“…That is no longer a dubious claim. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic alone have forced us to face undesirable realities and overwhelming challenges (Di Pietro, 2023;Hass et al, 2023;Okagbue et al, 2023;Skar et al, 2023). These challenges appear worldwide, albeit in different forms.…”

Recent years have given rise to an overwhelming number of challenges, thus complicating the prioritization of desirable outcomes in education. Clarity of purpose is difficult to generate when competing forces rage simultaneously. Yet, success in education reform depends on clear objectives. To encourage clarity in thought and action, this short essay discusses three salient notions: essential outcomes, communication pathways between micro, meso, and macro levels, and the practical ramifications of limited conceptions of “world.” In the inquisitive and explorative spirit of CIES, and in line with the queries that prompted this response, I offer a series of related reflections for each notion, which I hope will spark conversation and embolden our commitment to critical deliberations and thoughtful initiative.

“…Several researchers suggest that this mechanism is transferred to the follower directly without any mediating channel. Still, the current literature denies this argument that different factors are responsible for channelizing this mechanism (Okagbue et al, 2023). According to them, these factors may be organizational trust, employee recognition and employee hope.…”

Leadership always remains a debatable topic among researchers for decades. Leadership plays a vital role in the development of any organization. Employees of the organization are affected by several factors, but leadership is the most prominent among them. This study examines the impact of transformational and transactional leadership on follower citizenship behaviour in the public sector organization of Balochistan. Furthermore, this study also explores how this leadership behaviour is transformed into the followers. A purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from the 460 public sector employees across the Balochistan province. Data were analyzed via SmartPLS. Results show that both transformational and transactional leadership styles are effective in the context of public sector organizations in Balochistan. The result also says that this leadership style will first engage the followers and satisfy them with their job. When the first condition is achieved with time, this satisfaction and engagement will bring citizenship behaviour to the followers.

“…41,44 Attrition rates of returning to school were also impacted as some caregivers did not send their children back to school due to financial reasons, leading to increasing rates of school dropouts. 42 The prolonged closure of educational institutions also impacted children's social behaviors as they felt they were too old to re-enter schooling, which had a significant effect, especially on the gender gap in secondary school completion rates, with females being less likely to finish school. 43 In South Africa, the government responded to the pandemic with school closures, with a total of 13 million learners losing up to a third of the school year from when the pandemic started to the easing of restrictions.…”

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the lives of populations across the world. Since the first reported case of the coronavirus in Wuhan, China, the world faced a situation of dealing with a novel virus. While the physical health effects of the coronavirus were the center of focus for much of the pandemic, COVID-19 was accompanied with significant social, psychological and nutritional consequences on the world populations. Governments world over moved to contain the virus through nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) by implementing restrictions on social engagement, travel, curfews, and limiting school and workplace attendance. These NPIs significantly affected the vulnerable, low-income populations as they faced high levels of poverty, challenging living conditions, and already-existing inequality owing to disrupted day-to-day activities and social interactions. In this review, we aim to assess how the coronavirus pandemic has affected the African continent at large, highlighting the socio-psychological and nutritional consequences. The paper notes important social dimensions that faced the greatest disruptions and effects, with education being affected by school closures in Africa as across the world and resulting in learning losses for millions of school-going children. The workplace was also affected as reflected in the unemployment consequence where millions of adults lost their jobs due to suspended economic activity. Family and gender-based violence cases further emphasized the social consequences of the pandemic since lockdowns confined women and children to vulnerable environments and denied them access to protective services. The negative economic effects of the pandemic further worsened poverty and inequality for a population that was already in abject conditions. Moreover, there were issues related to the overburdening of a fragile healthcare system, psychological consequences associated with stress and depression and grief and loss, stigma and discrimination related to COVID-19 infection, and nutritional impacts covering food insecurity, malnutrition, and the effects on school feeding programs for children. Accordingly, through citing some examples of a few countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, the review will detail the experiences of the populations within this region which remain plagued with economic and health vulnerabilities that were further exposed by the pandemic.
