Educational challenges facing female students in secondary schools: a case of Morogoro rural district
(Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2007) Machimu, Gervas
The study investigated the educational challenges facing female students in
secondary schools in Morogoro Rural District. The specific objectives were: (i) to
examine female enrolment status, (ii) to assess problems facing female students, and
(iii) evaluate how educational programmes address the shortfall. The study design
was a cross-sectional survey. Data were collected using a checklist ?n<.'
questionnaires supported by personal observation and formal discussion with key
informants. Descriptive statistics and multiple responses were used in this study. The
study was based in four schools randomly selected out of 13 secondary schools in
the district namely: Nelson Mandela, Kiroka, Mkuyuni and Matombo. It involved
116 respondents (80 students, 32 teachers and four school administrators). The
findings show that many female students enrolled in secondary level at the
recommended age (14 - 17 years) compared to boys. Participation of girls in
leadership; freedom of expression was high in the surveyed schools. A positive
response of younger female teachers’ employees of 21 - 25 years age group was
observed. Many girls are enrolled in secondary schools but are more likely to
dropout from school compared to boys. The major problems observed in the study
schools contributing to this high dropout rate were pregnancy, early marriage and
truancy. Again girls were mostly engaged in domestic chores thus eroding their
study time. In addition, lack of food provision programmes, hostels, distance and
transport status were noted to be major problems facing girls and boys as well. One
of the strongest cause of problems in the study area was more socio-cultural and is
due to different beliefs including that a woman is limited to being a wife and a mother.
The study also found that the influence of women in Luguru society
(matrilineal system) in educating female students was slight. The study recommends
the introduction of programmes that promote education to both boys and girls in the
curriculum since pre-primary school to enable students understand their right to be
educated. Homework policy should be shared to parents by school administrators
especially in day schools. Parents might know how much time >s appropriate to
spend on homework and enable girls to also work on homework. For the Luguru
society respect to all parents should be insisted since pre-primary school.
Entrepreneurship in economic development
(ENCOSTOR, 2008) Wim ,Naude
What is the role of entrepreneurship in economic development? At a minimum the answer
should be able to explain the role of entrepreneurs in the structural transformation of countries
from low income, primary-sector based societies into high-income service and technology
based societies. More broadly though, it should also be able to explain the role of
entrepreneurs in the opposite pole of stagnating development (including conflict) and in high
innovation-driven growth. Although economic development lacks a ‘general theory’ of
entrepreneurship, which could encompass a variety of development experiences, much
progress has been made in extending the understanding of entrepreneurship in the process of
development. This paper surveys the progress with the purpose of distilling the outlines for a
more general theory of entrepreneurship in economic development. Entrepreneurship in
developing countries remains a relatively under-researched phenomenon, so by surveying the
current state of research, and by discussing the role of entrepreneurship in dual economy
models of structural transformation and growth, a secondary objective of this paper is to
identify avenues for further research. Finally, the policy implications from the economic
literature suggest that a case for government support exists, and that this should focus on the
quantity, the quality, and the allocation of entrepreneurial ability. Many routinely adopted
policies for entrepreneurship, such as provision of credit and education, are shown to have
more subtle effects, not all of which are conducive to growth-enhancing entrepreneurship.
The role of information technology in the organization: a review, model, and assessment
(Elsevier Science Inc., 2020-12-13) Dewett, T; Jones,G
This paper reviews and extends recent scholarly and popular literature to provide a broad overview
of how information technology (IT) impacts organizational characteristics and outcomes. First, based
on a review of the literature, we describe two of the principal performance enhancing benefits of IT:
information efficiencies and information synergies, and identify five main organizational outcomes of
the application of IT that embody these benefits. We then discuss the role that IT plays in moderating
the relationship between organizational characteristics including structure, size, learning, culture, and
interorganizational relationships and the most strategic outcomes, organizational efficiency and
innovation. Throughout we discuss the limitations and possible negative consequences of the use of
IT and close by considering several key areas for future research. © 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All

Tanzania modern llibrary in research and development
(University of Nebraska - Lincoln, 2021) Mwilongo.K
The modern and advanced development in Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
has influenced various changes in the universe and resulted to phases of paradigm shifts and
affected individuals, groups, organisations, institutions and states. The globalization of
everything has similarly modernized and impacted the academic libraries and librarians. Modern
academic libraries strive and undertake this development in facilitating sharing of research data
and outputs with its potential stakeholders for Research and Development (R&D). Librarians and
have to adapt new and emerging technologies, deploy the web technologies for cyberspaces,
smart or digital library information and services, transform to embedded librarians for dynamic
collaboration and partnership with stakeholders in sharing experience, research data and products
for innovative R&D. Professionalism and personal competencies are the panacea for the modern
librarians to remain relevant in the new environment. Technology and knowledge gaps lead to
challenges that the modern libraries have to address and sustainably maintain their visibility,
collaboration and sharing of research data and products for R&D. More important, modern
libraries have to fully embrace the digital innovations, promote linkages and collaboration with
R&D institutions or centres. Moreover, they have to integrate various innovative policies which
foster sharing of research data and products and to make technology and innovative R&D among
the core components of the university functions.
Malnutrition and desease
(Freedom from Hunger Campaign, 1963) WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIO
The first half of the twentieth century has witnessed three major revolutions.
The political revolution has given self-government to nearly a third of the
world's population and has brought their aspirations for a better life to the
forefront of world attention. The revolution in communications has broken
down the barriers of distance and language, and the dynamism of ideas can
no longer be contained within the limits dictated by social privilege or political
considerations. The demographic revolution has imparted to the challenge of
poverty and want a new dimension.
