Covid 19 is a social problem with both positive and negative implications on the people. A lot of studies were conducted on the negative implications of covid 19 on nation’s educational development, regrettably, there were paucity of scholarsly studies on the posivtive implication of this pandemic on the educational development in Nigeria. Therefore, this study seeks to fill this gap in scholarship by examining the positive implications of Covid 19 pandemic on educational development of tertiary institutions in the 21st century in Nigeria. Thus, the study was guided with three objectives and three corresponding research questions. The social change theory evolutionary perspectives and functionalist theory were used as the theoretical approaches to the study.. The study adopted a quantitative method, whereby, the survey design was adopted. The questionnaire instrument was used for data collection. The instrument was titled Covid 19 Pandemic Questionnaire CPQ and Educational Innovations, Improvement and Development Questionnaire EIIDQ . The four Likert scale SA, A, D and SD were also used. The sample size for the study was 400 derived through convenience sampling technique. The study equally used quota, purposive and accidental sampling techniques. Simple percentage, mean and standard deviation were used for data analysis. The paper reveals that apart from the negative outcome, the outbreak of covid 19 in Rivers State brought about positive outcome in the tertiary institutions, as there were perceived improvement, innovations and development in the system, through the use of online or e learning medium. Therefore, the study recommends that teachers who are the pioneer of teaching or education, should even at this period of time when there is ease of the pandemic, utilize or subject the students with e learning so as to avoid shock in case of future occurrence, and also, that teachers and students should do the needful to ensure they improve on ICT skills in case there is need for e learning.

Education & technology in an age of covid 19 2BilalArshed1
Many educational reformers have long held out hope that computers and other information and computer technologies (ICTs) can play crucial and integral roles in bringing about long-needed changes to education systems. Indeed, many see the introduction of ICTs in schools as a sort of Trojan horse,
The global epidemic of the Corona virus has wreaked havoc on a variety of industries. One of them is the education industry. Due to Covid-19, governments all around the world have begun temporarily closing schools and colleges. School and university closures would not only have a short-term impact on the continuity of learning for India's more than 285 million young learners, but will also have far-reaching economic and societal ramifications as the days pass with no rapid way to stop the breakout of Covid-19.
Around the world, people are facing the issue of COVID-19. The COVID-19 is having a dramatic impact on several sectors especially the educational sector. Here my team and I will share our ideas about this issue. Please check this out!

La COVID-19 ha irrumpido en la vida de los seres humanos causando efectos devastadores en la salud y en la vida de gran parte de la población mundial, afectando a las esferas sociales, económicas y educativas del planeta. La comunidad científica se encuentra ante uno de sus mayores retos para resolver un problema sanitariode alcance global como es la pandemia del COVID-19. Esta situación ha generado un volumen de publicaciones sin precedentes. El impacto del COVID-19 en la enseñanzaha supuesto que los momentos de contacto social hayan desaparecido a cambio de reuniones, clases, exámenes o encuentros virtuales. En este escenario, las aulas universitarias al volver a abrirse no serán las mismas, tampoco sus campus ni espacios del ámbito educativo, deberán aportan creatividad en el a la hora de organizarse y usarse. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar las publicaciones científicas relacionadas con los efectos del COVID-19 en las aulas universitarias durante el período 2019 hasta la actualidad. Para esto, se realizó un análisis bibliométrico de la literatura científica. Se identificaron 676documentos sobre esta temática. Los resultados del análisis revelaron que la productividad científica se ha incrementado desde enero de 2020 con más de 650 artículos sobre la enfermedad, verificando el profundo interés por el COVID-19 en todas las disciplinas. Las principales tendencias de investigación incluyen el impacto de la vuelta a las aulas con los efectos en los procesos cognitivos, motivaciones y del rendimiento académico de los estudiantes.
The present study emphasizes the global impact of the e-learning process during COVID 19. The implementation of lockdown and social distancing has been enforced as one of the preventive measures to spread the coronavirus infection which has resulted in complete paralysis of global activities. Especially the education system which is completely shut and to proceed with the academic curriculum, there is a shift from the regular learning process to electronic learning. This can be cited with an increased number of online classes, conferences, meetings, etc. It can be noted that the world is completely dependent on information technologies during this crisis. Hence, the present study provides an insight into the process of electronic learning and its advantages along with the updated version of its usage. To best of our knowledge, there have been scanty scientific reports on this particular situation of the impact of e-learning during COVID 19. The present study is a compilation of the components of e-learning tools along with the future perspective on education using information science

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, most governments worldwide have implemented policies to contain the disease's spread. While incurring high economic costs, restrictive procedures such as schools' closures and the changes of learning methods risk hindering effective learning during the pandemic and the progress made towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4).
The Survey of National Education Responses to COVID-19, jointly conducted by UNESCO, UNICEF, the World Bank, and most recently the OECD, has collected information on this shifting education landscape through two iterations in 2020 which was captured in an initial report. Responses to the third iteration in February-April 2021 are captured in the current joint report. The survey is coordinated and administered by the UNESCO Institute of Statistics.
Up-to-date information on the impacts of policy interventions and responses at the global level is needed to support subsequent educational planning and programming to deploy effective learning strategies
This webinar aims to present the report of the latest results obtained during the most recent data collection. We invite you for an in-depth discussion of the findings that highlight the latest snapshot of the COVID-19 impact on education systems as well as the policies implemented to assess and remediate them, including strategies to ensure equity and safe reopening of schools for all.

Abstract: Uncertain times require prompt reflexes to survive and this study is a collaborative reflex to
better understand uncertainty and navigate through it. The Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic hit hard
and interrupted many dimensions of our lives, particularly education. As a response to interruption of
education due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this study is a collaborative reaction that narrates the overall
view, reflections from the K12 and higher educational landscape, lessons learned and suggestions from
a total of 31 countries across the world with a representation of 62.7% of the whole world population. In
addition to the value of each case by country, the synthesis of this research suggests that the current
practices can be defined as emergency remote education and this practice is different from planned
practices such as distance education, online learning or other derivations. Above all, this study points
out how social injustice, inequity and the digital divide have been exacerbated during the pandemic and need unique and targeted measures if they are to be addressed. While there are support communities and mechanisms, parents are overburdened between regular daily/professional duties and emerging educational roles, and all parties are experiencing trauma, psychological pressure and anxiety to various
degrees, which necessitates a pedagogy of care, affection and empathy. In terms of educational
processes, the interruption of education signifies the importance of openness in education and highlights
issues that should be taken into consideration such as using alternative assessment and evaluation methods as well as concerns about surveillance, ethics, and data privacy resulting from nearly exclusive
Transforming Higher Education in the Context of Covid 19 in Indiaijtsrd
The COVID 19 pandemic led to the need to adapt to teaching methodologies, due to the impossibility of having presential classes. Therefore, online teaching and learning have played an important role in Higher Education for the last year. Another way to increase student engagement is to involve and consult student representatives, students from specific communities, to better understand specific needs and ensure that solutions offered are suitable for all and leave nobody behind. The online platforms supply an avenue where users can get up to date information on upcoming educational conferences and seminars. These platforms provide detailed information about the conference like the quality of sessions for every conference, the speakers for every session, topics for discussion for every session and the duration for every session. The COVID 19 crisis focused a move towards online teaching and learning, thereby creating space for more flexible learning possibilities, exploring blended learning, and mixing synchronous learning with asynchronous learning. The govt is providing many E Learning platforms to develop the covid 19 pandemic period. during the covid 19 pandemic situation, many students can use the E learning platform different thanks to the teaching learning process. They have progressed rapidly from classroom instruction to online distribution model to the transition between multiple classes and services. Daily and modified information should be delivered to students and workers via emails and other means of communication.

Emergency education refers to education for populations affected by emergency situations (Sinclair, 2001; UNESCO, 2017). These situations could be man-made or natural disasters that disrupt radically the usual conditions of life, care, and education facilities for children, causing an inability to attain the right to education (Rights of The Child to Education in Emergencies, 2008). Education in emergencies started around the 1990s as one of the elements of humanitarian responses to emergencies (Burde et al., 2017), but it was not till the 2000s that education was separated from developmental activities in humanitarian responses to emergencies due to the efforts of a group of educators (Burde et al., 2011). and now it is regarded as one of the pillars of humanitarian actions in emergencies. This is due to the fact that it is reported that education is usually neglected during the early response to emergencies (Muñoz, 2010), and during which many rights to education violations occur (Nicolai et al., 2015).
The special case of education in times of emergencies arises from the challenges that face the learning process in these situations. Being in the center of a conflict zone or facing a devastating natural disaster could lead to an impairment of students’ learning abilities (Tauson, & Stannard, 2018). It has been reported that trauma impacts the cognitive and executive functions of the brain which in its turn hinders learning abilities (Tauson, 2016; Mougrabi-Large, & Zhou , 2020). In the case of national health emergencies, trauma could cause anxiety and stress for children and adults (NCTSN, n.d). Hence, special care needs to be given to education in times of emergencies. Education could provide a safe space for students during a crisis (Nicolai, 2015), giving the much needed psychosocial support for development, as well as, hope, stability, and a sense of security (UNSECO, 2017). But more importantly, especially during Covid-19 penadamic, is that maintaining a good level of quality education during crisis will act as the backbone for the reconstruction and restoration phase after the crisis is over UNSECO, 2017).
Most governments around the world have closed educational institutes to help contain the spread of COVID-19 which has affected people regardless of their income, gender, level of education, or nationality.
The lockdown has inevitably interrupted conventional schooling, exposing the many inadequacies and inequities (i.e. lack of access to broadband and computers required for online education) in the education systems around the world.
While the governments and the educational communities have made a significant effort to ensure that children continue to receive their education despite the difficult circumstances, a large part of the world’s student population still remains unreachable by the remote learning programs run by their institutes.
Here’s a look at the impact of COVID-19 on education, highlighting the different delivery channels for remote learning and the steps governments and education institutions can take to overcome the challenges of carrying out learning programs remotely.
Student Finals: Research Presentation
The Coronavirus also known as COVID-19 has made a tremendous difference in everyone’s life. In this research paper we will be discussing the effects the virus pandemic has on education. Education being one. of the top priorities of life is being altered because of the virus. The ACT, in-person classes, school closure, virtual learning, and college and universities are some of the major changes that must occur in order to have a successful education. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected society mentally, physically, and financially. The coronavirus has been challenging for students, staff, and parents; not only in Louisiana but throughout the world. Our society must continue to strive for the best and overcome the challenges we have faced in order to have the best learning possible.
Factors Influencing Online Education during COVID-19 Pandemic: Sri Lankan Stu...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
This study examines the factors influencing online education for selected Sri Lankan universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also analyses the moderate effect of gender and type of the university on online education. Primary data were collected using a questionnaire via google form from Management students in Sri Lankan selected universities. Data analysis was done through structural equations using analysis of moment structures (AMOS) version 22.0. Attitude, internet and related facilities, curriculum, and self-motivation were found to have a significant positive impact on online education, while workload & time have no significant effect on online education. Among four factors, the strongest influence was derived from self-motivation followed by the curriculum. We have not found significant differences among male and female students’ views on online education, while the impact from the type of university is different among the two categories. This study effectively guides policy makers and university administrators across the educational institutes to decide on continuing online education. It reveals some insights to the teachers, students, and parents to understand the significance of the modern online learning environment and its positive impact on the new learning mode. There is no study related to the factors associated with the impact of online education during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Sri Lankan context.
The Role of Science Education in Secondary Schools in Curbing Covid 19 Pandemicijtsrd
Science Education equips individuals with skills, knowledge and ability to handle societal challenges such as Corona virus pandemic. The role of education to ensure effective community engagement for curbing COVID 19 impartation on society includes knowledge, self efficiency and trust. Functions of science education to students and society were ex rayed. COVID 19 impact on science education and education in general was examined. School closure was employed as a measure to shut down the spread of the disease. The roles of science educators in the pandemic period among others include how history of science traced other pandemics and how they were able to tackle and downplay political ambitions of the government over the pandemic. Awareness campaigns on mitigation of COVID 19 impact revealed efforts of many countries to fight the monster – COVID 19.

Attitude, internet and related facilities, curriculum, and self-motivation were found to have a significant positive impact on online education, while workload & time have no significant effect on online education. Among four factors, the strongest influence was derived from self-motivation followed by the curriculum. We have not found significant differences among male and female students’ views on online education, while the impact from the type of university is different among the two categories. This study effectively guides policy makers and university administrators across the educational institutes to decide on continuing online education. It reveals some insights to the teachers, students, and parents to understand the significance of the modern online learning environment and its positive impact on the new learning mode. There is no study related to the factors associated with the impact of online education during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Sri Lankan context.

The Paradigm Shift in the Indian Education System during COVID19: Impact, Opp...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The COVID-19 pandemic is a huge challenge to education systems. Education is the main priority direction and main development indicator in all civilized countries of the world. The COVID-19 global pandemic has upended all the education system across the world. In this time of crisis, a well-rounded and effective educational practice is what is needed for the capacity-building of young minds. It will develop skills that will drive their employability, productivity, health, and well-being in the decades to come, and ensure the overall progress of India. This research paper tries to investigate on the various impact of Covid-19 in education system especially on rural India. We also try to throw light on the different existing and new initiatives by government during the pandemic. The novel coronavirus has transformed the centuries-old, chalk–talk teaching model to one driven by technology. The last 50 years have seen huge growth worldwide in the provision of education at all levels. COVID-19 is the greatest challenge that these expanded national education systems have ever faced. Many governments have ordered institutions to cease face-to-face instruction for most of their students, requiring them to switch, almost overnight, to online teaching and virtual education. We see a drastic rise in the use of various teaching and conferencing technologies which has been explained in this paper, also various advantages and disadvantages to the students in the use of these technologies have been covered in this research paper by identifying opportunities and trends. Finally research has been concluded by providing avenues to future research and a meaningful conclusion.
From Physical to Virtual Learning During COVID-19: Challenges, Opportunities ...IJITE
The introduction of virtual learning advanced benefits such as lowered costs of education, greater
flexibility, easy access and reduced need for physical infrastructure in economically viable nations. On the
contrary, many economically challenged nations in the Global South experienced risks and challenges
when virtual learning became the only way of learning. This study investigated challenges faced by the
Zimbabwe education sector in integrating effective virtual learning practice into the secondary school
system following the advent of Covid-19. Harare Metropolitan province was chosen as site for the study. A
triangulation of research methods including an online survey and key informant interviews conducted with
curriculum specialists, teachers, parents and learners, and a review of available literature, aided the
collection of primary and secondary data for the study. NVIVO and grounded theory were used to analyse
and organise the compiled data into thematic data sets, which were in turn used to theorize befitting
findings for the study. Study findings established an array of challenges which reinforced each other to
hinder effective learning during the lockdown. Substantial academic and policy research has focused on
health specific impacts of Covid-19, while a few studies that have explored the effect of Covid-19 on
education have not zeroed in on the context specific geopolitical risks of the pandemic on countries with
challenged economies. This study sought to contribute to this knowledge gap. The study proffered
recommendations for improving preparedness for virtual learning in secondary schools during crisis times.

INTERNATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIENC...ijejournal
The Coronavirus pandemic 2019 (COVID-19) is hastily spreading, bringing pressure and challenges to international students and educators in a higher education institution who were locked down on campus during the COVID-19 outbreak. We sought to explore psychological experiences of international higher education students and educators during the COVID-19 pandemic in Eswatini. A qualitative phenomenological design was adopted. Participants were 20 conveniently selected international higher education students and educators who were locked down on campus from March 20 to September 25, 2020. The interviews were conducted face to face. Data were thematically analysed. The study was informed by the ecological systems theory. The psychological experiences of international higher education students and educators during COVID-19 pandemic were categorized in to four themes. First negative emotions present in early stages involving discomfort, anxiety and helplessness caused by isolation, fear and concern for safety. Second self-coping strategies included psychological and life adjustments, social distancing, acceptance of wearing of masks, hand sanitizing and online/blended learning. Third we reported growth under the crisis which included affection for family members, peers and self-reflection. Finally, we reported that positive emotions occurred concurrently with negative emotions. During the COVID-19 crisis positive and negative emotions of international higher education students and educators intertwined and co-occurred. Self-coping strategies and psychological growth played a crucial role in maintaining mental health of the students and educators. The international students and educators in a higher education institution appeared to be thriving in coping with the COVID19 crisis and lockdown situation which enhanced their participation in online/blended learning.
Capstone in Interprofessional Informatic // IMPACT OF COVID 19 ON EDUCATIONLakpaYanziSherpa
In my capstone project, I investigated the impact of COVID-19 on education. Using data analysis and statistical methods, I explored various aspects such as enrollment trends, access to resources, and socioeconomic disparities. I found a significant association between children missing classes and a lack of internet connection at home, as well as between household financial situations and children's enrollment in school. These findings highlight the importance of addressing disparities in internet access, household finances, and geographical location to ensure equal educational opportunities for all students during and beyond the pandemic.

Abstract: The COVID-19 disease which first appeared in Wuhan, in the Hubei province of China, in December
2019 was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020.Within a very short span
of time it lead to an unexperienced worldwide public health crisis. In order to prevent the worldwide spread of the
novel coronavirus disease universities, schools, and many other educational institutions have been either partially
or completely closed in many countries, by national governments. Problem of disengagement, shortage of
attendance and deterioration in academic achievement was experienced by many children and youth during the
pandemic. With the closure of schools and the postponement of face-to-face lessons in many countries due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the education activities at all levels primary, secondary, high school and higher education
level as well were soon affected. In order to compensate the interrupted educational activities, due to the onset of
the COVID-19 pandemic, it became important for educational institutions to develop and implement effective
strategies in order to remodel the changes that occurred due to pandemic. Shifting towards fully-online learning
was a speedy yet necessary reflex to the coronavirus crisis. Therefore in order to provide effective learningteaching environment increased importance was given to the use of information technologies in education from the
beginning. Countries took quick steps towards digital transformation in education, and focus was given to the use
of distance learning, teaching, and assessment approaches, which was not very common prior to the pandemic.
The present situation is considered as the biggest education crisis in human history.

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IMPACT ON CHILDREN’S EDUCATION IN DISADVANTAGED AND RUR...ijejournal
This study used a mixed methods approach to capture key findings on COVID-19 impacts on education and
challenges that hinder continued education particularly in disadvantaged and rural areas. The respondents
were 900 parents, 943 children, 15 teachers and education officials in 594 villages in 9 provinces of
Indonesia. The results showed that 1 out of 3 children stopped learning and children learned less. Children
had limited access to widely supported online learning. While the offline method was more applicable, still
it had some challenges. Children’s mental health was affected and they experienced excessive emotions of
fear and anxiety. Many parents were not ready to support children in learning school subjects while doing
livelihood activities at the same time. Some children experienced domestic violence. Parents did not have a
spare budget to provide distance learning facilities and had to sacrifice education over basic needs. The
risk of drop out of school was heightened.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies.

A Study on the Effective Teaching Learning Process in English Curriculum at t...ijtsrd
“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

declared a global pandemic by the World Health
Organization in March 2020 was first reported in
Nigeria on February 28, 2020. The disease, which
was code-named COVID-19 has recorded over 40
million cases and more than 1 million deaths globally
(WHO, 2020).
Covid-19 as a pandemic is explained to mean a large-
scale outbreak of infectious disease that can greatly
increase morbidity and mortality over a wide
geographical area and causes significant educational,
economic, social and political disturbances. The
covid-19 pandemic has increased due to a persistent
increases in global travel and integration,
urbanization, amongst others. In Rivers state, the
virus registered its presence on 25 March 2020 and
has infected over 4,745 persons taken 77 lives as of
23 January 2021(Wakama, 2021).Within this period
(2000-2021), the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak has
plotted great phobia in the minds of Nigerians
educationally, socially, religiously and economically.
This has made students in different educational
sections among Nigeria citizens barely embark fully
on the normal school activities as compared to the
pre-covid- 19 pandemic outbreaks.
According to the UNESCO monitoring report on
COVID-19 educational disruption and response
(2020), the impact of school closures in over 100
countries that have implemented the decisions around
the world has impacted over 90 percent of the global
student population. In taking this decision, Nigeria is
not excluded from this impact. In the view of Nigeria
Education in Emergencies Working Group (2020)
accounts that close to about 46 million students
throughout the country will be affected, not only that
but about 40,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)
children will be giving some form of learning in
camps and host communities will be affected by
stoppage of learning in schools.
This shows that the educational sector is also greatly
affected by the deadly virus, and will have to adapt to
the change. Presently, in the mode of teaching; many
schools in Nigeria and around the globe, have
adopted the online teaching method while for the
younger ones, their parents have become their
teachers or merely get teachers to teach their kids at
home. While many European countries have
successfully implemented their school setting using
online digital tools like zoom or google meet. Many
questions have been raised on this; can Nigerian
education survive the online teaching methods,
coupled with the unavailable network and high rate of
purchasing data? In essence, the virus; COVID-19
would be seen in education as a result of the changes
in modes of teaching and how students relate in
schools, the ability to adapt to this remains a question
to be answered. However, this pulse a fear in the
minds of parents and guardians as regards the
student's ability to recall and regain all that they’ve
been taught. Despite this, covid-19 has equally
contributed to educational changes and development.
This is true as the means of pedagogy changed using
media platforms such as radio, television, WhatsApp,
Zoom and many more. This innovation in the
educational sector was not effectively utilized until
the outbreak of covid-19 that brought about social
distancing, lockdown, inter-state bane and others.
This led to innovation and advancement in the
educational system to ensure continuity of the process
until normalcy was restored. It was obvious that
covid-19 came as a shock and affected both the rich
and poor, yet educational communities proved tough
and acted accordingly to ensure an innovative
approach to set the pace rolling so as to reduce the
loss. The effort made for alternative learning would
lead to the future of education we want, which
involves an inclusive change in education delivery.
Statement of the Problem
The COVID-19 pandemic has not stopped at national
borders. It has affected people regardless of
nationality, level of education, income, or gender. But
the same has not been true for its consequences,
which have hit the most vulnerable hardest. Education
is no exception. Students from privileged
backgrounds, supported by their parents and eager
and able to learn could find their way past closed
school doors to an alternative learning opportunities.
Those from disadvantaged backgrounds often
remained to shut out when their schools shut down.
This crisis has exposed the many inadequacies and
inequities in our education systems from access to the
broadband and computers needed for online
education, and the supportive environments needed to
focus on learning, up to the misalignment between
resources and needs.
As for the challenges it has posed, in a general
perspective, Wakama (2021) study examined
Covid19 victims and family members in River State;
it revealed that coronavirus was and is still
responsible for shutting down various aspects of
human livelihood, as well as various sectors of the
global economy, thereby having grave educational,
social, economic and psychological consequences on
the entire global world.
Orji Okade (2020) study on the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on education in Nigeria,
discovered that covid-19 has collapsed the
educational system in Nigeria. Several problems have
been recorded in the process of the pandemic

including the collapse of the 2019/2020 academic
calendar, delay in students’ promotion and graduation
etc. To him, he only considered the negative impact
of covid-19 on the educational system.
In a different perspective from the above, Hillary
Dupke (2020), investigated on the impact of COVID-
19 on education-Insights from Education at a Glance,
Kwara State University, Nigeria, revealed that as the
world becomes increasingly interconnected, so do the
risks we face. The lockdowns in response to COVID-
19 have interrupted conventional schoolings with
nationwide school closures in most OECD and
partner countries, the majority lasting at least 10
weeks. While the education community has made
concerted efforts to maintain learning continuity
during this period, children and students have had to
rely more on their resources to continuity during
learning remotely through the internet, television, or
radio. Teachers also had to adapt to new pedagogical
concepts and modes of delivery of teaching for which
they may not have been trained. In particular, learners
in the most marginalized groups, who don’t have
access to digital learning resources or lack the
resilience and engagement to learn on their own, are
at risk of falling behind. The paper only looked at the
challenges of covid-19, but in support for innovation
in the academic field if the necessary incentives are
provided.
Duraku (2020) in a study that investigated the impact
of COVID-19 on education and the well-being of
teachers, parents, and students: Challenges related to
remote (online) learning and opportunities for
advancing the quality of Education, revealed that the
closure of educational institutions due to preventive
measures against the spread of COVID-19 has
affected the education, well-being and functioning of
all parties involves and benefiting from educational
systems in the world. While the process of shifting
learning to a remote or online format has already
become part of many educational institutions in
different parts of the world, several factors related to
the quality of educational institutions, teachers,
parents and students, in conjunctions which changes
to their emotional states are assumed to be
contributing factors that may affect the quality of
remote or online learning, teacher performance,
student knowledge and skills. The findings of this
confirm the readiness and motivation of teachers to
advance their knowledge and skills, as well as to
contribute with the aim of advancing the quality of
education. Opportunities to advance the quality of
online learning, the support of teachers, parents and
families, coupled with practical suggestions for
parties involved in the field of education, are also
included. Therefore, the paper eventually considered
innovation as a way of improving education.
A survey of the Experience and Opinion of Educators
and Technology Specialists in September 2020,
highlighted the effect of Covid-19 on Education and
its implications for the use of Technology. This report
and the survey findings behind it provide a unique
insight into the perspectives of EdTech experts
regarding the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on
education in Africa. It is based on the findings of a
survey of the eLearning Africa network, which
attracted approximately 1650 responses from
respondents in 52 countries in Africa. 15 countries
(29%) provide 1217 (73%) of the 52% of the
respondents are directly involved in the education
sectors and 9% are in the ICT sector. 71% work for
the government or not-for-profit organizations, and
21% for for-profit businesses. 40% are
teachers/lecturers/professors, and 13% are
ICT/EdTech specialists or entrepreneurs.
Therefore, the reviewed studies of scholars have been
able to look at the effects of the Covid 19- pandemic.
But none of the studies was able to investigate the
Covid-19 pandemic and educational development of
Nigerian tertiary institutions in the 21st
century using
two tertiary institutions in Rivers State. It was at this
point that the study looked at the functional role of
covid-19 in Nigeria's educational system as it brought
about innovation and development to the system.
Objectives of the Study
1. To establish the nature of pedagogy before the
emergence of covid-19 in tertiary institutions in
Rivers State
2. To identify the substitute method of evaluation of
students during the covid-19 in tertiary
institutions in Rivers State
3. To establish the improvement, innovation and
development made in educational sector during
covid-19 in tertiary institutions in Rivers State

Specifically, the study captured two tertiary
institutions in Rivers State such the Ignatius Ajuru
University of Education and Rivers State University.
These two universities were selected for the study as
representatives of other tertiary institutions in Rivers
State. They are situated in Port Harcourt metropolis
precisely in Obio-Akpor local government area,
Rivers State. Rivers State is among the 36 states in
Nigeria. Rivers State came into existence under
Decree No. 14 of 1967 by General Yakubu Gowon's
administration on the 27th of May 1967. The state
was made up of provinces from the former eastern
region of Nigeria. Rivers State has a total area of
11,077 km² (4,277 mi²), with an estimated population
of 7,043,800 people in 2015
(https://www.citypopulation.de/php/nigeria-admin).
Rivers State is located in the delta region (South-
South Zone) of Southern Nigeria. Rivers State is
constrained on the North by Anambra, Imo, and the
Abia States; the South by the Atlantic Ocean, the
West by Bayelsa and Delta States; and the East by
AkwaIbom State.
2. Theoretical Framework
Social Change Theory: The study used the social
change theory. Therefore, it adopted the evolutionary
perspective of social change. The theory was used by
many scholars, but this study adopts Anthony
Giddens's framework titled ‘Time-Space
Distanciation’ or Distanciationtheory(2009) as it
relates to social change theory. According to Giddens,
social life consists of interactions that are face-to-face
or remote. Time-Space Distanciationdescribes the
process whereby remote interaction has become an
increasingly significant feature of human life, and
through which social systems that were previously
distinctive have become connected and
interdependent. Giddens was referring to
globalization which in 2009 defined globalization as
the intensification of worldwide social relations
which link distant localities in such a way that local
happenings are shaped by events occurring many
miles away and vice versa. Because society has
become, what affects one nation affects the others.
This explains why all countries around the world
were affected by the plague of covid-19. Also,
Emeodu (2015) in his study gave some assumptions
of social change theory. To him, social change may
be driven by cultural, scientific, or technological
forces. He added that social change may bring about
progress and can also bring about retrogression. This
theory is useful to the study as it explains the positive
impact of covid-19 brought about by scientific or
technological forces which impact led to educational
innovation, improvement and development in Rivers
state tertiary institutions.
Structural Functionalism (Functionalist Theory):
The study also adopted Structural Functionalism
(Functionalist Theory).Notable scholars or founders
of this theory are Emile Durkheim (1893), August
Cornte, Herbert Spencer, Talcott Parson (1961) and
Robert Merton (1968).However, Durkheim is often
cited as having had a profound influence on the
development of functionalism (Okodudu, 2007) as
well as Talcott Parsons. According to Haralambos
and Holborn (2008), it avers that functionalism
explains how the social structure of the social
functions for the effective sustainability of the
society. This involves an examination of the
relationship between the different parts of the
structure and the relationship to society as a whole.
Hence, reveals the functions of institutions. In
practice, the term function is usually used to indicate
the contribution an institution makes to the
maintenance and survival of the social system.
Furthermore, the functionalist sees society as a
system. A system is an entity made up of
interconnected and interrelated parts. From this
viewpoint, it follows that each part will in some way
affect every other part and the system as a whole. It
also follows that, if the system is to survive, its
various parts must have some degree of compatibility.
Hence, there is a need to integrate with other parts.
They added that if any of the parts suffer or faces
abnormality, it affects the whole part.
Relating this theory of our study, the covid-19
pandemic ought to be a health issue that should
primarily affect the health sector in society, for the
fact that what affects one sector of the society affects
others, every other institution was affected by the
pandemic. The world economy was affected, politics
was affected, the social gathering was affected,
education was affected, religion was affected, and so
many other areas of human survival and endeavor
were affected by a single pandemic that attacked the
health institution of the society. The diverse effects of
Covid-19 pandemic on all other institutions of the
society have justified the theoretical assumptions of
the functionalist theory.
3. Literature Review
Covid 19 Pandemic: the concept of the Covid 19
pandemic is a new concept that is evolving because
the virus just surfaced recently in China. Covid 19 is
defined as an illness caused by a novel Coronavirus
now called severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 which was first identified amid an
outbreak of respiratory illness cases in Wuhan City,
Hubei Province, China. It was initially reported to the
WHO on December 31st
, 2019. On January 30, 2020,
the World Health Organization declared the Covid 19

outbreak a global health emergency (David,
2021).The COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria is part of
the worldwide coronavirus disease 2019 caused by
severe acute respiratory syndromes coronavirus
which was first reported in the country on 27
February 2020 when an Italian citizen in Lagos tested
positive for the virus. Since its appearance in the
shore of Nigeria the pandemic has continued to
permeate its tentacles across the spheres of the
country unabatedly. The government at all levels has
taken confrontational and decisive measures to curb
the spread of the virus which has to some extent
slowed the spread. As part of social distancing,
businesses, schools, community centres, and non-
governmental organization (NGOs) have been
required to close down, mass gatherings have been
prohibited, and lockdown measures have been
imposed in many countries, allowing travel only for
essential needs. The goal is that through social
distancing, countries will be able to “flatten the
curve”, i.e., reduce the number of new cases related to
COVID-19 from one day to the next in order to halt
exponential growth and hence reduce pressure on
medical services (John Hopkins University, 2020a,b).
Education: The term “education” although used by
many is difficult to define, partly because it has a
wide variety of meanings, partly because it involves
not only one but several complex processes. Due to
the complex nature and broadness of education, it is
difficult for any definition to be comprehensive
enough to satisfy the numerous concepts and
interpretations, Ogbondah (2002). Plato (1993) who is
one of the earliest moral philosophers, defined
education as “that training which is given by suitable
baits to the first instinct of virtue in children when
pleasure and pain are rightly implanted in rational
souls.” Again, definitions of education are either
sociological or humanistic. In other words, education
is either applied as an acculturation of the child to do
the will of the society or leading the child to develop
his in-built potentials, taking into cognizance his age,
interest and ability, among others (Amaele, 2005).
4. Methodology
This paper adopted a survey research design. The work used primary source (questionnaire) and secondary
sources of data to collect information from the respondents such as published and unpublished materials. The
instrument was titled Covid-19 Pandemic Questionnaire (CPQ) and Educational Innovations, Improvement and
Development Questionnaire (EIIDQ). The four Likert Scales of SA, A, D and SD were used. Hence, the
population of the study constituted of all the staff and students (both undergraduate and postgraduate students) of
Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE) and Rivers State University (RSU). The sample size was 400
using the convenience sampling technique for the selection. Quota sampling was used to allocate 200 samples to
each institution for fairness and equity in distribution. After this, the purposive and accidental sampling
techniques were used to reach the respondents and were aided by the help of research assistants. The collected
data were analyzed using simple percentages for biodata, the standard deviation for research questions.

The table above shows the score of the substitute method of evaluation of students during the covid-19 in tertiary
institutions in Rivers State. Given the uniform response among the respondents shows that all the items were
substituted methods of evaluation of students during the covid-19 in tertiary institutions in Rivers State. This
finding is in tandem with a report of the survey of the Experience and Opinion of Educators and Technology
Specialists on September 2020, on the effect of Covid-19 on Education and its implications for the use of
Technology which provided a unique insight into the perspectives of EdTech experts regarding the impact of the
Covid-19 pandemic on education in Africa. That indeed, the covid-19 provided a platform for e-learning. This,
therefore, was what tertiary institutions in Rivers State did by utilizing various learning platforms such as Zoom,
WhatsApp, and other platforms that proved their advancement and development in the teaching and learning
process.

The table shows mean and standard deviation scores on the improvement, innovation and development made in
the educational sector during covid-19 in tertiary institutions in Rivers State. Hence, item 14 had a mean and
standard deviation scores of (M=3.43 & SD=0.68). Furthermore, item 15 had mean and standard deviation
scores of (M=3.47 & SD=0.73). Item 16 had mean and standard deviation scores of (M=3.54 & SD=0.65). Also,
item 17 had mean and standard deviation scores of (M=3.52 & SD=0.72). Given that all the items were accepted,
it is proved that the respondents supported that tertiary institutions in Rivers State made some improvement,
innovation and development during the Covid-19 pandemic. Connecting the findings with that of Emeodu
(2015), it reveals that when changes occur in human society, they can bring about retrogression and progression.
Thus, the outbreak of covid-19 in Tertiary institutions in Rivers State brought about the positive outcomes as
there are a perceived improvement, innovation and development in the system. Again, the findings are in line
with the view of Duraku (2020) that pointed that if opportunities are given, it will advance the quality of online
learning and also gives support to the teachers, parents and families, coupled with practical suggestions for
parties involved in the field of education in all it will advance the Educational system.
6. Conclusion/Recommendations
The study through its findings has shown that what
use to be before covid-19 was transformed into
another digitalized process. Learning processes were
changed and it led to innovative and improved
learning approaches. Most studies by some scholars
only considered the effect of covid-19. The study
shows that Zoom-App and WhatsApp was the major
platform used during the heat of the covid-19 in
Rivers State. There existed some challenges that
erupted which need modifications for more
educational advancement and development. Based on
this, the study recommends the following:
1. Government, communities and stakeholders to
put hand together to improve and advance the
educational system to face the heat of any
pandemic, to ensure more progress in the
Nigerian educational system. This can be
achieved by ensuring that funds are provided to
students, as well as training and other facilities to
improve capacity.
2. Teachers and students should do the needful to
ensure they improve on ICT skills in case there is
a need for e-learning.
3. Teachers who are the pioneer of teaching or
education, should even at this period whereby
there is the ease of the pandemic, utilize or
subject the students with e-learning so as to avoid
shock in case of future occurrence.
4. As many students and teachers complained of
power supply and internet or network hiccups,
there is a need for improved electricity and
network as, through this, the ICT platform for
teaching and learning can be effectively utilized.
