Abstract

The visually impaired group remains among the most unemployed despite laws designed to facilitate employment opportunities for the disabled population. This review article presents potential strategies for overcoming barriers experienced by students with visual impairments (VIs) during their career transition. An integrative literature review was employed by the authors. The integrative literature review allows authors to produce new frameworks and perspectives on a topic from a range of existing research data and ideas in a significant manner. Results of the literature review suggest that public education, adequate transportation and mobility skills, proper assessment of the students' skill development, the acquisition of relevant social and independent-living skills, adequate training for rehabilitation service providers, adequate access to prints, collaboration among professionals, and early career education and work experience are some of the strategies that can be adopted to help students with VIs overcome most of the challenges they experience in their career transition journey. Adopting the strategies discussed in this article may lead to a successful career transition for these students. One of the implications of this paper is that visually impaired students should be able to adapt to the career environment by acquiring relevant skills and being open to opportunities. Also, specialized job training and placement might make it easier for visually impaired students to find competitive work after earning an academic degree and raise their chances of embarking on a successful career path.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to show how political discourse has influenced the introduction of free-of-charge Basic Education (FFBE) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) during the 2019-2020 school year, following President Félix Tshisekedi's election promise. This article analyses the link between political utterances on free-of-charge decision and their implementation in the provision of public services. The paper is based on an assemblage framework to analyse stakeholders in FFBE implementation. Using press articles and secondary data from official reports, we found that the obstacles in implementing FFBE may be explained by the need for a properly concise public policy about free education, the mismanagement of different stakeholders, the lack of transparency and economic constraints. The population concerned is all the stakeholders in the education system in the DCR. To arrive at our conclusion, we used the assemblage method. In DRC, the promise of FFBE faces significant challenges, notably funding shortages, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of trained teachers. The economic instability in the region hampers government investment in educational resources, often resulting in fees being imposed by schools despite official policies promoting free education. Future research could focus on innovative funding models, such as community-based initiatives or partnerships, to enhance educational delivery. Additionally, exploring the impact of digital learning tools could provide insights into bridging educational gaps, especially in remote areas where access to traditional schooling is limited.

Abstract

To improve the mental well-being of adolescents is that there is no intention to seek psychological help. This study aims to explore the relationship between public stigma, self-stigma, and the intention to seek psychological help among adolescents who are educated in Madrasas. The method used in this study is quantitative with a cross-section design. This study involved 580 participants, who were invited using convenience and snowball sampling methods. The instruments used were cultural orientation, self-public, social-network stigma, attitudes towards seeking help, intention to seek counseling, and demographic questions. The main findings suggest that adolescents who experience high levels of public stigma tend to have higher levels of self-stigma, which further influences their intention to seek help (psychologically). In addition, cultural orientation also shapes perceptions and attitudes toward seeking counseling help. The findings of this study highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions to reduce public stigma against mental health problems, which can be provided by educational institutions, mental health organizations, as well as governments to create an environment that supports the mental well-being of adolescents.

Abstract

This paper reviewed some project initiatives on inclusive and equitable use of artificial intelligence (Al) in education with a view of guiding education policy-makers and stakeholders in the development of similar project initiatives in Nigeria. The gap in extant literature on policy direction for the development of inclusive and equitable use of Al in education in Nigeria necessitated the paper. It began with a discussion of the general overview of Al and the unprecedented revolution it has created in the education delivery. It further discussed the advantages of the Al application in education as well as the challenges and controversies associated with it particularly the generative Al (GenAl) systems which are rapidly spreading in the education sector. It also discussed UNESCO’s recommendations of the appropriate use of GenAl in education to genuinely benefit and empower teachers, learners and researchers. It advocated the necessity of Nigerian government to develop a policy framework for the responsible use of GenAl in education and research. Most importantly, the paper identified some large-scale project initiatives on inclusive and equitable use of Al in education and discussed the lessons derivable from the project initiatives for policy direction in the development of similar projects in Nigeria. The paper recommended, among others, special funding on the development of inclusive and equitable Al apps in the education budgetary allocation and private sector partnership/collaboration in funding in the development of such Al apps.
