of business. (3) estimating how much money each industry makes in the month; (4) assessing how much extra equipment can be installed in the industry to widen its scope in giving worthwhile experiences to pupils; and (5) rescheduling the school timetable to make available long blocks of time (flexible time scheduling) for practical training. However, only a few school communities have been able to initiate action in this plan.

Applied anthropologists are engaging in evaluation research in increasing numbers these days. As we join the ranks of those who have been conducting program evaluation for years, we find ourselves confronted with a typical evaluator's problem: how can we guarantee that our evaluation results will ever actually be considered in program planning? Some program managers, of course, are only interested in an evaluation when it is required by a funding source. Expecting programs of this sort to seriously consider the results of a carefully planned and executed evaluation is probably naive.

The Social Origins of Student Teachers in Nigeria - Obasi, Emma (Journal of Education for Teaching, 1987)
Abstract The study reports on the social origin of student teachers in Nigerian Universities. To this end a representative sample of 578 Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) students randomly selected from three representative Nigerian Universities were surveyed during the 1982/83 academic year. The major finding is that there is a preponderance of students from low social class background amongst the recruits into teacher education programme in Nigeria. This finding is consistent with reviewed reported findings elsewhere and could be explained by the highly subsidised nature of teacher education programmes through a bursary scheme for student teachers. This calls to question the recent discontinuation of the ‘teachers bursary scheme’ in Nigeria's universities in view of the government's avowed commitment to the principle of equalisation of educational opportunities for different social groups.

Maintenance of communication in primary classrooms : Some evidence for the role of elicitation and code-switching in English medium schools in Kenya, with implications for teaching - Oduol, Charles B (1987)
This is a study of specific aspects of classroom interaction primary school level in Kenya. The study entailed the identification of the sources of particular communication problems during the change-over period from Kiswahili to English medium teaching in two primary schools. There was subsequently an examination of the language resources which were employed by teachers to maintain pupil participation in communication in the light of the occurrence of possibility of occurrence of specific communication problems. The language resources which were found to be significant in this regard concerned firstly the use of different elicitation types by teachers to stimulate pupils into giving responses and secondly teachers' recourse to code-switching from English to Kiswahili and vice-versa. It was also found in this study that although the use of English as the medium of instruction in the classrooms which were observed resulted in certain communication problems, some of these problems need not have arisen if teachers had been more careful in their use of language. The consideration of this finding, after taking into account the role of different elicitation types and code-switching as interpretable from data samples had certain implications which are specified in the study for teaching in Kenyan primary schools. The corpus for the study consisted of audio-recordings of English, Science and Number-Work lessons which were later transcribed. Relevant data samples were subsequently extracted from transcripts for analysis. Many of the samples have examples of cases of communication breakdowns, but they also illustrate how teachers maintained interaction with pupils who had yet to acquire an operational mastery of English. This study thus differs from most studies on classroom interaction because of its basic concern with the examination of the resources available to teachers for overcoming the problem areas of classroom communication.

Introducing Sex Education in the Formal Education System in Nigeria - Owuamanam, Donatus O. (Journal of Moral Education, 1987)
Abstract Evidence exists about the increasing rate of sexual involvement, decrease in age of first sexual experience and the existence of different forms of sexual aberration such as prostitution, sexual exploitation and rape among Nigerian youth. In spite of these problems sex education has not been included in the framework of the formal education system in Nigeria. The introduction of sex education in our formal school system is now necessary not only to provide adolescents with valuable knowledge about sex, but also as a means of averting risks associated with unplanned coital sex such as teenage pregnancy, illegitimacy and other medical and psychological risks. This paper attempts to answer questions related to such issues as who should teach sex education, whether sex education should be taught as a subject or integrated into some or all school subjects, the content of sex education and how sex education materials should be presented. It is anticipated that the introduction of sex education in the formal school system is likely to lead to some conflicts with cultural and religious norms and with existing sex knowledge which youths have from their peers, magazines, pictures and pornography.

American Law Teachers and Africa: Some Historical Observations - Paul, James C. N. (Journal of African Law, 1987)
In 1961 Tony Allott, then a rather young elder statesman of African law, helped to foster my interest in that subject, and my subsequent work in Ethiopia. He and several other distinguished colleagues in London also encouraged other American initiatives to assist the development of legal education and research in Africa, efforts which began in 1962, burgeoned during the ensuing decade, and then withered rapidly. The activities of the early 60s helped to generate an extraordinary number of different kinds of projects: the temporary placement of over 150 Americans in law teaching positions in African institutions; a large and wide variety of research and writing; the founding of law reporters, law journals and university institutes of African law, both within Africa and elsewhere; the flow of a substantial number of Africans to graduate legal studies in U.S. and U.K. universities; new kinds of interactions between African, British and American scholars. These activities also contributed to the emergence (notably in North America) of that amorphous, contentious field of scholarship which came to be called “law and development”, and, then, in the latter 70s, to acrimonious critiques and agonising reappraisals of much of all this effort. Tony Allott participated in, or observed, much of this history, as anyone familiar with his career and bibliography will know. I hope that this brief account of some of these past activities may be of some interest to him, and to others interested in law and social change in Africa.

School administration and school reform in Botswana - Plank, David N. (International Journal of Educational Development, 1987)
This paper reports the results of a survey of post-primary school administrators in Botswana, and discusses the implications of the findings for the success of the current program of school reforms. The paper suggests that administrative authority will have to be decentralized and school-level administrators will have to be given additional training if the reforms are to maintain or improve the quality of education in Botswana's schools.

Public versus private schools in developing countries: Evidence from Colombia and Tanzania - Psacharopoulos, George (International Journal of Educational Development, 1987)
The paper presents evidence on differences between public and private schools in Colombia and Tanzania on a number of indicators like cognitive achievement, unit cost and labor market outcomes. The findings are mixed, in the sense that in both countries, statistically controlling for student ability and socioeconomic background, private school students outperform their public school counterparts on academic achievement, whereas the reverse is true regarding achievement on specialized subject-matter. One possible explanation of this finding is that parental pressure (social demand) on private schools makes them tacitly emphasize academic subjects which are viewed by their customers as leading to a higher level of opportunities after graduation.
