O.; Fehintola, M. O.This study aimed at identifying some of the problems militating against functional basic education programme and from the teaching staff point of view in Oyo State of Nigeria. A self-administered questionnaire containing six subsections with forty-five (45) questionnaire items were utilized for this study. The overall reliability coefficient of the instrument used is 0.79. While stratified random sampling technique was used in this study and the sample size used is 519 participants that are made up of the teaching staff of all cadres. The study found, among others that, the teaching staff are not satisfied with the condition of service due to high handedness on the parts of AOPSHON executive and LGEA office officers, that the representative of SUBEB at each LGEA Office is not fair to the teaching by way of transferring their job to AOPSHON, that the teaching staff are not satisfied with the way the AOPSHON executives are running the affairs of primary education in Oyo state, that the teaching staff in primary school do not have freedom of expression in course of discharging their duties and finally the teaching staff suggested the ways that can make basic education progresses in Oyo state. The authors insist that appropriate authority should be put in place to forestall on timely death among primary school teaching staff due to high handedness of few privilege groups of people over one another. All official assignment should be taken away from labour association (AOPSHON) to prevent unnecessary punishment and harassment from so-called union executives. School monitoring and supervision should be handled by the Education Ministry and SUBEB officers and not AOPSHON executives. The number of qualified teachers that Oyo state have are okay enough for formidable academic output from the learners but the situation the teaching staff found themselves are not palatable for the teaching staff to perform optimally. School monitoring and supervision, duty post, promotion, and transfer in each local government must be a conscious exercise of SUBEB and State Ministry of Education and not the function of teachers‟ labour union at all.Item Assessment of business studies’ challenges on teaching-learning process for self-sustainability among graduates in Oyo State, Nigeria(Ahmet Pehlivan (Kıbrıs)., 2021) Fehintola, J.

A.; Oladele, O. S.Book production is a complex process which requires a multiplicity of skills, expertise and input from different professionals. Many books published in Nigeria are low in quality in terms of content and physical appearance when compared with foreign publications. Consequently, most book users prefer imported books. The crucial factor of content quality therefore constituted the problem of this research. The study focused on quality control in manuscript acquisition and assessment for book production in South-West Nigeria. The study adopted survey method using the questionnaire as the main instrument for data collection. The study population was 62 publishing firms in South-West Nigeria as listed in the registered members’ directory of the Nigerian Publishers Association (NPA) published in December, 2014 while the sample for the study was 50 %. Findings showed that many publishing firms did not employ writing workshop approach for manuscripts acquisition; many also relied on external assessors to determine the viability of manuscripts without providing evaluation criteria.

D.; Olabisi, T. B.Children have unique nature and characteristics. Because of this, regular and holistic assessment of their learning and development is necessary. This could be done through observation, administration of standardized and teacher-made assessment instrument and children work. For assessment of pre-school children to be done effectively, teachers at this level of education need to have good knowledge of what early childhood assessment is all about. This study, therefore, examined pre-school teachers’ knowledge of early childhood assessment and domains commonly assessed in early childhood education centres in Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State. The study adopted descriptive survey design. The sample for the study comprised one hundred preprimary school teachers selected from both public and private schools through the use of purposive sampling. "Test on Teachers’ Knowledge of Early Childhood Assessment” (r=0.79) and “Checklist on Domains Commonly Assessed by Pre-school Teachers” (r=0.80) were instruments used for the study. Data collected were analysed using percentage, mean and standard deviation. Findings from the study revealed that the pre- primary school teachers’ level of knowledge on early childhood assessment in Ondo West Local Government Area was low (x = 38.71; SD = 16.31). Cognitive domain was the one most commonly assessed by the pre-primary school teachers (x = 3.40); with less emphasis on the assessment of other developmental domains which are the physical (x=1.58), social (x=1.60) and emotional (x=1.46). The implication is that, since the pre-schoolers are not properly assessed in all the domains of development through the use of appropriate assessment tools, they will not have the advantage of experiencing holistic development. It was, therefore, recommended that Pre-service ECE teacher education programmes should be reviewed such that teachers-in-training can acquire appropriate knowledge and skills in ECE assessment. School heads and owners should also organize in-service training, seminars and workshops on assessment in early childhood education periodically so as to train and expose the pre-primary school teachers to contemporary assessment practices in early childhood education.
