The purpose of this research is to analyze and evaluate the Teacher Competency Test (TCT) implementation in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. In addition, this research analyzed the perspectives of instructors, officer representatives, and academics on the TCT Objective and Implementation, as well as the Program's Effectiveness and Efficiency. This research used a qualitative approach and in-depth interviews. The results imply that the current TCT does not accurately reflect teachers' real-world proficiency owing to teachers' lack of computer literacy, since they were evaluated using a computer-based testing. However, the outcomes of this evaluation are also valuable for government decision-making on the mapping of teachers' requirements and future development. Second, the development of TCT program management and the quantity of financing for teacher training must be enhanced to assure the program's future viability. This research concludes by recommending a strategic shift to enhance student learning: mapping teachers' competency and education and the Sustainable Teachers Training and Development Program. Proper and ongoing professional development would not only assist instructors in supporting successful learning, but it would also enable experienced teachers to work with novice teachers and act as mentors for them, therefore enhancing classroom learning circumstances.

Education for sustainable development (ESD) emphasizes integration of values inherent in all curricular to encourage changes in behavior that allows a just society for all. The ESD pedagogy initiated by UNESCO highlights a shift towards active participation and experiential learning methods which engage learners in critical thinking and ability to act responsively for informed citizenship. Integrating sustainable development pedagogies, which include problem-based, inquiry-based and reflective learning in social studies curriculum, encourages creativity, critical thinking and respect for cultural diversity and creation of a sustainable society. Anchored on constructivism theory, the study used data from both primary and secondary sources on influence of ESD through social studies curriculum. Secondary data was sourced mainly from the internet, focusing on the work of UNESCO on education for sustainable development. Literature reviewed established that social studies curriculum, which is entrenched in values of humanity provides opportunities for lifelong learning and sustainable development. The ESD pedagogies facilitate learning of knowledge, promotes skills, perspectives and values that sustainable societies require for spurring the 21st Century and beyond. The systematic review recommends that teaching and learning of social studies should incorporate appropriate pedagogies for sustainable development for learners to progress to adult life as responsible and functional citizens for collective harmony.

Divergent viewpoints about COVID-19 health guidelines continue to impact the collective effort to reduce COVID-19 transmission. Thus, this descriptive-correlational study was conducted to determine if there is a significant relationship between the level of willingness to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and the attitude toward COVID-19 among sixty randomly selected Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences students of the University of San Carlos - South Campus in Cebu City, Philippines. Online data collection was done through two adapted and reliable Likert-type survey questionnaires. The findings indicated that the degree of willingness to be vaccinated was high (x = 3.79, SD = .98), while the level of attitude toward COVID-19 was very high (x = 4.36, SD = .75). Moreover, the correlation between the two variables was found to be significant, r(58) = 0.48, p = .000104, p < .05 at = .05. Therefore, the null hypothesis of no significant relationship was rejected, and the researchers found that there is a weakly positive correlation (r =.48) between the levels of willingness to be vaccinated and the students' attitude regarding COVID-19. This result indicates that their attitude toward COVID-19 improves in proportion to their vaccination willingness. This also suggests that adolescents who understand authorized COVID-19 vaccination guidelines are more eager to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The researchers recommend that more initiatives be developed to boost the public's desire and attitude toward COVID-19 immunization, and that additional research be conducted to validate results and examine trends in other communities.

Listening to what children say expand upon language, building vocabulary and background knowledge in social, political and economic world for effective communication. Article 12 of the CRC 1989 stresses the right to participation in decision-making processes, which influence choices taken by children for empowering sense of belonging and community cohesion. However, too often children are denied opportunities for participation in decision-making and to exercise responsibility resulting to under democracy situations. In addition, there is limited understanding of children’s right to participate in matters affecting them in developing countries especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. The study sought to determine children’s; perceptions, preferences, interests, views and feelings concerning participation in pre-primary school learning environments in Kenya. This was an exploratory case study, which relied on data sampled from pre-primary school children and teachers in selected schools in Kenya using probability and simple random sampling techniques. Anchored on recognition theory, the study determined that participation of children is scanty and in instances where it occurs, only at the implementation stage rather than the planning design. The study recommended the need for collaboration and sharing information among children, teachers, communities and government towards realization of children’s perception to what they say and in decision making.

Research has shown that Physical education (PE) and sports programmes, currently referred to as Movement activities in the lower primary Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya, impacts on the physical, mental, social and emotional growth of individuals. The programmes produce individuals who are competent, confident and endowed with knowledge, skills and attitudes for lifelong physical activity. To some extent, the programmes contribute to societal development, which leads to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The aim of the current analysis was to find the extent to which movement activities in CBC is geared towards the achievement of the SDGs using Posner’s curriculum analysis framework. Research findings show that the curriculum is committed to achieving the SDGs for instance, good health and quality education. Maintaining the commitment and determination in implementing the movement activities curriculum will go a long way in actualizing the SDGs in Kenya.
