“…This is particularly necessary and encouraging because according to Bellinger and Fletcher (2014) there is a decline in the aid to education, more so that to basic education fell by 20% from 2009 to 2012. Funds are very important for this level of education in the views of Domike and Edward (2014) considering the very important role that primary education plays in the transformation of societies through the education of its young ones as it is the largest subsection of any education system. Alternative sources of funding education is very necessary especially at this period of depressed economy.…”

“…Nwachukwu (2014) makes a case for a proper funding of basic education over other levels not only due to limited availability of resources but to ensure a strong education base, so that products of secondary schools will be of such a high quality, that they would have acquired the knowledge and skills to participate actively in the economic and social process. In line with this, UNESCO in Domike and Edward (2014) states that primary education is the largest sub-sector of any education system and offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the transformation of societies through the education of young ones because it is found in every community both rural and urban, developed and developing economies.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent Head teachers utilize innovative sources of funding primary schools in Enugu State of Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was employed to examine the extent head teachers utilize innovative sources of funding primary schools in Enugu State. Data were collected through a 14-item questionnaire titled; 'Extent of Utilization of Innovative Sources of Funding Primary Schools Questionnaire'(EUISFPSQ). A reliability coefficient of 0.79 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha method. The instrument was administered to 409 head teachers and teachers. A total of 400 copies were retrieved, 200 from head teachers and 200 from teachers. Mean and standard deviation were used to collate scores that answered the research question while z-score was used to test the null hypothesis at .05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that all the head teachers agreed to high extent that they utilized the funds from identified innovative sources of funding. Although some teachers disagreed but judging from the grand mean score of 2.61, teachers agreed to a high extent that head teachers utilized money generated from innovative sources in funding primary schools. Also there were no differences between the mean scores of head teachers and teachers on the utilization of innovative sources of fund in financing primary schools. Based on the above, it was recommended that in view of the economic recession, head teachers should articulate more innovative sources of generating funds for sustaining the primary schools and be ready to use the money in funding primary education.

The purpose of this research was to conduct an analysis of the challenges faced in the teaching and learning of Textiles in the primary school curriculum in Masvingo district Zimbabwe. The study was informed and guided by two theories namely the concernsbased adoption model (CBAM) and the pragmatist's theory. A qualitative case study design was employed to allow for naturalistic methods of data collection. The study was conducted at five selected primary schools in Masvingo district, Masvingo province in Zimbabwe. The population of the study comprised teachers, parents, school development committee (SDC) chairpersons, school heads and the schools inspector. Convenience and purposive sampling was employed to get a total of 54 participants. The data was collected using interviews, observation and document analysis. The major findings of the research were that schools lacked facilities for effective teaching and learning of Textiles in form of personnel, infrastructure, equipment and consumables especially in rural schools. The other finding was that the nature of the Grade 7 examination created a negative attitude towards teaching and learning of Textiles. The study recommends that the Government should take a lead in creating a conducive learning and teaching environment for Textiles through provision of both human and material resources. The examination system should give equal status to all subjects assessed in the general paper. Contribution/ Originality:This study contributes to existing literature by conducting an analysis of the challenges faced in the teaching and learning of Textiles in the primary school curriculum in Masvingo district Zimbabwe.

Madueke (2007) further explained that there are two major types of education, namely: informal and formal education.…”

The importance of education has often been underscored by scholars and researchers across different disciplines. Primary education is very crucial to the development of any nation. This is because of the liberating role it plays within the society. Studies have shown that when a person undergoes primary education, many problems that may constitute potential threats to the national and global well-being of a nation are solved. These problems include ignorance, illiteracy, religious violence, insecurity, and political servitude. This study investigated the reading and learning difficulties in English language among private and public primary school pupils in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. The populations for this study are pupils of private and public primary schools in the Federal Capital Territory. It constitutes 491 primary schools in Abuja and an enrolment figure of 185,808. The study adopts multistage sampling technique which is a probability sampling technique. Data was analysed using simple percentages, frequency counts, and tables. Findings showed that primary school pupils experience some difficulties in reading and learning English language which is the medium of instruction in their schools. Some of these problems are environment induced, while others are foundational. In conclusion, the study recommends that parents must ensure they devote adequate time to help their wards develop the interest and confidence needed to achieve comprehension. Teachers need to be more strategic in the teaching of English language, especially by encouraging listening to the language first and constant practice.
