ABSTRACT

Higher education is undoubtedly an advanced and enhanced platform of knowledge acquisition that should be accessible by all that so desires but considering the disproportionate ration of gender composition in most postgraduate programs it becomes very important to identify and address the factors barricading women from accessing and finishing postgraduate programs. This study collates the experiences of female postgraduate students of the University of KwaZulu-Natal through an in-depth interview and discovered that sacrosanct amongst factors limiting women’s progressing into higher education is finance. It’s discovered that female students sponsor their education through avenues such as family support, bursaries and scholarships, loan and on-campus job opportunities. It advances that avenues engaging students in productive labour be increased in most institutions as these platforms are viable sources of financial assistant and could be explored by other students if available

ABSTRACT

The paper focused on the imperatives of formal and non-formal education and the need to incorporate skill acquisition in every field of endeavor in order to empower the youths in Nigeria. In recent years, youth restiveness has been a thing of concern and it has posed a lot of threats to the peace and security that used to exist before in the country. Previous studies have been able to highlight entrepreneurship education and skill acquisition has a veritable tool in tackling unemployment and youth restiveness but it is worthy of note that purposeful and functional entrepreneurship which can identify related problems peculiar to different environments where people live is the only sustainable way out to empowering the youths. A cross sectional survey of youth empowerment programmes across the country revealed that the distribution of motorcycles and tricycles by politicians is not a way out of unemployment as it will only provide temporary succor because such cannot last for a lifetime. Therefore, the youth empowerment concept should be able to develop youths in specialized professions so that they can improve on their talents and set up businesses and probably become consultants in their professions. Recommendations were further made on how entrepreneurship education can sustain the unemployed youths

Seeing Through the Eyes of the Voyager (A Review of Twelve Pilgrims

The metaphor of seeing is a powerful one, and Twelve Pilgrims is a product of seeing. On the cover, we see the clear road marks of the meandering road through the arid mountains and valleys of Palestine. This is a powerful image and the emotion it invokes in each of us depends on our history of the Holy Land, and our feelings about it. For some, it invokes a sense of awe, for others melancholy, and still for others, nostalgia. But none of us is left unaffected by it. It is the same picture, the one we see on the cover; but we each react to it differently. Such is the power of seeing. It is just as the American writer Rick Riordan once observed

ABSTRACT Man, as experience has shown and wisdom confirmed, is a being whose behaviour is full of contradictions. This is a being whose ultimate craving is meeting the needs of his well-being. For that reason, he becomes a curious being always interested in every aspect of his existence and an innovative being always effecting changes to meet his latest desires. Contradictorily, while man is carrying a new picture of aspects of his life that call for amendment, he is equally sitting in the realm of stagnation where he is tied to the chain of habit which has become antithetic to changes in his way of living. Since man is a being of possibility always carrying a picture of future better self in his mind, stagnation is a foreign body to his being. For that, he needs to be helped to see how to phase stagnation out in his life. So the purpose of this work is to show how philosophy of motivation can help man to free himself from the chains of stagnation and embrace the booster of positive changes and use it to manage his life. The significance of this work is that it will help man to understand and appreciate his potentials and as well to see how to cultivate positive attitudes that will enable him to use them in effecting positive changes in all spheres of his endeavors. In order to give the topic a deserved treatment by leaving no relevant stone to it unturned, methods of exploration, critical reflection, analysis and prescription have been adopted.
