That is why issues bordering on inequality and inequity are often addressed, as well as all forms of discrimination against women. In Nigeria, gender imbalance particularly dominance of men is very well reflected in academic employment in the tertiary institutions. The study sought to find out the gender composition of academic staff in the tertiary institutions in Ekiti State, Nigeria. It also investigated the gender composition of academic staff in the institutions based on their designation. The ex post-facto research design was used, the population for the study comprised of all academic staff of the tertiary institutions. The main source of data collection was from the planning and statistics department and the establishment office of the institutions. Frequency counts and percentage scores were used to analyse the data. The result revealed that there was gross inequality in the labour participation of women in academics in the tertiary institutions in the state. The College of Education employed the highest number of females with 27.0%. Followed by the University with 18.3% and the Polytechnic with 12.8%. The percentage of women in the upper echelon in the institutions was very low and representation of women at the academic management position is poor. It was recommended among others that more women should be encouraged to pursue Postgraduate studies so as to be qualified for lectureship appointments in tertiary institutions and that Spouse should support and encourage their wives to take up academic job.

It further investigated the extent to which the use of OER could ensure quality in education. A descriptive research design was used for the study. Five Research questions were raised and answered. All the research questions were subjected to descriptive analysis. The findings showed that: the level of awareness of undergraduates on the availability and usage of OER was moderate. The undergraduates were faced with series of challenges on the utilization of OER, such as erratic electricity supply, lack of familiarity with OER websites, university not internet connected, ignorance of OER availability. It was revealed that usage of OER enhanced sharing of common knowledge, course structure, access to quality learning materials and use of real instructional materials online. It was however revealed that there were lots of benefits of OER to undergraduates that include sharing world learning resources and students capacity building. It was recommended that universities as a matter of policy and urgency to have expressed connection to internet, give orientation to students on the use of OER, encourage students on the use of OER by attaching their learning to online resources.

Social-emotional learning is the development of knowledge, values, attitudes, and mindsets that produce positive outcomes in children both in and out of school (Steed et al., 2021).
