Abstract: This study investigates the potential impact of students' demographic variables, namely gender, age, computer experience, and computer use on achievement in English among convenience-sampled 81 students within the School of Arts and Humanities, the Department of English Studies in Moulay Ismail University of Meknes. To this end, achievement tests are analyzed and interpreted quantitatively; whereas the follow-up interviews are treated qualitatively. The statistical tools used in order to help analyze and interpret data include descriptive and inferential statistics which make use of frequencies, percentage, Independent Samples t-Tests, and ANOVA tests. Following what has been hypothesized, the test results do not support the four research hypotheses claiming there is no statistically significant relationship between gender, age, and computer experience and computer frequency of use on students' level of achievement..

Abstract: The importance of agriculture in the development of the Nigerian economy cannot be overstressed. It is central to the economic activities of the rural sector. In an effort to strengthen the sector, the President Buhari led administration came up with the Agriculture Promotion Policy 2016-2020. The policy which is also referred to as The Green Alternative is driven by engagement of marketplace participants, farmers, states, investors, financial institutions, and communities. Judging from the experience of failed policies in Nigeria, the policy is concerned with assessing the challenges and prospects of the policy framework and implementation strategies. Data is drawn largely from secondary sources and content analysis is used to evaluate literature. From literature reviewed and analysed, the study concludes that an effective way of implementing the policy is by ensuring that the advocacy of providing a conducive legislative and agricultural knowledge framework, macro policies, security enhancing physical infrastructure and institutional mechanisms for coordination and enhancing access to adequate inputs, finance, information on innovation, agricultural services and markets is fully achieved.
