Abstract:

In modern times, there has been a search for a new model of public administration that will ensure efficiency in service delivery, as the traditional model has failed in that direction. This led to the emergence of New Public Management, some of whose modes include Outsourcing, Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and e-Government. E-Government is basically the use of Information Communication technology (ICT) and its application by the relevant government body for the provision of information and public services to the people. In simple terms, e-Government is the use of technology to enhance the

The weak performance of university undergraduates currently in Nigeria can be traced to the University admission structure. Applicants who met admission requirements in the Senior Secondary School Certificate by acquiring the requisite five credits or its equivalent are seen as potential University undergraduate students. Candidates who score the required cut off points in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (PUTME) are presumed to be proficient of pursuing chosen courses of study effectively in the University.

The purpose of this study is to examine the use of the 6+1 Writing Traits approach in improving teaching and learning of writing in a Matriculation ESL classroom. This is due to the fact writing instruction has become a field of increasing interest at higher learning institutions and at pre- university levels in recent years. As a result of this interest, there have been many innovations to the teaching of writing in the evolution of language teaching and these have led to several significant shifts on how writing is taught in the ESL classrooms. The 6+1 writing traits is one such innovation.

He was born on 6 February 1928 in Paris as a child of painters. Due to wartime difficulties, most of his education was acquired at home. In spite of this, he passed the examination of a high-school prior to his matriculation (Abitur). Although Schramm's school had a pure classical orientation (humanistisches Gymnasium), he read on his own initiative Euclid in Greek.

The outcomes of IEA's Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) conducted from 1995 to 2002 confirmed that there was no improvement in the learning outcomes of grade eight learners in Mathematics and Science. Additionally, the failure rate in Mathematics at the National Senior Certificate (NSC) Matriculation examination has increased from 2008 to 2018 in South African schools. It was consequent on this decline in performance that the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) Chair in Science and Mathematics Education developed a short learning intervention progra

Abstract:

The emergence of Student Pidgin in Ghana is estimated to have started fairly recently: between 1965 and the early 1970s (Huber, 1999; Dako, 2002). Male students in high prestige senior secondary schools and universities have been credited with leading in the development of Student Pidgin. The use of Student Pidgin has since been spreading among some girls and is currently found in an increasing number of contexts, including the home. The fact that students use Student Pidgin seems unexpected, considering the fact that they are competent speakers of Standard English.2 In this context, the quest

Many Japanese universities now accept a large percentage of students who have not taken traditional entrance examinations, most commonly through recommendation. Although this can foster diversity, it can also lead to proficiency gaps amongst students in English courses. A longitudinal study was conducted of students through 2 years of required EFL courses using TOEIC results from the 1st and 2nd years, and matched surveys on attitudes towards English from the beginning, middle and end of 2 years of English courses.
