Analysis of Management Practices in Lagos State Tertiary Institutions Through Total Quality Management Structural Framework
Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.7, No.8, 2016 Analysis of Management Practices in Lagos State Tertiary Institutions through Total Quality Management Structural Framework Abbas Tunde AbdulAzeez Faculty of Education, Lagos State University Ojo Campus, Ojo, Lagos State, Nigeria Abstract This research investigated total quality management practices and quality teacher education in public tertiary institutions in Lagos State. The study was therefore designed to analyse management practices in Lagos state tertiary institutions through total quality management structural framework. The selected public tertiary institutions in Lagos State were Lagos State University (LASU) Ojo, University of Lagos (UNILAG) Akoka, Michael Otedola College of Primary Education (MOCOPED) Inaforija, Epe, Federal College of Education Technical (FCET)Akoka, and Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED) Oto-Ijanikin. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. A Total Quality Management practices and Quality Teacher Education Questionnaire (TQMP-QTEQ) was used to obtain data for the study. The structured questionnaire was administered on 905 academic and non-academic staff members and final year students of sampled institutions using purposive sampling technique. The questionnaire was content-validated using expert opinion method and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) statistics of sampling adequacy. In terms of the measure of reliability, the Cronbach’s Alpha values for the two major constructs of the study are satisfactory – quality teacher education (0.838) and TQM (0.879). Their Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) statistics of sampling adequacy were equally above the acceptable standard of 0.7. The hypotheses were tested at the 5 percent level of significance. -
African Regional Interest Group Virtual Meeting 2021
African Regional Interest Group Virtual Meeting 2021 JUNE 28 - 30 AfRIG2021.org #AFRIG @IntPharmacoEpi Presented in conjunction with MURIA Welcome to AfRIG On behalf of the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE), the Africa Regional Interest Group (AfRIG) and the Medicines Utilizations Research in Africa (MURIA) Group, we welcome you to ISPE AfRIG and MURIA’s virtual conference on Pharmacoepidemiology and medicines utilization in Africa. The conference theme: “Building research Dr. Kwame Appenteng capacity in Pharmacoepidemiology for healthcare Chair, ISPE Africa systems in Africa: Data Networks and Analytics to Support Patient Care and Medical Products Policy” is timely given the increasing interest in Pharmacoepidemiology training and research in recent years and propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Several African countries are in the process of developing healthcare databases that could potentially be utilized for patient-centered research purposes. Globally, there is growing use of real-world data for health-related research, and for regulatory decision-making regarding the safety and effectiveness of marketed medicinal products and devices. This is therefore an exciting scientific meeting, which draws on the collective Prof. Brian Godman knowledge and experience of a multi-disciplinary MURIA panel of leading global experts, to share and gain insights into ongoing scientific research in Africa, explore pharmacoepidemiology opportunities for the African continent, and to find avenues for collaborative scientific research work for the benefit of patients in Africa. We hope you enjoy every session of the conference.

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. -
