Material and Methods: Descriptive survey research design was followed to obtain desirable results. The target population of this study consisted of all those who participated in different sport at the university level of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. Amongst them, we selected a representative sample (n=389 fifty 50% of the total population) with the help of a simple random sampling technique. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version, 24 was used to code and analyse the data. The hypotheses were tested by applying statistical tests like Step-wise regression and independents sample t-test. The significance level of 0.05 was fixed to accept or reject the set hypotheses. Results: Findings of the study indicated that existing resources, facilitators, and trainer/coach attitude significantly influences life skills acquisition among student-athletes (.001, .001 & .000 < .05). The analysed data revealed no significantly difference regarding extent to which specific challenges such as existing resources, facilitators, and trainer attitude influences the acquisition of life skills (.500, .133 & .149 > .05).

The Relationship

Insurance Regulatory Authority report in Kenya reveals that in the informal sector, players had no sufficient information on insurance to enable them purchase insurance for their businesses. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between awareness and uptake of insurance products in Kenya. Target population for the study comprised of 1124 teachers in public primary schools in Nakuru Sub-County from which a sample of 92 teachers was drawn using simple random sampling technique. Primary data was elicited from teachers using questionnaires that were administered to teachers using the drop and pick method. Validity in the study was determined using expert opinions while reliability of instruments was determined by computing the Cronbach reliability coefficient from pilot questionnaires. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and linear regression done to assess the relationship between insurance awareness and uptake of insurance products. Hypothesis testing was done. The tests were done at a significance level of P= 0.05. The study found out that the level of awareness on insurance significantly influenced its uptake therefore wrong information translated to low insurance uptake. The insurance regulatory authority together with other players in the insurance industry should come up with more robust and reliable mechanisms for disseminating correct insurance information to the public. This would ensure that people make the right choices on insurance, thus enhance insurance uptake

ICT has permeated all spheres of human endeavours in this 21st century of information-driven society, education sector inclusive. Consequence upon this development, teachers as stakeholders are not left behind in the aspect of training and retraining to acquire relevant skills in the usage of ICT in order to be ICT-compliant and use same in their teaching methodologies. This paper, therefore, examined ICT competency of serving teachers for quality instructional service delivery in Aminu Saleh College of Education, Azare, Bauchi State, Nigeria. The study adopted survey research design as questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection from the sampled serving teachers. The questionnaire used for this research was structured on three components of ICT: Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation, Internet Usage and Usage of projector/interactive multimedia board. Simple random sampling technique was used to draw sample of 196 from the population of entire academics totally 436 currently serving in the area of the study using sample size table provided by Research Advisor. The instrument used for the study was validated by the specialists in the fields of Computer Science and Measurement and Evaluation. The reliability index of the instrument yielded 0.82 using Crobanch alpha reliability technique. The results revealed that academics have skills in the usage of Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation for effective instructional service delivery. Besides, it was found out that the serving teachers possess technical-know-how in Internet usage for gathering materials for their lessons, but lack skills on how to operate projector/interactive multimedia board for their lectures. It was also discovered that age, gender and years of experience had significant influence on the level of ICT skills acquisition and usage of serving teachers. However, there was no association between educational qualification of serving teachers and their level of ICT skills acquisition. The study recommends that Bauchi state government, in conjunction with College authority, should organize seminar on how to use and operate projector as well as interactive multimedia board for quality instructional service delivery by the lecturers.
