Abstract

This study delves into the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH)-related facets of unhygienic menstrual practices among female students enrolled in colleges of education in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study scrutinizes the availability and condition of sanitation facilities, access to clean water, disposal methods for menstrual waste, as well as the prevailing knowledge, attitudes, and socio-cultural norms related to menstruation. The research employed a survey design methodology, utilizing self-structured questionnaires distributed via Google survey to collect data from a sample of 100 female students. The questionnaire's content was validated by professionals in the field. The reliability of the instrument was assessed using Cronbach's coefficient alpha. Various statistical techniques, including frequency counts, percentages, mean, standard deviation and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were employed for data analysis. The findings revealed significant gaps in menstrual hygiene management. A majority of the female students faced challenges due to inadequate sanitation facilities and a lack of access to clean water. Unhygienic practices, including the use of unsuitable materials, were prevalent, leading to health risks such as urinary tract infections and discomfort. Additionally, social stigma and cultural taboos persisted, contributing to secrecy and misinformation surrounding menstruation. These results underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions. This study thus serves as a foundational step in advocating for comprehensive menstrual hygiene management in educational institutions and beyond.

Abstract

 Lack of integration of geographic information systems (GIS) in technology education in Nigerian secondary schools, resulting in gaps in students’ practical skills development for entrepreneurship. This is compounded by inadequate curriculum support for technology-based entrepreneurship education, leaving students unprepared for real-world business challenges. The objective of the study was to investigated the integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in technology education to enhance entrepreneurial skills among secondary school students in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study utilized a descriptive research design targeting 141 technology education teachers across secondary schools. A multistage sampling technique ensured diverse participation. Data were collected via a validated structured questionnaire assessing GIS awareness and challenges. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Findings revealed that teachers generally lacked awareness and training in GIS applications, which limited effective integration into the curriculum. The study identified challenges such as limited access to GIS software, inadequate institutional support, high costs of GIS tools, and resistance to new technologies. Despite these challenges, the potential of GIS to foster critical thinking, collaboration, and data-driven decision-making was recognized. The study concluded that enhancing GIS integration in technology education could significantly improve entrepreneurial skills among students, recommending targeted training for teachers and improved resource allocation to facilitate GIS adoption

Abstract

Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) are essential components of public health, particularly in urban areas facing rapid population growth and infrastructural challenges. Inadequate WASH services contribute significantly to the burden of disease, environmental degradation, and overall poor quality of life. The study adopted a mixed-method research design to assess integrated Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) practices in Onitsha Urban Area, Anambra State, Nigeria. Onitsha, a major commercial hub, experiences rapid urbanization and infrastructural strain. The study area’s geography, population growth, climate, geology, and economic activities were considered in evaluating WASH services. A sample of 400 residents from Federal Housing Estate was selected using Taro Yamane’s formula. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and field inspections, with instrument reliability confirmed through a pilot study. Analysis involved two-way ANOVA and Principal Component Analysis to identify key factors contributing to poor WASH conditions. Based on the findings, the demographic analysis of (400) respondents showed age distribution as follows: (17%) were 18–28, (28%) aged 29–39, (36%) aged 40–50, and (19%) above 50. Educationally, (8%) had no formal education, (20%) completed primary, (48%) had secondary, and (24%) attained tertiary education. Ethnic composition was largely Igbo at (90.15%), followed by Hausa (3%), Yoruba (1.85%), and others (5%). Household sizes showed (38%) had 1–3 children, (42%) had 4–6, (16%) had 7–9, and (4%) had more than 9. WASH practices revealed strong agreement on clean water prioritization, handwashing, and sanitation, while disagreements emerged on issues like pipe expansion and sustainable water systems. The study highlights the need for integrated policy action, community sensitization, and investment in WASH infrastructure to improve public health outcomes in Onitsha.
