13. Key Issues
Based on the analyses made, the following key issues are drawn.
• BNPL Financing is a type of short-term financing that allows consumers to make purchases and pay for them at a future date. It is becoming an increasingly popular payment option;
• BNPL has fully digital operating landscape that enables superior customer experience and business efficiency. Thus, it is expected to capture a significant portion of the market with strong growth prospect;
• Dashen Bank is the only bank that provides BNPL financing so far. However, as a substitute product Cooperative Bank of Ethiopia provide the Michu financing.
• Fin-tech and telecommunication companies that work in partnership with domestic banks are potential competitors to BNPL business that provide and facilitate digitized credit facility;
• The domestic experience revealed that:
o The eligibility for the service requires the customers age should be 18 years and above; have a monthly income, which they can prove from their employer or a business license in the case of business owners;
o The maximum spending limit on Dube Ale is currently set at Birr 700,000 and is determined at branches;
o Payments can only be made using the app, and withdrawals are not allowed;
o Customers charged a subscription, guarantee, and convenience fee; The maximum loan duration is 12 months;
o Interest Ranges from 2% to 2.5% on monthly basis;
o The customer should repay the previous credit first to get another credit and the credit can be paid fully or partially; and
o Charges vary depending on the credit period and if payment is made after the due date there will be a penalty fee.
• The market need assessment shows that there is a demand of BNPL financing and almost all interviewed sampled organizations were voluntary to give their employees information when requested by the bank;
• Majority of the sampled respondents prefer loan repayment through mobile banking and also most of the respondents prefer if the duration of loan repayment period up to a year and shall base on value of the purchased item;
• There are five BNPL financing models that are widely applicable. Partnering with Fin-tech to build BNPL solution and Rent out balance sheet are the best models that CBE can adopt right now. Furthermore, the Bank may entertain integrating installments in to credit cards. Acquiring a BNPL company and Rent a technology can also be adopted in line with the banks business model and when the need arise by the market;
• Currently, two local potential fin-tech companies EAGLELION System Technology (Dube Pay) and Seregela PLC approached and show an interest and signed memorandum of understanding to work with CBE through the two business models;
• The expected benefits of BNPL financing for the CBE are the loan is short term; it address the needs of credit access of retail customers; increase and diversify the credit portfolio; and the bank will have a special product that calls for and held its retail customer fr
Staying competitive in the IT field
is a challenge. The use of IT certification programs
involves a number of critical issues and implications
for higher educational institutions (HEIs), educators,
administrators, students, and the IT industry. Hence,
there is a compelling need to gather and share IT

This VoiceThread commentary summarizes the key ideas from the article "Disrupting Class" and book. It argues that online learning is a disruptive innovation that can individualize education to student needs and learning styles through modularization. It predicts online courses will reach a 25% market share in high schools by 2014 and quickly become the norm. This disrupts the monolithic education approach. It also disrupts the tutoring model of teaching, shifting the teacher role to be more like one-room schoolhouse teachers providing individual attention. The challenge is integrating these changes within the standardization of No Child Left Behind. Modularization and moving away from standardization will be key to realizing the opportunities of disruptive innovation in education
This document analyzes survey data from a technology integration survey completed by teachers and administrators in the Pleasant View school district.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

objectives - increase reading and math scores by one grade level or more, 2) Content and
delivery of staff development led by district trainers – Objective 3: Effective training and
ongoing support, 3) Perceptions of students regarding software effectiveness and
engagement, and 4) Perceptions of teachers and TAs regarding software effectiveness,
student engagement, and staff training and support.
Software
Objectives state that students will increase reading and math scores by one grade level or
more. Both Lexia Reading and Ascend Math have progress monitoring capabilities that will
provide this information. ISEL and Fountas and Pinnell reading assessments are
administered district-wide and this data will be examined. Local math assessments are
given in grades K-5 three times a year: fall, winter and spring.
Staff Development Sessions
Per teacher contract, a standard form is use to evaluate all district-sponsored staff
development activities. Typically this information is reviewed only by administrators. For
the purposes of this program evaluation, that data will also be shared with the team of
trainers.
Surveys
A small team of administrators, learning coaches, and teachers will develop student,
parent, and staff surveys regarding the software’s ease of use, perceived effectiveness,
and the level of student engagement. The staff survey will also collect information
regarding the effectiveness of training and ongoing support. Any remaining evaluation
tasks, including data collection and analysis, will be completed by learning coaches and
district administrators during the course of their regular duties.
