    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In

    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

  • Enhancing the Standard of Legal Education in Zambia: Challenges and Prospects

    Enhancing the Standard of Legal Education in Zambia: Challenges and Prospects

    ENHANCING THE STANDARD OF LEGAL EDUCATION IN ZAMBIA: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS BY DR CHIPASHA MULENGA, LLD, AHCZ EXECUTIVE DEAN – SCHOOL OF LAW, UNIVERSITY OF LUSAKA, ZAMBIA ABSTRACT The core of legal education should be to prepare students for the different roles they will assume after law school. This seemingly modest idea, however, actually creates a daunting challenge as lawyers’ roles are multifaceted. Where there is little attention paid to legal education, the result is a deterioration of standards thereby affecting the quality of law graduates produced by legal education institutions. It has been asserted that the standard of legal education in Zambia has not attained the required heights but has, on the contrary, over the years, gradually deteriorated. This contention mostly centres on fundamental aspects that legal education institutions have not, over the years, been addressed. To address this perception, accreditation of schools of law has been introduced as a mandatory requirement. It is argued, with optimism, that accreditation could be a panacea. Regrettably, however, accreditation does not appear to fully ameliorate the present state of legal education in Zambia especially that the empowering statute is fraught with frailties. There are, however, some positive aspects which, if addressed properly, would spur legal education to greater heights. The article, therefore, argues that legal education in Zambia is under siege and if the situation remains unaddressed, it could eventually lead to the collapse of legal education, however, the situation is not beyond reprieve. KEYWORDS: Accreditation; Higher Education Authority; Legal Education; Legal Education Institutions; Zambia Institute for Advanced Legal Education. 1 INTRODUCTION Legal education has a fundamental part to play in society.

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 2438. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/2438 AWARENESS AND ATTITUDE OF UNDERGRADUATES TOWARD SERIAL PUBLICATIONS IN KWARA STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Abstract This study examined the awareness and attitude of undergraduates toward Serial Publications in Kwara State University Library. Descriptive survey research method was adopted and questionnaire was administered to 360 undergraduates of Kwara State university to obtain the required data. The objectives of the study were to ascertain the level of awareness of serials publications, the rate of serial accessibility, attitude of student towards serial publications, constraints faced in the use of serials and types of serials used by student and its influence on their academic performance. The result revealed that journals and newspapers are the mostly patronized types of serials by undergraduate students. More than half of the undergraduates have access to serial like journals, newspapers and government publications. Also fair size of the respondents attested that serial publications have positive impact on their academic performance to some extent. The study also revealed that the respondents have negative attitude toward serial publication in the library. The major constraint associated with the use of serial publications was inadequate infrastructure for accessing serials electronically and many of the serials are not well displayed in the library.
