Abstract:
Farmer groups become one of the agricultural institutions that have an important role in agricultural development. This study aims to analyze the effect of turnover, education level, length of business, and landholding on the membership of farmers in farmer groups and to analyze the variable that has the greatest effect on farmer membership. Stratified proportionate random sampling is used to select 34 farmers who join farmer group and 51 farmers who do not join farmer group. Stratification is based on landholding. The method used is logistic regression and Mann Whitney analysis using SPSS. The results show that turnover, education level, and landholding significantly influence farmer’s membership. Landholding has the biggest effect on the membership of farmers in farmer groups. Keywords: Agricultural institution, farmer group, farmer membership

<p>The aims of this research are to know the farmers’ internal factors related to farmer participation in activities to increase vegetable production and medicinal plants through various chili areas, analyze the level of farmer participation in activities to increase vegetable production and medicinal plants through various chili areas, and analyzing the relationship of farmers’ internal factors with the level of farmer participation in activities to increase vegetable production and medicinal plants through various chili areas. This research uses quantitative methods with survey techniques. The research location was determined intentionally, namely Kismantoro Subdistrict, with the consideration that the sub-district was the district with the largest land area and production yield in Wonogiri Regency. The research population this time is farmers who are members of farmer groups that receive activities namely 197 farmers. The sampling method was carried out proportionally random sampling, with a sample size of 60 farmers. To test the relationship, rank spearman analysis was used with SPSS version 20. The results showed that the majority of farmers were of productive age, the most formal farmers were elementary school graduates, farmers in the low category, the largest farmer area was 0.51-0, 75 ha, the level of farmer risk taking in the high category, the activeness of farmer membership in the medium category. The level of farmer participation at the planning stage and at the implementation stage is classified as a moderate category, while the level of farmer participation at the utilization stage of the results is classified as high. The internal factors of the farmer who have a significant relationship with the level of farmer participation are age, non-formal education, risk-taking level and liveliness of farmer membership, while the farmers’ internal factors that have no relation to farmer participation level are formal education and land tenure.</p>

Abstract:
China has formed a new C2F (company-to-farmer) model of internet and agriculture. How to build a sustainable linkage of the C2F platform is important for promoting agricultural industrialization. Based on the cognition theory and internet thinking, we characterized the linkage mechanism and stability framework of the C2F regarding default proportion, benefits fairness and benefits gap. Using the logistic regression method, we constructed the impact effect model of benefit links stability based on the farmers’ characteristics, platform cognition and social environment. We found that in the C2F, optimizing farmers’ age structure (17.93%, impact effect), increasing farmers’ income level (16.79%), as well as improving farmers’ education level (14.33%), policy support (11.35%), platform service quantity (9.82%), market volatility (9.11%), platform transaction transparency (9.07%), farmers’ risk tolerance (7.93%), and platform technical guidance effect (3.67%) had a significant impact on reducing default proportion (28.13%) and benefits gap (36.55%), thus heightening benefits fairness (35.32%). The research suggested, we should promote the sustainability of C2F by improving the farmers’ digital ability and platform function, developing innovative linkage mechanisms between companies and farmers, strengthening government guidance, and protecting the policy environment.

Abstract:
Agricultural products, including potatoes, are still faced with several problems with fluctuations and quite high price sensitivity, mainly due to changes in demand and supply. Decreased (degenerative) production occurs because of the disease that accumulates in each generation of potato seeds and continues to be carried over to the next generation. So that certified potato seeds are needed to increase farmers' production. This study will analyze the influence of the factors of farmer age, education level, farming experience, productivity, seed price, land area, farmer group participation in influencing farmers' decisions to use certified potato seeds. From the total population of potato farmers as many as 365 farmers in Parbuluan District, Dairi Regency, North Sumatra, testing was carried out on 78 samples with the results that the variables of productivity, price, farmer group participation had a significant effect on the use of certified potato seeds, while the variables of age, education, experience, area Land does not have a significant effect on the use of certified potato seeds and productivity, price, farmer group participation, age, education, experience, and land area all influence farmers' decisions to use certified potato seeds. Keywords: Certified Potato Seed, Potato Farmer, Potato Production.

This research aims to identify factors correlated significantly to the motivation of farmers in perseving traditional rainfed farming systems, such as using local seeds and planting once a year. The population of this study is farmer who still perform the traditional paddy farming system in the Village of North Tapanuli Parbaju Julu County North Sumatra Province. As much as 48 respondents randomly selected from 160 farmers. A descriptive analyse and Spearman rank correlation are applied in this study. The study showed that formal education, farmers' perception of the traditional system of rice farming are correlated significantly to farmer motivation in preserving tradional farming system while non-formal education, the traditional system of farming experience, farm size, number of family members are not. Factors that correlated significantly to farmer motivation in maintaining local seed is non-formal education, farming experience, while the traditional system of formal education, farmers' perception of traditional rice farming system, farm size, number of family members are not correlated significantly. Furthermore, the number of family members is merely factor that correlated significantly to the farmers motivation in maintaining once a year plantings while others factors are not correlated. Key words: farmer motivation, preserving, traditional farming

Abstract:
The success of agricultural efforts depends on the competency of farmers as primary organizers. Characteristics related to competencies such as farmer education level, farmer age, financing, and institutional participation. The purposes of this research were to identify the characteristics of ginger farmer and to analyze the feasibility of ginger farming in North Sumatera. This research used secondary data. Descriptive analysis was a method of analysis used in research. The results of identifying show that characteristics of ginger farmers in North Sumatera were as much as 61.76% being at the age of 25 to 54 years, 55.24% of ginger farmers completed education until junior level, 96.79% of ginger farmers financed their own farming activities, 95.06% of farmers sold their products to the collector merchants, and the involvement of farmers in agricultural institutions were very small. Revenue Cost Ratio (R/C Ratio) of ginger in North Sumatera is 1.97, meaning that each expenditure of IDR1,00 then the ginger farmer will get a receipt of IDR1.97. This shows that ginger farming is viable and beneficial to be cultivated. Maximizing agricultural extension role as one of the efforts to increase the income and welfare of ginger farmers in North Sumatera.

This research aims to analyze the factors that affect farmer attitudes on the rice farming insurance program (AUTP), analyze how is farmer attitudes in AUTP program, analyze the relationship between factors affecting farmer attitudes and farmer attitudes toward the AUTP program, and analyzed differences in farmer attitudes based on the area of insured land, employment outside the agricultural sector and ownership of livestock assets in the AUTP Program. The basic method of research used is quantitative research method with survey technique. The selection of research sites was done purposively. Sampling is taken by proportional random sampling technique and multistage cluster sampling method. To know the correlation between the factors that influence the formation of farmer attitude with his attitude toward AUTP program used Rank Spearman correlation test, while to know whether there is difference of attitude of farmer use U Mann-Whitney different test. The result of the research shows that farmers expressed their willingness to support the AUTP program. There is a significant relationship between the experience of farming (X1), the influence of others who are considered important (X2) and non formal education (X4) with farmers attitude toward the AUTP (Y) program. While there is no significant relationship between formal education (X3) and media exposure (X5) with farmers attitude toward AUTP (Y) program. There is no difference in the attitude of farmers when viewed from the size of the land that is insured, jobs outside the agricultural sector as well as ownership of livestock assets.

Abstract:
This research was undertaken to study the effect of education on small farm revenues and profits in Kenya. Schooling (defined as the number of school standards completed by the farm operator) was used as the most important source of education. It was hypothesized that schooling has a positive effect on farm revenues and profits. The effect of other sources of information viz; extension contact, demonstration attendance and baraza attendance on farm revenues and profits were also investigated. The research was done using regression analysis where these variables and other farm activity relevant variables were fitted in regression equations. The choice of these variables were based on economic theory, Kenya small farm characteristics and the objective of the study. Several factors would qualify as supporting evidence for the argument that educated farmers are more productive. We expect educated farmers to be more informed in terms of use of new production technologies. Education as a source of human capital also enhances the productive abilities of human beings and also enables those who have invested in education to use their resources more efficiently as well as adjusting to new "ways of producing more efficiently". In the current study we find that schooling of the farm operator is positively related to level of expenditure on farm purchased variable inputs. This indicates that education enhances adoption of new technologies and innovativeness. Further it was shown that farmers with more education earned more value added per acre from their farm business compared to their less educated counterparts. On the overall farm activity, farmers with eight or more standards of schooling earned upto 80.2% in value added per acre compared to those who had no schooling. The regression estimates were done on a stepwise procedure where farm specific enterprises were estimated separately and then aggregated and estimated as one farm sector. Thus a crop equation, a livestock equation and a total farm output equation were estimated. This model was then developed into a variable profit function. A simple linear function procedure was used in the regression analysis. In all the estimated value added equations the schooling coefficient was positive and significant at 5% level two tail t-test. As we move from farm specific activities to a farm aggregate output model and lastly to value added model the schooling coefficient increased in size confirming the positive role of education in allocative effect. These results show that schooling plays an important role in allocation of other purchased inputs and also choice of crop mix and input selection. The estimated marginal return to schooling of farm operator in the profit function was Kshs.281. In an earlier function where schooling of the farm operator was fitted into a total farm income equation the estimated marginal return to schooling was Kshs.778.89. When schooling of the farm operator is allowed to interact with extension service the estimated interaction variable coefficient is negative showing the two act as substitute sources of knowledge, and the schooling coefficient increased in size showing that those who had both schooling and extension service earned comparatively more farm revenues. The role of other educative factors like extension service, demonstration attendance, and baraza attendance in influencing agricultural production was investigated. Regression results showed that extension contact had a negative and significant effect on farm revenues and profits. Demonstration and baraza attendance had similar effects on farm revenues and profits. In the value added function hired labour variable was fitted as the cost of hired labour per day. The estimated coefficient for this variable was positive and significant at 5%. The estimated coefficient for this variable shows hired labour is not optimally used, and farmers can increase their farm profits by hiring more labour. When this variable was fitted as the wage rate paid to hired labour per day the estimated coefficient was positive and significant. These results indicate that cost of hired labour depends on its quality. In the sales function hired labour was specified as mandays of hired labour per year and the estimated coefficient which reflects the shadow price of labour was higher than average hired labour wage rate implying that this factor is underemployed. In the sales function the estimated coefficient for the value of purchased inputs variable indicates that there is an element of underutilization of these inputs. This variable is fitted in value terms and in profit maximizing conditions the estimated coefficient is expected to be no different from unit. However, the estimated coefficient for this variable is approximately 2.5 showing a shilling spent on purchased inputs will bring forth 2.5 shillings. Thus an increase in the use of purchased inputs will increase farm revenues. Results show evidence of regional differences in farmer productivity and utilization of purchased inputs in favour of Central province. The study is based on the 1982 CBS-IDS-World Bank Household Survey of Rural Kenya data set.

Abstract:
This study identified and rated the leadership competencies that were considered needed by young farmers and should be taught in the young farmer instructional program. The participants in the study were the young farmer advisors, certain young farmer members, state staff, and teacher educators. All participants were from the state of Virginia. The participants rated a list of 43 leadership competencies according to the following rating scale: 4...High Importance, 3... Medium Importance, 2...Low Importance, and 1...No Importance. The mean of the ratings for the four groups were computed as well as the total mean for all groups. The total mean for all competencies was 2.5 or above. All competencies were placed in the medium to high importance category. The ratings of the four groups were examined to determine if the groups rated the competencies similarly. The two groups who rated the most competencies similarly were the advisors and the members. The groups who rated the fewest competencies similarly were members and state staff, and state staff and teacher educators. Also, the respondents ranked the top ten competencies. The competencies which were ranked the top ten are listed below: Bank Competency 1 37. Assume responsibility. 2 34. Cooperate with others. 3 36. Develop enthusiasm. 4 38.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges faced by farm schools in exercising the right to basic education. In doing so, also to determine possible reasons behind learners' drop-out rate at farm schools. This stUdy was prompted by political changes, which took place after the democratic elections of April 1994, impacting on the provisioning of education in South Africa. The South African education system and its institutions were confronted by many laws and policies, including the South African Schools Act 84 of 1996 (84/1996), the National Education Policy Act 27 of 1996 (27/1996) and specific obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Through literature and empirical studies it was found that the State's commitment to social justice, especially to education, remains unfulfilled for large numbers of children, youths and adults living in rural areas. Literature revealed that the South African government is failing to protect the right to a primary education for learners living on commercial farms by neither ensuring their access to farm school, nor maintaining the adequacy of learning conditions at these schools. The research findings revealed that poverty resulting from unemployment or low income on the farms increases the need for teenagers to be in paid employment in the evenings or at the weekend, increasing absenteeism and ultimately resulting in learners dropping out, and an increase in child-labour. The empirical method, using questionnaires, was successful in obtaining information about what challenges are faced by farm schools in exercising the right to basic education and the reasons behind farm school learners dropping-out. It also established how participants felt and thought about their experiences and perceptions on the challenges confronting the right to basic education as well as the reasons behind farm school learners dropping out. The study established that if the State could respect and fulfil economic and social rights of the farm sChool community, including the right to basic education, by eradicating measures that deny the enjoyment of the right to education as seen at the farm schools, great progress and sustainability as far as education is concerned could be achieved by these schools. A number or recommendations were made with regard to the research on findings for the Sedibeng-West District (08).

Abstract:
Den svenska regeringen har som ett led i uppfyllandet av deras miljömål beslutat att ekologiskt jordbruk ska främjas. Trots detta så har omställningen till ett mer ekologiskt jordbruk i Sverige saktat ner de senaste åren. För att på ett effektivare sätt kunna påverka omställningen i önskad riktning behövs en bättre förståelse för vad som påverkar jordbrukare att välja ekologisk eller konventionell produktion. Tidigare forskning har visat på vikten av både ekonomiska och sociala faktorer. En faktor som tilldelats betydelse är jordbrukarens utbildningsbakgrund där ekologiska jordbrukare i högre utsträckning funnits vara högutbildade jämfört med konventionella. Huruvida detta stämmer i Sverige och på vilket sätt utbildningen påverkar jordbrukares val av jordbruksmetod är dock outforskat. Denna studie har ämnat fylla denna kunskapslucka genom en enkätundersökning av ekologiska och konventionella jordbrukare i Sverige och en resultatanalys med stöd av teorin om innovationsspridning och teorin om planerat beteende. Studien fann inga skillnader i utbildningsbakgrund mellan de konventionella och ekologiska jordbrukarna i undersökningen. Däremot upplevde en minoritet av jordbrukarna att deras utbildning haft betydelse för deras val av jordbruksmetod. Av dessa upplevde fler att utbildningen påverkat avhållande snarare än bejakande till upptag av ekologiskt jordbruk. Orsaker bakom denna påverkan identifierades i huvudsak som negativa attityder till ekologiskt jordbruk samt kunskapsbrister i undervisningen. Sådana avhållande inslag i utbildningen skulle kunna bidra till en ogynnsam utveckling på jordbruksområdet. För att främja välavvägda beslut bland jordbrukare och beslutsfattare föreslås därför vidare forskning kring den faktiska omfattningen på dessa inslag och orsakerna bakom dem.
The Swedish government has decided to support organic agriculture in their effort to fulfill their environmental goals. However, the conversion to a more organic agriculture in Sweden has slowed down the last years. In order to be able to affect the transition in a more efficient way, a better understanding of what influence farmer’s decision to choose either conventional or organic production is needed. Earlier studies have shown the importance of both financial and social factors. One factor that has been given importance is the education background of the farmer where organic farmers in general have been found to be higher educated than conventional farmers. If this is true in Sweden, and in what way education affects the farmers choice of farming method, is however unexplored. This study has been attempting to fill this knowledge gap through a survey of organic and conventional farmers in Sweden and an analysis with support from the diffusion of innovations theory and the theory of planned behavior. The study found no differences in the educational background between the conventional and organic farmers in the survey. However, a minority of the farmers experienced that their education had affected their choice of farming method. Among these, more farmers had experienced this influence as deterrent rather than affirmative on adopting organic farming methods. Reasons behind this influence were mainly identified as negative attitudes towards organic agriculture combined with a lack of knowledge in the education. Such deterrent elements in the education could potentially contribute to an undesired development in the area of agriculture. To support considered decisions among farmers and policy makers, this study therefore suggests future research to investigate the actual scope of such elements and the reasons behind them.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with an investigation into current on-farm grain storage practice and with ascertaining what educational interventions, if any, are appropriate for future and more detailed consideration. The Australian grain growing, handling, and marketing industry has changed in recent times. A few years ago (1989), the grain growers only essential contact with grain marketing was through the bulk handling authorities and the Australian Wheat Board. Advice was freely available from state departments of agriculture, and the only requirement to store grain on-farm was that necessary for the grower's own needs. Now (1994), there is a possible advantage that grain stored on-farm may be used for a wide range of selling options, amongst other reasons, and market requirements are much more complex and stringent. There is a substantial body of research on grain storage techniques. At the same time there is a significant gap between researched knowledge and the use of this knowledge for on-farm storage. A major purpose of this study is to identify an improved approach to extension and farmer education that may help to reduce this gap. This thesis contains a review of the general literature on extension followed by an overview of extension in the developed world to establish the international context for Australia. Then the historical context of extension is examined briefly to understand the current situation in each state. Some educational models are reviewed to identify relationships between stakeholders and the opportunities available for and constraints to development of educational strategies. Information channels are reviewed to comprehend extension interaction and grain storage technologies are reviewed to ensure comprehension of techniques. On the basis of the literature review a field study was designed to investigate current on-farm storage practice, current extension sources for storage information and preferences for future educational interventions. This was done by a survey using a stratified random sample of grain growers and cluster selection of individuals for personal interviews. This information was complemented by informal discussion with farmers at field days. The results of the study confirmed the gap between research knowledge and on-farm implementation of this knowledge. They also demonstrated that grain growers wanted more information and gave some indicators of how this might be achieved. Major findings of the research included the need for extension coalitions and the desirability for active involvement of the grain grower. Major conclusions, for on-farm storage and extension, are drawn to form a basis for development of future extension interventions. These are aimed at ensuring grain growers have available the information needed for good storage practice. This includes an essential understanding the grain growers' needs and perceptions, early, in any planning process. It also includes the necessity for coordination of extension/education activities at local, regional and national levels. The research has some major implications for an improved approach to extension and on-farm storage. These include the establishment of a farmers-as-researcher program to implement grain storage innovations and the recognition that implemented change will need long term maintenance; often more resource intensive than the original intervention.

Abstract:
This dissertation is the documentation of a participative learning project with the purpose of facilitating improvement in farming and agricultural development work in the Hohoe district of Ghana. This study was done in a context in which (a)agricultural production is carried out by small scale farmers who depend on social networking at the village level, for the distribution and management of agricultural resources, and on local knowledge for productive purposes; (b)government efforts at agricultural development is implemented through the activitiesof its agricultural development agencies - Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA) and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MIST).Participative learning, based on the logic and concepts of action research, experiential learning and critical systems learning, was used as a methodological framework. The conclusion drawn from this inquiry is that participative learning is a legitimate and an effective way of facilitating the development of food and other agricultual production. The challenge is therefore for individuals and organizations involved in the development of agricultural production to establish suitable processes and relationships to support participative learning.

Abstract:
The main millennium development goal is to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger in the world by 2015. South Africa is one of the countries that signed this pledge at the millennium summit in 2000. The Department of Agriculture, has initiated a number of projects to assist farmers and communities with reaching this goal. In the Northern Cape, the commercialization of goats is one such anchor project. The major activities of this project is to train farmers in applied and appropriate production practices, assist them with accessing markets and supporting them with improved livestock. The main aim of this research was to evaluate whether the project has achieved its outcome and whether this outcome, is having an impact on the livelihoods of the farmers involved in the project. After reviewing the literature on evaluation research and programme evaluation across time, the different paradigms and approaches, participatory methodology was used in this study. A case study approach was applied to evaluate the outcomes and effects of the training received by farmers, as part of the commercialization of goats programme. The results of the study proved that the training received by members of the Campbell Agricultural Co-operative Enterprises, changed their goat production practices. The training also had a secondary impact. Trained farmers were imparting (technology transfer) their acquired knowledge to other members of the co-operative. This appeared very effective as all members of the cooperative were farming more scientifically. These changes to the production practices had a positive impact on the livelihoods of the farmers, as their animals were of a better quality and they were able to sell their animals at different markets and for better prices. This has however not commercialized their farming operations as they are still faced with many challenges. These challenges are the lack of a proper marketing structure, access to financial assistance, proper infrastructure and adequate transport for the animals to mention a few. If the Department of Agriculture and Land Affairs is serious about assisting these farmers to move from the status of “emerging farmer” to “commercial farmer” they will have to look at addressing the problems experienced with financial access and access to adequate and appropriate transport.

Abstract:
AbstractUnderstanding the factors influencing the perception of climate change can help improve policies for strengthening the adaptive capacity of pastoralists with regard to climate change. Despite this importance, few studies have focused on this issue, especially among cattle farmers. In order to attempt filling this gap, this study analyzed the determinants of the perception of climate change by cattle farmers distributed in the dry and sub-humid tropical zones of Benin as well as the current adaptation strategies developed by these farmers. For this purpose, surveys were carried out through group discussions and an individual questionnaire administered to 360 cattle farmers in the two climatic zones. The data collected related to the sociodemographic characteristics of cattle farmers and their perception of climate change and adaptation strategies. A binary logit model has identified the factors that influence cattle farmers’ perceptions of climate change. The results of the study showed that cattle farmers perceive a drop in rain (at least 77%), an increase in temperature (at least 80%), and violent winds (at least 60%). Breeding experience, level of education of the farmer, household size, membership of a breeders’ organization, and cattle herd size determine these perceptions. Four major groups of adaptation strategies have been developed by farmers to cope with climate change. These are production adjustment strategies, activity diversification strategies, livestock management strategies, and selection strategies. The political implication of this study is that government and development partners should integrate these factors into projects and programs related to climate change.

Abstract:
AbstractClimate change has the potential to disrupt sustainable development initiatives, particularly in developing economies. A substantial body of literature reveals that developing economies are vulnerable to climate change, due to high dependency on climate-sensitive sectors, such as agriculture. In Ghana, a growing body of literature has revealed multiple adaptation strategies adopted by smallholder farmers to respond to and reduce climate change impacts. However, there is a dearth of literature on the effectiveness of adaptation strategies. This chapter explores the adaptation strategies of smallholder farmers and analyzed the predictors of effective adaptation. Through the technique of simple random sampling, 378 smallholder farmers were selected, and data was collected using a questionnaire survey. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed using the SPSS software. The findings indicate that smallholder farmers adopt multiple adaptation strategies to reduce the impact of climate change. In addition, it is revealed that marital status, years of farming experience, knowledge of climate change, and education are significant predictors of adaptation. Moreover, the chapter found that marital status, weedicide application, change in staple food consumption, and planting of early-maturing crops are good predictors of effective adaptation. The chapter recommends the need to intensify adaptation strategies through agricultural extension programs and interventions that improve rural food security and livelihood. In addition, the chapter recommends strengthening the capacity of farmer organizations and rural institutions, particularly agricultural extension and advisory services.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, we examine the role of knowledge processes in the form of local practice, research, innovation and education in agroecology transformations. Knowledge and power are intimately linked; the questions of ‘what knowledge’ and ‘whose knowledge’ is valued are vitally important. We review the informal (outside of institutions) and formal knowledge processes that have been found to support agroecology. These affirm and enable the knowledge systems of agricultural producers, especially those of women and youth. We further discuss how the combination of scientific knowledge with local and traditional knowledge is important in agroecology transformations. Unfortunately, mainstream knowledge systems often disable agroecology because they privilege outside and top-down processes of knowledge transfer that invalidate local, farmer and indigenous knowledges.

Abstract:
Shocks and stresses from natural disasters, climate change, economic volatility, armed conflicts and political instability could hinder expansion efforts by smallholder farms (SHFs). The application of the resilience concept as a mitigator of the impacts of such shocks on land expansion by farmers is an important developmental challenge. In this paper, we hypothesise that the resilience capacity of SHFs mitigate the adverse effects of conflict shocks and examine how assets, off-farm income, access to social safety nets, and education level of the household lead contribute to household-level resilience to armed conflicts.

Full text
Abstract:
Remittances from overseas can encourage human capital investment, but empirical studies have shown mixed evidence. This paper uses a 5-year panel dataset in the Kyrgyz Republic to examine the impact of remittances on the human capital formation of school-age children. After correcting for endogeneities with instrumental variables, the study finds that remittances have negative impacts on educational achievement. Extended hours of farm labor by children and increased expenditure on durable goods are identified among recipient households. To mitigate negative effects of remittances on children’s learning, the findings call for actions such as financial literacy education and better monitoring of farm labor hours of school-age children.

Full text
Abstract:
In this Insight Note, we report results of a phone survey that the RISE Tanzania Research team conducted with 2,240 parents (or alternate primary care-givers) of primary school children following the school closures in Tanzania. After the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Tanzania on 16 March 2020, the government ordered all primary schools closed the following day. Schools remained closed until 29 June 2020. Policymakers and other education stakeholders were concerned that the closures would lead to significant learning loss if children did not receive educational support or engagement at home. To help stem learning loss, the government promoted radio, TV, and internet-based learning content to parents of school-age children. The primary aims of the survey were to understand how children and families responded to the school closures, the education related activities they engaged in, and their strategies to send children back to school. The survey also measures households’ engagement with remote learning content over the period of school closures. We supplement the findings of the parent survey with insights from interviews with Ward Education Officers about their activities during the school closures. The survey sample is comprised of primary care-givers (in most cases, parents) of students enrolled in Grades 3 and 4 during the 2020 school year. The survey builds on an existing panel of students assessed in 2019 and 2020 in a nationally representative sample of schools.4 The parent surveys were conducted using Computer Assisted Telephonic Interviewing (CATI) over a two-week period in early September 2020, roughly two months after the re-opening of primary schools. We report the following key findings from this survey: *Almost all (more than 99 percent) of children in our sample were back in school two months after schools re-opened. The vast majority of parents believed it was either safe or extremely safe for their children to return to school. *Only 6 percent of households reported that their children listened to radio lessons during the school closures; and a similar fraction (5.5 percent) tuned into TV lessons over the same period. Less than 1 percent of those surveyed accessed educational programmes on the internet. Households with access to radio or TV reported higher usage. *Approximately 1 in 3 (36 percent) children worked on the family farm during the closures, with most children working either 2 or 3 days a week. Male children were 6.2 percentage points likelier to work on the family farm than female children. *Households have limited access to education materials for their child. While more than 9 out of 10 households have an exercise book, far fewer had access to textbooks (35 percent) or own reading books (31 percent). *One in four parents (24 percent) read a book to their child in the last week.
