In Ghana and many countries in Africa and beyond, many researchers in various research institutions including some police training institutions are less familiar with police training practices because of the scanty information available on this subject. This paper therefore aims at providing novice researchers with a starting point in becoming more informed when it comes to police training practices. This literature is shared with the aim of providing a basic understanding when it comes to police and their training practices in Ghana. This paper looked at areas like the history of policing, the concept of training, police training practices, philosophy informing police training programme, scope of training in the Ghana Police training academies, efficacy of training, role of policing in Ghana, training methods in the Ghana Police Service and the challenges facing police training academies. Methodologically, the National Police Training School, the Ghana Police Academy and the Winneba Police Command and Staff College were the focus of this paper by providing secondary data to furnish this paper. Also, based on observational evidence at the police training schools, researchers had enough literature to support scholarly evidence. It has been revealed from the review that the most effective teaching and learning method that is used by the police training academies is classroom instruction which is solely delivered in English Language as the medium of instruction [1]. It has also been deduced that lecture method had the largest impact on trainees learning. Also, it was observed that most of the trainees took within 6-8 months to complete their training programme. Finally, it was clear that lack of proper equipment/ logistics, lack of infrastructure, inadequate number of instructors, lack of motivation of instructors, interference in the recruitment process from top-level management, low level of technology, and poor maintenance culture were identified as the major challenges faced by the police training academies. Based on these challenges identified and listed, researchers recommend that Government and other stakeholders of the police service must help to provide good training facilities, infrastructure and enough funds to support quality training delivery. Also, the stakeholders must help to minimize the rate of political interference during the recruits’ selection processes with the help of parliament enacting a law or devising a code of conduct. In addition, it is recommended by the researchers that the Government, in collaboration with the Ghana police administration, and the Ministry of Interior must improve upon the level of motivation and salary packages of the police service to make it more interesting and attractive to the youth which will in turn keep them in the police force to help maintain law and order in the country and to lift up the moral standards in the Ghana Police Service. The paper also recommends that more instructors should be recruited in order to balance the teacher-student ratio and improve the quality of teaching delivery in the training academies. Lastly, researchers recommend that the government in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior through the police administration should establish a progressive capacity building programmes for officers and trainees to acquire new skills and effective ways of enforcing law and order and to be abreast with changing environment in order to empower the police agencies to properly use the computer and other forms of technology in their daily operations.

Abstract Aims Quality improvement (QI) training in Junior Doctors (JDs) is essential for providing High Quality Care for patients and facilitating organisational success. The aim of this study was to systematically review the evidence on QI training in JDs and determine the impact and effectiveness of training methods. Methods A systematic review was conducted as per PRISMA guidelines. Searches were carried out using MEDLINE, EMBASE and HMIC for English-Language articles between January 2005 to December 2019. Selected articles underwent critical appraisal using the CASP criteria by two independent reviewers. A qualitative and thematic analysis was conducted. Results 43 studies were identified in a range of medical and surgical specialities. Common QI methodology included theoretical and project-based curricula with content focussing on PDSA cycles, root causes analyses and project development. Majority of studies reported improved knowledge, leadership skills and satisfaction. Mentorship and coaching were highly valued, but few studies adhered to this practice. Few studies demonstrated increased QI engagement. Key themes identified (i) Effectiveness of QI training (ii) Barriers to engagement (iii) Organizational culture of fostering QI. Conclusion There is growing mandate for training JDs in QI practices to enhance patient care. QI curricula targeting JDs have demonstrated improved knowledge and leadership skills. Nonetheless, significant barriers in QI engagement endure. Additional research is required to combat disengagement and assess sustainability of QI interventions in JDs. We further aim to introduce a pilot QI training programme for surgical JDs to enhance leadership skills.

Effective Assessment

Skills development is imperative to sustaining traditional growth and development in a country like India which is experiencing a demographic dividend. It is a huge challenge not only for the government, but also for the private sector and educational institutions to rise up and specialize to make the country’s youth employable and ensure that there is no mismatch between demand and the offer. This study examines the role of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Grameen Kaushalya Vikas Yojana (DDU-GKY) in the development of rural youth in the Haryana State. Secondary data (2015-2021) were used for the study. The results show that the interest of the population towards DDU-GKY and the interns recruited has greatly diminished, which is a matter of concern. Key Words: Demographic Dividend, Inclusive Growth, Smart Cities, Skill India

The aim of this study is to investigate how the African novelists have domesticated the English language to suit their environments, experience and purpose. Specifically, the literary pieces – The Last of the Strong Ones (Strong Ones), House of Symbols (symbols), Children of the Eagle (Children) and the Trafficked of Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo were x-rayed. This exploration adopted the Hallidian Systemic Functional Linguistics, which highlights how language is used. The textual method of data analysis, the primary and secondary data collection methods were employed and the results showed that the African literary artists in general and the Igbo Nigerian novelists in particular have taken on a unique style of writing in the African vernacular style. For that reason, the speeches of the characters are laced with dignified local appositives, high profile Igbo songs and tales, studded local proverbs, lexical transfers, ritzy transliterations and so on; and these have given African rhythm to the English language. This notwithstanding, the aura, glamour and credibility of the English language as the medium of communication are retained.
