Abstract: In Nigeria, higher education is recognized as a key force for modernization and development. The issue of women underrepresentation in leadership positions in Nigeria public Universities remain unattended to, despite the efforts and agreements been made by world bodies and countries to address the issue and ensure even development. One of such agreements was the affirmative action made during the Beijing Conference held in China 1995 which demanded 30% of women for every political position.

Abstract: There has been record of vocational training centres being under capacity in Elgeyo-Marakwet County for the past several years. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the level of awareness on existing sources of financing contribute to enrolment in public vocational training centres. The target population comprised of 11 principals, 60 tutors, 1437 VTCs students and 20 primary school leavers. The sample size had 394 respondents; 11 principals, 52 tutors and 312 VTCs students. Snowballing method was used to locate 20 primary school leavers. The study used questionnaires and interview schedules as instruments for data collection. The study found out that the level of awareness of existing sources of funding by students and school leavers contributed to low enrolment rate in public VTCs. This is because some potential students and their parents were found not to be aware of various agencies providing financing for learning in public VTCs. The study recommends that the county government should create awareness on existence of VTCs and requirements for one to join them.

Abstract: Despite that studies have often focused on gifted children there is a limited amount of research that has examined the gifted adult. Hence, the study examined the relationship of the education that gifted adults received in their childhood with their success in their career, and to know the satisfaction experienced by a gifted adult in his or her career. Through a systematic review of the literature, we categorized the included articles into two thematic areas: first, the effects of early gifted educational experiences and, second, satisfaction with the chosen career and general well-being. Four main themes were examined: (a) gifted adults; (b) gifted children becoming gifted adults; (c) the childhood experiences of gifted adults in gifted education; and (d) gifted adults' career and life satisfaction. The researcher found that gifted adults remain a relatively untested group in the research literature
