This document discusses how technology, social media, and Nigeria's large youth population have positively influenced improvements in the quality of education in Nigeria. It notes that technology like computers and ICT have aided instruction and learning, while social media have provided educational forums and helped spread information. However, both technology and social media also face obstacles like limited access and improper use that reduce their benefits. Additionally, the government has increased educational programs in response to Nigeria's growing youth population, but mass education will be needed once most youths are in school. In conclusion, these three factors have significantly helped education quality if properly supported through planning and financing.

The document discusses the impact of COVID-19 on education. It notes that most nations implemented lockdowns which closed schools and colleges. This led to a jump in online learning platforms as learning continued remotely. Some impacts included skills training moving online, reduced transportation costs through video conferencing, and opportunities for quality open online courses. However, there were also shortcomings like privacy issues with US-based platforms, connectivity gaps in rural areas, and lack of centralized course materials. Moving forward, blended online and in-person learning may become more common, along with increased testing and gradual reopening of schools.
this is a slide that mainly concerns the student's lives in India and how it is being affected due to this whole pandemic thing. hope the world will heal soon.
The document discusses the poor state of education in Sub-Saharan Africa, noting that 50 million students lack internet access. It suggests that increasing internet access across the region could help raise educational levels. Several solutions are proposed, including engaging local governments, providing computing seminars, and promoting education as it leads to job opportunities.

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

The document discusses the impact of COVID-19 school closures on education worldwide. It finds that only 70% of students have the necessary assets for remote learning, and 31% cannot be reached by remote learning programs. While 90% of countries have implemented some form of remote learning, most students who cannot be reached are from rural and poor backgrounds. It also notes that remote learning policies relying on TV had the potential to reach 62% of students, and that the online education market is projected to reach $350 billion by 2025.
Topic 1 virtual university by nona ricafortMaria Theresa
Virtual universities provide higher education programs through electronic media like the internet, representing a form of distance education. They aim to provide access to populations unable to attend physical campuses. As technology advances, it ushers in new modes of learning and global competition, creating an interconnected world for teaching and learning. Effective communication skills in English are important for call center personnel to ensure callers understand what is being conveyed and communication is successful. Education should empower students to design their own destiny while teaching them to live as global citizens in harmony.
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.
This document discusses the impact of COVID-19 on Nigeria's educational system. It outlines how the pandemic has led to school closures, disrupted students' learning, and could lower education quality. It also examines the effects on educational stakeholders, including the need for online teaching and seminars for staff. Recommendations are provided such as practicing social distancing, hand hygiene, and avoiding undercooked animal products to prevent virus spread. The pandemic has demonstrated the need to build resilience and teach students skills like problem solving and adaptability.
The document discusses the increasing role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education. It notes that ICT, which includes technologies like the internet and mobile phones, has given students, educators, and staff new ways to locate, share, and edit information. While software and ICT have empowered learning communities, some negative perceptions still exist. To address this, educational institutions must implement ICT strategies carefully and focus on creating positive student outcomes. As schools increasingly adopt smart technologies, the importance of educational technology grows. Decision makers must understand best practices for integrating ICT to not only enhance existing education systems but also develop new learning activities. Students should make good use of technology and internet resources, while also knowing their own limitations and practicing
The document discusses the impact of COVID-19 on education in India. It notes that over 320 million learners in India were unable to attend school due to lockdowns. While online education has helped continue learning, digital infrastructure limitations in India, especially in rural areas, have posed challenges. Both students and teachers faced difficulties adapting to online platforms due to a lack of resources and training. However, online learning has also created opportunities to improve digital literacy and make education more accessible. Going forward, the document suggests India promote blended learning models and boost access to virtual learning to reduce inequalities exacerbated by the pandemic.
This document discusses the impact of COVID-19 on education globally and in India. It notes that over 1.6 billion students worldwide are now out of school due to the pandemic. In India, this affects over 260 million students and 1.5 million schools. The crisis risks increased learning losses, dropout rates, and food insecurity for poor students. However, open educational resources (OERs) can help enable learning from home and social distancing. The document then lists the top 20 OERs that people should know, including resources from the Indian government, Khan Academy, and more. It predicts that COVID-19 will force major changes to the landscape of education.
This document discusses the importance of technology in education and the need for teachers to be technologically competent. It notes that technology has advantages like increased efficiency but also means that humans are increasingly dependent on technology. It argues that to properly incorporate technology into education, teachers need skills, knowledge, values and attitudes related to educational technology. The document also discusses the role of education generally in working towards goals like justice, equality and eliminating poverty in South Africa.

The document discusses using information and communication technologies (ICT) to enhance the quality of education in Africa. It notes that current education focuses too much on theory and memorization without real-life application and technology. This has led to high youth unemployment. The proposal is to use ICT like smartphones and mobile networks to provide more engaging education focusing on creativity, collaboration, and subjects like math, English, and entrepreneurship. It would use incentives like games and student ambassadors for scalability. Partnerships with governments, institutions, NGOs and companies could help achieve this vision of filling Africa's digital gap through improved technology-enabled education.

The document summarizes distance education practices in several countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. It describes how Japan's Ministry of Education collected information on coping strategies used by schools, including both ICT-based distance learning and use of school facilities. It outlines China's initiative to ensure uninterrupted learning, through online platforms and partnerships to boost internet access. It also notes Austria's use of learning platforms like Moodle and cloud solutions, as well as educational resources and guidelines for distance learning.
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.

The document discusses education in the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that the pandemic has greatly impacted the education sector, forcing changes to the traditional system. While there was initial uncertainty around reopening schools, the President and Department of Education announced blended learning would be implemented, combining modular learning, online classes, and television/radio broadcasts depending on access. This new approach places burdens on parents to retrieve modules and relies on access to technology, presenting challenges to holistic learning. Cooperation across all sectors is needed to overcome hurdles in the "new normal" of education.
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).
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.

The democratisation of education: Will technology live up to the promise?Jeremy Williams
1. Technology has promised to transform education but has yet to fully impact the sector, as predictions have focused more on machines than humans. While technology enhances pedagogy, it can also expand access to affordable, high-quality education.
2. Reduced public funding and rising private debt are putting downward pressure on prices, tipping some institutions. Institutions must search for new market opportunities through 'retrofitting' models.
3. Developing countries can 'leap-frog' economic stages using low-cost mobile networks and devices, expanding the mobile economy and education opportunities through new pedagogical and business models.
ICT refers to information and communication technologies, including any devices or applications used for communication like radio, TV, phones, computers, networks, satellites, etc. as well as associated services. ICT is discussed in different contexts like education, healthcare, and libraries. The importance of ICT lies in increasing access to information and communication for underserved groups. Many countries promote ICT to prevent increasing technological advances in developed nations from exacerbating economic gaps between areas that do and do not have technology. ICT 2017 was a conference that brought together researchers to address challenges in information and telecommunication technologies.
The document discusses plans to digitally transform the education system in Cote D'Ivoire through a three phase project. The first phase will create an education portal for digital communication between students, teachers, and parents.

This document summarizes the 2013/4 UNESCO Education for All Global Monitoring Report. It finds that while countries have made progress toward the six EFA goals since 2000, none of the goals will be achieved globally by the 2015 deadline. In particular, it notes that 57 million children remain out of school, over 250 million children are not learning basic skills, and adult literacy has hardly improved. The report calls on governments to strengthen policies to support teachers and improve education quality in order to address these issues. It argues education must be prioritized in the post-2015 development agenda to ensure all individuals have access to a good quality education.
Education provides significant benefits to individuals, societies, and the world. It enables people to gain skills and knowledge that allow them to earn more money and live better lives. However, many parts of the world still face problems in ensuring universal access to education, especially for girls. Issues include inadequate funding, lack of schools and teachers, and costs of attending school. To address these problems, initiatives aim to increase attendance, promote equal access for boys and girls through scholarships, and reduce class sizes.
Education for all : Education is a fundamental right that should be available to everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, gender, or any other factor. All people should have access to quality education, including access to books, technology, and experts who can help them learn. To ensure Education for All, governments should invest in public schools and libraries, provide free tuition for college and technical school, and support programs that increase access to educational resources. Additionally, organizations and individuals should work together to create learning opportunities that are accessible to everyone. By creating a culture of learning and knowledge sharing, we can make sure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
1. According to statistics from the World Bank and UN, hundreds of millions of children worldwide lack access to education due to poverty, with girls disproportionately affected.
2. Several organizations were founded to address this issue through sustainable programs that provide educational access combined with skills training. These include CDI, Free the Children, and Pratham.
3. These organizations began as small, local initiatives and grew significantly through community-focused programs and volunteer networks to impact millions of children worldwide in their pursuit of universal education.
Education is a priority for international development goals but millions still lack basic literacy and education. While primary education enrollment has increased, quality remains low and secondary and vocational education rates are still inadequate. Non-formal education and skills training are needed to help vulnerable youth access employment opportunities. Improving education quality, expanding access to secondary, vocational and non-formal programs, and targeting marginalized groups will help ensure all youth can develop skills to participate in the economy.
Education is in crisis worldwide. Millions of children, especially the most marginalized, are excluded from school. Many millions more attend school, but they do not learn basic reading and math skills. In addition, international funding for education is on the decline. The Investment Case for Education and Equity explains the global education crisis and outlines solutions. It calls for an increase in funding for education and investments that are more equitable and efficient.
This document discusses barriers to achieving universal primary education as outlined in the UN's Goal 2. The key barriers identified are humanitarian emergencies/conflict which displace millions of children from school, gender discrimination that prevents girls' education, and child labor pulling children from schooling. The document argues that education is needed to overcome these barriers by fighting conflict, discrimination, and labor. Progress is noted in increasing enrollment rates and reducing the number of out-of-school children from 100 million in 2000 to 57 million in 2015, though more work remains.
We welcomed Dr Jeanette Botha (University of South Africa) to the Centre to conduct a presentation and a discussion on issues around the ‘digital divide’ within South Africa (something likely to be an issue in other countries around the world). The main thrust of the talk was: “Who are we teaching?” Dr Botha alluded to the issue of technology driving education vs education driving technology and highlighted numerous concerns of developing world ODL practitioners and students, contextualizing ODEL in South Africa in the current socio-economic framework, with reference to Unisa. The argument was made for the pragmatic consideration of the acquisition and use of appropriate technologies in line with these “real world” considerations.
Millennium Development Goal #2 aims to achieve universal primary education by 2015. While progress has been made in some areas through targeted interventions and funding, 69 million children worldwide remained out of school in 2008. Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia account for the majority of out-of-school children and dropouts. The poorest populations, girls, and those in rural areas face the highest risks of not completing primary education due to socioeconomic barriers and lack of access.
Reframing education in COVID-19 era - Why education shapes societies’ economi...MuhammadZubair793687
This document discusses the educational crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and school closures. It summarizes that over 1.5 billion students have been affected by school closures worldwide. While distance learning options have provided some alternative, they exacerbate inequalities due to unequal internet access. The pandemic disproportionately impacts vulnerable families, women, and those in developing nations. The long-term impacts of the educational crisis threaten individual well-being, family economics, social inclusion, and development opportunities if not adequately addressed. The document argues that educational systems must work with families and communities through an "educational community" approach rather than relying solely on traditional schooling. WeWorld-GVC is calling for increased funding, support for
Attacks on education have a widespread and substantial impact on children's access to education in conflict-affected countries. An estimated 50 million primary and secondary school-aged children are out of school in conflict zones, more than half of them girls. There were over 3,600 documented attacks on education in 2012 alone. Case studies on countries like Syria, Central African Republic, and Pakistan show how conflicts can destroy school infrastructure and reverse education gains, with millions of children having their education interrupted for months or years. However, humanitarian funding for education remains extremely low at only 1.4% of total humanitarian aid in 2012, preventing education systems from adequately responding to needs after attacks and restoring schooling.
Millennium Development Goal #2 aims to achieve universal primary education by 2015. While progress has been made in some areas due to targeted interventions and funding, the goal may not be fully reached. Enrollment has increased to 89% globally but the pace is insufficient. Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia account for most children out of school, with high dropout rates. Risk factors for dropping out include poverty, rural residence, gender, and social/cultural barriers against girls' education.
Kyrgyzstan maintains a high level of access to primary and secondary education, though attendance rates are lower for upper secondary students (59% for boys and 56% for girls). About 6% of school-age children do not attend, mainly those who enter late, have disabilities, work in rural areas, or have migrant parents. While education is legally free, poverty and other barriers can prevent access.
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.
1) ICT technologies are driving growth in financial services, healthcare, and education across Africa by connecting rural areas.
2) Connecting Africa more fully is a priority to realize UN development goals and drive economic growth, with the internet having the potential to contribute 10% of GDP by 2025.
3) Projects like iMlango are helping address educational inequalities by providing internet-connected learning tools to rural schools, allowing real-time tracking of student progress and tailoring of lessons to individual needs.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
