The Impact

In today's economic globalization, education plays an important role in public management. It can not only improve the overall quality of human society, but also a way of cultural communication. This paper mainly introduces the concept of public management and the characteristics of educational economy, and expounds the calculation method of educational economic contribution rate. Then, through investigation and research, this paper finds that there are many factors affecting educational equity. The most direct reason is that the government and schools lack reasonable planning for private schools, resulting in imperfect school facilities and high employment pressure on students; on the other hand, the rapid economic development leads to the shortage of talent supply, which leads to the decline of education quality. At the same time, based on the survey results, this paper finds that the penetration rate of primary and secondary education in Uzbekistan has increased significantly, the cultural level of adults and youth has improved, and gender equality in primary and secondary education opportunities.

PurposeThe current study provides insights on the application of critical soft TQM practices in primary and secondary education and their impact on teachers' job satisfaction (TJS).Design/methodology/approachBased on a review of the literature related to TQM application in primary and secondary education, six soft TQM elements were traced as critical to the success of TQM implementation in the school environment: participation/involvement in continuous improvement, teamwork, empowerment, appraisal systems/recognition and reward for quality, training and development (T&D) and leadership (vision/commitment to quality culture). Moreover, their relationship to JS was theoretically founded and empirically tested. An online questionnaire was used as the research instrument. The participants were 200 primary and secondary public school teachers working in urban, semi urban and rural regions of Greece. After assessing the validity and reliability of the measurement scales, multiple regression analysis was applied to test the hypothesized relationships.FindingsThe research findings revealed that leadership and empowerment are the most highly implemented TQM practices in primary and secondary education. Moreover, participation/involvement, appraisal systems/recognition and rewards and leadership were the TQM elements that had a positive association with TJS.Practical implicationsThe outcomes of the study are of help to school principals and policy-makers in order to design and implement TQM policies that advance the quality of teaching and the effectiveness of processes in the primary and secondary education system, as well as to satisfy and motivate teachers for continuous improvement.Originality/valueThis was, to the best of our knowledge, the first study that has explored the impact of soft TQM elements on TJS.

The Impact

Reduced inequality and gender equality are parts of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) towards global development, but the financial sector appears daunted in respect of financial inclusion for these noble goals. Concerns are more on gender inequality in the area of full utilisation of financial and human resources. Hence, this study investigated the impact of financial inclusion on gender inequality in sub-Saharan Africa. The study employed the generalised method of moments (GMM) estimation method on panel data on some countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The result of the study revealed that financial inclusion substantially reduced gender inequality. Financial inclusion access was found to drive down gender inequality more than usage. Female educational levels were found to have a substantial but negative impact on gender inequality. This study recommends that there is a need for an increase in commercial bank branches to increase accessibility to financial services. The government should increase its expenditure, and this should be channelled towards financial development and higher levels of education for females to improve financial literacy.

Abstract:IMPACT OF LEARNING STRATEGIES, SELF-EFFICACY AND GENDER ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT STUDENT´S SECONDARY EDUCATIONThis paper analyses the impact of personal variables related to learning strategies, in the interaction with the gender, on academic achievement students´ secondary education. The study takes a sample of students from North of Portugal and from Galicia, and the results in a Subscale Academic Goals and Learning Strategies of Refema-57 Scale. The results show that learning strategies and toward self-efficacy have a significant and positive impact on academic achievement, and the superficial strategies (and exams anxiety) become very relevant, but in these cases the impact has a negative sense, and the differences of feminin gender become more relevant. Therefore, the ensemble of personal variables considered in this study explains 30% of total variance of students ´ academic achievement in North of Portugal, and only 12% in Galicia. Here, probably other variables related to family, the school, the curriculum or the teachers become more relevant.Key words: Academic goals, learning strategies, self-efficacy, academic achievement.Resumen:En este trabajo se analiza el impacto de variables personales relacionadas con las estrategias de aprendizaje, en interacción con el género, del alumnado de educación secundaria en su rendimiento académico. El estudio considera una muestra de alumnos de Norte de Portugal y de Galicia, y se ha utilizado la subescala de Metas Académicas y de Estrategias de Aprendizaje y Autoeficacia a partir de la Escala Refema-57. Los datos sugieren que las estrategias de aprendizaje y la autoeficacia se pueden asumir como factores determinantes positivos del rendimiento académico, existiendo también un impacto, pero en sentido negativo, de las estrategias superficiales de aprendizaje (de ansiedad ante los exámenes), siendo las diferencias encontradas mucho más relevantes en el género femenino. Sin embargo, este conjunto de variables personales del alumnado explican en torno a un 30% de la varianza del rendimiento académico global de los alumnos del Norte de Portugal, quedando ese valor en apenas un 12% cuando nos referimos al alumnado de Galicia. En estas muestras de alumnado, otras variables de la familia, de la escuela, del currículo o del profesor tendrán una mayor relevancia.Palabras clave: Estrategias de aprendizaje, autoeficacia, rendimiento académico.

Due to the new governance paradigm, the government involves civil society and private and public sectors instead of being a single actor in its activities. This paradigm represents a collaborative governance practice with the New Public Management principles. The government optimizes the village funds through a cash-for-work scheme that implements village development by allocating 30% wages. The purpose of this study is to examine the government's efforts to reduce cash payments and workforce in various activities. The research problem is focused on the impact of collaborative governance implementation in cash-for-work schemes in Jembrana Regency, Bali Province. Furthermore, the collaborative governance principles are examined as a state administration's new paradigm. Jembrana Regency was selected as the research location because it highly utilizes the village funds with a cash-for-work scheme than other regencies in Bali Province. This study used descriptive analysis and determined informants purposively. The results show that collaborative governance has a socio-economic impact on cash-for-work schemes, reducing the urban bias and related practices. Moreover, these results indicate counter-disruption in cash-for-work schemes, which do not apply to non-cash payments, digitization, and workforce reduction. The limitations of this study lie in the locus coverage and research focus.

The Impact

The difficulty in accessing loans is one of the major barriers to the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam. Low accessibility to capital forces SMEs to spend both official and unofficial costs in order to obtain loans, and/or to access the unofficial market at higher interest rates, thereby increasing cost of production of enterprises. Studies suggest that the determinants of bank loan processing through which small and medium enterprises can access official loans include: characteristics of enterprises; indicators, reflecting the performance of enterprises; characteristics of loans; characteristics of enterprises, enterprise owners; geographical position of enterprises; the creditworthiness of enterprises and the role of the network.Purpose of the study.The aim of this paper is the quantitative analysis of the factors, affecting accessibility to credit capital of small and medium enterprises in Vietnam.Materials and methods.This study was conducted on the basis of a survey in December 2017. The survey includes 301 enterprises in Hanoi city. Selected enterprises are also enterprises, surveyed in the annual enterprise survey by the General Statistics Office of Vietnam. This paper uses the Probit and Logit regression approach to estimate the impact of factors, affecting the disbursement probability of a loan of an enterprise. The number of SMEs accounts for 56.69% of the samples. The number of enterprises, applying for a bank loan accounts for 58.4% of the total samples, of which the percentage of disbursed loans for SMEs accounts for only 47.3%. For enterprises without a bank loan, eliminating the reasons for the lack of demand and unwish to be in debt, the main reasons not to access bank loans are high interest rates, complicated loan procedures and insufficient collateral.Results.The results obtained from the Logistic and Probit models show that the estimated coefficients are statistically significant, affecting the probability of taking a business loan, accepted by financial institutions. Although the coefficients, estimated from Logistics model are larger than those estimated from the Probit model, the estimated results show that the direction of impact of the variables in two estimation techniques gives quite similar results.Conclusion.Based on the results of this study, the Government of Vietnam should implement policies to support SMEs in the direction of improving their access to capital. The credit institutions should design products and services suitable to the characteristics of SMEs in Vietnam.

The government policy directive to secondary schools has been to diversify their programs to include vocational and technical education in the 6-3-3-4 system in order to make provision for students with varying aptitudes. This article explores the impact of this policy by examining some factors affecting the implementation of the policy in private secondary schools in Edo state. Subjects for the study were fifty (50) students, fifty (50) teachers and five (5) principals randomly drawn from five(5) private secondary schools in Edo State. The study utilized interviews, observations and a questionnaire to assess the implementation of government policy onvocational and technical education in private secondary schools in Edo State. The findings showed that there was a dearth of qualified teachers for vocational and technical subjects, poor infrastructure, lack of equipment, instructional materials and books. The schools were not adequately financed. It was observed that the federal government did not make adequate preparations before it issued directives for the take off of the programs in the schools. Recommendations were made for the federal government to sensitize the public on the importance of vocational and technical education, as it plays a vital and indispensable role in the economic and technological development of the country.

The Impact

As academic activities and research performances become important criteria in evaluating the quality of a university, research activities have received a special concern from universities. The key questions are what prompts faculty members to do research and how to motivate them. In order to answer these questions, it is necessary to examine the factors affecting the research motivation, then measure the impact of these factors on the faculty members' research motivation. In this study, the authors employed the expansive expectancy theory proposed by Chiang & Jang to investigate key factors that motivate faculty members to conduct research. The regression results on data collected from a survey on 475 faculty members at universities in Hanoi showed that faculty members are motivated by the intrinsic instrumentality factor (INTIN), financial value factor (FINVA) and expectancy factor (EXPECT – the factor that yields controversial results in previous studies). These findings suggest that the research motivation of lecturers has a positive correlation with academic degree, administrative position and has no relationship with age and gender.
