Item Social loafing among learner support staff for open and distance education programmes in south-western Nigeria: the imperative for counselling intervention(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Ofole, N. M.A descriptive survey design was adopted to investigate the relationship that exists amongst locus of control, work engagement, organizational reward system, job satisfaction and social loafing among the staff of distance learning programme in South-western Nigeria. Four hundred and forty-seven (males = 184; females = 263) learners support staff with an age range of 22 to 55 years were randomly drawn from open and distance learning universities located in South-western Nigeria. They responded to five standardised self report questionnaires. The results show that the majority (67.6%) of the respondents reported different forms of social loafing. There was a significant gender difference in the social loafing behaviour scores of male and female [t (445) = 0.773, p < 0.01]. Male respondents reported more social loafing behaviour (x? = 40.95) than their female counterparts (x = 25.48). There was a positive relationship between locus of control and social loafing though not significant. The relationship among job satisfaction, work engagements as well as reward system and social loafing were inverse. It concluded that personal and organisational factors predispose workers to social loafing. It is recommended that ODL management should also put in place better systems of reward practice and recognition. Counselling intervention is also required to reorient learner support staff who are loafers at OD institutions.Item Bilingual and multilingual medium of instruction policy: A panacea for creating an Inclusive learning environment in Nigeria(2024) Adetunji, A.R.; Fakeye.D.O; Aiyede, E. I.This paper examines the potential of bilingual and multilingual medium of instruction (MOI) policy as a solution for creating an inclusive learning environment in Nigeria. With over 250 ethnic languages and a complex linguistic diversity, Nigeria's education system faces significant challenges in providing equal access to quality education for all students. The dominant use of English as the sole MOI has resulted in a linguistic barrier, marginalizing mother-tongue speakers and perpetuating educational inequalities. This research argues that a well-implemented bilingual and multilingual MOI policy can address these challenges by promoting linguistic diversity and inclusivity, enhancing academic achievement and cognitive development, fostering cultural preservation and identity, bridging the gap between home and school languages, empowering marginalized communities through a critical analysis of existing literature, policy documents, and stakeholder interviews, this study explores the benefits, challenges, and implementation strategies of bilingual and multilingual MOI policy in Nigeria. The findings highlight the need for a contextualized and flexible approach, taking into account regional language dynamics, teacher training, and resource allocation. This research contributes to the ongoing debate on language policy and education in Nigeria, providing evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders to create a more inclusive and effective education system. By embracing linguistic diversity, Nigeria can unlock the potential of its diverse student population and foster a more equitable and harmonious society.Item Impact of the Level of Maternal Education on Maternal and Newborn Health in Nigeria(Faculty of humanities Redeemer's university, Ede, 2022) Afolabi, A.; Kayode, A.A.; Badayi, M.S.Cross-sectional studies have shown a number of factors Chat impact maternal health, including socioeconomic status, health-seeking behaviours, and education. The objective of this study was to establish the impact of maternal education on maternal and newborn health in Nigeria. The design adopted for this study was retrospective. The 2018 NDHS and global data were used as primary sources for the study. Predictive factors responsible for good health indicators were considered for all the States in Nigeria. The educational status of the mother and utilization of maternal and newborn health Services were considered for analysis. The result showed a strong link between maternal education and maternal health in Nigeria, just as it exists in other parts of the world. It was concluded that maternal education knits many social parts together and creates a whole piece of interaction, creating a better health outcome. Literate women were more likely to deliver in health care facilities under the supervision of skilled birth attendants. They are also more likely to present themselves and their newborns for postnatal care. The benefits of maternal education extend beyond just the direct recipients of the education; children also benefit from maternal schooling as maternal education significantly reduces the risk of not accessing maternal and newborn health Services. Therefore, more attention should be given to girl-child education as a strong social determinant of health when devising strategies to reduce maternal mortality and to achieve universal health coverage in Safe Motherhood.Item Women and the breadwinning roles: the place of entrepreneur education(Department of Social Work University of Ibadan,, 2022-06) Ukpabi, I. D.Men's major function in most African communities, Nigeria being no exception, is being the breadwinners for the family. Nonetheless, as more women obtain education and join paid employment, and as some men lose jobs, conventional breadwinning roles are challenged and, in some cases, inverted, thereby making an increasing percentage of women family breadwinners. Women breadwinners may have an impact on family stability since they challenge established normative gender order in Nigerian patriarchal society. Now that more women are entering breadwinning positions unprepared for, with the majority lacking formal education and training, there is a need for each woman to develop a conscious and purposeful strategy to ensure that she is able to fit in correctly in the breadwinning role status. As a result, there is a need for entrepreneurial education for women. Furthermore, entrepreneurship is a deliberate endeavor aimed at beginning, developing, inventing, and mainstreaming economic activity for the generation and distribution of wealth. As a result, women's entrepreneurship development might be viewed as a feasible path to economic emancipation. A woman entrepreneur is more economically powerful than a worker since ownership, not only imparts control over assets but also allows her to make decisions. As a result, this article investigates women and their breadwinning duties, as well as encouraging women to sustain the Nigerian economy through entrepreneurial education. As a result, this article investigates women and their breadwinning duties, as well as encouraging women to sustain the Nigerian economy through entrepreneurial education.Item Evolving education development plan strategy for Ondo State(2021-06) Isuku, E. J.The problem of high cost of education to both governments and parents, poor quality of school outcome, and declining public funding for education among many others, have continued to impose serious challenges to most state governments over the years. These challenges have the capacity to restrict the provision of quality education delivery, and subsequently limit the human capital stock necessary for overall national development. This underscores the need for government to evolve an enduring education development planning strategy that will address the aforementioned problems. This paper therefore discussed the actionable areas of concern in Ondo state education sector, which include: access to all levels of education, quality of school output, cost and financing, and effective management of the sector. The paper highlights the actions to be taken in order to improve the quantity and quality of education service delivery in Ondo state, Nigeria
