    Access to Higher Education for National Development in Nigeria: Distance Education to the Rescue
    (University of Uyo: Forum of Educational Benchmarkers, 2017-10-14) Bakare, T.V.
    The paper examined the place of Distance Education (DE) as a method of Adult Education in Nigeria and its contribution to national development. It discussed DE practice and challenges in some African countries and related this to the Nigerian situation. It further noted the challenges of the national admission body into the regular tertiary institutions with reconciling the ratio of applicants to those admitted. However, DE, which is conventionally a form of Adult Education, is fast becoming a replacement for regular higher education in its conduct. The implication of this on Adult Education practice in Nigeria is that the changes in the demographics of participants in DE, along with other challenges, affects the essence of Adult Education provision, access and conduct. The paper analyzed the concept of DE and noted that it is currently used to replace, instead of support mainstream education in Nigeria thus eroding the more desirable non-formal approach. It agreed that DE can be used as a tool, per excellence, for human and national development, if practiced in its proper context, attracting the target candidates. Suggestions proffered for better conduct of DE include mounting awareness campaigns to attract the right candidates into programs, and better provision of access to regular education for the youth to stem their influx into DE. The discourse has great implications for lifelong learning, access, national development and adult education practice in Nigeria and globally.

The paper discussed DE practice and challenges in some African countries and related this to the Nigerian situation. The paper further noted the challenge of the national admission body into the regular tertiary institutions with reconciling the ratio of applicants to those admitted. However, DE, which is originally a form of Adult Education, is fast becoming a replacement for regular higher education in its conduct. The implication of this on Adult Education practice in Nigeria is that the changes in the demographics of participants in DE, along with other challenges, affects the essence of Adult Education provision, access and its conduct. The paper analyzed the concept of DE and noted that distance education is currently used to replace, instead of support mainstream education in Nigeria by eroding the more desirable non-formal approach. The paper agrees that DE can be used as a tool, per excellence, for human and national development if practiced in its proper context attracting the target candidates. Several suggestions were proffered for better conduct of DE, including awareness campaigns to attract the right candidates into DE programs as well as better provision of access to regular education for the youth to stem their influx into DE.

    Achieving the effectiveness of the Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme for sustainability of the Nigerian economy
    (Work-Integrated Learning New Zealand (WILNZ), 2022-08-27) Alao, Olusegun Ezekiel; Osanyinro, Jemmy Bolanle; Alao, Priscilla Onyinye
    The increasing unemployment of graduates and its consequence on society make it imperative to examine the potential of the Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), as a work-integrated learning program, towards sustainability. This study adopts the descriptive survey design, with relevant research questions and hypotheses. The population of the study comprised all the 166 final-year students of vocational and technology education (business education, home economics education and technology education) undergraduates in the federal university in Lagos State, Nigeria. The sample size consisted of 132 randomly selected students from this cohort. The findings of this study can be generalized for other public universities in Nigeria on the assumption that they share similar characteristics. The findings showed that the inadequacy of SIWES duration, insufficient funding and poorly matched placements were some of the impediments to its effectiveness. The recommended strategy is an urgent improvement of the SIWES program for the attainment of sustainability in Nigeria.

    Adoption of the UKK Walk Test in the Assessment of Cardiorespiratory Fitness of Women
    (2005) Otinwa, G.O.
    Purpose of this study was to assess cardiorespiratory fitness of a group of 60 U.S. women, using the UKK 2 Km walk test, and to compare fitness of the study group to Nigerian women and reported norms. Participants’ height, weight, BMI, and body fat percentage, and resting values of heart rate and blood pressure were measured. Subjects walked 2 km as fast as they could on an indoor track wearing a polar heart rate monitor. The UKK Institute’s prediction equation was used to calculate a fitness index based on gender, age, body weight, time to walk 2 km, and heart rate at the end of the walk. Means, standard deviations, and the calculated fitness index were used in the analysis. Results showed the older age brackets had higher values in the variables tested, and were considered overweight, while some were obese. Resting values of all subjects were within normal range for blood pressure. Fitness indices showed the 20-30 years age bracket had a mean of 91.81 (average cardiorespiratory fitness), while the other 3 groups had lower scores. Involvement in physical activity for 30 minutes duration, 3-5 days a week is recommended as a means of improving cardiorespiratory fitness.
