Abstract: The study was conducted to investigate the availability of equipment/instructional materials and structures for the implementation of entrepreneurship education in animal husbandry occupation. The study adopted descriptive survey design. It also adopted random sampling techniques to obtain the respondents of the study. One Hundred teachers were drawn from a total of One Hundred secondary schools which have had approval to sit for the subject in the 2014/2015 senior school certificate Examination conducted by West African Examination Council (WAEC) and National Examination Council (NECO). Data for analysis was obtained through the use of a structured questionnaire that adopted a four-point Likert scale. The data was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The result indicates that few equipment and structures were available. It was also observed that the availability or provision of these equipment and structures were stifled by inadequate funds, high cost of equipment and structures and lack of maintenance culture, power supply. The few equipment and structures were also not adequately utilized due to certain constraints. On this instance, it was recommended that government should pay some attention to the provision of equipment and structures if youths must become entrepreneurs, after graduations. It was also observed that the availability or provision of these equipment and structures were stifled by inadequate funds, high cost of equipment and structures and lack of maintenance culture.

Abstract: There are many cases in Korean-French translation when the equivalents are not available in French and even when there are, the mechanical translation is not possible because of the difference in their usages. This paper aims to analyse the features of French languaguage in its usages from the perspective of word combination and composition of statements.

Abstract: This descriptive survey study investigated the skill development in vocational and technical education for graduates’ employability in tertiary institutions. The design of the study was survey design. The study was carried out in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Three purposes of study and three corresponding research questions guided the study. The sample for the study was 200 made up of students in the Departments of vocational and technical education in two (2) tertiary institutions in the study area. A structured questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. The findings show that personal reliability and economic adaptability are skills needed by graduates for employability in tertiary institutions in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Based on the findings the following recommendations were made; the content of skill vocational programme in the Nigerian high institutions should be made more practical than theoretical so that graduate can be self-employed rather than seeking for white collar jobs. This finding should be made available to tertiary institutions in the state and country at large to serve as blueprint for policy makers and curriculum planners.

Abstract: The focus of the study is to use multinomial logistic regression model to analyze the determinants of students’ academic performance in mathematics. A simple random sample of 393 students was selected from a cohort of first year students of Zamse Senior High/Technical in the Bolgatanga Municipality. The students were admitted in the 2015/2016 academic year to pursue various programmes in the school. A questionnaire was used to gather data from the students. The results indicate that the occurrence of good performance in mathematics is largely dependent on sex of students with male students showing significantly good performance than female students. Another significant predictor of good academic performance in mathematics was the age of students; with younger students exhibiting good academic performance than older students. Mother’s employment also contributes significantly to good performance in mathematics with students whose mothers are employed showing good academic performance than their counterparts whose mothers are not employed.
