    Knowledge, attitude and practice of cybercrime among secondary school students in Nigeria
    (Fafunwa Educational Foundations ( FEF) In Collaboration with The Faculty of Education, University of Lagos, Akoka-Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria, 2020-09) Olasunkanmi, I. A.; Adebayo, C. A.
    The Internet, which has opened a vast array of possibilities for the young and the old in the social, economic, education, health and other sectors, has been flawed by the rise in internet crimes regarded as unethical use of the computer and internet which could cripple the nation's economy if not given attention. These include cyber fraud (yahoo-yahoo), plagiarism, pornography, and piracy of software. Reports have shown that perpetrators of these cybercrimes have been assumed to be youths usually within the ages of 15 and 30 years. Despite various efforts put in place to address the menace it appears the unwanted practice still persists. It seems that youngsters enter into the practice ignorantly and with confused attitude to it. Therefore, this paper investigated students' awareness of computer ethics, knowledge, attitude to and practice of computer ethics among Junior Secondary School 3 students in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study is a descriptive survey design using with a total of eighty-five (85) participants. The results show that majority of the students were aware of the ethical and unethical use of the computer/internet, few of the respondents are very knowledgeable as regards computer ethics and they have a positive attitude towards computer ethics. Each of the respondents engages in more than two unethical ways of using the computer/internet. The paper concludes that secondary school students engage in unethical use of computer/ internet despite their awareness, knowledge and a show of positive attitude to ethical use of computer/internet. It is recommended that appropriate legal measures should be taken to curb the practice among secondary students in Nigeria.

    Knowledge, education and employability of Nigerian graduates
    (Philosophy of education association of Nigeria, 2016-10) Omoregie, C. O.
    This paper accentuates the fact and reality that there are many qualified graduates in Nigeria without jobs. Although governments, institutions of learning and organisations are responding to this social problem in myriad of ways, there is need to ask why the proposed solutions seem not to be producing the expected results. An argument that this position holds is that human capacity building has enormous power to solve the problem of unemployment when individual talents are allowed to be expressed rather than put prospective workers on the guise that some courses are more professional and profitable than others. The non-formal education possibilities, therefore, portend a more realistic solution to the problem of unemployment by collective appreciation of human being for who they are rather than make them serve as materials and machine for consumption only
