Abstract: The success of every education system depends on the quality of the teachers that manages it. Due to this, Governments, Non-Governmental Organizations have persistently created an avenue to improve the worth of the teachers through capacity building workshops. However, despite workshops, the students' performance continues to dwindle! Hence, reflecting the inefficiency of the workshops that are organized without identifying the areas of need. There is therefore the need to assess the training needs of the Teachers. This study employed survey research design and class observation to assess the training needs of teachers of public Basic Schools in Kano North Senatorial Zone. The population.....

Abstract: The initial component of administration is planning, which centers on determining what, when, and how objectives will be accomplished. Strategic planning, a long-term plan spanning 5-10 years, is created by top management to establish the vision, mission, and objectives of an organization. Strategic planning is a crucial factor for success in schools, as it helps to set the direction and goals of the institution. The development of a strategic plan by top management ensures that the school is aligned with the dynamic internal and external environment. This comprehensive planning process addresses the entire organization and its operations. The purpose of the research was to assess the efficiency of strategic planning in public schools in the Galle District in Sri Lanka. The objectives........

Abstract: Background: Concept attainment ability is that ability of any student on the basis of which he is successful in understanding various principles. This ability is basically influenced by the surrounding environment. Generally, there is a substantial difference in the environment and infrastructure of schools in urban and rural areas. Therefore, there is a possibility of developing a substantial difference in the development of a clear concept towards principles. There is a significant difference in the classroom environment, activity of laboratories and availability of physical resources, affecting the concept formation ability of secondary school students of urban and rural areas. The present study deals a comparative study between urban and rural area based on their environmental differences.....

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is defined as the study of intelligent agents, which are devices that perceive their environment and take actions to maximize their chance of success at some goal. A subset of AI is Machine learning (ML), which learns on a trial & error basis and improves its performance on the results. Deep learning, a subset of ML, uses neural networks, which are one of the most beautiful programming paradigms ever invented. Clinical drug development has remained relatively unchanged for the last 30 years. The most common applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in drug treatment have to do with matching patients to their optimal drug or combination of drugs, predicting drug-target or drug-drug interactions, and optimizing treatment protocols. AI can also identify patients who might respond better to a certain medication and predict possible complications, thus optimizing patient selection, augmenting the speed of discovery, and reducing the cost burden.

Abstract: The paper dwelt on planning university education for graduate demand in the Nigerian labour market. It is worrisome that a huge number of graduates from the Nigerian universities are unemployed as they are not demanded in labour market. This phenomenon is disturbing considering the huge amount of money used in producing a graduate out of the university system by parents as well as expenditure spent on education from other stakeholders. Educational planners, policy makers and stakeholders must proffer ways of stemming the trend of low demand of university graduates in labour market in Nigeria. The paper identified methods of planning education such as manpower requirement approach and cost benefit approach. Reasons were adduced why university graduate.......

Abstract: The purpose of the Research Paper was to investigate the quality status of Preschool center in Ranga Reddy. To address the intention of this research, mixed research design was used. Data was collected via questionnaire, interview, FGD, document review and Observation. The quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed using percentage and thematic analysis. The findings of the study revealed that overall quality of early childhood education was below the standard. Physical environment and teaching materials were below the expected level and they were not found to be developmentally appropriate. Literacy and numeracy were given more focus in their learning-teaching process than including contents that address child holistic development.......

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to explore whether principals play the expected professional leadership roles in managing teachers' professional development practices in the secondary schools of Addis Ababa. In an attempt to address this issue, a qualitative case study was conducted in four purposefully selected senior secondary schools. Qualitative data obtained from the semi- interviews were analyzed and coded thematically. Thematic analyses were conducted on the data using narrative accounts. Even though there was not a significant problem in both principals' and teachers' perception on the importance of CPD, findings suggested that principals did not play the professional leadership roles in managing the CPD. To this end, the implementation of teachers' professional development was handicapped due to several challenges such as, lack of, inadequate professional......

Abstract: Language is the means to share ideas or communicate with one another. Communication would be the yardstick to check how well a person is able to exchange his idea or the thought process to somebody else. In the process of identifying the best presenters with effective language influence and good communicative abilities, it is identified that introverts who are treated as quiet and calm going people proved to be excellent communicators at times of need. This thought boosted to identify how many introverts go in-vain without even identifying their intellectuality. For this, the research was first done to identify the percentage of introverts in a classroom. Later it is identified that whether.......
