Girl Child and Education in Public Primary Schools in Pirrar Division in Transmara District, Narok County, Kenya by Kiptoo Richard Maritim Pdf

Education was considered as a key to a country’s development. This was the reason why countries all over the world invested heavily in education. While it was true that primary education opportunities had continued to expand in Kenya, a significant number of girls were not completing their studies, despite the Free Primary Education offered. There have been alarming dropout rates of primary school girls in Pirrar Division, in Transmara District, Narok County. The factors that led to this had not been adequately investigated and well understood, hence to find out the factors affecting girls’ education. The study was based on the Agrarian Transformation of socio-cultural change. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors affecting girls’ education in primary schools. Three research questions were formulated to guide in this study. The objectives of the study were; to establish factors affecting the girls’ education in the division as well as to compare the enrollment of girls in primary schools and also to suggest possible solutions put in place by the government to safeguard the education of girls and suggest possible solutions against these factors. The locale of the study was Pirrar Division, Transmara District, Kenya. The study targeted public primary schools in Pirrar Division, Transmara District, Kenya, headteachers, teachers and pupils from these schools, Zonal Assurance Officers and District Quality Assurance Officer of Transmara District. The research adopted a survey design. It targeted teachers and pupils (girls) of primary schools in Transmara District. This study targeted 32 schools in Pirrar Division with a population of 6,580 pupils, 259 teachers, 3 ZQASO and 1 DQASO. The sample of this study was 180 pupils, 27 teachers, 1 ZQASO and 1 DQASO. That was 9 schools out of 32 were selected for sampling. This study employed questionnaires and interview schedule as research instruments. Piloting of the research instruments was done in four schools to test the validity and reliability of research instruments. The researcher also consulted the supervisors’ expertise in research to approve the content validity of the instruments. Test-re-test method was used to determine the reliability of the instruments. The data collected was coded and analyzed according to opinions derived through statistics using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences and was presented in form of tables, charts and graphs. From the research findings among the factors that affect girls’ education are early marriages, poverty and child labour, cultural practices and beliefs and pregnancies. The study found out that the enrollment of girls was lower than that of boys between 2008-2012. The government has put in place education and sensitization, enactment of law, building of boarding schools, free primary education, use of health services and education of girls in the division. The study recommends that the government should enact law that make education for all school age children and use county governments in sensitizing citizens on the importance of education.

Education Outcomes and Poverty by Christopher Colclough Pdf

What do we know about the outcomes of education in developing countries? Where are the gaps in our knowledge, and why are they important to fill? What are the policy challenges that underlie these knowledge gaps, and how can education best contribute to eliminating the problem of widespread poverty in the developing world? This book arises out of a five year, DFID-funded programme of research examining the impact of education on the lives and livelihoods of people in developing countries, particularly those living in poorer areas and from poorer households. Based on highly innovative research that addressed common research questions across four countries in Africa and South Asia, the book presents new theoretical and empirical knowledge that will help to improve education and poverty reduction strategies in developing countries, through an enhanced recognition of education's actual and potential role. In addition to introducing the reader to a wide range of conceptual and policy-related problems concerning the impact of education on individuals and society, the book: provides the field of educational research with a contemporary economic and socio-cultural reassessment of educational outcomes in relation to poverty. discusses the challenges and priorities facing policy makers, practitioners and the international development community in improving the outcomes of education, particularly for the most disadvantaged in Africa, South Asia and other low income countries; identifies the key theoretical and methodological challenges involved in researching the outcomes of education for the poor. This book will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of international and comparative education, education policy, development studies, African and Asian studies and related disciplines, and to those working on education policy at national or international levels in governments and international institutions. Education has an extraordinarily important role to play in efforts to eliminate poverty world-wide. This book reveals the nature and complexity of these relationships and provides indispensible pointers to the kinds and extent of policy changes that are required.

Gender, Education and Development by Christine Heward,Sheila Bunwaree Pdf

This book grounds the education of women and girls in the realities of their lives and experience in diverse areas of the developing world. Moving beyond the previous emphasis on access to education to problematise its content and the way it is experienced, the case studies range from the Arakambut of Peru to the changing experience of racialised education in South Africa. The contributors take issue with the World Bank's view that the education of girls and women is important primarily as a cost-effective mechanism for making women more economically productive. Including an overview chapter on the impact of structural adjustment on education throughout Latin America and Africa, the book provides detailed information on Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Ethiopia, Tanzania, South Africa, Niger and Mauritius. It meets the urgent need to understand the education of women and girls in their economic, political and cultural contexts.

Humans and Hyenas by Keith Somerville Pdf

Humans and Hyenas examines the origins and development of the relationship between the two to present an accurate and realistic picture of the hyena and its interactions with people. The hyena is one of the most maligned, misrepresented and defamed mammals. It is still, despite decades of research-led knowledge, seen as a skulking, cowardly scavenger rather than a successful hunter with complex family and communal systems. Hyenas are portrayed as sex-shifting deviants, grave robbers and attackers of children in everything from African folk tales through Greek and Roman accounts of animal life, to Disney’s The Lion King depicting hyenas with a lack of respect and disgust, despite the reality of their behaviour and social structures. Combining the personal, in-depth mining of scientific papers about the three main species and historical accounts, Keith Somerville delves into our relationship with hyenas from the earliest records from millennia ago, through the accounts by colonisers, to contemporary coexistence, where hyenas and humans are forced into ever closer proximity due to shrinking habitats and loss of prey. Are hyenas fated to retain their bad image or can their amazing ability to adapt to humans more successfully than lions and other predators lead to a shift in perspective? This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in the environmental sciences, conservation biology, and wildlife and conservation issues.

Postgraduate Supervision by Magda Fourie-Malherbe,Ruth Albertyn,Eli Bitzer Pdf

ÿThe 24 chapters contained in this volume provide diverse but also congruent perspectives on future foci for research into postgraduate education and supervision in the knowledge society. The chapters move from deliberations on challenges for postgraduate supervision at macro level (such as the pressure to increase postgraduate output and the implications of increasingly managerialist institutions) to meso level matters (the form and function of postgraduate education in specific countries) to the micro (rich case studies of individual institutions, programmes and supervisors).

Data for Agrarian Development by C. D. Poate,P. F. Daplyn Pdf

This book provides a comprehensive guide to collecting and managing farm-level agricultural data in developing countries. Many development workers face the need to collect data for planning, monitoring or evaluation of a project, or to use data collected by other people. The book explains how to plan, design and manage a survey, and introduces basic analysis and report writing. Unlike other books in this field, the authors deal with the statistical aspects of practical sample designs, and give worked examples to help the reader. The techniques and practical advice will help readers who are collecting data to improve the quality of their surveys and will help people who have to use data assess how reliable those data are.

Parks in Peril by Katrina Brandon,Kent H. Redford,Steven Sanderson Pdf

Using the experience of the Parks in Peril program -- a wide-ranging project instituted by The Nature Conservancy and its partner organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean to foster better park management -- this book presents a broad analysis of current trends in park management and the implications for biodiversity conservation. It examines the context of current park management and challenges many commonly held views from social, political, and ecological perspectives. The book argues that: biodiversity conservation is inherently political sustainable use has limitations as a primary tool for biodiversity conservation effective park protection requires understanding the social context at varying scales of analysis actions to protect parks need a level of conceptual rigor that has been absent from recent programs built around slogans and stereotypesNine case studies highlight the interaction of ecosystems, local peoples, and policy in park management, and describe the context of field-based conservation from the perspective of those actually implementing the programs. Parks in Peril builds from the case studies and specific park-level concerns to a synthesis of findings from the sites. The editors draw on the case studies to challenge popular conceptions about parks and describe future directions that can ensure long-term biodiversity conservation.Throughout, contributors argue that protected areas are extremely important for the protection of biodiversity, yet such areas cannot be expected to serve as the sole means of biodiversity conservation. Requiring them to carry the entire burden of conservation is a recipe for ecological and social disaster.

Requiem for Nature by John Terborgh Pdf

For ecologist John Terborgh, Manu National Park in the rainforest of Peru is a second home; he has spent half of each of the past twenty-five years there conducting research. Like all parks, Manu is assumed to provide inviolate protection to nature. Yet even there, in one of the most remote corners of the planet, Terborgh has been witness to the relentless onslaught of civilization.Seeing the steady destruction of irreplaceable habitat has been a startling and disturbing experience for Terborgh, one that has raised urgent questions: Is enough being done to protect nature? Are current conservation efforts succeeding? What could be done differently? What should be done differently? In Requiem for Nature, he offers brutally honest answers to those difficult questions, and appraises the prospects for the future of tropical conservation. His book is a clarion call for anyone who cares about the quality of the natural world we will leave our children.Terborgh examines current conservation strategies and considers the shortcomings of parks and protected areas both from ecological and institutional perspectives. He explains how seemingly pristine environments can gradually degrade, and describes the difficult social context –a debilitating combination of poverty, corruption, abuses of power, political instability, and a frenzied scramble for quick riches –in which tropical conservation must take place. He considers the significant challenges facing existing parks and examines problems inherent in alternative approaches, such as ecotourism, the exploitation of nontimber forest products, "sustainable use," and "sustainable development."Throughout, Terborgh argues that the greatest challenges of conservation are not scientific, but are social, economic, and political, and that success will require simultaneous progress on all fronts. He makes a compelling case that nature can be saved, but only if good science and strong institutions can be thoughtfully combined.
