The Buem volcanic and associated sedimentary rocks, Ghana: a field and geochemical investigation - Jones, William B. (Journal Of African Earth Sciences, 1990)
The Buem volcanic rocks of Ghana form part of the Dahomeyide Chain on the southeastern flank of the West African Craton. They have been regarded as an ophiolite complex indicating a continental collision origin for the Dahomeyides. Mapping and geochemical analysis of the volcanic outcrop has shown that the volcanics and associated sediments form a conformable eastward dipping succession with minor folding. Pillow lavas and agglomerates were followed by hawaiites, mugearites, trachytes and phonolitic trachytes. These lavas make up a consanguineous alkaline suite. Gravity data suggest that the outcrop is a section across a rift zone of a large volcano whose eroded core now lies under the Voltaian Basin. The sediments enclosing the volcanics are red shales, feldspathic to quartz arenite sands, conglomerates, mixtites of possibly glacial origin, jasper and minor limestone. They were deposited in a shallow water to subaerial environment northwest of a mountain front. Regional correlation suggests that the volcanics were erupted at about 650-600 M.a. but they gave K/Ar ages of about 500 M.a. The latter age conforms with the later stages of the Pan-African orogeny and may date the folding and metasomatism of the Buem. The evidence does not support, but does not necessarily rule out a continental collision origin for the Dahomeyide Belt in Ghana.

Teachers, Tutors and Inspectors: views of pre‐service teacher education in Botswana - Kahn, Michael (Educational review, 1990)
Abstract The paper reports on a survey carried out in Botswana on the attitudes toward pre‐service education of serving teachers and tutors/education officers. The study commences by considering similar work previously carried out in the United Kingdom. Comparison in the Botswana case is also made of the differing views within two subsamples, namely those between science and mathematics teachers, and between seasoned teachers and novices. Problems of cross‐cultural comparison are discussed, and the implications of the survey findings for teacher education policy in Botswana are considered.

International cooperation in education : a study of education aid policy and management with particular reference to British and Swedish aid in Zambia, 1964-89 - Kaluba, Langazye Henry (1990)
The study analyses the following aspects within the framework of international cooperation in education development: development trends in the Zambian education and training sector, aid process and coordination in Zambia, and foreign aid responses to Zambia's education development. The cases of British and Swedish aid to education and training are examined more closely for their policy changes and relevancy to Zambia's needs. The study has also sought to determine the position of donors on aspects of aid coordination in Zambia. Because aid operates in overlapping frameworks and responds to many signals. The study has therefore adopted a holistic approach in its analysis of the issues. The following analytic and theoretical frameworks have been used in the study: the systems analysis, the supplementary aid theory, and the exchange and power-dependency theory in interorganisation relationship. The methodology used is qualitative descriptive critical analysis. The findings indicate that the whole realm within which aid relationships are conducted is characterised by a complex mosaic of objectives and interests. British aid to education and training for example has been structured in a way which is intended to make it responsive to a wide-ranging set of objectives in Britain and in the overseas aid constituency. Swedish aid too has a diversified and equally complex aid framework and goals. This is still undergoing changes in approach and method. The findings of this study show that aid responses to education and training in Zambia has been given in the context described above. The aid relationships which has existed between Zambia and donors have accordingly been fairly complex. Consequently, some of the analytic frameworks used in this study have been found inadequate to explain some of the field experiences in Zambia's and donors' aid relationships.

Pay differences between teachers and other occupations: Some empirical evidence from côte d'ivoire - Komenan, A.G.; Grootaert, Christiaan (Economics of Education Review, 1990)
This paper uses data from the 1985 Côte d'Ivoire Living Standards Survey to examine pay differences between teachers and other wage earners in Côte d'Ivoire. The analysis controls for differences in human capital endowments, hours worked, and various personal characteristics. The results indicate that the base salaries of teachers contain a rent component which, however, disappears when the total remuneration package is considered, i.e. including in-kind benefits, bonuses, and commissions which are widely received by non-teachers. These findings call for much caution when considering policy options for teacher salaries in a context of budgetary restrictions.

Association of biochemistry grades with subsequent performance in pharmacology and overall performance in a Nigerian pharmacy school - Kwanashie, Helen O.; Abdu-Aguye, I (Biochemical education, 1990)
The College of Medicine, King Khalid University of Abha, Saudi Arabia currently accepts 100 students a year, up from 50 to 70 students four years ago. The first-year students take four science courses (Biology,Chemistry, Physics, and Statistics) in addition to some general university requirement courses. Biochemistry is offered in the second year, Anatomy in the second and third year and Pharmacology in the fourth year. This study was carried out to determine the correlation between the performance of medical students in Biochemistry and their performance in Anatomy and Pharmacology. Data were obtained from two groups of students (Group 22 and 23) of the years 1995 and 1996 who had already taken Biochemistry, Anatomy and Pharmacology. Performance was equal in Pharmacology but in biochemistry performance of group 23 was clearly lower than group 22. Scores of students in Biochemistry course strongly correlated with the basic Pharmacology course (r=0.714, P<0.0001). Scores in Anatomy also correlated with those in Biochemistry (r=0.616, P<0.001) but much less with scores in Pharmacology (r=0.345, P<0.01).

Success and Failure: The Breakdown of Traditional Drought Coping Institutions Among the Pastoral Turkana of Kenya - McCabe, J. Terrence (Journal of Asian and African Studies, 1990)
During the severe drought of 1979-1981 over 80,000 Turkana people of northwestern Kenya left their pastoral lifestyle and migrated into famine relief camps. Although the drought affected both northern and southern Turkana district, the people who left the pastoral sector lived primarily in northern Turkana. A comparison of the pastoral economies of these two groups revealed that the indigenous drought coping institutions of the northern Turkana had begun to break down, while those of the southern Turkana remained viable. Analysis further revealed that the northern Turkana were subject to stress arising from inter-ethnic conflict, raiding, political instability, national boundary restrictions and the famine relief effort itself. The study concludes that the maintenance of indigenous drought coping institutions, based on a system of social relations and the redistribution of surplus, is critical for long term survival in this drought prone area of the world; and that these institutions have been made recently vulnerable to stresses beyond the control of the local people.

The Yemen Arab Republic: needs assessment for information education communication (IEC). - Mm, Bouhafa; Pj, Pine (1990)
This report presents the findings of a population communication needs assessment team that visited Yemen Arab Republic during March 11-23 1990. The needs assessment includes statements about Yemens history and cultural and religious norms population and social and economic conditions clinical resources and contraceptive prevalence. Although there was no formal population policy the Central Planning Office (CPO) the Ministry of Health (MOH) and other ministries were concerned about demographic issues. The authors describe the Yemen Family Care Association and the Yemen Womens Associations and the involvement of the UNFPA UNICEF and other international agencies in health and population activities in Yemen. Media services are identified. The Central Planning Organization was a major government leader in advocating for the inclusion of population within the development. The country possessed a well organized capacity within the public sector to produce high-quality videos and had good access to television. Family planning service delivery had problems. The health infrastructure was weak and provided care to only 40% of the total population. The government placed a priority on population growth and realized the potential impact on development. Leadership came from the CPO within the country and USAID as a donor. Plans were in the drafting stage for a bilateral population program to be implemented in 1991. The government had a serious commitment to expand family care services and IEC. Contraceptive prevalence remained very low at 1-3% due to service informational and cultural factors. The authors recommend small sensitization projects targeted at male opinion leaders; 3-5 years technical assistance to the MOH Education Department; and development of participatory-style learning packages for health workers and service providers.

Problems of teaching through the medium of Kiswahili in teacher training colleges in Tanzania - Msanjila, Y.P. (Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 1990)
Abstract This paper attempts to reveal some pedagogic problems related to the use of Kiswahili as the medium of instruction in teacher training colleges in Tanzania. The paper is based on a theory of language as a medium of communication. Language skills such as speaking and writing are among the theoretical issues discussed and then linked with actual practice. Among other problems, the paper spells out three major problems. Firstly that there is lack of clear Kiswahili academic register and very often tutors mix the science and the arts registers. Secondly, tutors under this programme were not adequately prepared. For example, there was not a single seminar organised for them. Lastly, but not least, there is a problem of dissemination of terminologies. Pamphlets and journals which contain Kiswahili terminologies for the schools hardly reach the consumers.

Occlusal and space characteristics among 12-year-old school children in Bukoba and Moshi, Tanzania. - Mugonzibwa, EA; Mumghamba, E G; Rugarabamu, Paschalis; Kimaro, Sadock (PubMed, 1990)
The aim of the study was to investigate the frequency of occlusal and space characteristics in Bukoba and Moshi, two towns in North-Western and Eastern parts of Tanzania. The entire sample consisted of 47% boys and 53% girls. Angle's and Foster's classifications were used in the study. Sagittal, vertical and transversal occlusion variables were included in the classification. Most of the children had Angle's class I in both townships. No child had distal occlusion in Bukoba but 8% of the school children had Angle's class III which was present in only 5% of the Moshi children. The most prevalent occlusal anomalies in both populations were large overjet and deep bite (greater than or equal to 3.5 mm), the prevalence of which was significantly higher in Moshi. Open bite also occurred more often in Moshi girls than Bukoba girls. No child had scissors bite in Moshi. Open bite and scissors bite in Bukoba girls and cross-bite in Moshi girls were rare. Diastema mediale prevailed mostly in the maxilla in the whole sample. About one fifth of the whole sample had crowding. The results suggest that different occlusal and space characteristics are present in Bukoba and Moshi children.

Abstract The socioeconomic impact of the AIDS epidemic in Uganda has been evaluated through carrying out a household survey in central Kampala. A chronic disease with fever and weight loss, occuring mainly in young adults, caused about 1% mortality in 1988 in the area studied. There was a negative relation between being orphaned and access to school education. It is suggested that community-based AIDS patient care activities should put special emphasis on educational support of these children.

This research project is also prompted by the emergence and development of English, which in pronunciation and linguistic structures differs from the standard form which is institutionalized and supposed to be taught in schools. This abstract overviews the main features of all the four chapters, underlining the links between them. Needless to say, much of the inherent richness and contributions in each chapter will be brief in order to meet the demand of a concise and integrative approach. The author will highlight the major different features in Educated South African Black English (ESABE) and British Standard English (BSE) as well as the attitudes held by these educated Blacks towards the two varieties. The first chapter identifies the problem which led to this research. This is followed by a section which provides the background to the identified problem. The second chapter, deals with literature review. In this section the researcher gives general background to the research problem. The project describes and synthesizes the major studies related to the dissertation topic.

Investigations on guinea worm disease in anambra state, Nigeria. Treatment of patients, examination of drinking water and influence on school attendance. - Ohara, Hiroshi; Fujita, Kazuo (Nihon Nettai Igakkai zasshi, 1990)
Investigation and treatment were performed on the cases with guinea worm disease (dracontiasis) in Abakariki district of Anambra State, Nigeria. In the classification of 63 patients under study by their professions, 76% were agricultural workers, 19% school boys and girls, and average age of the patients was 21 years old. For the treatment, albendazole was given to the patients, and the course up to the complete excretion of worm body was carefully observed. Whole worm body was excreted within 5 days in average, and the ulcerated region of the skin was healed thereafter. Bacterial colonies counts were examined on the drinking water by dividing water sources into five groups of ponds, shallow wells, deep wells, rivers and tap water. The results of the test revealed that the water in ponds, shallow wells and rivers was heavily contaminated and cyclops, the intermediary host of Dracunculus medinesis, was found in large quantity, suggesting frequent and easy infection of the disease. In elementary schools, many pupils (59.6% of all) were absent due to guinea worm disease, and this suggests that the disease exerts extensive social and economical influence such as the decrease of school attendance ratio or the decline of agricultural production. This disease is related with the hygienic standards of drinking water, and the prevention of the disease is extremely important. The construction of deep wells is urgently wanted, while it is also essential to provide good knowledge of hygiene to the inhabitants through education.

Discrepancies between official science curriculum and actual classroom practice: The Nigerian experience - Olorundare, Solomon A. (Journal of Education Policy, 1990)
This paper is based on an investigation of how an officially prescribed science curriculum (OPSC) was interpreted and translated by teachers into actual classroom practice in Nigerian primary schools. Due to various pressures and constraints, contents of the official curriculum were not transmitted to pupils in their original forms. Mismatches between official and hidden curricula were very rampant, and these were often created by factors beyond the control of either teachers or pupils ‐ similarities were also more superficial than real. It is argued in this paper that the official view of teachers as mere ‘implementers of policies imposed from higher quarters’ is both inaccurate and misleading. On the contrary, the teacher's role in primary science is more of a ‘policy broker’ than an implementer of official programmes.

Cette these tente de differencier les systemes aquiferes dans l'etat de Gongola, Haute-Benoue, Nigeria et de comprendre leur comportement physico-chimique. La confrontation de donnees geologiques, geophysiques, hydroeeologiques, hydrochimiques et isotopiques montre que la qualite des eaux souterraines dans les nappes phreatiques est conditionnee par des differences structurales qui influent sur le mode de recharge. Les aquiferes fractures surmontes par de minces couches d'alterites recoivent des apports pollues dans les zones superficielles. La mineralisation naturelle est en general acquise par hydrolyse des silicates au cours et apres l'infiltration des eaux enrichies en CO2 du sol dans la zone non saturee. L'analyse des isotopes du milieu confirme des recharges rapides a partir des precipitations actuelles. Les donnees du tritium et du carbone 14 indiquent localement du taux de renouvellement de l'ordre d'une dizaine d'annees, dans la zone du socle. L'echantillonnage repete pour l'analyse des isotopes stables a mis en evidence le comportement hydrocinematique des aquiferes dans le socle.

This paper presents an evaluation of technical secondary education in Togo and Cameroon from the labor market perspective using tracer study data. Individuals face great difficulties in finding a job following training and the most common strategy used to avoid unemployment is to secure work in the informal sector. However, informal sector jobs provide low earnings and there appears to be a large discrepancy between an individual's expected earnings and actual earnings. One solution is to stimulate, and to enhance the role of, informal training through apprentice training centers.

A seismic velocity model for the crust in northern Kenya derived from local earthquake data - Pointing, A.J.; Maguire, P. K. H. (Journal Of African Earth Sciences, 1990)
Abstract An 8-element small aperture array of about 10 km dimension was deployed at Ngurunit (NGU) in northern Kenya in 1981 as one component of a seismic network in a study whose principal objective was to examine the seismicity of this remote region between the Kenya and Ethiopian Rifts. The local earthquake first arrival data recorded by the small array has been analysed to produce a simple P-wave velocity model of the crust and immediate upper mantle on the north-eastern flank of the Kenya dome beneath the Ndoto Mountains in Turkana District. Although the layer thicknesses are not well constrained, the preferred model suggests apparently thick shield type crust with an upper crustal layer of P-wave velocity 5.8 km/s at the surface increasing to 6.12 km/s at about 24 km depth, overlying a thick (about 23 km) lower crustal layer of P-wave velocity of 6.5 km/s. The sub-Moho velocity is poorly defined, but suggests upper mantle material of P-wave velocity about 8.3 km/s existing beneath a Moho dipping to the east. Taken together with the results of previous work, these values indicate that the crust beneath the margins of the Kenya Rift is slightly thickened relative to shield crust elsewhere in southern Africa. It is suggested that this may be a necessary effect (through underplating of the crust by ultramafic material) or cause (providing a weak lithosphere which fails upon extension) of the rifting process. Thinning of the crust from beneath the NGU array towards the Rift is compatible with the available gravity data.

A seismic velocity model for the upper mantle in northern Kenya derived from teleseismic earthquake data - Pointing, A.J.; Maguire, P. K. H. (Journal Of African Earth Sciences, 1990)
Teleseismic arrivals recorded by a network distributed over the northern part of the Kenya Rift in 1981 have been interpreted in terms of the structure of an anomalously low P-wave velocity upper mantle zone beneath the Kenya dome. The travel time residuals through a Jeffreys-Bullen Earth model have been compared with those derived previously by Savage and Long (1985). Their equivalence suggests that the large delays of up to about 1.9 seconds determined at stations well to the north of the apex of the Kenya dome are caused by a similar upper mantle low velocity zone as that presumed to exist beneath the centre and south of the dome. Slowness and azimuth anomalies of teleseismic arrivals recorded at a small aperture array at Ngurunit (NGU) in the Ndoto Mountains of the Turkana District on the north-eastern flank of the Kenya Rift show a relatively simple variation with azimuth and epicentral distance of event. It is suggested that this variation may be related to the shape of the upper surface of the anomalous mantle zone beneath the array. 3-dimensional ray-tracing through a low velocity mantle zone whose upper surface is described by a simple quadratic surface, enables a reasonable fit between observed and synthetic slowness and azimuth anomalies. The attitude of the quadratic surface implies a surprising thickening of the anomalous mantle zone to the north-east of the array. This together with previous geophysical results suggests a possible local thickening of the anomalous zone exists along most of the eastern flank of the Kenya Rift. Such a model has previously been proposed to explain the Quaternary volcanic activity from the Huri Hills in the north, through the Nyambeni range to the Chyulu Hills in the south, all lying about 150 – 200 km to the east of the main rift.

Impaired Random Migration and Special Reactivity to Methylprednisolone in Young Guinea Pig Macrophages - Prokić, Ljubica M.; Vilić, Ivanka M. (Neonatology, 1990)
Macrophage (Mφ) migration ability and its susceptibility to methylprednisolone (MP) action, both in vivo and in vitro, were compared in young and adult guinea pigs. The random migration of oil-induced peritoneal Mφ was tested by the capillary tube method. The obersvation of Mφ locomotion from 4 to 44 h of incubation showed that cells obtained from young animals had a smaller migration ability than those of adults. Besides that, differences in reactivity to MP were observed between the compared groups. The application of MP in vivo led to the stimulation of young Mφ migration in vitro, but inhibited adult Mφ migration. The exposure of adult Mφ to MP in vitro did not affect their motility, but migration of the young Mφ, as previously, was stimulated. Thus, the presented findings report about the immaturity of young Mφ random migration and its special reactivity to MP.

Teacher participation in curriculum development: A model and field study in Tanzania - Punch, Keith F.; Bayona, Elias L. M. (International Journal of Educational Development, 1990)
This paper outlines a model for teacher participation in curriculum development, and reports reactions to the model based on a large scale field study in Tanzania. The model comprises six principles of curriculum development, five levels of decision-making with teachers represented at every level, and national guidelines for the process of development. A representative sample of teachers, curriculum developers, school inspectors, school heads, ministry officials and teacher educators reported strong support for the model in all its aspects. However, while developing a curriculum development model and establishing that there is widespread support for it may be necessary conditions for success, they are not sufficient. The paper therefore concludes by anticipating likely implementation problems and how they might be resolved.

Understanding the Gap Between Entry and Exit: A Cohort Analysis of African American Students' Persistence - Robinson, Tracy L. (Journal of Negro Education, 1990)
In American society today, a college education is perceived as a status symbol, a measure of academic achievement, and the beginning of professional and monetary opportunity. For African American and other underrepresented minority groups, a college degree is particularly important. Many African Americans who earn college degrees enter professional careers; thus, education is a means to cross barriers and realize progress as well as a bridge to institutional development and national growth. Gaining equal access to quality education has long presented a formidable challenge to minority students in the United States. Despite recent increases in graduation rates among African American high school students, the number of African American students enrolling in college and subsequently receiving baccalaureate degrees is declining. It is not enough for African American students to simply enroll in institutions of higher education; enrollment does not necessarily result in degree attainment. Of the African American students who do enroll in college, many do not stay long enough to graduate. Given the significance of a college degree, African American student retention should be a priority for colleges and universities.

Geochemical difference of basalts between polygenetic and monogenetic volcanoes in the central part of the Cameroon volcanic line. - Sato, H.; Aramaki, Shigeo; Kusakabe, Minoru; Hirabayashi, Jun-ichi; Sano, Yuji; Nojiri, Yukihiro; Tchoua, Félix M. (Geochemical Journal, 1990)
The 1600 km long Cameroon volcanic line is composed of large polygenetic volcanoes and small monogenetic volcanoes. The latter conform monogenetic volcano groups consisting of small lava flows, cinder cones and maars. Chemical analyses on basalts from the central part of the Cameroon volcanic line showed that CaO contents of the basalts of polygenetic volcanoes are higher than those of monogenetic volcanoes, while the reverse relation is found for SiO2 contents. Incompatible trace elements are high in both basalts, but HFS/LIL ratios and La/Ba ratio are higher for polygenetic volcanoes than monogenetic volcanoes. Rb-Ba-La relations, representing the most incompatible elements for uni-, di- and tri-valent cations, indicate that basalts of polygenetic volcanoes are similar to depleted mid-oceanic ridge basalts, whereas, the basalts of monogenetic volcanoes are akin to continental flood basalts or oceanic island basalts. It is suggested that the major sources of the polygenetic volcanoes are the upwelling asthenosphere underneath the African plate, while those of the monogenetic volcanoes are the lowest portion of the subcontinental lithosphere.

A Comparison of Faculty Dominance in U.S. and South African University Classrooms as It Relates to Cross-Cultural Relations. - Schnell, James A. (1990)
The South African educational system and race relations were studied in the context of effects on cross-cultural relations in the classroom. An examination of South African faculty perspectives was compared and contrasted witht U.S. faculty perspectives and was interpreted in relation to the cross-cultural relations that exist in the two countries. Faculty attitudes were compared through the use of a written survey. Based on the responses received, South African faculty (N=112) were found to be more consistent than U.S. faculty (N=97) and clearly indicated a preference for faculty dominance in the classroom (compared to U.S. preference for diversity and permissiveness). It was maintained that the reason for this was that South African faculty members, naving less interaction with culturally different people, do not recognize that there are cultural perspectives other than those held by their own cultural group. It is noted that as long as this condition exists in the Souch African classroom, the communicative climate in the classroom will result in negative cross-cultural relations and the hampering of social change.

Cross-Cultural Toleration and its Effects on Classroom Communication in South African Universities: A Survey of South African Faculty Members. - Schnell, James A. (1990)
An examination of cross-cultural toleration in South African university classrooms and speculation on the causes and effects of this toleration are presented in this paper. South African faculty attitudes are surveyed and compared against U.S. faculty attitudes. Findings expose the need for improvement regarding cross-cultural communication in the South African university classroom and an understanding of linguistic differences such as style, nonverbal behaviors, and high and low context communication process. Survey results are attached.

Developing training materials for team work training in primary health care: preliminary results from Tanzania - Shoo, Rumishael; Msuya, Cleopas (Health policy and planning (Print), 1990)
The national continuing education programme for health workers in Tanzania embarked on development of training materials by concept mapping. Modules on the management of diarrhoea in the community were developed in simple English by three members of the health team. The short modules consisted of things which were essential for health workers to know and do, plus those things of which they needed to be aware in order to delegate them to other members of the team. Cloze test, fog index and developmental testing were used to test the modules. The doze test yielded a frustration level index of up to 50% among nurses and 100% among environmental health assistants, but 93% of medical assistants could use the materials with some help. Materials developed in simple English were found to be usable by persons with 12 years or more of formal education. Developmental testing was found to be the most practical method of assessing and developing materials under field conditions. As a technique, concept mapping was found to be a powerful process for bringing members of the team together to plan and develop materials. Further work on this technique is recommended.

Lecturers’ and students’ perceptions of the role and value of the residential school at the University of Zambia - Siaciwena, Richard (Distance Education, 1990)
Abstract The residential school, held once a year, usually for two weeks, is an integral and compulsory component of distance education at the University of Zambia. It is, however, expensive for students and can discourage prospective students from applying for distance learning courses. This notwithstanding, residential schools have advantages. This article summarizes the findings of a study in a Zambian setting in which both lecturers and students felt that the residential schools have important educational benefits, such as, enabling lecturers to discuss difficult issues with and providing direct academic guidance to students. The paper does not discuss, in depth, why difficult issues arise, nor does it argue that direct academic guidance is essential. The arguments against residential schools perhaps need to be pursued more vigorously, such as, the barrier to entry for those unable to attend.

Special Education in South Africa - Skuy, Mervyn; Partington, Hazel (International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 1990)
THE APARTHEID POLICY in South Africa has legally separated its 35 million inhabitants into four official racial groups. Political power and privilege have been vested entirely in the white group (i.e., 14% of the population), while the blacks are sociopolitically disadvantaged. The systems of education and special education strikingly reflect, and are a product of the divided, inequitable society. The majority of black South African students are academically retarded due to the inadequacy and inequity of the educational and sociopolitical system. Moreover, facilities for black handicapped children both within and outside the mainstream are extremely limited. For whites, there are far better facilities for disabled children, but their education system tends to be conceptually antiquated and narrow‐minded. The past decade has seen some improvements in the provision of special education facilities and in the approach to education generally. Significant political changes are now occurring in 1990, which are heralding the downfall of the apartheid system and are likely to produce a major overhaul of the education and special education systems for all children. However, the enormity of numbers involved remains a major problem and calls for innovative solutions.

Rainfall, biomass and the pastoral economy of Niger: assessing the impact of drought - Sollod, Albert E. (Journal of Arid Environments, 1990)
Ground-based biomass measurements, systematic aerial reconnaissance and NOAA AVHRR and Landsat data were used to define the geographic limits of dry season pasture in the southern part of the pastoral zone of Niger. This dry season pasture, referred to as the pastoral habitat, was of such overwhelming importance to the well-being of the pastoral system that it could be used to define the sample frame for a meso-scale drought early warning system. Normalized rainfall departures for 1957 to 1987 from multiple sites in the pastoral habitat inferred the common perceptions of recent interannual climatic variations in Niger and their impacts on the pastoral economy.

Welcome to My House: African American and European American Students' Responses to Virginia Hamilton's House of Dies Drear - Spears-Bunton, Linda A. (Journal of Negro Education, 1990)
The first section of this article addresses the relationship between reader response and culture. The second section consists of portraits of a teacher and her students as they navigated their way through a series of African American literary texts. Most of my remarks focus on Virginia Hamilton's House of Dies Drear (1968) because the reading of this text marked a turning point for the teacher and students I observed. The portraits are drawn from a study which sought to explore the cultural dimensions of reader response among poor and working-class African American and European American high school students (Spears-Bunton, 1989). Ethnographic data including class observations and interviews were collected from a single eleventh-grade honors English class of 28 students for six months. The school in which the data were collected serves two neighborhoods-one mostly African American, the other mostly European American-with a history of racially motivated animosity between them. All subject names used in this article are pseudonyms.

Rendezvous in Rhamu Teaching and learning with traditional birth attendants in rural Kenya - Steele, Carol; Pacenta, Norrna (Bulletin of the American College of Nurse-Midwifery, 1990)
When Carol Steele came to Rhamu, Kenya, in 1983 as a Quaker, Peace, and Service volunteer, there was little or no contact or cooperation between the Government Health Center personnel and the traditional birth attendants of the surrounding villages. The two groups were worlds apart in thinking, attitudes, and practices. The government center was viewed as alien by the people, with nothing to offer them except emergency care. The health center personnel viewed the traditional birth attendants as uneducated, unskilled women, who jealously kept clients away from the professional obstetric care the clinic provided. It was Carol Steele's plan to bring these diverse groups together in a professional, trusting relationship. Her success in accomplishing this task is the theme of this article.

Benefitting from basic education, school quality and functional literacy in Kenya - Stephens, David (International Journal of Educational Development, 1990)
The study of gender ideologies is concerned with describing and explaining cross-cultural similarities and differences in human views on women, men, and alternative gender identities. The use of the term ‘ideology’ reflects two aspects of research on this topic: (a) its roots in the feminist position that women are conceptualized as inferior to men to justify and sustain social and cultural systems dominated by men; and (b) the culturally constructed (as opposed to ‘natural’) nature of gender. Key foci in this predominantly, but not exclusively, anthropological area of research include: (a) the ideological gendering of private vs. public social domains; (b) the extent to which a nature–culture distinction organizes gender ideologies about women and men; (c) the nature of intrasocietal organization of diversity in gender ideologies; (d) the ideological gendering of colonialism, nationalism, and international relations; (e) dialogue between ‘third world’ and ‘first world’ feminists on the universality vs. ethnocentrism of first world feminists' supposed claims that women are universally ideologically subordinated to men; and (f), theoretical and political debate over the appropriateness of binary as opposed to nonbinary concepts of gender, with the latter providing more conceptual room for attention to alternative sexual identities and social change in gender identities.
