“…These researchers believed that females have a significant concern for environmental education as compared to men. The study of Imran, Akhtar, Chen, and Ahmad (2021) also confirmed that women play an interactive role in the awareness of environmental education. The findings suggest that women's awareness regarding environmental education can be used as a tool for women's empowerment and assessment to make a greater impact on the sustainability of their communities.…”

The significance of environmental education is witnessed from the literature for all ages. Pakistan, in reflection of its various education policies, is trying to ensure the implementation of environmental education at the school level. The current study investigates the role of teachers in the promotion of environmental education at the secondary school level in district Mardan. The study aimed to investigate the stated role of teachers through a Quantitative (Survey Type Research) design. All public sector teachers from the targeted district constituted the population of the study, for which a restricted tool comprising 27 items was employed to obtain data through the stratified random sampling techniques. The collected data was further analyzed through SPSS using an independent sample t-test. The statistics showed positive and satisfactory results for the study by indicating teachers’ significant role in the promotion of environmental education and also highlighted that the female gender is more sensitive to environmental education as compared to the male gender. Furthermore, the current research evidently verified that the active role of teachers can make a progressive contribution to environmental education.

Childhood diseases remain an increasing health problem in many developing countries and also associated with an enormous financial burden. In South Africa, many people still rely on traditional medicine for their primary healthcare. However, inadequate documentation of medicinal plants used to manage childhood diseases remain a prominent gap. Hence, the current study explored the importance of medicinal plants to treat and manage childhood diseases in the North West Province, South Africa. An ethnobotanical survey was conducted with 101 participants using semi-structured interviews (face-to-face). Ethnobotanical indices such as Frequency of citation (FC), Use-value (UV) and Informed Consensus Factor (ICF) were used for data analysis. A total of 61 plants from 34 families were recorded as medicine used for managing seven (7) categories of diseases resulting from 29 sub-categories. Skin-related and gastro-intestinal diseases were the most prevalent childhood health conditions encountered by the study participants. Based on their FC values that ranged from approximately 0.9–75%, the most popular medicinal plants used by the participants were Aptosinum elongatum (75.2%), Commelina diffusa (45.5%), Euphorbia prostrata (31.6%) and Bulbine frutescens (31.7%). In terms of the UV, A. elongatum (0.75), C. diffusa (0.45), E. prostrata (0.31), H. hemerocallidea (0.19) and E. elephantina (0.19) were the dominant plants used for treating and managing childhood diseases. Based on ICF, skin-related diseases dominated with the highest ICF value of 0.99. This category had 381 use-reports, comprising 34 plants (55.7% of total plants) used for childhood-related diseases. Particularly, B. frutescens and E. elephantina were the most-cited plants for the aforementioned category. Leaves (23%) and roots (23%) were the most frequently used plant parts. Decoctions and maceration were the main preparation methods, and the plant remedies were mainly administered orally (60%) and topically (39%). The current study revealed the continuous dependence on the plant for primary health care relating to childhood diseases in the study area. We generated a valuable inventory of medicinal plants and associated indigenous knowledge for child healthcare needs. However, investigating the biological efficacies, phytochemical profiles and the safety of these identified plants in relevant test systems remain essential in future research.

“…6 , ELT teachers in central districts of Punjab need professional training in the latest technologies used in developed countries, as well as subject development courses such as TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages), TEFL (Teaching of English as Foreign Language), and PEELI (Punjab Education and English Language Initiative). This training will enhance their ability to integrate technology with teaching in their classrooms [ 39 , 40 ]. To address this need, specific professional courses or certifications related to ELT teaching should be added as prerequisites to the qualifications of teachers involved in ELT teaching courses at all levels throughout the country.…”
