Historic Landscape

Tirad Pass is an important passage in going to the Cordillera in Northern Luzon where a battle was fought when Gen. Del Pilar held his ground in defending the main force of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in his escape to Isabela from the ensuing American forces. The study was conducted for historical emphasis which is considered necessary for more objective comprehension among the present generation. Photos and documentations were used and subjected to focus group discussion and in depth analysis. A guide questionnaire was also used to interview key informants. Findings revealed that the place is a steep slope with natural barricade of rocks that its geographic character would be of advantage to anybody who uses it. The escape of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo from Bulacan all the way to Ilocos Sur led him to consider going northeast towards the Cordillera via the Tirad Pass upon the advice of Gen. Del Pilar as the Americans started to deploy their troops along the Ilocos Coast for a total blockade, giving them more chances to be ensnared. It is concluded that Tirad Pass influenced the country’s history and the cooperation of the people is an element in the preservation of this historic landmark. Recommendations, among others, were centered on the drafting of a Sustainable Development Plan for Tirad Pass being a historical site as well as a tourist destination.Keywords: History,Tirad Pass, descriptive Research, Ilocos Sur, Philippines

Several commissions and committees have been set and recommendations proffered, but up till today there is still fiscal conflict among the tiers of government.

This study aimed to assess the representation of literary texts and their actual practice at Grades 9 and 10 in general secondary schools in Ethiopia. The study employed descriptive research design involving both qualitative and quantitative methods. Participants were selected purposively. Textbook analysis, classroom observation and focus group discussion were data sources. The textbook and classroom observation data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Whereas, the focus group discussion data were analyzed qualitatively using thematic analysis. Findings showed that poems took the lion’s share in the literary texts. However, short stories, novel extracts, moral stories, fables and true stories were scarcely found in the textbooks. Besides, the findings revealed that language skills and language areas incorporated in the literary texts focused more on developing reading and speaking skills. Moreover, the findings obtained from focus group discussion and classroom observation showed that teachers were not regularly practising literary texts due to teachers’ lack of pedagogical skills, students’ lack of interest to learn literary texts and the difficulty nature of the literary texts.

The article critically reviews and discusses the findings and recommendations of the Australian Senate Inquiry into the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); and suggests strategies to achieving the SDGs within and beyond Australia. By employing the focus group discussion method, it critically discusses the report as per the Inquiry’s terms of reference and looks at Australia’s responses to the SDGs both domestically and internationally. It underscores the engagement of government, including the Official Development Assistance, and non-government organisations, and the private sector. To accelerate the implementation of the SDGs, it argues that greater awareness of the SDGs, attitudinal change and systematic implementation and action are needed locally, nationally and globally. The SDGs require an approach that is beyond national interest, focusing on world development that leaves no one behind.
