Design Logic

We propose a framework of 29 Future School Elements that can be used to consider future models of schooling which we have organised across three pillars of pedagogy, policy and structure. We seek to position the framework within a futures approach to policy making that allows for greater diversity by providing a design logic that can be contextualised, is more pluralistic and can be shaped by a greater number of voices. The findings from our modified Delphi study involved an expert panel who examined the counterfactual research question ‘What if compulsory schooling was a 21st-century invention?’ Consensus statements were formed by the expert panel by rating items based on impact and equity. We explore ways in which utilising a foresight approach can provide a means to reshape future models of schooling in a meaningful and contemporary way that takes account of some of the challenges and forces that have prevented change.

Successful Employment

Even with affirmative action legislation and diversity programs, organizations struggle to create a diverse and inclusive 21st-century workplace. The purpose of this qualitative, classical Delphi study was to gain consensus among diversity leaders in the federal contractor community about best practices for the successful employment of diversity and inclusion in the workforce, both to meet affirmative action regulations and to incorporate 21st-century social categories, such as veterans, males, females, age, sexual orientation, minorities, disabilities, and LGBTQs. Incorporating a diverse workforce above and beyond the requirements of affirmative action gives companies a competitive advantage over companies that fail to do so.

This paper is an assessment of provision recreational sports facilities in Nigerian Universities in the 21st Century. The researcher having seen that adequate sports facility is an essential element in the effective delivery of sports program in Nigerian Universities, assessed some basic facilities in the first generation and some second generation Universities respectively. The data revealed that Nigerian Universities do not have sporting facilities befitting their status especially the second generation Universities. The paper went further to present some basic considerations for the provision of recreational sport facilities in Nigerian Universities. The role of Universities in the provision of recreational facilities was equally discussed in the paper. Finally, the paper recommends among others that Federal Government should declare a state of emergency on sporting facilities in Nigerian Universities because of the commonality in the problem of inadequacy and unavailability of standard recreational sports facilities in virtually all the Universities in Nigeria.
