    Advice on Qualification Equivalencies 2018-2019 University of Cambridge – Graduate Admissions Office This document is advisory only and is designed to give Departments a guide for the minimum entry requirements for each country. It is worth noting that there can be great variation in the education systems between countries, and Departments should, as always, consider each application on the strength of the references and other supporting materials in addition to the academic qualification. The document has been compiled from a variety of sources including: UK NARIC (National Academic Recognition Information Centre for the United Kingdom) www.naric.org.uk; The International Office; and views from individuals in several Faculties. Please note that this table lists the University’s minimum requirements. Departments and Degree Committees differ in how they regard qualifications, and may therefore require a higher grade or qualification than that specified below. An academic case will be considered with relevant supporting information for applicants who do not meet these guidelines. Comments and views from colleagues on this document are very welcome. Please contact Clare Impey at the Graduate Admissions Office if you wish to comment on or add to any advice – [email protected] . When requesting more information about a specific case, it is helpful if you can send copies of the applicant’s academic transcripts where possible. ****NOTE: Where multiple grading schemes are listed on one transcript, whichever requirement is the highest should be applied.

  • Building Agricultural Education and Training Capacity in Post-Conflict Countries: Case Studies from South Sudan and Sub-Saharan Africa”
    Innovation for Agricultural Training and Education “Building agricultural education and training capacity in post-conflict countries: case studies from South Sudan and Sub-Saharan Africa” August 20 and 21, 2013 Kampala, Uganda Compiled by: A. L. (Tom) Hammett USAID/BFS/ARP-Funded Project Award Number: AID-OAA-L-12-00002 1 Contents Workshop summary Synthesis of working groups discussion – Day One Synthesis of working groups discussion – Day Two Summary of research priorities for AET capacity building in post-conflict environment Recommendations Appendices 2 Background The workshop was originally scheduled as a side meeting during the Post-conflict Conference to be held at the University of Juba in South Sudan in early August. Due to the uncertainty after some sudden political changes during the first week of August, the venue was moved to Nairobi, Kenya. The international airport there caught fire causing massive disruption of air traffic and uncertainty of when the airport might be re-opened and return to normal service. So it was decided to move the workshop one more time – to Kampala, Uganda – starting a week later. All but two of the 20 planned participants in the original group were able to attend the newest (third) venue. These two were replaced by local participants working in Uganda. 3 Synthesis of Working Group Discussion – Day One (20 August 2013) On the first day of the workshop, we focused primarily on examining case studies to summarize approaches and identify good practices taken to rebuild agricultural higher education capacity in several post-conflict countries in Africa (workshop objective number one). In addition, we also wished to document dialogue on our discussion of approaches to agricultural capacity building in African post-conflict countries (workshop objective number two).

  • Preservice Laboratory Education Strengthening Enhances
    Fonjungo et al. Human Resources for Health 2013, 11:56 http://www.human-resources-health.com/content/11/1/56 RESEARCH Open Access Preservice laboratory education strengthening enhances sustainable laboratory workforce in Ethiopia Peter N Fonjungo1,8*, Yenew Kebede1, Wendy Arneson2, Derese Tefera1, Kedir Yimer1, Samuel Kinde3, Meseret Alem4, Waqtola Cheneke5, Habtamu Mitiku6, Endale Tadesse7, Aster Tsegaye3 and Thomas Kenyon1 Abstract Background: There is a severe healthcare workforce shortage in sub Saharan Africa, which threatens achieving the Millennium Development Goals and attaining an AIDS-free generation. The strength of a healthcare system depends on the skills, competencies, values and availability of its workforce. A well-trained and competent laboratory technologist ensures accurate and reliable results for use in prevention, diagnosis, care and treatment of diseases. Methods: An assessment of existing preservice education of five medical laboratory schools, followed by remedial intervention and monitoring was conducted. The remedial interventions included 1) standardizing curriculum and implementation; 2) training faculty staff on pedagogical methods and quality management systems; 3) providing teaching materials; and 4) procuring equipment for teaching laboratories to provide practical skills to complement didactic education. Results: A total of 2,230 undergraduate students from the five universities benefitted from the standardized curriculum. University of Gondar accounted for 252 of 2,230 (11.3%) of the students, Addis Ababa University for 663 (29.7%), Jimma University for 649 (29.1%), Haramaya University for 429 (19.2%) and Hawassa University for 237 (10.6%) of the students. Together the universities graduated 388 and 312 laboratory technologists in 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 academic year, respectively.

A total of 384 samples were collected from different kebeles near Jimma. Out of the total sampled 164 (42.71%) were positive for Fasciolosis. According to coprological examination, variation in prevalence among the localities was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The result also revealed no statistically significant difference between sexes and ages (p>0.05). Infection rate in poor body condition animals (74.80%) was significantly higher (p<0.05) than good body condition animals (12.20%) and this indicates that the importance of Fasciolosis in causing weight loss and weakness, a characteristic of sign of chronic Fasciolosis. Results obtained in this area were discussed in comparisons with the finding of other research works.

  • Monetary Reward and Teachers' Performance in Selected Public
    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.8, No.7, 2017 Monetary Reward and Teachers’ Performance in Selected Public Secondary Schools in Kano State Professor Garba Bala Bello, Muhammad Bello Jakada Department of Business Administration and Entrepreneurship, Bayero University, Kano Abstract This is a conceptual study that intends to examine the relationship between monetary reward and teachers’ performance in Some Selected Kano State public secondary schools. Secondary schools are the bridge between primary education and higher institutions in Nigeria. The need for students to acquire more knowledge and skills beyond primary level in Nigeria has become imperative and hence the need for secondary school education. Therefore, teachers performance is of utmost concern since improvement of teachers’ performance can lead to effective performance of students and the education sector at large. The study is going to be quantitative and will adopt survey research design. Cluster sampling technique will be used to obtain responses from the sample of 375 teachers. Regression analysis will be used for Data analysis through SPSS version 17. Keywords : Monetary reward, Performance, Teachers, Motivation 1.0 Background to the Study The need for individuals to perform for the organization to function effectively is very important. Job performance is carrying out an activity expected from an employee largely influenced by the reward in place. When an employee does what is prescribed as the content of his job, he performed. Individual job performance is of high relevance for the existence and well being of organizations (Sonnentag, Volmer & Spychala, 2010). Armstrong (2010) argued that one of the most important, if not the most important, of the responsibilities undertaken by managers of organisations is to ensure that members of their entities achieve high levels of performance.
