The study population was 150 and a sample size of 109 respondents.In conclusion, it is noted that there is a statistically significant relationship between deforestation and micro-climate change in Kiringente sub-county, Mpigi District, Uganda and hence the null hypothesis was rejected.The study recommended that the government of Uganda should prioritize the development and implementation of comprehensive policies and regulations that promote sustainable land management practices and discourage deforestation. These policies should include strict enforcement mechanisms to combat illegal logging and land-use practices that contribute to deforestation. The government should invest in capacity building and awareness programs to educate local communities, stakeholders, and policymakers about the detrimental effects of deforestation on the microclimate. This can be achieved through workshops, training sessions, and public campaigns that highlight the importance of preserving forests for climate regulation, water resources, and biodiversity conservation. NEMA (National Environment Management Authority) should play a crucial role in addressing deforestation and its impact on microclimate change in Kiringente sub-county, Mpigi district, Uganda. Firstly, NEMA should strengthen its regulatory and enforcement mechanisms to effectively monitor and control deforestation activities. This includes conducting regular inspections, imposing penalties on illegal loggers, and collaborating with law enforcement agencies to ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

- ItemDetermining global solar radiation incident on tilted surfaces with different tilt angles at the department of physics Makerere University(Kampala International University , College of Education, Open & Distance Learning, 2013-12) Kirya Robert, KentSolar radiation data at horizontal level, tilted surfaces and in the atmosphere is an important feature in solar energy applications such as photovoltaic systems for electricity generation, solar collectors for heating and passive solar devices. This study presents an investigation of the dependence of global solar radiation incident on a tilted surface on some meteorological parameters for different tilt angles based on measured meteorological data of sunshine, relative humidity and temperature at Makerere University. Empirical models relating global solar radiation on tilted surfaces and meteorological data were formulated using data of six months. The proposed empirical model for the estimation of daily global solar radiation on the tilted surfaces assessment based on the statistical analysis with the Mean Bias and Root Mean Square difference that is in good agreement with the measured data on a tilted surface is = —0.2614 — 0.2386(RH) + 1.5822 (~~-~) + 0.1065 (~~) H0fl 65 Tmin In comparison with the other tilt angles the model yielded a RMSE of 4.2654, with a low (poor) correlation coefficient of 0.3743 at a 95% confidence interval and MBE of 1.5801. Analysis of data for a period of 3 years, towards the verification of Akoba’s (2009) model, the study recommends a new model = —0.9227 — 0.1405 (~) — 0.0335(RH) + 3.2826 (~2~) that capitulated a RMSE of H0fl N 65 2.5985, with a correlation coefficient of 0.8863 at a 95% confidence interval and MBE of 2.3391.
- ItemHead teachers’ Communication Modes and Teachers’ Productivity in Secondary Schools, Makindye Division, Kampala District.(College of Education open, Distance and E-Learning of Kampala International University., 2022-05) Bukenya, Susan EdithThe current study was carried out among all the 16 secondary schools found in the eight parishes of Makindye division, Kampala district of Uganda.

Specifically the study sought to establish the headteachers’ dominantly used mode of communication in secondary schools in Makindye Division, Kampala District; to examine the level of academic staff productivity in Secondary schools in Makindye division, as well as to establish the correlation between headteachers’ communication modes and the productivity of teachers. All the 16 secondary schools and 198 teachers of S4 and S6 participated in the study. Using arithmetic means and pearson correlation coefficient to analyze data, the findings revealed that staff meetings are the dominantly used mode of communicating to teachers, yet student assemblies are the dominant mode of headteachers’ communication with students in secondary schools in Makindye division. The least method of communicating to teachers is the usage of staff notice boards, yet for students, suggestion boxes are least used. Secondly, staff productivity was high, and there was no significant correlation between headteachers’ dominantly used mode of communication on the productivity of teachers in secondary schools, Makindye Division, Kampala District (sig<0.061). The conclusion made was that teachers’ high output can be explained by other factors, not the dominantly used mode of communication by headteachers. The researcher recommended that there is need for school managers (head teachers and deputy head teachers) to improve communication by communicating more effectively, clearly and timely to their subordinates (teachers) as well as to the students.

Head teachers should understand the values of their teachers and try to build their teaching strategies, plans, processes and practices that will likely to improve the wellbeing of staff. Also, Head teacher’s authoritative leadership style will decrease employee performance. So they should try to avoid this type of leadership style.

- ItemInternal efficiency of free primary education Tana north district, Kenya(Kampala International University, College of Education Open and Distance Learning, 2011-04) Abdi Haji, DaudThis study sought to establish the level of internal efficiency of Free Primary education in Tana North District. It was found out that internal efficiency in the area of study is very low and the following factors were identified to have contributed to the problem admission of under-age children and quality of classroom practice have been identified as responsible for such a low rate of internal efficiency, parents’ involvement in the learning activities are very low, the lack of resources, some pupils study under shades of trees they actually don’t study when raining, poor feeding programs, high teacher pupil ratio etc. Repetition is one indicator of the internal inefficiency of an educational system. In Kenya, primary school repetition is high and as such, constitutes wastage particularly, and of course problematic to the state, parents and individual pupils/victims. It is conceptualized that efficiency as applied to educational achievement combines both qualitative and quantitative variables and relates inputs to outputs. An efficient educational system should enable pupils graduate within the time frame prescribed. If students spend more time than is required there is wastage. The study was carried out using descriptive survey study design. The researcher used questionnaires, check list and interview schedules as research tools. Analysis of documented data was also done to gather relevant data. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analyzed. Qualitative data were analyzed in narration form while quantitative data were analyzed by use of 0/s, means and frequencies. Tables were used to present data for easy interpretation, To combat this phenomenon in the primary school system in Kenya, the government has resorted to experiment on some strategies namely: Compensatory Education, Competency-Based Teaching Approach, Automatic! Administrative Promotion in addition to the New Pedagogic Approach with apparently, significant results in the reduction of repeating. It is concluded that these strategies based on a pupil — centered philosophy/pedagogy tend to promote learning and consequently, increase promotion in primary schools.
