Abstract

This study examined the Autotronics Servicing Skills needs among Roadside Mechanics and Master Trainers using auto scan tools. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The study was carried out in 9 local government areas of Kano State. The study population was 90 Road Side Mechanics, and Masters Trainers selected through a simple random sampling technique. The whole population was used for the study. A structured questionnaire validated by three experts from the Department of Technology Education, Modibbo Adama University, Yola and trial tested for internal consistency in the Ringim local government area of Jigawa State was used. The instrument yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.82. The instrument structured on 5 points Likert scale was used to elicit information on using the Onboard diagnostic (OBD2) and Launch code reader professional 123 (CRP123) for diagnosing vehicle systems faults. Data collected were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions. Z-test statistics were used to test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 significance level. The study found out that Roadside Mechanics need autotronics servicing skills in the use of OBD2 and CRP123 for diagnosing and fixing problems in the engine, transmission, airbag (supplemental restraint system SRS), anti-lock braking system (ABS), and emission-related systems. The study recommended that ASS acquisition centres should be established in Kano State by organizations like the Ministries of Labour, the National Directorate for Employment (NDE), the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and so on to enable Roadside Mechanics and other people who wish to learn the skills to acquire the required training to meet up with the challenges ever increasing in the motor vehicle technology.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly reshaped global education systems, not only disrupting learning processes but also intensifying long-standing concerns regarding student mental health and well-being. This article offers an opinion-based scholarly analysis supported by contemporary literature to critically examine the escalating mental health challenges faced by students in the post-pandemic era. Key issues include the surge in anxiety and depression, heightened academic pressure, digital overload, and the growing prevalence of bullying and cyberbullying. Drawing upon global evidence, this paper argues that educational systems have been insufficiently responsive to the psychosocial dimensions of learning, particularly in contexts where stigma and limited institutional support persist. Using a conceptual framework that integrates individual, pedagogical, digital, and systemic factors, this article synthesizes empirical findings and policy discourses to illuminate structural gaps in current educational practices. The results and discussion are organized into three thematic sub-sections addressing post-pandemic mental health trends, digitalization-related stressors, and systemic barriers to student well-being support. The paper concludes by advocating for a paradigm shift toward holistic, inclusive, and culturally responsive mental health strategies within education, emphasizing the urgency of embedding psychosocial well-being as a core educational priority rather than a peripheral concern.
