Against the objective of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), this study investigated impediments to the reading competence of primary school learners in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria. The objective was to determine how reading approaches such as pointing at words, vocalization and sub-vocalization, excessive eye fixation, regression as well as involvement in extensive reading and teachers’ instructional techniques relate with the academic performance of learners at the basic education level. The study which employed a simple survey design raised three hypotheses as a guide, while 200 pupils selected through a stratified random sampling technique responded to an achievement test of a 12-item questionnaire. The resulting data were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Statistics. The findings revealed that wrong reading approaches, learners’ non-involvement in extensive reading and teachers’ instructional techniques significantly relate with the reading competence of learners in Nigerian primary schools or the basic education level. Based on the findings, the study recommended among other things that teachers should diversify and improve on their instructional techniques to meet the current objectives of the Millennium Development Goals.

The study evaluated Universal Basic Education (UBE) programme at the primary school level in Lagos East Senatorial District of Nigeria. It used the descriptive design of survey type and CIPP evaluation model. The sample comprised 450 teachers and 45 head teachers using multistage sampling technique. Educational Resources Inventory Scale (ERIS) (r = 0.78) and Learning Resources Utilization Scale (LERUS) (0.69) were used in data collection. Frequency counts, simple percentages, median, mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. Results of analysis showed that writing materials, multimedia learning aids, good and conducive classroom, measuring instruments like ruler, compass and instructional materials were the adequate (Median = 3.00) educational resources in primary schools located in the District. The result further showed a progressive increase (Mean > 58.04) in enrolment of pupils. Teachers were found to be adequate (Mean = 10.62) in number when compared to the national standard of 1:40 teacher-pupil ratio. However, funds for the smooth running of the schools were grossly inadequate (Mean = 1.00). Lastly, the finding revealed that teachers adequately utilized (Median = 3.00) the available educational resources in the schools. The conclusion was that resource and fund gap still widely exist among primary schools in the District. It was therefore recommended that government should be more alive to its responsibility of providing requisite educational resources in all public primary schools supported with an initiative to make funds available.

Is Basic Education Level of Labor have a role in Reducing Poverty in Indonesia?Improving the quality of human resources through education is believed as one of the solutions to reduce poverty. World attention to education in global ’Education For All program’ and the ’Millennium Development Goals’, suggests that basic education become central program in reducing poverty. If there was a linear relationship between education and income, improved education at basic level would not increase revenues substantially. This study aim is analyzing the role of labor education level toward poverty. Using panel data, this study found that basic education level of labor has a significant role to increase poverty, whereas higher education levels of labor significantly reduce poverty in Indonesia. Keywords: Labor Education; Poverty; Indonesia; Panel Data AbstrakMeningkatkan kualitas sumber daya manusia melalui pendidikan diyakini sebagai salah satu solusi untuk mengurangi kemiskinan. Kepedulian dunia internasional terhadap pendidikan dalam gerakan global ’Pendidikan Untuk Semua’ dan ’Tujuan Pembangunan Milenium’, menegaskan bahwa pendidikan dasar menjadi pusat untuk mengurangi kemiskinan. Ketika terdapat hubungan linier antara pendidikan dan pendapatan, maka meningkatkan pendidikan hanya pada tingkat pendidikan dasar tidak akan meningkatkan pendapatan secara substansial. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran jenjang pendidikan tenaga kerja terhadap kemiskinan. Menggunakan data panel, studi ini menunjukkan bahwa secara signifikan jenjang pendidikan dasar tenaga kerja berperan meningkatkan kemiskinan, sedangkan tenaga kerja dengan jenjang pendidikan lebih tinggi signifikan mengurangi kemiskinan di Indonesia.

Development Goals

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) provide a framework for measuring the progress of nations. Several of these goals relate to child malnutrition, which remains an important contributor to child morbidity and mortality, accounting for approximately 45% of child deaths globally. A high proportion of undernourished children still live in Africa and parts of Asia, and the uneven rate of reduction in the prevalence of various types of child malnutrition among different income groups worldwide is worrying. Attempts to reduce child malnutrition should therefore begin from the grassroots by improving primary healthcare services in developing countries with particular focus on basic requirements. Adequate nutrition should be provided from birth, through infancy, preschool and early childhood to adolescence. The overall strategy should be one of careful and meticulous planning involving all development sectors with an emphasis on a bottom-up approach within a stable and disciplined polity; the MDGs will be only be useful if they are seen not as narrow objectives with unidirectional interventions but as multifaceted and co-ordinated. The setting of deadlines, whether 2015 or 2035, should not be emphasised so as to avoid hasty decision making. The top priority should be the implementation of the essential social services of basic education, primary healthcare, nutrition, reproductive health care, water and sanitation in partnership with the developed economies.

This study investigated the extent of Parent Teacher Associations’(PTA) involvement in the management of Broadhurst primary schools in Gaborone. To achieve this objective three research questions were developed. The study adopted a descriptive survey type of research design. A sample of 313 was drawn from the population of 1736 out of 8 primary schools in Broadhurst, Gaborone. A random sampling technique was used to select participants from parents and teachers. A structured questionnaire titled “Extent of PTA involvement in Primary School Management” was used for data collection. The instruments were validated by a panel of experts. A reliability coefficient of .76 was obtained from trial testing of parents and teachers rating of extent of PTA involvement in the management primary school. Data collected was analysed descriptively for means and standard deviations. The study indicated that PTA involvement in school management is low on issues of maintaining desirable behaviour in schools and fund raising activities. It is however significant (mean 2.52) which is above the criterion mean of 2.50 when it comes to improvement of academic performance. The study concluded that the PTA involvement in management of schools benefits learners as Gaborone region was rated among the best performing in Botswana. It was therefore recommended that policies and guidelines governing PTA should be developed by Ministry of Basic Education and Training to maximise the benefits of this collaboration.

Achieving universal primary education is the second Millennium Development Goals that Benin missed in 2015 with a national rate of 74 percent. The reasons for this failure are varied with notable spatial specificities. The present research aims to contribute to the analysis of the specific causes of this failure in the Bantè Commune. The data used relate to the number of children enrolled in schools, the number of schools, and the number of settlements (villages, hamlets, and manned farms) on several dates in the Commune. In addition, information was collected from selected households in several localities. Individual interviews and groups as well as direct field observations were the collection techniques used. The tools and parameters of the descriptive statistics and the cartographic approach made it possible to process the data collected. The results show a disparity in the spatial distribution of primary schools compared to inhabited places. The result shows a geographical inaccessibility of schools for the children of many hamlets and farms. This situation is mainly inherent to a spontaneous settlement dynamics which characterizes the Commune. This concern, therefore, deserves consideration if access to primary education is a global challenge that is again relaunched by 2030. This is usually done within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals.
