Several African countries have recognized the important roles of women in education, research, science, and economic development. However, nutrition and food security are areas often left behind in training and research. In Senegal, for example, there are few opportunities for women to receive education in agriculture, nutrition, and food security. To address this, a senior woman researcher at the University of Dakar initiated a master's and PhD program in food and human nutrition. The program has trained over 50 students since 2000, over 60% of whom were women, helping to develop expertise in addressing malnutrition issues in West Africa.

Distance learning provides greater access to education with reduced costs. It allows students to learn from instructors anywhere in the world using technology like video links and internet. Students have flexibility to learn on their own schedule from anywhere while still getting a quality education from well-known universities. Distance learning is beneficial for working students and those in remote areas by offering an alternative to traditional full-time courses on campus that require travel and relocation. The lower costs of distance programs are passed on to students through lower tuition fees, while also saving students money on expenses like transportation, housing, and meals.

Retention policy is an important guiding principle implemented by academic
institution to promote students’ development, yet evidence is unable to
disentangle how the effect of retention policy varies by the outcome in
student’s intellect and morality. This study gathered the views and
perspectives of students in relation to the retention policy of the college. This
study used the qualitative-phenomenological method. Seven participants who
gained the lowest general percentage average were purposively selected. Indepth
interviews
were
conducted
to
obtain
the
pertinent
information.
Results
revealed
that
retention
policy
was
a
source
of
encouragement
for
students
to
perform
well and it was a necessity to develop and enhance students’
cognition. However, few students mentioned that the retention policy was a
source of stress because they needed to comply with the standard
requirements imposed by the college. They reiterated that the policy
discriminated against slow-learners. The findings implicate that concrete
actions may be done to address the misconception on the retention policy.
Strong academic support and resources may be offered to address students’
needs especially to those who were at-risk. Retention policy will remain a
challenge to all students if the academic institution is not fully equipped to
respond to the needs of the students. Intro

The document discusses higher education programs from the UK in the Asian market from the perspective of students. It finds that Asia is an attractive market for overseas education due to its large population and lack of quality education options. The UK has become the second most popular destination for international students, particularly from India and China, due to the reputation of UK programs and their lower cost compared to the US. A study was conducted of 408 students in Malaysia enrolled in UK programs, finding that they were generally satisfied with program quality but had some concerns about infrastructure, faculty ratios, and extracurricular opportunities. The results provide insights for education policymakers and UK universities offering overseas programs.

The mission of the African Health OER Network is to advance health education in Africa by using open educational resources (OER) developed by and targeted toward Africans in order to share knowledge, address curriculum gaps, and support communities around health education. The project began in 2008 with five institutions in Ghana and South Africa but we continue to draw in more African participants with the goal of building a continent-wide Network. This presentation will explore the rationale for harnessing OER in the health sector, the motivations for forming the Network, the services and activities of the Network, and the initial outcomes and lessons learned. Guest Nadia Tagoe will speak about the health OER project at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana, one of the founding institutional partners.Similar to Grace Javieralfonso (20)
