    The Impact of Corruption on Educational Systems
    (Eurasian Experiment Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences (EEJHSS), 2025) Asiimwe Kyomugisha T.
    Corruption remains a pervasive impediment to national development, with particularly damaging consequences for the education sector in Nigeria. This study investigates the nature, scope, and effects of corruption on the Nigerian educational system, analyzing its implications for educational quality, accessibility, equity, and national development. Drawing from empirical evidence, case studies, and global perspectives, the paper identifies key forms of corruption, such as examination malpractice, embezzlement, procurement fraud, and nepotism, that have eroded the integrity of educational institutions. The study further explores how both petty and grand corruption perpetuate inefficiencies, undermine human capital development, and deepen socioeconomic disparities. Policy responses and successful international interventions are evaluated, with a focus on structural reforms, accountability mechanisms, and civic engagement. The review concludes that systemic reform, institutional transparency, and strong regulatory frameworks are essential for restoring credibility and effectiveness in education. The paper recommends that policymakers, education administrators, and anti-corruption agencies mitigate corruption's detrimental effects and rebuild trust in Nigeria’s educational system

    The Influence of Music on Social Movements
    (Eurasian Experiment Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences (EEJHSS, 2025) Asiimwe Kyomugisha T.
    Music has long served as a vital force within social movements, articulating collective identity, amplifying emotional expression, and sustaining momentum during times of political struggle. This paper examines how music, through its emotive power, lyrical messaging, and communal performance, has functioned not merely as a background element but as a dynamic agent of resistance and transformation. Drawing on historical and contemporary case studies such as the Civil Rights Movement, the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong, the Arab Spring, and the Black Lives Matter movement, this study explores the multifaceted roles music plays: from protest songs that unify and inspire, to digital-age dissemination via social media and festival performances that mobilize and magnify activism. Furthermore, the paper interrogates how music shapes collective memory, psychological resilience, and political messaging in activist cultures, while also recognizing the limitations and critiques regarding its commodification and fluctuating efficacy. By analyzing genres, performance practices, and sonic structures, this work offers a critical lens into how music functions as a cultural expression and a political tool in social movements.
