	:	10.9790/0837-19220108

Abstract: The study investigated the perceived impact of government policy of deregulation on tertiary educational system in Nigeria. Edo state was taken as the case study. A total of 881 respondents provided responses that were used for analysis. Data analysis was accomplished using frequency tables, mean and Friedman test.The respondents felt the enactment of the policy was borne out of government inability to fund tertiary education development (mean = 3.45) and called for stricter issuance of licensing (mean = 3.37).

Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Obi, Osorochi Patricia
	:	10.9790/0837-19221923

Abstract: The current wave of change in the workplace challenges traditional notions of career and career development. This necessitates new ways of thinking about and rendering career counseling services. The critical role of career counseling in the achievement of the objectives of the Universal Basic Education (UBE) program in Nigeria is highly recognized. This is a quantitative study that highlights the need to develop unique and novel approaches to career theory and practice that will give counselors the needed flexibility to render appropriate career guidance to learners in the UBE program in Nigeria. This paper concludes that a new career counseling model is imperative for the successful implementation of the UBE program. It will also enable the learners to find appropriate career path in the 21st century. Implications for career counseling were identified while suggestions for a way forward were proffered.

Title	:	The Evolving Trend in Indian Poetry in English
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. Manjit Kaur
	:	10.9790/0837-19222427

Abstract:Indian Poetry in English has evolved from spirituality to specificity as its major preoccupation and concern. If we look at pre independence poetry, we meet the stalwart figures of Tagore, Sri Aurobindo and the like who despite their deep patriotic concerns wrote poems evincing their focus on the matters of soul, God or ultimate truth. These poets were very close to the spirit and tradition of Vivekananda and Ram Tirtha who were in the thick of the India awakening in the renaissance period through forging an identity and unity not only within them but also between East and West cultures.

Country	:	India
Authors	:	Swati Shastri
	:	10.9790/0837-19222831

Abstract: India is a vast country with its diversified ecological zones and its own peculiar diseases, which were difficult to prevent with the limited resources. When the British came to India, they were only avoiding the diseases but in the nineteenth century they started making attempts to reduce sickness and mortality among the natives. Ayurveda and the Unani medicines were the main streams of the health care. In British India, there were a set of epidemic diseases; like cholera, leprosy, malaria, plague and smallpox.

Title	:	State, Society and Gender Disparities in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. Shalini Gupta
	:	10.9790/0837-19223238

Abstract: Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, which once were parts of one country, reflect huge variations in gender disparities. These gender disparities are the result of social, cultural, economic, political and institutional factors in these countries. This paper analyses gender disparities in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, focusing on the state and society. Social norms and practices along with constitutional provisions and legal framework have been examined in these countries in the context of gender gaps. Certain key parameters, reflecting the state of women in these countries have also been examined. It is noted that Bangladesh, which is the youngest and the poorest country among the three, has made fast strides in reducing gender disparities leaving India and Pakistan far behind. There is no evidence of reduction in gender disparities in Pakistan, the country from which Bangladesh broke away to become an independent country. Rather gender disparities have become more pronounced over time in Pakistan. India has also not made any significant progress in reduction of gender disparities. The study concludes with policy implications.

Country	:	India
Authors	:	Vidyanand S. Khandagale, Dr. Shefali Pandya
	:	10.9790/0837-19223943

Abstract: In this era of privatization and resulting commercialization of education at all levels, it is of paramount of importance to analyse the cost of education incurred to a student (or his/her parents) for his/her schooling. There is a public perception that higher one pays the amount of fees, better is likely to be his/her education and thereby, ultimately his/her academic achievement.

Title	:	Is Sufficiency in Food Alone- A Guarantee of An End of Hunger? Evidences from Rural Bangladesh
Country	:	Bangladesh
Authors	:	Md. Touhidul Alam
	:	10.9790/0837-19226771

Abstract: Food security refers to proper access to sufficient and nutritious food. Despite the claim that Bangladesh is self sufficient in food, the real scenario, as evident, is that a big portion of our population lack in sufficient calorie. An attempt has been made through this study to determine the causes of this lack in sufficient calorie i.e., food insecurity in rural Bangladesh by using data from the project "Chronic poverty in Rural Bangladesh-2009". A Binary Logistic Regression model has been used to investigate determinants of food insecurity. Households are defined as food insecure(1) if calorie consumption per day per capita is less than 2122 kcal and food secure(0) otherwise. From our investigation and empirical analysis it is found that despite of having increasing trend both in per capita food production and food availability, many of our people lack in energy balance. That is, sufficiency of food alone doesn't guarantee an end of hunger. Household size, dependency ratio, land assets of the households and per capita monthly income are found statistically significant for such an imbalance. Moreover, result from Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve suggests that our fitted model is fairly discriminating.

Abstract: Computer Assisted language Learning has now become an accepted form of teaching language. It is widely acknowledged that the use of computers have positive impact on the students. Yet it has always been a matter of a question why the impact of CALL has been different for different students. There have been numerous studies on students and teachers' attitude and perception towards CALL but there has been only limited studies exploring students preferences and learning experience.

Title	:	Wuraola Esan as Educationist

Abstract:This paper is a biographical study of a Nigerian woman educationist, Wuraola Esan with special focus on her contribution to the promotion of female education. It locates the neglect of female education on socio-religious and cultural beliefs, and therefore conceives in general terms the activities of Mrs. Wuraola Esan (centred in Ibadan), and in particular, her efforts towards the social emancipation of the female gender. Based on original and primary sources, the paper highlights the role of private endeavour/initiatives, as exemplified by the subject of study, in Nigeria's educational development.

Title	:	Philosophy of ceiling Design in French Style interiors
Country	:	Saudi Arabia
Authors	:	Enas Anoos
	:	10.9790/0837-1922127133

Abstract: The treatment of the ceiling has seen the mid-sixteenth century new developments inspired by the great Italian and examples that changed the architectural balance of the piece by more closely integrating the decoration of the walls that they covered, and thus accentuating unity of the confined space. The series culminates with the evolution of a program ceiling of Versailles, but works undertaken in large Parisian houses from the 1630 has helped to define the new section of the ceiling, offering artists a vast field of activity. Research will continue in mid-century, in order to completely conceal the supporting structure and integrate the ceiling to the architecture of the space. Keywords: Ceiling design , French Architecture, Style Louis XIII and Louis XIV.

Abstract: Pakistan's constitutional history witnessed many civilian and military dictators who assumed de facto powers by refusing to act under the Constitution as ceremonial heads. It created hurdles in the evolution of democratic parliamentary culture in the state. Parliamentary democracy collapsed four times in Pakistan due to escalating political aspiration of military Generals, mismanagement and unstable institutional development. The varying constitutional models (Parliamentary to Presidential and Quasi Presidential) and then amendments in 1973 Constitution (8th and 17th) had distorted parliamentary democracy, diluted parliament's sovereignty and denied people's rights.
