Abstract

Purpose: One of the important elements in the implementation of education is an effort to improve the quality of learning. Until now, the implementation of learning in vocational schools still follows a non-block system. This condition results in the practice carried out by students not achieving optimal completion, so that the required standard competencies are not met. One solution is to implement a block learning system including the effectiveness of time, tools, and location. This type of research is quantitative with a population of class X students of the office management and business service expertise program at SMKS YPM 3 Taman. The results of the study found that regarding learning using the block system, many students stated that this system was not boring. In our study on the implementation of the block system, they argued that the block system helps students focus more on learning because it uses a longer time. Methodology/Approach: This study adopts a quantitative approach Findings: In our study on the implementation of the block system, many students stated that this system is not boring. They argued that the block system helps students focus more on learning because it uses a longer time. Research limitations/implications: The limitation of this study is that the population focus was only taken from 1 school. Practical implications: For further research, it is hoped that several populations from various new schools that are implementing the block system can be used.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the effectiveness of operating models for SMMEs in the context of economic stimulation and growth. As the development of SMMEs is essential for their sustainability and expansion, enhancing and refining their operating models becomes crucial. Such improvements can lead to more efficient and profitable businesses that can thrive in the mainstream economy. Methodology: By evaluating the effectiveness of these models, this research addresses existing gaps in the literature concerning their impact on SMMEs. To investigate the effectiveness of operating models for SMMEs, a comprehensive literature review was conducted. Findings: The study reveals that SMMEs make significant contributions to the South African economy by operating in neglected markets, serving local communities, and stimulating economic growth. By adopting effective operating models, SMMEs can optimize resource utilization, improve efficiency, and make informed decisions. Furthermore, integrating principles of quality, ethical practices, and environmental sustainability within the operating model enables SMMEs to build trust, preserve natural resources, and enhance resilience. In conclusion, by recognizing the importance of operating models and taking concerted efforts to develop and implement them, countries can empower SMMEs to fulfil their potential as drivers of economic development and social progress in the country.

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze gender issues in development in Ethiopia, with a particular focus on the forest sector. This study seeks to identify the challenges and barriers to gender equality across key sectors such as education, employment, health, and political representation, while also assessing the government of Ethiopia's policies and legal frameworks related to gender. Methodology: The methodology employed in this study involves both quantitative and qualitative approaches, utilizing a literature review and secondary data analysis. Findings: Key findings indicate that, although Ethiopia has made significant progress in achieving gender equality, such as increased girls' enrollment in primary education, improved maternal health, and high political representation of women, there are still considerable disparities, particularly in the forest sector. Women face limitations in accessing forest resources and decision-making processes, despite their critical role in forest management. Additionally, the unpaid care work burden and limited access to education result in women being overrepresented in low-paid domestic work and less involved in politics and public life. Gender-blind policies remain a significant barrier to women's empowerment in the forest sector. Originality/value: This paper is original Paper type: a Research Paper
