Abstract: The study sought to examine the extent to which Zimbabwe's 2-5-2 teaching practice utilized collegial supervision in promoting continuous improvement of student teachers' teaching skills and competencies. The mixed methods design was used to collect data through questionnaires, individual interviews and focus group discussions. The research revealed that collegial supervision was utilized and benefitted student teachers in Zimbabwe's 2-5-2 teaching practice. The study also revealed that mentors were not mandated to monitor and enforce participation of student teachers in collegial supervision hence the inconsistence in participation was noted among student teachers on teaching practice.

Abstract: The term quality of life (QOL) references the general well-being of individuals and societies. The term is used in a wide range of contexts, including the fields of international development, healthcare, and politics. Quality of life should not be confused with the concept of standard of living, which is based primarily on income. Instead, standard indicators of the quality of life include not only wealth and employment, but also the built environment, physical and mental health, education, recreation and leisure time, and social belonging also frequently related are concepts such as freedom, human rights, and happiness. However, since happiness is subjective and hard to measure, other measures are generally given priority.

Abstract: This paper explores the privileges and the rights of women from Islamic perspective as well as from the view of western culture and literature with especial reference to Virginia Woolf and Begum Rokeya. Women hold the prestigious place in Islam which is not very common practice in the current world due to the discrimination. The feminist writers sail to explore a new region of women's rights through their works. In this study both the primary and secondary sources are used. The researchers show how the Asian and Muslim women are provided with better human rights than that of western women as reflected in Begum Rokeya and Virginia Woolf's writings. A study on women's rights in the light of literature and Islam could bring forth the realistic scenario of world's women's predicament as well as some effective solutions to their sufferings.

Abstract:This research sets out to identify authors' use of noun phrases in texts to create effects in the description of their characters, objects and situations in projecting their themes. It exposes the textual and functional concerns of the English NP by doing a textual analysis of selected excerpts from contemporary Nigerian authors: Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie and Broken Ladders by Lekan Oyegoke highlighting the distribution of NP types in different textual categories. It also examines the NP complexity to ascertain whether or not it produces any stylistic effect in the selected texts and finally, to examine if there isany relationship between NP complexities, function and text type.

Chipinge district was selected as the study setting owing to its proximity to Mozambique and South Africa and the massive movement of children to these countries. The study employed a descriptive cross sectional design and child returnee's ages ranging from 12 to 18 years and Child Protection Committee members constituted the target population for this study. These were drawn from the thirty-eight (38) wards of Chipinge district.

Abstract:Flooding In Ado-Ekiti Is Becoming One The Most Environmental Challenges Menacingthe Metropolis In Recent Times. Many Parts Of The Metropolis Had Experience Flooding Especially Rains.There Had Been Various Researches On The Major Causes Of Such Floods In Ado-Ekiti, But Little Has Been Done To Map Vulnerabilityto Floods. The Work Presented Here Is A Vulnerability Mapping Methodology, Based On The Assessment Of Rainfall-Related Flood Hazard Scenarios Which Therefore Forms The Basis For This Research. The Study Started With A Review Of Relevant Literatures On How To Develop Indicators For Vulnerability Assessment, And How To Measure And Map Hazard To Flash Floods. Both Primary And Secondary Data Were Sourced To Analyzed Flood Hazard And Vulnerability Of Residents. Simple Statistics Were Employed In The Analysis To Develop Indicators Of Vulnerability.
