Education and Training in Grenada: A Partially Annotated Bibliography

This bibliography on “Education and Training in Grenada” has been specifically prepared for the UWI School of Continuing Studies’ Grenada Conference. An attempt has been made to be as comprehensive as possible, but the compiler recognizes that because of the weak bibliographical coverage of the literature of the region, important items may have been omitted. This is especially true for policy documents emanating from official sources, since many of these do not reach library and documentation centres. This publication contributes to the development of content for a computerized database developed by the Caribbean Educational Research Information Service (CERIS) at the School of Education, UWI, St. Augustine

The Impact of Non-Residential Tertiary Institutions on Housing in Lagos: A Case Study of Lagos State University

Tertiary institutions generally are to provide quality education to students on a full time basis and this requires domiciling the students in an area accessible to the school. This study examines the impact of the absence of students’ hostel accommodation at the Lagos State University (LASU), due to the policy of the school as non-residential one. It examines the impact of the students accommodation on housing dynamics. The researchers carried out a 15% sampling size in which 173 questionnaires were administered. For the purpose of this research, the systematic random sampling was used so as to minimise bias and enhance the probability of selecting a representative sample.The primary data included direct personal observations, oral interviews and use of questionnaire.The secondary data sets were sourced from Institutions and Government Organizations relevant to the study.The results show that there is high demand for housing units within the area because of nearness to the University campus. There is high occupancy ratio of 6-7 people per room, high rise building is commonest and accommodate up to 140 people. It is concluded that the off campus accommodation by the students in the study area led to high demand for housing units with increament in rent, development of shanty, and illegal expansion of existing building

Recent Nigerian Poetry in English: A Critical Survey

In general terms, Nigerian poetry in English before the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970) was marked by an excessive preoccupation with private grief and emotions over and above societal tragedies and triumphs, undue eurocentrism, derivationism, obscurantism and private esotericism.
