Abstract: Teacher education refers to the policies and procedures designed to equip prospective teachers with the knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and skills they require to perform their tasks effectively in the classroom, school and community. In 1993, National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) was set up for the maintenance of standards and improvement of the quality of teacher education in the country. The quality of teacher education not only depends on professionally sound and relevant curriculum, but also on the way the curriculum is implemented in teacher education institutions. Teacher education provides a platform to student-teachers to acquire knowledge, skill and develop positive attitude, values and beliefs. This can be done with the help of the provided curriculum.............

Abstract: AbstractThe purpose of my paper is to scrutinize closely the concept of social satire, revealing and thereby amending the society‟s blight in relation to the novel, The Edible Woman by the Canadian author Margaret Atwood.

It uses the narrative device of exaggeration to expose some of the negative elements of consumer society, making both funny and bitterly.......

Abstract: - The war in northern Uganda, between the Lord‟s Resistance Army (LRA) and the central government which is generally agreed to have started in 1986 and ended in 2006, has attracted many theories as to its origin. While most scholars blame it on marginalisation, discrimination, loss of power by the locals and religious fanaticism which led to acts of terrorism, we assert that one of the underlying causes or perhaps the only leading cause was the emergence of "slim‟ or HIV/AIDS. The other so-called causes could have only been mere triggers of the desperation stemming from this disease which at the time had no known medical..........
