Attitude of Secondary School Teachers towards Equitable Education in Coimbato...ijtsrd
Equitable Education System was proposed in the state of Tamil Nadu. It was felt that by following this education system we could afford impartial education to all school children irrespective of region such as rural and urban, upper and lower caste, and religion etc. This new system of education came into existence after a lot of oppositions, obstacles and confusions. Determining attitude and efforts to advance a new system of education is very much essential. Attitude of teachers, students and parents about a new educational system influences the choices and national development. Teachers and parents have a supreme responsibility in the mental and physical growth of the students. Their attitude is one of the most important variables in the education of children. Successful and effective implementation of a new system of education depends upon the knowledge of teachers and their positive attitudes towards it. Thus, the study of teachers' attitude towards Equitable Education becomes indispensable to the implementation plans.

Prevalence of and Socio-Demographic Factors Related with Overweightsajjalp
The objective of the study is to determine the prevalence of overweight and to describe the socio-demographic factors
related with overweight. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at women’s college Kathmandu, Nepal from January to April
2019 using a convenient sampling technique to select the subjects. The study was conducted among 202 female students aged 18
to 23 years with the self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire comprises questions on socio-demographic factors
related to the weight status. The height and weight of subjects were self-reported to calculate the body mass index (BMI) and to
group them into overweight, normal weight, and underweight according to the guidelines of the world health organization. The
prevalence rate of overweight among the female students was 12.9% (CI: 8.4 – 17.8, p<0.05). The average BMI for overweight
students is 26.4 ± 0.973 kg/m2 with 95% confidence interval: 26- 26.79, p < 0.05. Most of the students are conscious about their
health. The socio-demographic factors behind overweight among the female students were physical inactivity, unhealthy food
consumption pattern, and moderate average family monthly income
This document defines population education and discusses its goals and implementation in India. Population education aims to educate students about population trends related to fertility, mortality, and migration and enable them to make rational decisions about population issues.

In addition to analyzing the characteristics of gender equality in tertiary education enrolment in Africa, this paper empirically studies the key drivers of gender equality in tertiary education enrolment, using cross-sectional time series data from 1970 to 2012. Our results show that the coefficient associated with the level of real GDP per capita is positive and statistically significant. Our results also suggest that higher domestic investment, increased economic globalization, the quadratic element of political globalization, economic globalization, ethnic fractionalization, increased democracy, and Christian dominance in a country increase gender equality in tertiary education enrolment in the continent. However, increases in the level of political globalization and increased incidence of civil wars tend to lower it. The policy implications and lessons of these results are discussed.

An additional year of schooling is associated with a 0.107 higher probability of not having a chronic illness for adults in Mongolia. For males it's 0.114 and for females it's 0.100. A mother's additional year of schooling increases the probability her child does not have health complaints by 0.031. However, a father's schooling has no impact on a child's health. While education is linked to better health outcomes, the causal mechanisms are still being investigated.

In addition to analyzing the characteristics of gender equality in tertiary education enrolment in Africa, this paper empirically studies the key drivers of gender equality in tertiary education enrolment, using cross-sectional time series data from 1970 to 2012. Our results show that the coefficient associated with the level of real GDP per capita is positive and statistically significant. Our results also suggest that higher domestic investment, increased economic globalization, the quadratic element of political globalization, economic globalization, ethnic fractionalization, increased democracy, and Christian dominance in a country increase gender equality in tertiary education enrolment in the continent. However, increases in the level of political globalization and increased incidence of civil wars tend to lower it. The policy implications and lessons of these results are discussed.

The document summarizes key issues with primary education in India based on various reports and studies. It finds that the quality of primary education is declining, with only 30% of students able to read at a standard 1 level in 2012 compared to 50% in 2008. Math skills are also falling. Private school enrollment is rising, with over 60% private enrollment in some states like Kerala. The document concludes more attention is needed to improve learning outcomes and identifies declining achievement levels as grades increase as a major issue. Recommendations include developing local strategies to optimize learning outcomes rather than just increasing access to schools.

A study of sexually experienced unmarried men in indiaAlexander Decker
This document examines the effect of education on contraceptive and condom use among sexually experienced unmarried men in India using data from the 2005-06 National Family Health Survey. The study finds that education has a positive effect on contraceptive as well as condom use, but that the interaction of education and awareness provides key explanations for safe sexual practices. The findings could help policymakers focus on both education and awareness to improve safe sexual practices in India where sex education remains controversial.
11.a study of sexually experienced unmarried men in indiaAlexander Decker
This document analyzes data from India's National Family Health Survey to examine the effect of education on contraceptive and condom use among sexually experienced unmarried men. The results show that education has a positive effect on contraceptive and condom use, with higher levels of education associated with greater use. However, the interaction of education and awareness about contraceptives, HIV/AIDS, and STDs provides a better explanation for safe sexual practices. The findings suggest that policies should focus on both increasing education and awareness to improve contraceptive use among unmarried men in India.

Environmental crisis is real. Now the time has come when we should be careful. If human society has to endure not just for another centaury but thousands and thousands of years, we need to imbecile a way of life that can be sustained. The growth of human beings and plants life can only develop fully in friendly environment that is conclusive to growth. Since, the present problems result largely from ignorance and different trend of continued misuse of the environment can, however, be altered by creating awareness among people of how man's activities effect the environment for good or ill. We cannot expect improvement unless attitudes of people change and unless a better generations. Our great need of today is knowledgeable citizens who are conscious of their surrounding and willing to take necessary, social, economic and political steps to assure a better environment for the fulfillment of need and wants of every citizen on the earth. Keeping in view the importance of environment the present study was undertaken to study the awareness among students towards environmental education. Ms. A. Sarmila Sara | Mr. K.

An additional year of schooling is associated with a 0.107 higher probability of not having a chronic illness for adults in Mongolia. For males it's 0.114 and for females it's 0.100. A mother's additional year of schooling increases the probability her child does not have health complaints by 0.031. However, a father's schooling has no impact on a child's health. While education is linked to better health outcomes, the causal mechanisms are still being investigated.

This document summarizes a paper about new challenges and roles for higher education in education for sustainable development. It discusses how education can help nations implement sustainability plans by improving workforce quality and skills. It also describes how higher education institutions can help by reorienting curricula to address sustainability, conducting research on sustainability issues, and providing outreach to communities. The document proposes that regional centers of excellence on education for sustainable development be created to better align education from primary to university levels and link formal and informal education sectors on sustainability.
This document discusses Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). ESD aims to educate people about sustainable development issues and engage them in finding solutions. It is based on principles of learning to know, be, live together, do, and transform oneself and society. ESD emerged from conferences in the 1970s and was further developed in the 1992 Earth Summit. The UN designated 2005-2014 as the Decade of ESD. ESD is important because the world population is growing while resources are limited, so education is needed to address environmental, social, and economic challenges. ESD involves formal education systems as well as non-formal and informal learning to educate people of all ages.
A sustainable world is such in which a perfect harmony or balance is maintained in the ecological, societal and economic systems. To have a dream of sustainable world we need to make sure that people are aware of the meaning of sustainability and sustainable development and they put that into practice. Education is a means through which knowledge and skills are transferred to the young generation. Research Questions are what is the level of awareness of sustainable development among the students Does locality such as rural or urban play a role in the awareness of sustainable development among the students and Does gender play a role in the awareness of sustainable development among the students. Objectives of the Study are to evaluate the level of awareness of sustainable development among secondary school students , to find out whether location of region play any role in the awareness of sustainable development among secondary school students and to find out whether gender play any role in the awareness of sustainable development among secondary school students towards sustainable development. The population of the study includes all the Secondary School students of Hoogly district, West Bengal. Findings are the secondary school students of Hoogly district have moderate level of awareness of sustainable development; there is a significant difference between rural and urban students with regard to awareness of sustainable development. Rural students are significantly better in the awareness of sustainable development than those of urban students and there is a significant difference between male and female students with regard to awareness of sustainable development. Female students are significantly better in the awareness of sustainable development that those of male students.

The document summarizes a presentation on women's decision-making position and political participation in Nigeria. It begins with an overview of Nigeria's population demographics and government system. It then discusses how education has historically empowered women in Nigeria, but many girls still lack access to education due to issues like the Boko Haram insurgency. The presentation outlines Nigeria's legal frameworks supporting women's rights and highlights traditional beliefs that hinder women's decision-making. It also notes women's underrepresentation in Nigerian politics compared to global averages, showing that women comprise less than 9% of Nigerian parliamentarians. The presentation calls for a human rights-based approach to advance gender equality and women's empowerment in Nigeria.
Approximately 200 million people in Africa derive high-quality and low-cost proteins from fish. However, the consumption of fish is not fully exploited to combat the “triple burden” of malnutrition—obesity, undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies which are the leading causes of poor health in the region.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

2. Conflict refers to a situation where there is more than one group of people
who engage in a situation where they are in opposition to one another, have
differing opinions or competition of interests that may lead to a struggle, tension
violent or non-violent struggles or activities that are injurious to members of the
opposite group (Abebe, Gbesso, Nyawalo, 2006).There exist many varied
definitions to conflict proposed by various scholars from different disciplines
depending on their theoretical orientation. Conflicts have become more complex
with time especially with terrorism threats increasing rampantly. Many lives are
lost, property destroyed, many people rendered homeless forcing others to flee as
refugees and this gives less hope for development and prosperity for the young
generation. It is for these reasons that there is a dire need for peace. One way to
realize this need is through education focused on the importance of peace and
peaceful coexistence among communities and with each other as well as how to
respond in situations that may lead to conflict.
Background to the study
3. Social Studies as “the study which equips man with the tools
necessary for solving problems in his emerging social and
physical environment in an attempt to make the society a more
livable one”. In order to understand the meaning of Social
Studies at a glance, the following have been put forward by
Iyamu (1991) that: (a) Social Studies focuses on the relation of
man to the environment in which he lives and the world, (b)
Social Studies is concerned with the relation of man to other
human beings as a member of the family, peer group, community,
school, work place, church and so on; (c) Social Studies is
concerned with the relation of human beings to themselves;(d)
Social Studies is basically a programme of citizenship education;
and (e)Social Studies is a problem-approach discipline.
4. Sustainable development can be broadly seen as the
ability of the economy to support the needs of the people
of a country overtime, taking into consideration the
economic, social and ecological constraints of the
country. Underlying this concept is a “sustainability
requirement” namely that the fulfilment of the need of
the present generation should not compromise the ability
of future generation to meet their own need, (Cheps,
2000). Thus, sustainable development can be seen not so
much as a technical concept but as an educational one, a
process of learning how to think in terms of “forever”.
5. The Agenda has seventeen (17) goals known as the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 169 targets
and indicators. The SDGs are the successors to the 8
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which
expired at the end of 2015. The SDGs set out targets
across the three dimension – social, economic and
environment of sustainable development. Another
distinguishing feature is that, while the MDGs were
focused on the developing countries alone, the SDGs
are applicable to the developed and developing
countries. Olagoke (2017) summarized that SDA is a
universal plan and agenda to tackle some of the

8. Social Studies Education through communication
strategy for peace building and conflict management,
plays a key role in sustainable development and
equips one with skills necessary in life. Similarly, the
introduction of Peace Education Programme into the
Social Studies curriculum is aimed at fostering peace
and conflict transformation in Nigeria at the long
run. Tracing back since its inception in Nigeria in
2008, educational system has experienced challenges
in its implementation, provision of trained personnel
and the nature of its implementation at the classroom
level.
9. However, this study therefore seeks to analyze and
examine the role of Social Studie in the school

12. Methodology
The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population
for this study consists of all students selected in Four (4) higher
institutions in Ogun State. Stratified random sampling
techniques were used to select four (4) higher institutions in
Ogun State. A multistage sampling procedure was adopted for
the selection of 200 students as sample from the four (4)
selected higher institutions in Ogun State. Self-designed
questionnaire was used as a potent instrument for data
collection. a structural questions which requires that
respondent pick from options of their best choice. The option
however, ranges from Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree and
Strongly Disagree.
13. The instrument was subjected to face and content
validation when it was given to expert in
measurement and evaluation department.
Reliability concern the students to which a
particular procedure gives similar result over a
number of repeated trials (Orodho, 2009). The
instruments in the category were the same for
piloting and actual study from four (4) selected
higher institutions in Ogun State. Data collected
were analyzed using chi-square statistical tool
which was used to test the accuracy of the
hypotheses used at 0.05 level of significance.
14. Testing of Hypotheses
Hypothesis 1: There will be no significant effect on the effective
teaching of social studies education as interactive strategies for peace

degree of freedom of 3 is greater than the critical value of
7.812 at 0.05 alpha level of significance. Hence, the null
hypothesis which states that there will be no significant effect
on the effective teaching of social studies education as
interactive strategies for peace building in higher institution
was rejected. This implies that there will be significant effect
on the effective teaching of social studies education as
interactive strategy for peace building in higher institution.

22. Discussion of Findings
In research hypothesis one which states that there will be
no significant effect on the effective teaching of social studies
education as interactive strategies for peace building in Higher
Institution was rejected thus: It was indicated that there will be
significant effect on the effective teaching of social studies
education as interactive strategies for peace building in Higher
Institution. This statement was in line according to Ezeoba
(2012), as asserted that the ultimate aim of social studies is to
equip individuals with knowledge and understanding for
peaceful relationships and living.
23. In research hypothesis two which states that there will be no
significant relationship in the teachers’ qualification in social
studies and conflicts resolution in Nigeria Tertiary Institutions was
rejected thus: There will be significant relationship in the teachers’
qualification in social studies and conflicts resolution in Nigeria
Tertiary Education Institutions. However, this study was in support
with Owolabi (2003) submitted that a teacher as an instructor is
responsible to teach, direct, control, interpret and instruct the
learners for better attainment.
In research hypothesis three which states that there will be no
significant relationship between the teaching of peace education
and conflict resolution in the Nigerian education system was
rejected thus: There will be significant relationship between the
teaching of peace education and conflict resolution in the Nigerian
education system.
24. However, this statement was supported by According to
Danesh (2006), the universal presence of conflict and war in
human history has always necessitated that priority be given to
education for conflict management and war preparation, and for the
preservation of the larger community.
In research hypothesis four which states that the role of peace
education will not significantly serve as a mean of addressing the
problem of violence, insurgency and terrorism in Nigeria was
rejected thus: The role of peace education will significantly serve
as a mean of addressing the problem of violence, insurgency and
terrorism in Nigeria. Therefore, this statement was supported by
Ben-Nun (2013) peace education curriculum and its presentation
can sometimes lead to a strengthening of in group ties which may
be counter-productive and result in the entrenchment of previously
held views, traditions or stereotypes.
25. Conclusion

concluded that there will be significant relationship in the teachers’
qualification in social studies and conflicts resolution in Nigeria
Tertiary Education Institutions. It was also concluded that there
will be significant relationship between the teaching of peace
education and conflict resolution in the Nigerian education system
and more also, it was established that the role of peace education
will significantly serve as a mean of addressing the problem of
violence, insurgency and terrorism in Nigeria.
26. Recommendations
