Abstract

This study investigates the role of technology in school resource management in public elementary schools in Madagascar. The study adopts a qualitative research methodology, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation as primary data collection techniques. The key informants for this study are 10 school principals from various public elementary schools across Madagascar, selected based on their experience and administrative roles. The findings of this study highlight three critical aspects: first, technology plays a significant role in enhancing school management efficiency, allowing for better planning, communication, and monitoring of school resources. Second, it contributes to the improvement of school archives, with digital records providing easy access, security, and long-term preservation of important school documents. Finally, the study reveals several challenges to technology adoption, including limited digital literacy among staff, inadequate infrastructure, and financial constraints that hinder the full integration of technology in resource management. The study concludes by recommending targeted training programs for school staff, enhanced funding for technological infrastructure, and the development of a clear digital resource management policy tailored to the needs of public elementary schools in Madagascar.

Abstract

This study explores key dimensions of governance in developing countries, with a focus on the factors that influence government effectiveness, institutional integrity, and public accountability. Using a qualitative approach methodology, the study uses documentation analysis as its primary method, drawing on secondary data from reputable sources such as World Bank reports, government documents, and publications by international organizations. The findings highlight persistent challenges faced by developing nations, including weak institutions, limited civic participation, inefficient service delivery, inconsistent regulatory practices, and systemic corruption. Despite numerous reform efforts, progress has often been hindered by lack of political will, inadequate resources, and entrenched power structures. However, the study also identifies examples of best practices and emerging innovations such as digital governance tools and community-based accountability mechanisms that offer potential pathways for improvement. By analyzing these governance dimensions, the study provides a nuanced understanding of the structural and contextual factors that influence governance effectiveness in developing contexts, offering insights for policymakers, development partners, and scholars seeking to promote more inclusive and accountable governance systems.

Abstract

This study explores bullying prevention and intervention strategies in five public and private elementary schools in Sakaraha, Madagascar. Using a qualitative descriptive research design, the study employed three data collection methods: observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and school principals, and documentary analysis of school records and policies. The primary aim was to investigate the prevalence and types of bullying, the awareness of bullying among students and staff, and the effectiveness of current prevention programs. Findings revealed that bullying, particularly verbal and social exclusion, is prevalent during unstructured times such as recess and transitions between classes. While teachers and principals expressed awareness of bullying issues, their responses varied in consistency and effectiveness, with some schools having more active prevention measures than others. School policies on bullying were generally available but lacked detailed, practical guidelines for addressing the issue. Triangulation of data from the three sources confirmed the need for more consistent implementation of anti-bullying practices, clearer communication of policies, and greater student involvement in prevention efforts. The study highlights the importance of a cohesive, school-wide approach to bullying prevention, emphasizing the need for teacher training, student empowerment, and ongoing evaluation of intervention outcomes.

Abstract

Tourism has become an important sector in Madagascar, with growing potential to generate income, create jobs, and foster international exchange. However, its contribution to the country's education system remains underexplored. This study investigates the ways in which tourism interacts with schools and universities, focusing on its impact on infrastructure, teacher capacity, student opportunities, and community perceptions. A qualitative research design is employed, combining direct observation and semi-structured interviews with 30 purposively selected informants, including school directors, teachers, university lecturers, students, parents, tourism operators, and local leaders. Data are analyzed thematically to identify key patterns and cross-validated through triangulation to ensure credibility. Findings reveal that tourism's influence on education in Madagascar is still modest and uneven. Some schools located near tourist destinations benefit from occasional donations or NGO-led projects, but most institutions lack systematic support. Teachers have limited access to training in foreign languages ​​or hospitality skills, which constrains their ability to prepare students for careers linked to tourism. Opportunities for students and universities remain narrow, as internships, vocational pathways, and collaborations with businesses are not yet well developed. Communities recognize tourism's potential to support education but express concern that benefits are concentrated in specific hubs, leaving many rural schools excluded. The study underscores the need for stronger linkages between tourism and education through targeted teacher training, structured internship programs, and equitable revenue-sharing mechanisms. By highlighting both opportunities and gaps, the research provides insights that can guide policymakers, educational institutions, and tourism stakeholders in designing more inclusive strategies. Ultimately, strengthening the connection between tourism and education can enhance human capital, promote equitable development, and contribute to Madagascar's long-term socio-economic progress.

Abstract

Southern Madagascar has become a frontline of climate vulnerability, where recurring droughts, erratic rainfall, and land degradation have exacerbated chronic food insecurity. This qualitative study explores how climate change affects rural communities in the Androy and Anosy regions and investigates the local adaptive strategies developed in response to environmental and socio-economic stressors. Using an interpretive phenomenological approach, the study captures the lived experiences of affected populations through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. A total of 24 informants were selected using purposive sampling, including smallholder farmers, female-headed households, local community leaders, NGO workers, and agricultural extension officers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis of regional adaptation plans and NGO reports. The findings reveal that climate-induced food insecurity is not merely an ecological crisis but a deeply social issue influenced by poverty, gender roles, weak institutional support, and cultural land practices. Informants reported using a combination of traditional coping mechanisms such as food rationing, seasonal migration, and seed diversification and externally supported interventions such as cash-for-work programs and drought-resilient crops. However, many of these strategies remain short-term, reactive, and unequally accessible. This study concludes that while community resilience is evident, structural barriers persist in achieving long-term adaptation. Policy implications include the need for localized climate adaptation policies, strengthened agricultural extension services, and the inclusion of indigenous knowledge in planning processes. By centering voices from the most affected regions, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the human dimensions of climate vulnerability in Madagascar.
