Book An Examination of School Leader s Perceptions of the Impact of HIV AIDS on Selected Primary Schools in Zimbabwe

Download or read book An Examination of School Leader s Perceptions of the Impact of HIV AIDS on Selected Primary Schools in Zimbabwe written by Violet Kanonuhwa and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to have a profound impact on Africa, this study seeks to understand Zimbabwe primary school leaders' perspectives on the impact of HIV/AIDS on the everyday operations of their schools, and on their leadership roles and practices. The study utilized a mixed methods design to examine the perceptions of primary school heads in Zimbabwe regarding HIV/AID education practices at the local level in 2000. The study was both quantitative and qualitative in nature, investigating school leaders' perceptions regarding HIV/AIDS program by utilizing both a questionnaire and interviews. In addition, the study included examination of national data and policies on HIV/AIDS education. The theoretical framework of the study derives from three bodies of literature: education in Zimbabwe, moral and ethical frameworks, and AIDS education for primary age children. Findings. The survey revealed differences between rural and urban school heads that reflected their local community situation. School leaders in Zimbabwe agree that HIV/AIDS was having an impact on the operation of their local schools. Political history, economic conditions, cultural values and norms have an influence on the types of HIV/AIDS programs promoted and implemented in Zimbabwe. The majority of the rural area leaders did not feel confident about their understanding of the recommended HIV/AIDS education and stressed that their community lack the resources needed to assist with the AIDS orphans crisis. But both urban and rural school leaders stated the need of involving local citizens need to be active participants in the design, implementation, and assessment of the HIV/AIDS. Implications. While it was difficult to conduct further field research at this time due to the country's political and economical instability, the researcher's recent visits to the country, as well as new studies and data, show that the situation is even more desperate today than we the research was originally conducted. A study needs to look at how school leaders can collaborate with already existing communitybased organizations to design programs that reflect the cultures, traditions, and communities in which they exist by utilizing local citizens and come up with effective responses to HIV/AIDS.

Book Education and Development in Zimbabwe

Download or read book Education and Development in Zimbabwe written by Edward Shizha and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book represents a contribution to policy formulation and design in an increasingly knowledge economy in Zimbabwe. It challenges scholars to think about the role of education, its funding and the egalitarian approach to widening access to education. The nexus between education, democracy and policy change is a complex one. The book provides an illuminating account of the constantly evolving notions of national identity, language and citizenship from the Zimbabwean experience. The book discusses educational successes and challenges by examining the ideological effects of social, political and economic considerations on Zimbabwe’s colonial and postcolonial education. Currently, literature on current educational challenges in Zimbabwe is lacking and there is very little published material on these ideological effects on educational development in Zimbabwe. This book is likely to be one of the first on the impact of social, political and economic meltdown on education. The book is targeted at local and international academics and scholars of history of education and comparative education, scholars of international education and development, undergraduate and graduate students, and professors who are interested in educational development in Africa, particularly Zimbabwe. Notwithstanding, the book is a valuable resource to policy makers, educational administrators and researchers and the wider community. Shizha and Kariwo’s book is an important and illuminating addition on the effects of social, political and economic trajectories on education and development in Zimbabwe. It critically analyses the crucial specifics of the Zimbabwean situation by providing an in depth discourse on education at this historical juncture. The book offers new insights that may be useful for an understanding of not only the Zimbabwean case, but also education in other African countries. Rosemary Gordon, Senior Lecturer in Educational Foundations, University of Zimbabwe Ranging in temporal scope from the colonial era and its elitist legacy through the golden era of populist, universal elementary education to the disarray of contemporary socioeconomic crisis; covering elementary through higher education and touching thematically on everything from the pernicious effects of social adjustment programmes through the local deprofessionalization of teaching, this text provides a comprehensive, wide ranging and yet carefully detailed account of education in Zimbabwe. This engagingly written portrayal will prove illuminating not only to readers interested in Zimbabwe’s education specifically but more widely to all who are interested in how the sociopolitical shapes education- how ideology, policy, international pressures, economic factors and shifts in values collectively forge the historical and contemporary character of a country’s education.

Book Africa University s Approach to Zimbabwe s HIV AIDS Epidemic

Download or read book Africa University s Approach to Zimbabwe s HIV AIDS Epidemic written by Moses Brighton Rumano and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the causes of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Zimbabwe as perceived by students and faculty at Africa University, a pan African international private institution situated in Mutare, the third-largest city in Zimbabwe. The main purpose of the study was three-fold; 1) to investigate the perceived causes of the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe, the worst affected country in Southern Africa; 2) to examine the role of teacher preparation programs in dealing with the HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe; and 3) to explore the role of sex education in combating the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Zimbabwe. A phenomenological theoretical framework provided the scope and dimension of a qualitative research approach formulated to collect data on the perceived causes of the HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe among students and faculty at Africa University. The case study design chosen used detailed semi-structured interviews, observations and documentary evidence and employed questioning strategies of a "how" and "why" nature. It did not require control over behavioral events and is a commonly used approach among studies focusing on present-day events in their real-life context. The case study design was chosen as a particularly good means of educational investigation because of its ability to explain the causal links in real-life interventions that are too complex for survey or experimental strategies. I observed a total of eight two-hour lessons in a range of classes made up of senior students preparing to be either high school teachers or health educators. All the classes that I observed were large and ranged from forty students to one hundred. In none of the classes that I observed were there HIV/AIDS materials displayed in the classrooms or lecture halls. However, well-illustrated billboards about HIV/AIDS were erected on all the entrances to the university campus. I interviewed eight senior students and eight faculty members. Initial data analysis took place through analyzing responses on observation notes that I compiled in the eight lessons that I observed. Different colors of markings were used to identify common themes. The themes that emerged from the observations were basically similar to those that came from the analysis of the semi-structured interviews.

Book Youth and Higher Education in Africa The Cases of Cameroon South Africa Eritrea and Zimbabwe

Download or read book Youth and Higher Education in Africa The Cases of Cameroon South Africa Eritrea and Zimbabwe written by P. Chimanikire and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2009-08-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student activism in Africa, at least since the early 1990s, has been preoccupied with popular struggles for democracy in both their respective countries and institutions of higher learning. The changing socio-economic and political conditions in many African countries, characterized by the decline in economic growth and the introduction of multi-party politics, among several other factors, have had different impact on students and student political organizations in African universities. This book recounts the responses of students to these changes in their attempt to negotiate better living and studying conditions. The four case studies contained in the book - Cameroon, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Eritrea - clearly reveal the very important aspects of the situation in which African students find themselves in many countries, and underscores the need to understand the character and development of higher education on the continent. Ministries of Higher Education, Vice Chancellors, Deans of Students, Student Unions and parents will find this book very useful in terms of understanding the tensions that often arise at institutions of higher learning and why solutions seem to be elusive.
