One research question guided the study while one null hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The population of the study consisted of 619 business education students in the three universities offering the programme. The entire population was used for the study. A structured questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach's alpha and it yielded an overall coefficient of 0.81. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyse data to answer the research question and determine the cohesiveness or otherwise of respondents' mean rating. ttest was used to test the null hypothesis. The findings of the study revealed that the students perceive internship as a model for the development of leadership skills. However, the result shows that male and female business education students differ significantly in their mean ratings regarding how they perceive the development of leadership skills in internship. Based on the finding, it was concluded that business education students perceive internship as a model that will increase leadership skill development. Consequently, it was recommended among others that there is need for a structured leadership skill acquisition programme for business education students.

This necessitated the "survey of corruption and falling standard of education in tertiary institutions in Rivers and Anambra States with impact on Nigeria." Two research questions and hypotheses guided the study. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. From the population of 2,500 lecturers, a sample size of 333 was drawn using the Krechie and Morgan Table of 1979. A four-point response options questionnaire validated by three experts was used. The instrument's reliability was established using Cronbach's alpha which yielded alpha coefficients of 0.84 and 0.80. Mean was used to answer the research questions, while one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test were used to test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 significance level. Findings and others revealed that the impact of corruption practiced in tertiary institutions in Rivers and Anambra states on Nigeria was very high. Therefore, among other things, it was recommended that the fight against corruption in Nigeria's education system be reinvigorated by (ICPC) and (EFCC).

Education is also capable of exposing students to their real potential, leading them to become better persons and widening their views in their areas of specialization. It broadens the intellectual powers of the individual within a narrow specialization and also gives a perspective of the world around them (Brahmkshatriy, 2021). Different countries restructured their educational curricula to provide students with an education capable of adequately preparing them to face real-life situations. Educationalists and policymakers in the universities are recently paying closer attention to the concept of holistic education systems that focus on making graduates competent and versatile. Similarly, the challenges of modern societies demand a type of education that can equip learners with knowledge that enables them to be conversant with current trends in society and functional upon graduation. Nigeria's education system falls under three categories, namely: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Colleges of education, polytechnics, monotechnics, professional institutions, and universities fall under the tertiary level of education. Universities have a broad curriculum in different programmes of study related to the day-today educational, social, and economic needs of society. Nigerian universities run different programmes, including business education, with options in accounting education, marketing education, and office technology and management (OTM) education. The main objectives of accounting education are to produce accounting teachers for secondary schools and allow students to expand their networks and insights toward becoming professional accountants. Accounting education is a vocational training that is expected to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become successful accounting professionals (Ulker & Kendirli, 2015). Accounting education can be considered as experience or practice in learning to learn and as part of education for business. According to Uçma and

Two research questions guided the study while two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The population of the study consisted of 353 accounting education students in universities in SouthEast , Nigeria. The entire population was used for the study. A structured questionnaire titled AESPOIQ and AESEOIQ was the instrument used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was established using Split half and the scores were correlated using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and it yielded an overall coefficient index of 0.81. Data collected for the study were analysed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions and t-test was used to test the null hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that the students perceive internship as a model for general knowledge improvement before their placement and that their expectations concerning general knowledge improvement were not met after the internship. The study showed that there was no significant difference in the mean ratings of male and female accounting education students regarding their perception on general knowledge improvement before their internship placement. However, the results showed that male and female accounting education students differ significantly in their mean ratings regarding their expectations on general knowledge improvement after their internship. Based on the findings, it was concluded that accounting education students perceive internship as a model that will increase general knowledge improvement. Similarly, they disagreed with their expectations towards their general knowledge improvement after the internship. Consequently, it was recommended among others that there should be adequate supervision of interns by the supervisors and there should be proper coordination of interns and supervisors by the SIWES unit of various universities in the SouthEast. Finally, no course or courses should be included in the universities curriculum during internship (SIWES) programme.

The study was quasi-experimental research which specifically used the pre-test and post-test nonequivalent control group design. The population of the study was 719 business education students in universities in Anambra State and the sample size was 123 business education students drawn from 2 universities. Financial Accounting Achievement Test (FAAT) developed by the researcher using 300L past questions between 2020 to 2022 was used as research instrument. FAAT was administered to business education students in both experimental and control groups. Test-retest method was used to establish the reliability of the instrument and data were analysed with Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient which yielded 0.86. Mean was used to answer the research questions while analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. The SPSS version 21.0 was used for analysis. Findings revealed that using problem-solving and jigsaw instructional mode enhances business education students' academic achievement in financial accounting when compared with lecture teaching method. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher concluded that problemsolving and jigsaw instructional mode has the capacity of improving business education academic achievement in financial accounting. It was therefore recommended among others, that problem-solving and jigsaw instructional mode should be formally adopted by business education teachers in universities for teaching financial accounting and other skill-based subjects to improve academic achievement of business education students.

Two research questions guided the study while two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The population of the study consisted of 353 accounting education students in universities in SouthEast , Nigeria. The entire population was used for the study. A structured questionnaire titled AESPOIQ and AESEOIQ was the instrument used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was established using Split half and the scores were correlated using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and it yielded an overall coefficient index of 0.81. Data collected for the study were analysed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions and t-test was used to test the null hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that the students perceive internship as a model for general knowledge improvement before their placement and that their expectations concerning general knowledge improvement were not met after the internship. The study showed that there was no significant difference in the mean ratings of male and female accounting education students regarding their perception on general knowledge improvement before their internship placement. However, the results showed that male and female accounting education students differ significantly in their mean ratings regarding their expectations on general knowledge improvement after their internship. Based on the findings, it was concluded that accounting education students perceive internship as a model that will increase general knowledge improvement. Similarly, they disagreed with their expectations towards their general knowledge improvement after the internship. Consequently, it was recommended among others that there should be adequate supervision of interns by the supervisors and there should be proper coordination of interns and supervisors by the SIWES unit of various universities in the SouthEast. Finally, no course or courses should be included in the universities curriculum during internship (SIWES) programme.
