“…Despite the consensus on education as central to successful development, the decades of aid to education in developing countries, and the inclusion of education in the MDGs agenda, it keeps being one of the most relevant development challenges globally (Samoff, 2004; Taylor et al, 2017). Since the beginning of the 2000s, literature calls for two relevant changes in education aid: the use of a sector‐wide approach and the involvement of the civil society.…”

“…Coordination is relevant for increasing the sustainability of education activities and outcomes beyond the life of specific aid projects (Taylor et al, 2017).

This article explores the connections between business activity and development aid that can help achieve the sustainable development goals placed by the United Nations (UN) in its development agenda. The article relies on an exhaustive review of the recent literature on development aid in the context of the European Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Connections exist between private firms' activity and both private and official aid, as firms can engage in business philanthropy, impact migrants' remittances, act as suppliers for bilateral or multilateral financially supported projects and participate in cross sector partnerships that involve agents from different societal sectors.

“…All stakeholders are concerned about why the system is turning out students with poor results. Authors (Ogunsaju, 2004;Owoeye and Olatunde, 2011;Bertoni et al, 2017;Taylor et al, 2017;Ibrahim et al, 2017;Suleiman et al, 2019) states that the academic standard in all Nigerian educational institutions has fallen considerably below societal expectations. Blumende (2001) corroborated this view when he reported that the decline in the quality of education could not be ignored by anyone aware of the significant role of education as an instrument of societal transformation and development.…”

Secondary school as a gateway for the development of other sectors of the educational system provides primary school leavers with the opportunity for qualitative education, the platform for skills and knowledge for vocational work, or higher institutions admission. In Nigeria, public discussions frequently focus on educational standards. This study aims to examine the influence of students' reading habits on students' academic performance. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The schools in Ibadan North LGA were randomly selected, making a total of five schools. Each of the participants was randomly selected, totaling 300 students. There was a significant positive relationship between student reading habits and student academic performance (r = 0.84). At F=1.31, there is no significant difference in the reading habit of male and female students. Reading habit enhances the academic performance of students. Therefore, students should be encouraged to inculcate in them the reading habit by providing enabling environment and infrastructures that will stimulate students to read.
