Full textAbstract:
Private schools and owners invest a lot of worthwhile input in the provision of functional educational service delivery thus paving way for further access, equity and fair play to every intending learner as complement to the effort of government, the public school providers in Nigeria. This development actually met the world declaration of the expectation from all nations of the world to provide mass, quality and free education to all citizens. By and large, education service delivery as a social service requires huge sum of money in its operations across all levels of educational institutions – basic, post basic and tertiary. The paper examined effective management of private schools in Nigeria and the necessity for governments’ intervention. In a nutshell, the paper espoused: the world demand on provision of quality education; available sources of funding for private school ownership; challenges of private school ownership and management; justification for the establishment of private schools to support government established institutions; comparism of funding and management pattern of private schools in Nigeria and diaspora; and core constraints of private schools. The paper concludes and recommends that, respective governments, their agencies and parastatals should participate actively in rendering adequate support regarding award of grant-in-aid to owners of private schools; and that cost of registration and set up cost on infrastructural facilities for private schools - low, medium and high scales should be cut down by FME or SMoEs , ZIE, LIE, UBEC, TRCN, and similar institutions thus, affordable to create more access to learners with standards.

AbstractThe U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue, holding that religious schools cannot be excluded from a state program of financial aid to private schools, is another incremental step in the Court's long-running project to reform the constitutional law of financial aid to religious institutions. There was nothing surprising about the decision, and it changed little; it was the inevitable next link in a long chain of decisions. To those observers still attached to the most expansive rhetoric of no-aid separationism, it is the world turned upside down. But the Court has been steadily marching away from that rhetoric for thirty-five years now. The more recent decisions, including Espinoza, do a far better job than no-aid separationism of separating the religious choices and commitments of the American people from the coercive power of the government. And that is the separation that is and should be the ultimate concern of the Religion Clauses—to minimize the government's interference with or influence on religion, and to leave each American free to exercise or reject religion in his or her own way, neither encouraged by the government nor discouraged or penalized by the government.

Full textAbstract:
Effective school health service helps to reduce ill health, increase school attendance, academic performance, decrease school dropout rates, and additionally plays a role in identifying children with emotional, behavioural, and mental health problems for proper assessment and appropriate interventions. To assess the status of the school health services in selected public and private primary schools within Owerri Municipal Local Government Area, Imo State. A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out from March to April 2017. Out of the 48 government approved primary schools, 36 (12 public and 24 private) schools within Owerri Municipal LGA were assessed. Relevant data was obtained from school head teachers and direct observation was done where applicable. The responses were scored using a validated School Health Programme evaluation scale. The overall mean score for School Health Services in Owerri Municipal LGA was 13.14 with the mean scores of 14.42 for private and 10.58 for public schools which were significantly lower than the minimum acceptable score of 19. The private schools performed better than public schools in practice of School Health Services and their mean difference was statistically significant (p=0.012). School health personnel were available in fourteen (38.9%) schools, out of which one (8.3%) public school had health personnel. All (100%) schools had first aid boxes, but none of the schools had the boxes completely stocked. School health clinics were available in one (8.3%) public school and 5 (20.8%) private schools. School meals were served in six (25%) private but none in public schools. The overall status of school health services in primary schools within Owerri Municipal LGA is poor. The private schools performed comparatively better than public schools. These findings therefore portray the need for implementation of the National School Health Policy by the State Ministries of Education and Health. Keywords: Implementation, School Health Services, Public and Primary Schools.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFS) Programme is an initiative to decrease the burden of anaemia among adolescents studying in Government schools.
Objective: To assess the difference in prevalence of anaemia among Government school-going adolescents girls on WIFS as compared to private school girls not on WIFS.
Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted among adolescent girls, 7th to 10th standard in Government schools (on WIFS) and private schools (not on WIFS). The sample size in each group was 104, selected by multi-stage sampling. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaire, clinical examination and haemoglobin estimation. Chi-square test and Unpaired t test used to compare the categorical and continuous variables respectively.
Results: The prevalence of anaemia among the school children in government schools was 51% and in the private schools it was 64.4%. The mean haemoglobin was 11.77 ± 1.41 and 11.34 ± 1.49 in government and private school girls, respectively, which was statistically significant (p=0.013).
Conclusions: The prevalence of anaemia among the government school girls was lesser as compared to the private schools girls, suggesting the role of WIFS in the reduction of prevalence of anemia. WIFS programme may be extended to private schools as well.

Abstract We study how private equity buyouts create value in higher education, a sector with opaque product quality and intense government subsidy. With novel data on 88 private equity deals involving 994 schools, we show that buyouts lead to higher tuition and per-student debt. Exploiting loan limit increases, we find that private equity-owned schools better capture government aid. After buyouts, we observe lower education inputs, graduation rates, loan repayment rates, and earnings among graduates. Neither school selection nor student body changes fully explain the results. The results indicate that in a subsidized industry, maximizing value may not improve consumer outcomes.

INTRODUCTION: School Health Program is an event that promotes the understanding, maintenance, and improvement of the school community's health and ensures that children are at all times in a state of optimum health. The implementation of School Health Programme in most parts of Nigeria is, however, poor or suboptimal. The objective of the study was to assess the quality of the School Health Programme being implemented in Ido/Osi Local Government Area, Southwest Nigeria.METHODS: Focused group discussions were carried out among 4 different groups of 8 participants each, with each group comprised of different administrative heads and health instructors. The qualitative study was carried out among primary schools in the Ido/Osi local government area in Southwest Nigeria. The data were analyzed using a thematic framework approach for qualitative data analysis.RESULTS: Administrative heads and health teachers lacked in-depth knowledge of the School Health Programme. Most private schools had good buildings but the majority of public schools had dilapidated structures. All schools had at least a source of water. Toilet facilities were present in a few public schools and in all private schools. Most of the schools practice open dumping of refuse. All the schools had a first aid box but with varying content. Only one private school had a school nurse. All the schools send a child with suspected communicable diseases home. Free mid-day meals are available in public schools but lacking in private ones.CONCLUSION: The study revealed the poor state of SHP in Ido/Osi and identified deficiencies in the effective implementation of SHP.

This paper compared the quality assurance practices in Unity and private secondary schools in Kwara and Oyo States, Nigeria touching variables such as infrastructural facilities, staff discipline. The research design employed for the study was a descriptive survey type. The population of the study was made up of all Unity and Privates secondary schools in Kwara and Oyo States, Nigeria. Purposive and random sampling techniques were used to select the respondents in all the sampled schools. The data for the study were gathered through the use of questionnaires tagged “Quality Assurance Practices Questionnaire” (QAPQ) administered to teachers, Vice Principals and Principals. The data gathered during this study were analyzed with inferential statistics called t-test and ANOVA. The findings revealed a slight difference in infrastructural facilities in the sampled schools. Private secondary schools in Kwara and Oyo State were rated higher than the Federal Government Colleges. This paper further revealed that the discipline and control of staff in private secondary schools in Kwara and Oyo States were stricter than the Federal Government Colleges in both States. Based on these findings, the paper recommended among others that there should be adequate provision of infrastructural facilities, efficient supervision of schools to maintain a quality standard of equipment, especially the provision of potable water and electricity in the Federal Government Colleges. Also, staff discipline in private secondary schools should be more relaxed instead of instant judgment in the interest of fairness and low staff turnover.

Full textAbstract:
After Independence the Kenya Government decided to shape one nation by removing racial discrimination from the education system and providing equal opportunities to all; this was achieved by transferring the management of all secondary schools and colleges to Boards of Governors and giving them Grant-in-aid status. To keep its autonomy Strathmore College opted to operate privately. The integration of the education system enhanced certain human rights but diminished religious freedom. The experience of Strathmore College shows that Boards of Governors and Sponsors may need more freedom to discharge their responsibilities.

Full textAbstract:
Private schools are working tirelessly to provide a quality education without support from the government. This article aims to evaluate the internal and external job stress of high school teachers in private schools in Leyte, Philippines, and determine its governing factors. The study involved a complete enumeration process in selecting the participants and gathering primary data. In analyzing and extracting relevant information from the data, standard descriptive metrics, correlation analysis, and Chi-square test for independence were employed with the aid of statistical software. The findings of the study depicted that private teachers are both internally and externally moderately stressful in their jobs. The Chi-square test revealed that employment status and years in service are associated with the private teachers’ internal job stress and it is significant at a 10% level. In addition, it is depicted that gender, monthly salary, and years in service are significantly dependent on the teachers’ external job stress at a 10% level. Conclusively, the school heads and management of private schools must lessen the work assignments to avoid exhaustion and increase benefits to improve the well-being of teachers. Moreover, it is suggested that teachers in private schools must be provided with training and seminars, incentives, supplies for teaching, and other benefits that improve their productivity and become globally competitive educators.

Background: Nutrition is the real determinant of human health. The development of children into healthy adults is dependent on their growth, in a healthy environment and having balanced nutrition. Objective: (1) To determine the association of nutritional status of children with their age, sex and socioeconomic status. (2) To compare the nutritional status of government school children and private school children. Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional. Settings: Study was conducted in two schools of Faisalabad, Pakistan. Government Girls high school, Punjab Medical College (PMC), Colony Faisalabad and The Smart School, Faisalabad. Duration: Eight months from Jan 01, 2020 – Aug 30, 2020. Methodology: The study was conducted on 200 children, including males & females, to compare weights and heights among government (government) and private (private) schools. Age groups ranging from 9 above to 14 years were being studied. The data was collected by taking anthropometric measures, height and weight, of the students. To assess the nutritional status, the anthropometric measurement of WHO 2007 reference was used as Weight for Age Z-score (WAZ), Height for Age Z-score (HAZ) and Body Mass Index (BMI) for Age Z-score (BAZ). Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation test were used for statistical analysis. Data was analyzed statistically by using SPSS version 20. Results: The weight of private school children (39.3400 ± 2.39199) was normal as they have adequate diet as compared to government school children (38.7500 ± 1.43812) while 2% children were over weighted. Height of private school children (147.7600 ± 5.04949) was more as compared to government school children (146.8100 ± 4.34310). Statistically Pearson Correlation between weight of private and government school’s children was highly significant, p=0.000, df= 1, CI= 95%. Demographic information with height and weight of the children were taken. Z-score was calculated and graphs were plotted. A value within ± 2 SD in these graphs was considered as normal. Conclusion: Socio-economic status affects the availability and quality of food. For under-weight Children, unhygienic and low-quality food/stuffs are the major contributing factors.

The study also intended to evaluate the association of knock knee deformity with BMI. Material and method: In total, 900 school students were selected, and out of these 300 each were from private, government model and government schools in slum areas. Convenient sampling was employed. The age of the subjects ranged from 9 to 13 years. Height, weight, BMI and intermalleolar distance of selected subjects were assessed. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA and correlation were employed. Results: The highest percentages of obese (11.3%) and overweight (15.3%) students were found in the private schools. The highest percentages of severe knock knee deformity (10.7%) were found in the students of the private schools, whereas 16.7% of students in the government model schools had moderate knock knee deformity. Height, weight and BMI were significantly correlated with knock knee deformity. Conclusion: Body weight among the school students might be associated with the school type, as the problem of obesity and underweight was pervasive in private and government schools. Knock knee deformity was related to the school type and body weight status.

Full textAbstract:
Legal aid is the provision of free or subsidized legal services to mainly poor and vulnerable people who cannot afford advocate fees. The right to legal aid is well rooted in the international, regional human rights treaty framework to which Kenya party. The provision of legal aid addresses the concerns of the poor and vulnerable by focusing on challenges that foil access to justice. In recognition of this, the Government of Kenya promulgated the Legal Aid Act, 2016 establishing the National Legal Aid Service to provide legal aid services to needy, marginalized, and vulnerable persons. This was a very important move, propelling the Government to prioritize legal aid provision as a right as well as a necessity for promotion of rule of law and access to justice. However, it is imperative to understand that the duty does not squarely fall on the State alone. There is need for non-state actors’ support from private entities like law firms, NGOs, Law schools and any other qualified legal personnel. Without a doubt, several non-state actors are actively offering free or subsidized legal aid and the purpose of this paper is to look at the lessons faced by a non-state actor from the experience of the authors organizing and running events to offer free legal aid. This includes expounding on challenges faced such as constrained funding, language barrier, illiteracy, and ignorance of legal rights. The punchline here is that there is room for all stakeholder to come together and forge a way forward for an improved legal aid framework in Kenya.

While assessing mathematics performance, attitude towards mathematics and Mathematics learning are frequently cited as factors contributing to success. The present study has been conducted to investigate students’ attitude towards learning mathematics in the higher secondary schools of Assam, India. It is sought to understand the influence of Gender and School Environment (Government and Private) in the study of the subject Mathematics. ATMS (Attitude Towards Mathematics Scale), developed by Dr. S. C. Gakhar, and Dr. Rajni was used to find out the attitude of students towards learning mathematics and their achievement in mathematics both in terms of gender as well as school management pattern. Out of a population of 340 students studying at the higher secondary (10+1) level in the Balijana Block of Goalpara District, a sample of 102 students (56 boys and 46 girls) were selected through Stratified Random sampling technique. One Provincialized, one Government and two Private schools were selected based on purposive sampling technique. The achievement of the students in Mathematics at higher secondary level depends on the gender of the students. The study revealed that achievement level of the male students in Mathematics at higher secondary level is more than that of their female counterparts. The achievement of the students in Mathematics at higher secondary level depends on the school environment. The achievement level of the students in private schools is better than the Government schools. The male students show more positive attitude towards learning Mathematics than the female students. Among the eight components, in few components students of Government schools show more positive attitude than Private schools. Whereas, in some components students of Private schools show more positive attitude than students of Government schools. Therefore, attitudes towards mathematics can be developed through encouraging students and motivating them for learning through constructivism and innovations. Teachers, school environment and home environment should be conducive and shouldn’t hamper students’ mathematical performance throughout their schooling

The present study is aimed at studying the degree of perceived mental health among teachers working in private and government schools with particular reference to Begusarai district of North Bihar, India. It is generally observed that teachers differ to each other in respect of their institutional values, other related opportunities and problems, therefore, the present investigation is planned to make a comparative study of perceived mental health among teachers working in private and government schools of Begusarai district– a well-known town of North Bihar. The sample of the present investigation consisted of one hundred sixty (N = 160) teachers comprising Government School (n=80) and Private School (n=80) randomly selected from different corners of Begusarai district where teachers resides. It was hypothesized that teachers working in private school in Begusarai district would have better mental health in comparison to the teachers working in government schools especially in Begusarai district. A standardized mental health inventory developed by Jagdish and Srivatava (2003) was administered individually on the sample. This inventory also consists of 6 dimensions such as self- evolution, perception of reality, integration of personality, autonomy and stability, growth oriented attitude and environmental mastery. In this inventory high score indicates good mental health. Finally, results revealed significant difference between means of two groups of private and government school teachers as t was found statistically significant. Although, government school teacher has been found to have better mental health as compared to private school teachers, hence, such discrepancy of results has been discussed in detail by giving probable reasons.

This study is driven by some fundamental issues evolving in Pakistan’s educational set-up. In the past few decades, the country has been experiencing what can only be termed a dramatic revolution in education provision. There has been an explosion of private schooling mostly at the primary but at higher levels as well and, somewhat surprisingly, private schooling cannot be relegated the status of an urban èlite phenomenon alone [Andrabi, et al. (2002)]. This has taken the form of many poor households and those in rural areas opting to send their children to fee-paying private schools rather than the non-fee charging government schools. This transformation of the education sector has generated many concerns among which the ‘equity’ issue has been raised to the fore. The unprecedented growth of cheap private schooling has also raised questions regarding the role of these institutions in the delivery of education, the question of parental ‘choice’1 as well as the future of government educational policy.

The degree to which parents support their children’s education affects the child’s academic performance and attendance at school. Presently it has been observed that many private schools are mushrooming in the capital complex of Arunachal Pradesh which reflects that its demand is increasing. Many parents also believed that private schools have more facilities, better teaching staff and infrastructure. In the light of these, this study attempts to understand the attitude of the parents towards private schools and the reasons why parents chose to send their children in private schools rather than in government schools. Results revealed that the parents whose ward is attending private school possessed a highly positive attitude towards the private school and there was growth in enrolment of private school over the years. Therefore, school attendance and academic achievement of the children are significantly influenced by the parents’ supportive attitude towards their education.

Inadequate physical activity (PA) levels are reported in Indian youth, with lowest levels among adolescents, particularly girls. We aimed to identify barriers to and enablers of PA among school children in New Delhi and examine potential differences by gender and school type (government vs. private). A total of 174 students (private school students = 88, 47% girls; government school students = 86, 48% girls) aged 12 to 16 years from two Delhi schools participated in 16 focus group discussions (FGDs) conducted by bilingual moderators. We conducted FGDs separately for girls and boys, for students in Grades VIII and IX, and for private and government schools. We conducted FGDs among government school students in Hindi and translated the transcriptions to English for analysis. We coded transcriptions using a combination of inductive and deductive approaches, guided by the “youth physical activity promotion model.” We identified various personal, social, and environmental barriers and enablers. Personal barriers: Private school girls cited body image–related negative consequences of PA participation. Social barriers: Girls from both schools faced more social censure for participating in PA. Environmental barriers: Reduced opportunity for PA in schools was commonly reported across all participants. Personal enablers: All participants reported perceived health benefits of PA. Social enablers: Several participants mentioned active parents and sports role models as motivators for increasing PA. Few environmental enablers were identified. This study highlights the need for further investment in physical activity within schools and for gender-sensitive policies for encouraging PA participation among adolescents in India.

The study observed the comparative analysis of pupils’ academic achievements in public and private schools in Ekiti State. The study used a descriptive research design of survey type. The sample consisted of one hundred and eighty-two (182) respondents that were selected from the private and public primary schools in urban and rural areas of Ekiti State. A simple random sampling technique was employed in the selection of the 182 respondents and gender equality was considered in selecting respondents for the study. Two instruments were developed and used for the study. Based on the data analyses, findings revealed that there was a significant difference in academic achievements of private and public primary school pupils in favour of private schools. It was further revealed that there were significant effects of the factors responsible for difference(s) in academic achievements between private and public primary school pupils. The outcome of the study showed that the public primary schools which were established, financed and managed by the government have not been performing up to expectation with respect to academic achievements of pupils. Sequel to the findings of the study, it was recommended that government should give adequate priority and proper attention to the education industry, particularly, the public primary schools to enhance proper pupils’ academic achievement.

This study constructs a dynamic model of the coexistence of public and private schools to study the impact of voucher programs when there are nonlinear peer group effects. The government provides public schools as well as tuition vouchers for households attending private schools. School quality depends on expenditure per student and peer quality within the school. When peer quality is nonlinear, more agents will choose public schools if peer quality is more substitutable, whereas more agents will attend private schools if peer quality is more complementary. We find that vouchers will typically create a “cream skimming” effect and the impact of voucher programs on economic performance is sensitive to the way in which peer interactions affect school quality.

Education has positive links with economic development as it raises the productivity of the work force. Beside private rates of returns, the social returns of education are also high. Because of the gains to society, education is subsidised in many countries. Pakistan, where only 2.5 percent of the GDP is spent on education, provides subsidised education in the form of a public school system.1 Government pays for the major expenditures such as construction of infrastructure for education and salaries to the teaching and related staff. Household cost is kept low to attract more people to send their children to schools. Therefore only a nominal tuition fee is being charged for attending these schools.

We investigated the perceptions of students with disabilities (SWD) and their parents about the education offered in private special education institutions in Turkey, called “Special Education and Rehabilitation Centers” (SERCs). Data were collected from a survey administered to 453 SWD and 479 parents and interviews that were conducted with 38 parents. Survey findings indicated both satisfaction and, largely, dissatisfaction with the quality of special education offered in SERCs. Findings indicated that (i) parents were satisfied with the opportunities provided for their children to receive free special education and (ii) there was discontent about the use of government-funded resources, the quality of teaching, environmental arrangements, attitudes and beliefs toward SWD, inspection and supervision, and the way policy was designed and implemented. Findings demonstrate the need to reconsider the quality of education offered in private special education centers and the ways to improve the quality level.

Full textAbstract:
Transitioning from school to higher education institutions, learners may face many challenges, especially in coping with the new cultures of tertiary education. Learners entering universities come from a broad spectrum of diverse backgrounds, including various types of public and private secondary schools such as Full Boarding Schools, Vocational Colleges and Technical High Schools, Government-Aided Religious Schools, National Religious Secondary Schools, Sports Schools, Art Schools, The Royal Military Academy, MARA Junior Colleges of Science (MRSM), and many other private schools. Thus, it is pivotal that learning styles and strategies are redesigned to adapt to the demands of university education. The present study aims to discover the perception of learning strategy utilization among foundation studies learners. This quantitative research explores the relationship among cognitive, metacognitive self-regulation, and resource management as components of learning strategies as propounded by Wenden and Rubin (1987). A purposive sample of 297 participants, randomly selected among learners at the Centre of Foundation Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA, responded to the survey. The survey utilized a 5-point Likert scale which comprises four sections. The results indicate that the three components of learning strategies positively correlate with one another. In addition, it is also found that metacognitive self-regulation positively influences learners by guiding them in supervising their learning process and resolving their confusion by referring back to their reading materials and seeking help from their peers. This finding is crucial to aid educators in employing suitable learning strategies for foundation learners to prepare them for their degree studies.

Introduction: Job satisfaction is one of the determinant factors for professionals. The job satisfaction concerning school teachers reflects their strong motivation towards their job. This study aimed to measure the job satisfaction among teachers of Government and Private schools of Changu Narayan Municipality.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done at seven government and five private schools of wards no. 1 and 2 of Changu Narayan Municipality Bhaktapur District, Nepal over one month (20th April - 19th May 2021). Schools of Changu Narayan Municipality Ward No. 1 and 2 were purposively selected. The data was collected through validated questionnaire on Job Description Index (JDI)8 which consists of 17 domains. Data were entered in Excel and data analysis was done in SPSS version 20.
Results: The overall job satisfaction was 65.77±11.52 which indicates that the majority of teachers were highly satisfied with their job.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate job satisfaction among school level teachers was satisfied in their occupation especially in teaching profession. The domain sources of job satisfaction in school teachers appear to be work itself, coworker, relationship with students and sense of achievement. Whereas motivation in profession is most likely to be less job satisfaction among Government and Private schools.

Private school teachers among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) continue to strive to sustain quality education despite the psychological impact of the COVID-19 crisis. This study aimed to assess the emotions, stressors, coping strategies, and motivational factors of private HEI's teachers in Southern Philippines. Both negative and positive teachers' emotions were observed. Low salary scheme was the primary teachers' stressor. But, teachers utilized helpful strategies to cope with stress. Several motivational factors were seen as significant steps for their institutions to implement and follow. The high level of stressors of teachers during the pandemic influences the emotions towards the community and work situations. As they increasingly practice varied coping strategies and augment motivation to continue to work despite the situation, the better emotional state with lesser adverse feelings they will have. Government support is needed to aid private schools to continue the quality delivery of higher education. It is necessary to address stress-related problems of teachers during the pandemic, and help them strengthen their coping practices and motivation at work.

Full textAbstract:
Private expenditure on school education is one of the sources of education expenditure other than state and central government spending. The 86th Constitutional Amendment Act 2002, and the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009 introduced a rights-based approach to free and compulsory education for all children in the age group of six to fourteen years in India. Under the Right to Education (RTE) Act, a limited number of seats are allocated for free education to economically backward sections in private and private-aided schools. Despite the free education for students in government schools and RTE admissions in private schools, parents incur considerable expenditure. With the increase in the number of private schools, there is an increasing trend in private expenditure on education in India. In this context, this paper analyses factors influencing household expenditure on school education. It is based on primary data collected at the household level in Mysuru district in both rural and urban areas through a survey. The sample consists of 192 households each from urban and rural areas selected randomly from the list available at the schools. Factors influencing the education expenditure of the households on school education were estimated through a linear regression model. Annual Household Income (AHHI), Occupational Status of Father (OSF), Location of Household (LHH), Education Level of Mother (ELM), Education Level of Father (ELF) and Type of Institution (TI) have a positive and significant relationship with total Annual Household Education Expenditure (AHHEE) of the first child in school. In the case of a second school-going child, only Annual Household Income (AHHI) and Type of Institution (TI) were found to have a significant relationship with Annual Household Education Expenditure (AHHEE).

Full textAbstract:
As part of the Ministry of Education (MoE) language policies, the UAE government made Arabic language a compulsory subject for non-speakers in all private schools. The UAE government stipulates that private schools must offer a core programme in Arabic as a second language. Thus, non-Arab expatriates are required to study Arabic as an Additional Language (AAL) from Grade 1 to Grade 9. This qualitative case study aims to explore the attitudes of parents towards the implementation of Arabic as an Additional Language (AAL) in one of the private British schools in Dubai, wherein AAL has been rated ‘Acceptable’. This exploration is a snapshot of attitudes held by parents as key stakeholders in the triad of school, teachers, and parents’ partnership towards the learning and teaching of AAL- whether approving or disapproving of it. It will illuminate some of the arising issues related to potential gaps between the implementation of AAL (practice) and the MoE framework (Theory). Ultimately, this paper aims to uncover challenges and proffer recommendations. To enhance the implementation of AAL in schools, this paper will propose potential parental engagement initiatives that can yield valuable policy decisions.

This study examined the relationship between the parental involvement and academic self- concept of the private and government secondary school students. Thus, it was hypothesized that the parental involvement would be a significant predictor of academic self-concept of children, and also that there would be the differences in parental involvement and academic self-concept of the private and government school children. The sample was consisted of two hundred participants, among them hundred were students of government schools, and similarly hundred were the private school children of grades 6th to 8th. The parental involvement scale was given to the parents and academic self-concept was administered on the children; and they also reported the involvement of their mother or father in such the studies. The age range was 11 to 14 years for children and of parents was 35 to 45 years. The results of the study indicated as the positive relationship of parental involvement with academic self-concept of school students. The parental involvement found as a significant predictor of the academic self-concept of students. The parents of the private school children found more involved than the parents of government schoolchildren. The implications discussed in terms of increasing awareness among government schools to involve the parents more in the studies of their children for better learning outcomes.

Introduction. Childhood overnutrition is a public health problem in low- and middle-income countries because its effect is likely to progress into adulthood that results in developing noncommunicable diseases at a younger age. There is no such previous comparative study that investigated this issue. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and associated factors of overnutrition among government and private primary school students in Gondar town, northwest Ethiopia. Methods. Institution-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from March 5 to April 9, 2019. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 736 participants. Data were collected through face-to-face interview. Data was entered into EPI-info version 7.2.1.0 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regressions were carried out to identify associated factors with overnutrition. Statistical significance was declared using p value< 0.05. Results. The overall prevalence of overnutrition was 9.1%. The prevalence was higher among private schools (51 (14%)) than government (16 (4.3%)). Eating habit while watching television (AOR = 4.08, 95%CI: 1.10–15.16) and not having close friend (AOR = 3.72, 95%: CI: 1.21–2 11.48) were significantly associated with overnutrition in the government schools, while no father education (AOR = 2.59, 95%:CI:1.05–6.39), sweet food preference (AOR = 2.86, 95%:1.19–6.87), fat consumption more than three days per week (AOR = 3.79, 95%CI:1.61–8.91), eating habit while reading (AOR = 4.95, 95%CI:2.29–10.70), and vigorous-intensity sports (AOR = 2.23, 95%:1.02–4.86) were associated with overnutrition in private schools. Conclusion. Prevalence of overnutrition was higher among private than government schools. Hence, it requires attention through creating awareness about healthy diet, healthy lifestyle, and physical activity in collaboration with health and education sectors.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: This study investigates the role of job satisfaction in the relationship between talent management dimensions and turnover intention among private secondary school teachers in Langtang North LGA in the plateau state. Research Methodology: The study used a survey to collect data from a population of 628 teachers. The sample size of 244 was determined using the Taro Yamane formula. The data were collected using questionnaires. Data were analyzed using multiple regression with the aid of partial least squares structural equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 3.0 to evaluate the hypothesized relationships. Results: The results reveal a significant relationship between talent attraction and turnover intention. Second, there is no relationship between talent development and turnover intention, a negative relationship between talent retention and turnover intention, and a positive relationship between talent attraction and job satisfaction. Talent development and retention both had a negative relationship with job satisfaction, and job satisfaction did not moderate the relationship between talent management dimensions and turnover intention. Limitations: The study was limited to 244 teachers in the Langtang North Local Government Area. This limited the involvement of other categories of teachers in the study. Contribution: This study provides valuable insights to policymakers in the educational sector to create a holistic attraction and selection policy that will ensure that teachers with higher retention potentials are employed to reduce the cost associated with teachers’ turnover and to understand the factors that cause employee turnover and implement effective policies and regulations that can enhance the retention of teachers.

The study compared job satisfaction of teachers in government and non-governmental junior secondary schools in Monze Urban District of Southern Province, Zambia. A descriptive research design was used for the study. The sample comprised of 90 teachers that were randomly selected using simple random sampling technique from the nine junior secondary schools. Ten (10) teachers were selected per school and this brought the total study sample to ninety (n=90). Data collected was analysed using SPSS version 23. From the research findings, it was evident that teachers were satisfied with the work itself, working relationship, supervision and the working environment but were not satisfied with the incentive pay and the working conditions. The study also showed a significant difference in job satisfaction between teachers in government and private schools with respect to work itself and supervision, and between teachers in government and mission schools with respect to working relationship. It was therefore recommended that the Ministry of General Education, District Education Boards, school proprietors and managers ensure that fringe benefits such as housing allowance, transport allowance, beneficiary tuition allowance and working conditions are improved in order to enhance job satisfaction of teachers

The growing alarming rate of obesity worldwide is a great concern to individuals and the general public. This has been the trend among secondary schools in many parts of the world in the past three decades. This study, therefore, was aimed at assessing the obesity and overweight among in-school students in public and private schools in Ibadan North Local Government, Oyo State Nigeria. A comparative cross sectional study was carried out among in-school students in Ibadan North Local Government area Oyo State Nigeria. Four hundred (400) respondents were selected using multi-stage sampling technique. Information from respondents was obtained using pre-tested semi-structured questionnaires. Data analysis was done with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. The results showed that when Body Mass Index was used as a measure of obesity, the number of overweight and obesity was significantly more in private schools than in public schools with a p-value less than 0.001. Using Waist and Hip Ratio private school have significantly higher number of obese compared to the public. Body Image Discrepancy private school was higher than that of the public school, but the difference was not statistically high. The nutritional rating of the respondents showed that few of the private students on first day, about one third on the second day and the same on the third day had a healthy eating index. Majority of the respondents scored below six percet which is an indication that many of them are not eating well, that is they are not abiding by the food pyramid rules of daily recommended dietary allowances (RDAs). The nutritional status was significantly associated with the gender, types of school, age groups and class categories of the respondents. The study concludes that WHR detects more of central obesity while BMI accounts for generalised obesity. There was a significant difference in the feeding patterns and activity patterns of the students attending public and private schools. Factors associated with the nutritional status of the respondents were their age, gender, the type of schools and their class categories.

Full textAbstract:
The role of private funding and management in U.S. urban public services has expanded through the auspices of private nonprofit organizations in formal relationships with government and aided by large gifts from wealthy donors with visions for their cities, leading scholars to raise concerns about potential harm to democratic governance and displacement of public investment. Where do these private efforts fit into current policy initiatives to improve equity in schools and parks? Employing Susan Fainstein’s Just City framework, this article analyzes cases in which policy actors sought constraints on private dollars in an attempt to institutionalize equity into public private partnership (PPP) regimes. The Portland, Oregon, school board required that school foundations share funds with a districtwide foundation for reallocation. In New York City, unsuccessful state legislation proposed reallocating private funds but executive action redirected public city funds, and largely nonmonetary private resources. These cases can inform policymakers striving for just cities.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Intestinal parasites not only pose a public health risk worldwidely, but also particularly prevalent in developing countries. They are among the least recognized infectious diseases in the world. The occurrence of intestinal parasites among children attending school is a matter of particular concern because they are at a critical stage of development, and their health can have a negative impact on their growth and academic performance. Study design: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Akhtar Saeed Medical College, Rawalpindi for duration of six months from September 2022 to February 2023. Material and Methods: Data from 25 private school children and 25 government school children was examined and it was found that there were 10 positive cases of intestinal parasites found among government school children and there were 4 cases positive among private school children. Results: The highest percentage of parasite that was found was E.histolytica (22%) followed by G.lamblia (19%). There were 8% cases where hookworm was found to be the cause of intestinal issues. Parasite distribution based on type of school showed that there were 71% cases positive cases found in the government sector schools whereas 28% positive cases were from the public sector schools Conclusion: This study analyzed the incidence of intestinal parasites in private and government school-going children and found that government school children are more exposed to unhygienic conditions leading to intestinal parasite infections. The study highlights the importance of addressing the underlying factors contributing to the high incidence of intestinal parasites in the region and underscores the need for a coordinated and sustained effort to tackle this public health issue. Keywords: intestinal parasite, sanitation, infection and school children.

Full textAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To describe students protected by laws and exposed to soft drinks sales and assess whether forbidding laws are associated with lower availability of these beverages. METHODS: We identified laws forbidding non-government administered cafeterias or sales of soft drinks in schools in the 27 Brazilian state capitals. Data on soft drinks sales were obtained from Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar 2015 (PeNSE – National Survey of School Health 2015), for a representative sample of 9th graders from public and private schools. Students were attributed with the status of their school regarding the law and sale of soft drinks. Co-variables were school status (public or private), school size, geographic regions, mother’s educational level, score of goods and services. We performed multivariate analyses using Poisson regression. RESULTS: The total of 23 laws forbidding sales of soft drinks covered 63.0% of capitals, comprising 56.9% of students. Law coverage was higher among students from more developed regions (67.6%) and in public schools (60.6%), compared with those from less developed regions (38.0%) and private schools (45.8%). Soft drinks were available for 33.9% of students. Students attending public schools in less developed regions had the lowest availability of soft drinks, regardless of law coverage (14.8%; 12.0%); while students attending private schools in these regions had a high availability, regardless of law coverage (82.1%; 73.4%). Restrictive laws were associated with lower sales of soft drinks in more developed regions, and restrictions had a greater association with the availability of soft drinks in public schools (PR = 0.25; 95%CI = 0.15-0.41), compared with private schools (PR = 0.48; 95%CI = 0.35-0.66). CONCLUSION: Laws restricting soft drinks in schools were associated with fewer sales in more developed regions. Private schools were less compliant with the law than public schools. A broadly enforced national law could reduce the availability of soft drinks in schools.

Full textAbstract:
Education is an indicator of relative intellectual development of a person. It integrates knowledge with the intellectual capacity in order to provoke vibrations of thought. The development of science and technology, the philosophy in the form of Vedas, Qurans, Bibles and other religious texts, the contemporary method of civilized social order, all inheres from cognitive skills of mankind. These cognitive skills have been nurtured and further inculcated by the concept of education. However, the COVID-19 pandemic induced lockdowns forced closure of educational institutions in India as well as in other countries of the World. There can be general division of students of private schools based on comparatively better economic standards than those of the Government schools. Such classification is manifest from the different types of fees charged by a private school and the 'free and compulsory education' guaranteed in the Government schools. This economic disparity in reach to quality education is countenanced by the Right to (Free and Compulsory) Education Act 2009 which is applicable throughout the country. This paper endeavours to provide an alternative mode of conduct of regular school classes particularly for the Government schools all over India with the sole objective of greatest good of greatest number. Such an initiative would further the implementation of RTE Act in more effective and transparent manner. The paper endeavours to critically analyse the provisions of the RTE Act and provides certain initiatives or suggestions for the more feasible delivery of education in the Government schools. The research work is based on doctrinal method.

Full textAbstract:
We explain the recruiting and promoting system for high-level Japanese government officials showing the trend of numbers of applicants for the recruitment examination, those who passed the examination, and also those who were employed by some ministries in the last 17 years. We describe the major characteristics of the promotion system for Japanese government officials. Educating and training Japanese government officials in the area of policy studies have been conducted in both university schools, governmental training centers, governmental schools and colleges. An education and training system for government officials needs to be developed so that each government official is equipped with a certain specialty and expertise. A formal system for evaluating individuals and programs has not been common in Japan, especially for evaluating individual work and contribution. We need to “invent” an evaluation system that will make the government officials’ decision-making system work more efficiently. Public and private universities, in particular, have been very active in creating many policy-related schools and departments in the last 20 years. Policy studies, which have been conducted in various schools in the university and government research institutes, are described in detail with their objectives, curriculums, and requirements.

Employee commitment and job satisfaction are traits of motivated workers. These traits translate into increased job productivity and, as a result, improved organisational performance. Employee motivation does not simply come from monetary incentives like salary, fringe benefits, bonuses, commission, etc. In light of this, a study was conducted in selected private secondary schools in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria, to examine the effects of identified motivational factors on employees' productivity. The purposive sampling was used in the study to select eight private secondary schools. The research design for this study was a descriptive survey design. Employees of all privately owned secondary schools in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State make up the study's population. 25 of these employees served as the study's sample. The 125 questionnaires that were distributed were returned. For the analysis of the hypotheses. The descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment of Correlation (PPMC) were used. The findings showed that employee productivity in a limited group of private secondary schools was strongly positively correlated with both the work environment (r=0.965; p<0.05) and training (r=0.852; p<0.05). Thus, organisations should create an environment that is friendly for both teaching and non-teaching staff members in order to increase their job satisfaction.

The sustainability of any organisation depends on the retention of its employees which in turn depends on their satisfaction level. In this study the researcher had investigated the satisfaction levels of private and government school teachers handling primary children. For this research, 50 Government school teachers and 50 Private school teachers, totally 100 teachers, from different schools in Thanjavur city were examined. This study compares the satisfaction levels of the private and government school teachers based on ten variables which are found to influence them. This study also reveals that the demographic factors such as age, qualification, gender, marital status and work experience makes no difference in the job satisfaction levels of teachers. Ten factors such as Opportunity to advance professionally, Income, Recognition, Job Security, Colleagues, Working Conditions, Respect, Personal growth, Management and Immediate supervisor were considered to measure the job satisfaction and it is proved that the job security is the most significant factor among the ten factors which influences job satisfaction.

Full textAbstract:
The educational system in Pakistan is in a dismal position ever since it was established. The government sector has lost credibility with the public and is no longer the first option for parents due to inadequate, consistent, and effective policies and basic infrastructure. Parents are actively choosing the private sector schools for their children. Since denationalization during late 1970s, the private sector has grown steadily. It has expanded during past two decades, establishing new standards for outstanding education, but concerns about the rising class divide affecting social equality have also arisen. The existing literature supports private schools' growing role in expanding enrollment and resolving quality and access issues, but little is stated about their influence on society. Private schools are subtly attacking social justice and equality by increasing the social stratification and widening the socioeconomic difference. Private schools' branding techniques influence parents' choosing a junior and a high school for their children. Most of the research in this field has focused on exploring how the problems of quality, access, and other variables influence students' decisions about which schools to attend. However this research is aimed at exploring on a very basic issue: why are private schools favored because of their "branding"—the branding that has strengthened the status awareness in parents and school choice that has joined the realm of class conflict with several dimensions. The state's obligation to deliver at certain level of essential services has been privatized and sold out in the open market. The middle class's preference is migrating from public to private schools, with the goal of purchasing financial stability in order to gain access to a better-paying jobs and social circles. Today, schooling is not more than just getting an education; it's also a way to show wealth and social standing.

This article examined the measures taken by the Education Bureau of the Japanese Government-General of choseon to the March 1 Independence Movement and the responses of schools. Until now, schools have been understood as a space for independence movement. However, on the other hand, it was a space where the governance policy of the Japanese Government-General of choseon could be reflected in detail. With the 2.8 Declaration of Independence of Korean international students, the Education Bureau began to respond to the independence movement in earnest. The Education Bureau strengthened contact with the police officer and instructed schools at all levels to manage students. The director of the Education Bureau visited Tokyo to prevent the influence of the 2.8 Declaration of Independence from affecting colonial choseon. However, this preliminary response failed. After the start of the March 1st Independence Movement, the Education Bureau strengthened contact with the school authorities at provincial level and the government school. the Education Bureau crack down the school staff and students who participated in the Independence Movement and prevent school students strike and Independence Movement. In addition, foreign-run religious schools were cracked down. After the March 1st Movement, the Education bureau's status rose. As it became a department that manages religion and schools, it was in charge of post-processing of the March 1st Movement. On March 1, 1920, the private school regulations were revised to respond to the Independence Movement to commemorate the first anniversary of the March 1st Movement. Based on these changes, three foreign principals of private religious schools were canceled.

Full textAbstract:
This study uses the Pakistan Rural Household Survey 2004-5 (PRHS), a rich set of households and school data, to examine parents’ schooling decision in rural Pakistan. Nested logit regressions are used to quantify the determinants of child school attendance. The analysis confirms that the greater the number of schools (public or private) in the local communities the higher is the attendance. Lower school attendance of boys seems to be the outcome of lower school quality more than it is for girls. A marginal increase in school quality correlates with increased school attendance in government schools more than in private schools. Nearly all school quality variables including control for number of schools in a community stand insignificant for girls. This shows that other factors might be of more importance than school quality of local schools for girl’s low attendance in rural Pakistan. Besides, parental education, especially mother’s education, and household income have strong positive impact on child school attendance. The greater the number of children in the household the lower is the child school attendance. Credit constraint seems not to be problematic as the estimated effect is statistically insignificant. The size of landholding seems to be important only in the case of girls schooling. JEL Classification: I21, I25, D13, C25 Keywords: Demand for Schooling, Public Education, Private Education, Pakistan
