International literacy day and my communityNdudi Osakwe
Brought home to my community in Ndokwa West Local Government Area, an oil bearing community in Delta State, International Literacy Day means more than being able to read, write and count. Of course there are lots of people that can do all that. What it should mean in my community is empowerment.

Educational Marginalization of Muslim Girls: A Study on the Role of State and...iosrjce
Muslim constitutes India’s largest minority but educationally they are one of the most backward
communities in the country .Muslim girls lag behind their male counterparts and women from other community
in the country itself. Women from different socio-economic strata have a great deal of marginalization in their
life situations. There are also significant differences in women’s specific status across regions, caste and class,
communities and religion. Women in India have made significant strides during the six decades entering every
field of education and taking on the challenges of various professions. However, masses of women remain
restricted by the vicious circles of family expectations, gender role discrimination, social stereotype and stigma.
The absence of gender disaggregated data by religion, particularly in respect of literacy rate, enrollment rates
at different stages of education, dropout rates etc., at national, states, district levels was a formidable bottleneck
in the planning and development of strategies and programmes for education of Muslim girls.
The study has analyzed the present educational marginalization of Muslim girls with reference to role of state
and religion in India. The present paper examined socio-cultural and educational factors and forces hindering
their educational participation. Through this study I discussed the backdrop of existing policies, programmes,
constitutional safeguards, legal provisions and schemes to promote education of Muslim girls belonging to
educationally backward minorities and being a social and economically disadvantage section of our society.
The Impact of Girl-Child Education on Community Development: A Study of Ika L...iosrjce
This research work investigated the impact of Girl-Child Education on Community Development with
focus on Ika Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. The specific objectives of the study are to identify the
role of Girl-Child Education in Community Development, to determine the factors impeding against girl-child
education in the aforementioned area and to examine how social, economic and political development affects
Girl-Child Education in Ika Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. The total population for this study is
39,500 and the sample size of three hundred and ninety five (395) persons from the selected communities i.e.
Ikot Inyang Udo, Ikot Akata, Urua Inyang, Ikot Oyo and Ikot Okon were drawn. The study adopted a descriptive
survey design and data were analysed using the chi-square (X2
) statistic at 0.05 level of significance. It was
found among other things that Girl-Child Education helps in Community Development and the factors militating
against girl-child education were culture and poverty level of the people. Based on the findings, the following
recommendations were made; the society should stop the discrimination of the girl-child in the provision of
education, also that government should make policy statements that will make the education of the girl child
legal and compulsory.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. Importance of literacy: causes of illiteracy.
Many children in third world countries receive no education due
to poverty, and are therefore illiterate. Also, in some places like
Swat Valley in Pakistan, education of young girls is considered
illegal by certain groups (in this case the Taliban).
5. Importance of literacy: How can education make a difference in people’s lives
Education empowers people with knowledge, allowing them to acquire better
and more stable jobs. Educated people will have a greater awareness of their
surroundings, and will therefore be more independent. Also, with basic skills, like
the ability to add and subtract, reading, and writing, people have many more
doors and privileges open to them. Like Nelson Mandela has said, “Education is
the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
6. What social entrepreneurs did to help the illiterate: sacrifices they made
Social entrepreneurs like John Wood have contributed significantly towards
less-fortunate communities around the world. As for himself, John Wood
left his stable and high-paying executive position at Microsoft to aid the
illiterate children of Nepal, and started Room to Read to help them.
7. What social entrepreneurs did to help the illiterate: what they hoped to achieve
As for John Wood, he hoped that by establishing Room to Read, children
would have opportunities to receive quality education and make an impact
on the community and world around them, as well as to instill in them a
passion for reading.
8. Malala Yousafzai
Malala is a Pakistani girl who is fighting strongly for girl’s rights to education
in Pakistan. Despite having been shot in the head by a member of the
Taliban in 2012, Malala survived and is still advocating girl’s rights to date.
She has delivered many speeches on rights to education, and has won a
Nobel peace prize in 2014. Even though the Taliban is actively trying to
harm her for advocating girl’s rights against their wishes, she continues to
inspire many.
9. How can we make a difference
We can make a difference simply by donating to charitable organisations
that support Children’s education, such as Room to Read. We can even
donate our used, unwanted books to such organisations, to give poorer
children a chance to read. Also, many voluntary programmes are available
wherein participants can travel to third world countries to help educate
children. We can participate in such programmes to benefit these children.
10. Conclusion
Through this venture, our group is now much more
knowledgeable about the subject of literacy in countries all across
the world. We hope that more children living in third world
countries will be given the opportunity to receive proper
education.
