- ItemAcademic Performance Between Foster Children and Pupils in General Population in Selected Primary Schools of Save Our Souls Children’s Villages Rwanda(Kampala International University, college of Education,open and distance -learning., 2011-09) Dusingizimana, VincentThis study focused on Foster Children and academic performance in selected Primary Schools of Save Our Souls (SOS) Children’s Villages Rwanda. The study was guided by the following objectives: (1) to find out the profile of respondents in terms of age and gender; (2) to determine the category of SOS foster children; (3) to determine the level of academic performance of SOS foster pupils and pupils in general population; (4) to establish the significant difference between SOS foster pupils’ level of academic performance and pupils in general population. The study utilized both descriptive comparative and ex post facto research designs. The data were collected from the sample of 152 pupils of both groups’ SOS foster pupils and pupils in general population, frequencies and percentage distributions have been used to determine the profile of pupils. The means have been used to compare the level of academic performance of SOS foster pupils and pupils in general population. Then t-test was used to determine the difference in the level of academic performance between SOS foster pupils and pupils in general population using Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings of the study were retrieved as following: (1) the majority of the SOS Foster Pupils were 10 years old while Pupils in General Population were 12 years. Age did not significantly correlate with any of school performance tests; (2) more than 50% of SOS Foster Pupils were male while Pupils in General Population were female and gender did not have a significant effect on performance; (3) A significant number of SOS Foster Pupils exhibited different infections comparing to Pupils in General Population; (4) majority of SOS Foster Pupils are double orphan; (5) majority of Pupils in General Population excelled than SOS Foster Pupils. It was concluded that (1) the hypothesis of no significant difference between the levels of academic performance of Save Our Souls (SOS) foster children and pupils in general population was rejected; (2) the hypothesis of no significant relationship between the levels of academic performance x between SOS Foster Pupils and Pupils in general population was confirmed because SOS Foster Pupils regress. Based on the findings of this study, the recommendations were drawn to these aspects: (1) teachers in SOS primary schools should be re-trained to use more practical-oriented approach to teaching pupils with emotional and behavioural or low intellectual ability problems such SOS foster pupils in particular. This will make them realize the importance of the lessons taught and not regard them as abstract. Interest will therefore be created in the foster pupils and their desire to be in school would be increased. Teachers need to motivate the children. When these are working at full power in an individual, remarkable feats of learning can be achieved. It is therefore in the teacher’s interest to take the trouble to see that the child’s interest and appropriate desires are aroused before trying to teach him/her; (2) to strengthen the efforts in providing positive psychosocial and educational counseling support to foster children especially in the area of foster care centres such as SOS Children’s Villages and (3) to introduce compensatory academic support to fostered children in their early years of schooling even in the absence of evidence of psychosocial problems.

- ItemAccess To and Use of Library Resources in Selected Secondary Schools in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania(Kampala International University, masters in Educational Management and Administration, 2010-09) Petro, FitinaThis study aimed at examining the use of library resources in Secondary Schools. The study employed the sample size of 330 respondents where 300 were Students, 20 were Teachers and 10 Librarians. These were conveniently selected from Kambangwa. Kiluvya and St.Peter’s St Marys, Kimara B, Zanaki, Azania and Jangwani, Kibamba, and Kibwegele Secondary Schools, all from Dar es Salaam. Simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used in selecting samples for this study. The major findings of this study show that, the accessibility and usage of libraries in Secondary Schools is still low. The shortage of time of using a Library, inadequate Library resources, shortage of space, lack of trainings to students and the lack of qualified Librarians were the problems facing Libraries. However, the study also found that, Students were aware of the importance of the library. This study therefore recommends that Libraries should have well documented selection and acquisition policy and allocation of enough funds for libraries. Also, Students should be trained on how to use a library. Based on the findings above this study concludes that, accessibility and usage of library resources are poor in Dar es Salaam. For any Secondary School library to meet its goals, School library resources should be utilized effectively by the students.

- ItemAn analysis of government education policy on the social development process of Mandera District Kenya(Kampala International University ,College of Education, 2010-09) Noor Sheikh, AliThe study was set out to investigate the prevalence of the five-child killer diseases and its cause effect on under-five mortality. It was driven by four major objectives; Determining the prevalence rate of the five child-killer diseases; Determining the proportion of mortality due to the five child-killer diseases to the total under-five mortality in the studying area; Examining the correlation between the five child-killer diseases and under-five mortality and Determining the cause effect of the five child-killer diseases on under-five mortality. The study used an entirely quantitative approach using secondary data between 2001 and 2015 obtained from the document of Adamawa state, Primary Health Care Development Agency (PHCDA). Data was collected regarding the number of children immunized, diseases and deaths due to Pneumonia, Diarrhoea, Measles, Tetanus, Polio and overall under-five mortality within that timeframe. The study used uni-variate descriptive analytical tools, measures of prevalence rate per a thousand, measures of proportionality, correlation analysis and regression tools for analysing and developing a model for describing the data. The results indicate that the prevalence rates have generally been decreasing with Pneumonia recording the highest prevalence and Tetanus recording the lowest prevalence. Polio was excluded from the analysis because it did not register any incidences or deaths. The data also showed that pneumonia and diarrhoea recorded the highest proportion of deaths while tetanus and measles recorded the lowest. The correlation matrix revealed that Pneumonia, Measles and Tetanus had strong positive and significant correlations with under-five mortality while diarrhoea had a weak positive and insignificant correlation. The regression model showed that there is a strong positive and significant relationship between Pneumonia and mortality and a weak non-significant relationship between diarrhoea and mortality. Furthermore, there was a strong but non-significant relationship between measles and mortality and a weak non-significant relationship between tetanus and mortality. The four variables explained 72.02 percent of the variation in overall mortality and the overall model was very significant. Due to high incidences of pneumonia and diarrhoea, the study made some recommendations and conclusions

The study also attempted to generate new knowledge from the existing body of information and to validate the theory on which this study was based. Using a descriptive correlation research design and documentary analysis, data obtained from 430 teachers in 19 rural schools and 11 urban schools were analyzed using simple percentage and comparison of mean and standard deviation. It was found that pupils perform better in urban primary schools than in rural primary schools (Mean: 1044.45, SD: 5.83 in urban primary schools; against Mean: 417.36, SD: 3.61 in rural primary schools based on PLE and Mean: 216.18, SD: 5.58 in urban primary schools; against Mean: 71.10, SD: 3.21 in rural primary schools based on End of Year Examination). This difference in performance resulted from some teachers attributes such as qualification and salary, and from school location and family socio-economic status. The researcher Recommends that an effective system of continuous professional development should be created; increment of primary school teachers’ salary should be envisaged, parents and guardians should be more involved in their children’s education; Parent-Teacher Associations (PTA) should be strengthened; and the Government should put more efforts in providing rural schools with learning resources and facilities.
- ItemAvailability and effectiveness of school health services in selected secondary schools in mwingi district kitui county, Kenya(Kampala International University, College of Education Open and Distance Learning, 2012-09) Wambua, EstherThe school is seen as a unique position for promoting constructive values to the young students. Health living is one of the values which any given education system must impart to its learners. The school should thus undertake the responsibility of fostering understanding the role of health programmes in which a couple of health services will be offered .A good school health programme will thus contribute to the maintenance and improvement of the health of students and the school fraternity as a whole. In this study which focused on the availability and effectiveness of school health services in Kenya, the researcher intended to find out how effectively the schools were offering health services to their learners. The study’s general objective was: To correlate between the availability and effectiveness of school health services in 23 selected secondary schools in Mwingi district, Kitui County, Kenya. Although not so much literature is available from direct studies done in other literature on the same subject, there is still little literature on child health related issues such literature was found relevant and where necessary quoted in this book. The major findings of this study where that health services are generally not being satisfactorily offered in our schools. The key areas in the expected health care package in school which rated very low in the effectiveness assessment included: Enough nurses, referral services, attendance to students complains. It is therefore recommended that all schools should have a minimum arrangement of health services and the government through the line departments in the relevant ministries such as Ministry of health, Ministry of education science and technology (MOEST), should effectively support the schools to develop and maintain an effective school health programme.
