This definition implies that education administrators should have more interest in social media than any other group of experts. This follows the wrong use of social media by students. To stop this wrong use it will be wise if social media is incorporated into education such that the learning abilities of the student can be improved or enhance. It is based on this that the researchers would like to examine social media and student learning abilities of students will improve. More so it will break most barriers that education cannot break

It also argued in favour of how pre-primary education could be managed in Nigeria to promote effective national development in line with the national objectives contained in the national policy on education. The above issue makes the pre-primary education a compulsory one, thus, its importance is no longer debatable. It is a starting point for the child’s general development and foundation of Nigerian educational system. It concluded that if pre-primary education would achieve all its objectives, then it should be well monitored and supervised, staffed, equipped, financial and coordinated. Based on the conclusion it was then recommended that appropriate levels of government (federal, state and local) should establish and enforce educational law that will ensure that established pre-primary schools are well ruined, teachers well qualified and academic infrastructure provided.

Although the problem of school truancy is not new, yet, many school authorities or Governments have no rules on how to deal with this problem. In some arears, there is apparently no database or information, and educators are at a loss as to whether school truancy exists, and at what level if it does. There is no coordinated action against school truancy in many school districts. Consequently, each school district takes decision on how it approaches the problem. This study is designed to have a conversation directly with the student clientele and to determine what they know about school truancy, and from their perspective offer suggestion(s) or strategies that would help to reduce or prevent school truancy. Results suggest for a distinction between “school truancy” and “class truancy” in order to help school managers to adequately focus on each group rather than treating “skipping school” and “skipping classes” with the same amount of resources. The study suggests giving incentives to good students, providing adequate school bus services, insisting on “no 12th grade, no drivers license”, and putting several classes online would be good prevention strategies. The above excerpt forms the basis of the research results presented in this paper.

a lot of concern across the globe. Despite the apprehension that the teaching profession is
feminine, women are grossly underrepresented in the leadership position in this profession. This
worry prompted this study, which aimed at finding the gender gap in educational leadership,
determining the challenges to female participation in leadership and seeking strategies for
enhancing women participation in educational leadership. Three research questions guided the
study. The study was carried out in six selected tertiary institutions in Nigeria. A sample of 120
academic leaders was drawn from a population of 423 academia holding leadership positions.
Data were gathered through structured questionnaire and from personnel office of the selected
institutions. The instrument was validated and tested for reliability with Cronbach Alpha, which
gave 0.79 value. It was found that the gender gap really exists and it was wide. Many
challenges were identified and strategies for improvement were determined.

The current shock being suffered by the Nigerian economy as a result of oil mono economy and oil price fluctuation is an indication that the time to explore other sectors of the economy is now. It is near impossible to achieve sustainable economic development on a mono-economy. This is because a house standing on one pillar will surely collapse if the pillar collapses. It is the position of this paper that practical attention must be giving to economic diversification rather than political mantra. The paper advocates that this can be achieved through adequate development of human capital, particularly in technological capacity. It elected TVET as the much needed and suitable education and training programme for developing the human capital. The paper holds that TVET produces human capitals with the right competence and attitude to explore the environment, hence diversifying the economy.

After decades of practicing these TVET polices, outcomes have fallen far behind expectations. Thus, this paper looked at TVET policies and practices in Nigeria, identifying the gaps and factors that have led to the gaps. Remedies to closing the gap were proffered

Methods of doing business have also changed. Many experts now recommend that students' educational experiences be reformed to better prepare students for their future, which entails incorporating technology in the teaching process. The objective of this study is to assess the importance of technology and good instructional materials on two educational systems -distance and traditional systems. We conclude, among others, that good instructional materials should be clear, precise, and must deliver accurate message as were initially designed to do irrespective of traditional or distance educational system. We further conclude that whereas technology may have greater influence on distance education than on the traditional classroom system, however, when applied appropriately, technology will also enhance learning in the traditional classroom system. Students will comprehend faster, and it will make the teaching task less difficult. Education planners and instructors must ensure that application of technology; especially in distance education does not jeopardize the quality of learning.

The objective was to examine their ICT competence as a measure of their awareness and perceptions in order to determine their preparedness. The survey research design was adopted in this study. Six research questions were posed to guide the study and a questionnaire was developed, validated and used for data collection from a sample size of 324 academic staff. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentages). Findings revealed that ICT competence and confidence was statistically significant predictor of both e-learning adoption and e-learning readiness. The results show that majority of the academic staff funded their ICT training; majority of them numbers of them have laptops; access to internet was at their own cost and majority rated their ICT competence as tow. Inadequate ICT facilities, unreliable access, excess work load and funding were identified as major challenges to ICT mage among academic staff. Recommendations made include funding of ICT training of academic staff by the university management and making ICT training mandatory for all academic staff.

Those that are not yet officially in recession (contraction in economic activity) are faced with slowdown in the rate of growth in their Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Whether recession or slowdown, both result in higher unemployment, corporate and individual bankruptcies. Thus deliberate action is required to stem or reverse such downward spiral otherwise economic activity declines. Further, as more unemployment means lower demand and then less production and more bankruptcies in a vicious circle. In this paper, effort has been made to examine the entrepreneurship training through Technical Vocational education (TVE) as an alternative measure to mitigate the impact of the global economic crisis. The paper further suggested ways in which government could smotivate individuals towards entrepreneurship, among which are creating an enabling environment for individual to operate. Entrepreneurship training in TVE should be made compulsory in all levels of Nigeria educational system.
