Abstract

The future of the economies of various nations across the globe lies in the entrepreneurial trends and activities. Entrepreneurship in this regard is viewed from the activities of Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs). Entrepreneurial activities are also viewed as development driving tool for rural societies. However, necessary skills are needed for such desired goal to be achieved and the education provided by institutions of learning is one by which entrepreneurial expertise can be attained. Conversely, entrepreneurship education is not considered as a major subject receiving due attention in South African institutions of learning. Hence, this study explores the impact of entrepreneurship education on the performance of Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs). Review method was adopted for this study. Thus, relevant literatures were reviewed. The findings of the study amongst others show that relevant skills are needed for entrepreneurial activities to thrive in rural societies and aid the needed development. Also, entrepreneurship education tends to impact entrepreneurial activities. The study therefore recommends amongst others that entrepreneurship education should be promoted in rural based institutions of learning in South Africa taking into cognizance the needs and demands of the communities and its surroundings where the institutions are situated.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the causes of crime that exacerbate insecurity and hinder the sustainability of secondary education among teachers, parents and school administrators in Northern Nigeria. Three leading causes of insecurity challenges were examined, including school administrators' concerns about the safety of individuals and facilities, the need for well-trained and equipped security personnel to address security issues and the lack of employment opportunities for secondary school graduates in Northern Nigeria. The research questions were developed based on these causes. In order to facilitate questioning and observation of the phenomenon under investigation, a qualitative research approach grounded in the interpretative paradigm was used to collect data. A multi-stage sampling technique was adopted to purposively select three states in Northcentral, Northeastern, and Northwestern Nigeria and randomly select 36 parents, teachers, and school administrators. Unstructured in-depth interviews were conducted with the 36 participants. The interview questions were structured around the three research questions, and the responses were thematically analyzed. The study's findings highlight the importance of the government leveraging modern technology, such as electric-powered fences and CCTV cameras, to address security challenges and promote sustainable development in education. This paper suggests incorporating an "Education for Sustainability" subject into the Nigerian secondary education curriculum, in addition to the current emphasis on "security management" proposed by previous researchers.
