Abstract: Geographical field work has been argued to be particularly useful in the development of insight, attainment of cognitive/intellectual, technical achievements and development of empathy in students.

The study therefore assesses the implementation of fieldwork in some senior secondary schools in Kano state. Stratified random sampling was used to select 10 schools out of the 34 public senior secondary in the metropolitan area.............

Abstract: Abstract: This article is a humble attempt to deal with the state of women in a patriarchal society from the Vedic period to modern contemporary society. On the one hand, a woman is extolled to the heights of heaven by epitomizing her as a goddess, on the other hand, she is damned as an abla, a weakling who depends upon man for her existence and sustenance. The article traces the paradigm shift where a woman emerges despite all obstacles to hold her own identity in personal and professional life. Here woman is not put vis-a-vis man but woman is no more an accessory to man rather a companion, a life partner who is equal to him in every respect.

Abstract: - Public Interest Litigation (PIL)is a concept which fully justifies the universally accepted promise that human beings are social animals. No one wants to see his fellows defenseless, in the face of violation of his fundamental rights, due to insufficient means. This very notion has led to the revolutionary concept of PIL. The termPIL is a new phenomenon in our legal system. In PIL the courts are seen for the first time to be concerned with public interest matters going beyond the traditional role of the judges.It involves a public law approach with respect to the rules of standing, procedure and remedies..............
