Multistage Sampling

This study focuses on the youth and the parent fighting future unemployment through present combination of apprenticeship with studentship.  A phenomenon of which little is known, conducted in 4 selected secondary schools in Ondo state, Nigeria. Data through a multistage sampling technique, from 160 students’ terminal mean scores of third and first terminal results of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 sessions respectively, were analyzed. Results showed that consideration of the possibility of future unemployment has significant relationship with students’ combination of apprenticeship with academics [r (158) = 0.211, p < .05] among others. Although parents seek to play safe regarding future employment opportunity for their children,   differences in mean scores in academic performance indicate that those who did not combine studentship with apprenticeship (M=515.75; SD=171.58) outperformed those who did (M=513.52; SD=146.24). Similarly, combined activities have a direct relationship with stress capable of affecting physical and mental life of students thus casting doubt on the future safety net of the decision.

The aim of the study was to examine the influence of financial resource management on the students’ academic performance in public secondary schools in Lang’ata sub-county, Nairobi County- Kenya. The study was premised on behavioural leadership theory propounded by Kurl Lewin in the 1930’s which emphasizes that people can learn to become leaders through training and observation. The following research questions were formulated to guide the study: What is the influence of budget management on students’ academic performance in public secondary schools in Lang’ata sub – county, Nairobi County? ; What is the influence of financial controls on the students’ academic performance in public secondary schools in Lang’ata sub – county, Nairobi County? ; What challenges do Principals of Public secondary schools face in the management of finances?; What strategies, with regard to financial resource management, are used by Principals of Public secondary schools in Lang’ata sub-county to improve academic performance?   Descriptive research design was adopted for the study. The study was conducted in public secondary schools. The target population comprised five (5) public secondary schools. Purposive sampling technique was used to draw 5 principals, 5 bursars, 5 B.O.M representatives, 15 H.O.Ds, 30 teachers and 200 students’ representatives giving a total of 260 participants. Data was collected using questionnaires, interview schedules, and observation schedules. A pilot test was conducted on some staff to ensure the validity of the instruments. Data obtained through open-ended questionnaires was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Ethical issues such as confidentiality, informed consent, privacy and anonymity were given paramount considerations. Therefore, the findings of the study revealed that financial resources management can truly affect student’s academic performance. Furthermore, the researcher found out that not all staffs are involved in budget making or financial plans of the schools. Additionally, the researcher found out that most students are suffering due to lack of finances by their parents and guardians. Finally, financial stability goes hand in hand with educational success. Truly all teachers and staff need full adequate finances in order to ensure that the school’s programs run smoothly and with ease for all. Also the researcher found out that most students studying in public schools have fees challenges, especially those in the slums like Kibera constituency – Lan’gata Sub County. The study recommends that all Bursars and Boards of Management Representatives should be appointed with their merit certificate to the specific spot of the work in order to avoid any corruption in the field of their duties within the school environment. Additionally, students, should be provided with adequate teaching/learning materials; the teachers, heads of departments, finance committee, top management and the principal should treat the students fully as learners, and they should not dismiss any student from the school due to lack of fees; they should also provide counselling/ social workers departments to check on the students welfare and their mental problems regularly.  Finally, the study recommended the following for further study; financial resource management and its influence on student’s academic performance in private secondary schools in Lang’ata sub-county, Nairobi county-Kenya: to find out whether there are similarities in the findings of the study between public secondary schools and private secondary schools.R

The study investigated the levels of stigma consciousness among physically challenged students in tertiary institutions in Oyo State. It ascertained the effect of stigma consciousness on the academic performance of physically challenged students. Also, the study determined the relative influence of self-image on stigma consciousness of physically students. Furthermore, it examined the influence of self-image on stigma consciousness of physically challenged students. These were with a view to providing information on the factors that could influence stigma consciousness of the physically challenged students. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. The population for the study comprised physically challenged students in tertiary institutions in Oyo State. Three institutions (University of Ibadan, The Polytechnic Ibadan and Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, Oyo) were purposively selected within Oyo State because they have the physically challenged students. A sample size of 120 physically challenged students were selected from the institutions using proportionate random sampling technique. One adapted instrument with two scales was used to collect data from the students. The scales were “Stigma Consciousness Scale (SCS) and Self-Image Questionnaire (SIQ). Data collected were analysed using percentage, frequency counts, one-way ANOVA and multiple regressions. The results of the study showed that 4.8%, 88.6%, 6.7% of tertiary institutions in Oyo State demonstrated low, moderate and high levels of stigma consciousness respectively. The results showed that there was no significant effect of stigma consciousness on the academic performance of the physically challenged students (F (2.102) =0.059, p=0.943). It was also discovered that there was a significant positive influence of self-image on stigma consciousness of physically challenged students (N=105, t= 0.198, p< 0.05). Finally, the results showed that the self-image (β =0.019, F=1.98, p<0.05) contributed significantly in influencing stigma consciousness with coefficient of multiple regression (R2) of 0.164  at p < 0.05. It was concluded that self-image could influence stigma consciousness among physically challenged students in tertiary institutions.
