An Assessment on the Challenges Facing Girl- Child Education among the Namads in Kenya: A Case Study of Bute Division Wajir District.
(Kampala International University, bachelors degree of education, 2007-04) Omar Enow, Adan
Migrants, and particularly nomads, are among the most marginalized social groups, and are widely excluded from educational provision, despite pledges of education for all. The phenomenon of movement itself presents many challenges for both providers, and would be users, of educational services. Around the world, the provision of education for nomads has reflected and been instrumental to particular stances on pastoral development. The links between education and development are explored specifically in the case of a transhumant pastoral group in North Eastern Kenya. The research paper reveals education for all as an ideological notion, reflecting values that contradict those of nomadic groups and argues that the value positions underlying this notion need to be articulated and further contextualized if it is not simply to reflect existing, and exclusive hegemonies.

Teaching approaches and the reading skills of pupils of Mituntu Primary School in Tigania District, Kenya
(Kampala International University.College Of Education, 2007-08) Victor, Mutabari Mbaabu
The study was conducted to establish the effects of teaching approaches on the reading skills of pupils of Mituntu primary school. This was after the researcher realized that many pupils had reading difficulties and therefore, the researcher suspected that the approaches used to teach reading could be ineffective. Therefore, the researcher tried to find out the effects of the teaching approaches on the reading skills basing on four areas namely: teaching strategies, educational resources, reading readiness and classroom management. This was according to the main areas discussed in the reviewed literature. The researcher used the survey method to conduct the study. A total of eighty (80) respondents who were sampled from standard five, six, seven and eight participated. They filled questionnaires whose responses were later analyzed. The results indicated that the approaches used to teach reading are ineffective and so leading poor reading skills among the learners. This is so because the teaching strategies/methods are not effective, as teachers do not combine various methods. The educational resources are inadequate and not effectively used. The reading evaluation procedures are also ineffective all leading to poor reading skills among the learners. The researcher therefore recommends that teachers and other stakeholders in the education sector makes intervention under the four areas of study in order to alleviate the problem of reading.

Conducting and compiling this research study has been challenging but quite an educative experience. Challenging in the sense that both time and money was not easy to come by. However, it was gratifying to enter into the world of the most neglected individuals; the mentally retarded learners. Being in their midst, researching and recording about them will always be a worthwhile lifetime experience. The work is organized into five major parts as indicated in the table of contents. All the stake holders are therefore encouraged to look at this work in relation to other related studies in order to enrich their knowledge on the importance of education to the mental retarded learners.

Examination Irregularities and Preparation of Students in Provincial Schools Meru South District Kenya.
(Kampala International University, bachelors degree of education, 2007-08) Vincent, Nunda Agutu
The occurrence of examination and assessment irregularities can seriously change public confidence in the validity and legitimacy of examination and assessment results and should be dealt with as a matter of urgency within the judicial framework established for this purpose. Thus, the National Policy on the conduct of Senior Certificate examinations indicates that a senior certificate may not be issued to a candidate found guilty of an irregularity even though he/ she satisfies the requirement for a senior certificate, pending the holding of a hearing. The problem that emerge where candidates fail to appear for a hearing as it raised the question whether the department each causes the results of a candidate without the said candidate having personally presented his/her case. The purpose of this paper is to address this issue in lieu of common law development prior to the advert of the constitutional dispensation and the way in which Section 34 of the 1996 Education Act has altered the common law rule. Utilizing strict exams offers a number of potential benefits. However cheating remains a major concern. This paper is a case study that describes the researchers attempt to document and prevent cheating in an exam. They offer details of the efforts to reduce both the likelihood and the impact of c\heating. The prevention of cheating haws been the subject of much attention but insufficient attention has been given to other problems of dishonesty. We survey the types of problems that can occur and what can be done about them we believe many educators are un aware of these problems and most countermeasures proposed are insufficient

It was hoped that the results of the study would lead to : I. Contribute on how best to improve the academic performance of history. 2. To improve on the teaching- learning environment of history. 3. To stimulate other scholars to carryout further research in history and other related subjects. The study was guided by 3 hypotheses i.e i) There is a relationship between students attitude towards history and their performance ii) Students' sex is related to their attitude. iii) There is a relationship between students' sex and their performance in "O" level history. The data collected revealed that: I. The students attitude and their performance was related 2. The students sex and their attitude was related 3. The students' sex and their performance were related though with negligibi!~ariance. <>/ From the study seen above the following recommendations were made. I. Teachers should help students to develop good attitude towards history 0< 2. The Ministry of Education should make sure that the policies g¥ered towards vocationalisation of education do not underestimate some subjects. 3. The Uganda National Examinations Board should not be much tight on minor areas of historical invents since it has a strong influence on what is taught Generally, since this was an exploratory study, it can not be regarded as conclusive. Therefore there is need for further research beyond this one in order to come up with a clear picture of the subject under study.
