AI-DRIVEN TOOLS IN OPTIMIZING SCHOOL TIMETABLING AS A CORRELATE TO TEACHER ASSIGNMENT WHILE ADDRESSING POTENTIAL BIASES IN FEDERAL UNIVERSITIES IN THE SOUTHEAST NIGERIA
type: item
description: Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven tools are increasingly being adopted to optimize school timetabling, offering solutions to complex scheduling challenges in educational institutions. In federal universities located in Southeast Nigeria, these tools present a promising avenue for enhancing the efficiency of teacher assignment and course allocation. AI timetabling systems utilize algorithms to balance multiple constraints—such as course requirements, faculty availability, and room capacity—while minimizing scheduling conflicts. However, the implementation of such systems in the Southeast region must contend with contextual challenges, including infrastructural limitations, human resource deficits, and cultural resistance to automation. This study explores the correlation between AI-optimized timetabling and equitable teacher assignment, emphasizing the need to address potential biases embedded in algorithmic decision-making. Biases may arise from historical data patterns, unequal resource distribution, or opaque system logic, potentially leading to unfair workload distribution or marginalization of certain departments. By incorporating fairness constraints and stakeholder input, AI systems can be tailored to reflect local values and institutional goals. The study advocates for localized implementation strategies that include pilot testing, capacity building, and participatory design. It also highlights the importance of transparency and explainability in AI systems to foster trust among faculty and administrators. Ultimately, the integration of AI in timetabling within Southeast Nigerian federal universities must be context-sensitive, ethically grounded, and inclusive to ensure both operational efficiency and fairness in teacher assignment.

CUTANEOUS ASPERGILLOSIS AND CANDIDIASIS ASSOCIATED WITH RICE FARMING IN PARTS OF EBONYI STATE, NIGERIA
type: item
description: Cutaneous aspergillosis and candidiasis associated with agricultural practices in Nigeria have a major health impact on rice farmers and other associated people. This leads to reduced productivity through decreased human resources, famine and places an additional burden on health care requirements, hence, the study on the distribution of cutaneous aspergillosis and candidiasis among rice farmers in Ebonyi State. A total of 2130 rice farmers were randomly selected and screened for cutaneous fungal infections. Hair fragments, skin and nail scrapings were collected using sterile scissors and scalpels from 182 rice farmers that presented with lesions suggestive of the infection. The samples were examined by direct microscopy using 5% potassium hydroxide (KOH) and cultured on Sabouraud dextrose agar supplemented with 0.05mg/ml chloramphenicol and incubated at 28°C ± 2°C for 2 days. The fungal isolates were identified by macroscopic and microscopic methods, and confirmed by molecular analysis. Demographic data and factors influencing the infection were obtained through questionnaires and analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at p<0.05 significant level with SPSS version 22. A total of 143 fungal isolates were recovered and included Aspergillus flavus 64 (44.76%), A. tamarii 41 (28.67%), A. nomius 30 (20.98%) and Candida albicans 8 (5.59%). Age, gender, educational status and family size of the farmers and their interactions with domestic animals/pets influenced the distribution of the fungal species. Out of the 182 rice farmers screened, 16-26 years age-group [71 (39.01%)] were most infected with the infection, followed by 27-37 years age-group [39 (21.43%)] and a decline between the age-group 49-59 years [15 (8.24%)]. The females were more infected 144 (79.12%) than the males 38 (20.88%). The infection among the females was found to be significant (P<0.05). In-depth knowledge of the etiologic agents of the infections and potential risk factors associated with rice …

ANALYZING THE INFLUENCE OF EDUCATIONAL POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS ON TEACHERS’ MENTAL HEALTH, STRESS LEVELS, AND ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT IN COLLEGES OF EDUCATION IN ENUGU STATE
type: item
description: This study critically examines the influence of educational policy and administrative decisions on teachers’ mental health, stress levels, and academic engagement within Colleges of Education in Enugu State, Nigeria. With increasing demands placed on educators, the intersection of policy frameworks and institutional leadership has become a pivotal factor in shaping the professional well-being and performance of teachers. The research explores how policy neglect of mental health, frequent curriculum changes without adequate training, and inequitable workload distribution contribute to heightened stress and diminished academic engagement. It also investigates the role of administrative practices—particularly leadership styles and participatory governance—in either exacerbating or alleviating these challenges. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study gathers data through surveys, interviews, and institutional records to assess the psychological and professional impact of current educational structures. Findings reveal that teachers operating under inclusive leadership models and supported by mental health initiatives, such as counseling units and peer wellness programs, report lower stress levels and higher engagement. Conversely, rigid administrative systems and policy gaps correlate with burnout and disengagement. The study concludes by recommending policy reforms that integrate mental health into educational planning, alongside administrative improvements that foster equity and collaboration. These measures are essential for cultivating a resilient, motivated teaching workforce capable of driving quality education in Enugu State and beyond.

SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS AS PREDICTORS OF CAREER DECISION MAKING AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ANAMBRA STATE
type: item
description: This study investigated the predictive value of socio-psychological factors: peer group attachment and personality traits, on career decision-making among secondary school students in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study was guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significant. The study adopted correlational research design. Using Taro Yamane a sample of 339 students were drawn from public secondary schools, data was collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using simple and multiple regression analyses. Findings revealed that Peer group exhibited a weaker positive predictive value (β = 0.28) but was still significant. Among personality traits, extraversion (β = 0.23) and openness (β = 0.18) showed weak positive contributions, while neuroticism (β = 0.004) was not a significant predictor. The implications of these findings suggest the need for school-based interventions, such as career counseling, self-efficacy-building activities, and enhanced parental engagement to strengthen students’ career decision-making confidence. Recommendations include the engagement of guidance counselors, parental involvement programs, and personality development activities within the school curriculum.

REIMAGINING MORALITY: NIETZSCHE’S TRANSFORMATIVE ETHICAL VISION
type: item
description: Friedrich Nietzsche’s moral philosophy, though widely critiqued for its perceived relativism, nihilism, and elitism, has been reinterpreted by many scholars as a transformative vision for ethical life. Rather than rejecting morality outright, Nietzsche challenges traditional moral systems rooted in religious dogma and universal truths, advocating instead for a dynamic revaluation of values. His concepts of master morality, slave morality, and the Übermensch emphasize strength, creativity, and self-overcoming as ethical ideals. Critics argue that Nietzsche’s denial of objective morality leads to ethical chaos and exclusion, yet thinkers like Walter Kaufmann, Alexander Nehamas, and Gilles Deleuze have reframed his philosophy as a call to authenticity, pluralism, and existential responsibility. Kaufmann portrays Nietzsche as a life-affirming moral innovator, while Nehamas interprets his ethics as an aesthetic project of self-creation. Deleuze emphasizes Nietzsche’s celebration of difference and transformation. These reinterpretations position Nietzsche not as a destroyer of values but as a catalyst for ethical renewal. In a contemporary context marked by moral uncertainty and cultural pluralism, Nietzsche’s philosophy offers a compelling framework for reimagining morality beyond conformity and dogma. His legacy invites individuals to craft meaningful lives through critical reflection, creative expression, and courageous engagement with ethical complexity.

PERCEIVED IMPACT OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES ON TEACHERS' PRACTICE IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN ANAMBRA STATE.
type: item
description: This study examined the perceived impact of professional learning communities on teachers’ practice in secondary schools in Anambra State. The study was guided by three research questions and three hypotheses. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. The population of the study comprised 7248 teachers in the 268 public secondary schools in Anambra State. The sample size for the study was 362 teachers. Proportionate sampling technique was used to determine the sample size. This sampling technique was used to select 5% of the population as the sample size. The instrument used for data collection was a self-structured questionnaire. The instrument was subjected to trial test with 20 teachers in public secondary schools in Enugu State. Cronbach Alpha was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument. The instrument yielded an average reliability coefficient of 0.803. The researcher was able to administer 322(91.7%) and retrieved 311 correctly filled copies of the questionnaire which is 85.9% return rate. Mean ratings and standard deviation were used to analyze the questionnaire items. One sample T-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study found that through peer coaching, teachers have improved instructional delivery, received constructive feedback, and adopted new teaching strategies, while also managing classroom challenges more effectively. Subject-based clusters have strengthened content knowledge, encouraged collaboration, and supported alignment with curriculum trends. Lesson study teams have enhanced lesson planning, reflective practice, and identification of student learning needs.

EFFECTIVENESS OF PROJECT-BASED LEARNING ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT IN HIGHER INSTITUTIONS IN ANAMBRA STATE.
type: item
description: The study examined the effectiveness of project-based learning on students’ academic engagement in higher institutions in Anambra State. The study was guided by three research questions and three hypotheses. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. Population of the study comprised 15,552 students. The sample for the study was 778 students. Stratified random sampling technique was used for sample size selection. The instrument used for data collection was a self-structured questionnaire. Reliability of the instrument was determined by a means of trial test. In this case the same questionnaire was administered to 20 students from Enugu State. Cronbach Alpha was used to test the reliability of instrument. The Cronbach Alpha coefficients of the three clusters were 0.804, 0.780 and 0.803. These scores were high enough and considered reliable for the study. Face-to-face method of collection was used in collecting data from the respondents. Mean ratings and standard deviation were used to analyze the research questions. One sample T-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study found that inquiry-based, challenge-based and role-playing-based projects serve as dynamic and student-centered pedagogical approaches that significantly enhance academic engagement in higher institutions. These methods promote deeper understanding of course content, stimulate curiosity and foster critical thinking, collaboration and independent learning. Inquiry-based projects encourage learners to ask questions, investigate concepts and take ownership of knowledge acquisition, while challenge-based learning connects academic content to real-life problems, thereby increasing motivation and application of skills. Similarly, role-playing projects enrich classroom interaction by making abstract concepts relatable and by improving communication and confidence. Collectively, these active learning strategies not only drive student participation but a…

DATA-DRIVEN DECISION-MAKING IN HIGHER EDUCATION GOVERNANCE
type: item
description: This study investigated the role of Data-Driven Decision-Making (DDDM) in enhancing governance outcomes in public and private universities in South Eastern Nigeria. The focus was on institutional policy development, student success initiatives, and financial sustainability, while addressing privacy and implementation challenges. Guided by three research questions and three hypotheses, the study adopted a mixed-methods design involving 300 participants—comprising administrators, faculty, and IT staff—from 10 universities (5 public and 5 private) selected via stratified random sampling. A 30-item structured questionnaire and an interview guide with open-ended questions were used for data collection. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Findings revealed that DDDM significantly improves institutional policy formulation by promoting transparency, responsiveness, and data-aligned strategies. It enhances student success through predictive analytics, curriculum adaptations, and intervention programs. Financial sustainability is also strengthened through data-informed budgeting, monitoring, and grant strategies. All three null hypotheses were rejected, showing statistically significant relationships between data analytics and each governance domain. Thematic analysis of interview data further validated these results and revealed implementation barriers such as infrastructure gaps, resistance to change, and data privacy concerns. The study concluded that effective DDDM integration can transform governance systems across Nigerian universities. It recommends investment in analytics infrastructure, training for stakeholders, and the establishment of data governance units. The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of DDDM by validating the Data-Driven Leadership Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) within the Nigerian higher education context. Thes…

EQUITY-FOCUSED RESOURCE ALLOCATION MODELS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
type: item
description: The study investigated the effectiveness of equity-focused resource allocation models in reducing educational disparities across diverse student populations in Nigerian public schools. The study was guided by four research questions and three hypotheses. A concurrent embedded mixed-methods design was adopted. The population of the study comprised 9,324 public secondary school stakeholders in six states across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. A stratified multistage sampling technique was used to draw 540 respondents, including school administrators, teachers, education board officials, and budget officers. The instruments for data collection were a structured questionnaire titled "Resource Allocation Equity Survey" (RAES), interview guides, and documentary analysis checklists. The instruments were face-validated by experts in education economics, policy, and evaluation. Reliability was established through a pilot test using Cronbach’s alpha, yielding a coefficient of 0.88. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaire administration and analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (t-tests and ANOVA). Qualitative data from interviews and case studies were analyzed thematically. Findings revealed that while Nigeria has adopted funding formulas intended to reduce disparities, their implementation suffers from inconsistencies and political interference. Disparities persist across geopolitical zones, urban-rural divides, and gender categories. The study concludes that existing models do not adequately serve equity objectives. It recommends a national realignment of funding formulas using equity weights, transparency frameworks, and performance-based disbursements. The implications include the need for data-driven, context-sensitive planning in educational financing. One major limitation was the exclusion of private schools, and a suggestion for future research is to conduct a comparative analysis between p…

ASSESSMENT OF SCHOOL MANAGERS' IMPLEMENTATION OF ETHICAL AND VALUES EDUCATION IN BASIC SCHOOLS IN IMO STATE, FOR SUSTAINABLE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
type: item
description: This study empirically investigates the implementation of ethical and values education by school managers in basic schools in Imo state for sustainable national development in Nigeria. The aim of the study was to ascertain the level at which head-teachers implement ethical and value education that will lay the positive foundation to guide the pupils, in order to become useful citizens in adulthood. The general outlook shows a decadence of integrity, a corrupt and negatively bred crop of a nation that depicts a generally poor upbringing, which seems to start from the basic schooling stage. There is therefore the need to examine the basic school features. Two research questions were posed. The descriptive survey research design was adopted. A population of 1,380 pupils were used while a sample of 138 was drawn. The rating scales were used for data collection while the mean and standard deviation were used for data analyses. Findings revealed among others that head-teachers do not highly implement ethical education at the basic schools. It was therefore recommended among other that the Government should make efforts to revive the ethical education curriculum.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRINCIPALS' ADAPTABILITY AND TEACHERS' JOB INVOLVEMENT
type: item
description: This study examined the relationship between principals’ adaptability and teachers’ job involvement in secondary schools across Abia State. Principals' adaptability, a key component of emotional intelligence, plays a vital role in how effectively they respond to dynamic educational environments and manage staff relationships. Guided by a research question and a hypothesis tested at the 0.05 level of significance, the study adopted a correlational research design. The population comprised 16,650 secondary school teachers, from which a multi-stage sampling technique was used to select a representative sample of 639 teachers (approximately 4% of the population). Data were collected using two instruments: the Principals’ Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (PEIQ) and the Teachers’ Job Involvement Questionnaire (TJIQ), both of which were validated by experts in the Faculty of Education, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Reliability was established using Cronbach’s alpha, yielding coefficients of 0.80 and 0.84 for the PEIQ and TJIQ respectively. Analysis using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation revealed a strong positive and statistically significant relationship between principals’ adaptability and teachers’ job involvement. The study concludes that when principals are adaptable in managing challenges and interpersonal relationships, it positively influences teachers’ commitment, engagement, and productivity. The study recommends continuous professional development for school leaders focused on emotional adaptability and people-centered leadership skills to enhance teacher effectiveness and overall school performance.

LEARNING OUTCOMES IN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN ANAMBRA SOUTH SENATORIAL ZONE: AN ASSESSMENT OF CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIC INTERVENTIONS
type: item
description: The centrality of secondary education in the overall development agenda of any nation cannot be overemphasized. In Nigeria, and specifically in Anambra State, senior secondary education remains a critical stage for the formation of future leaders, professionals, and informed citizens. However, the persistently uneven performance of students in external examinations such as the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) suggests that there are significant gaps in the realization of intended learning outcomes. This study adopts a theoretical research design to interrogate the state of learning outcomes in Anambra South Senatorial Zone, focusing on institutional, curricular, infrastructural, and pedagogical dynamics. Relying on documentary evidence, including WAEC performance data (2018–2023), policy documents, and extant literature, the paper critically assesses the contextual variables influencing student achievement across the six Local Government Areas in the zone. Anchored on Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory and the Human Capital framework, the study uncovers disparities in teacher deployment, instructional quality, school governance, and infrastructural provision as key determinants of poor outcomes, particularly in Orumba South and Ihiala LGAs. The paper concludes that sustainable reform must be anchored on community-responsive planning, strategic investment in school infrastructure, and enhanced teacher development.
