    The people in the Tano Districts of Ghana use groundwater as a source of drinking water and pit latrines for sanitation. However, when pit latrines and wells coexist, it is of paramount importance to ensure safer distances between them. This is to avoid faecal contamination of the groundwater. This study sought to investigate the impact of lateral separations between pit latrines and the wells on groundwater contamination in the Tano Districts of Ghana. To obtain a sample size of 15 wells within the proximity of pit latrines, a simple random sampling was considered in this study. It was revealed that none of the sites satisfied the Ministry of Water Resources, Works and Housing (MWRWH) of Ghana’s (2010) 50m guideline for lateral separation between a well and a pit latrine. It was also brought to light that there was not much variation of the lateral distances with the total and faecal coliform counts in the water. Even so, the enterococci counts seemed to have an inverse variation with the lateral separations between the pit latrines and the wells in this study area. The enterococci might be a better human faecal indicator than the other coliforms considered in this study. The study recommends strict enforcement of the MWRWH (2010) 50m guideline for lateral separation between a well and a pit latrine in the area studied. To investigate the human faeces as a contaminant, preference must be given to the enterococci as a faecal indicator than the other faecal determinants in this study

    The study investigated into the relationship between the quality teachers and students academic performance in Sekondi Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly (STMA) Junior High Schools. Descriptive survey design was used and the target population was Junior High School teachers and pupils in the metropolis. Five educational circuits in the metropolis were randomly selected for the conduct of the study. Stratified and systematic sampling techniques were used to sample participants and the sample size was 500. Questionnaire was the main instrument used for the data collection. Pearson Moment Correlation, ANOVA, means, percentages and standard deviations were used to analyse the data. The results of the study showed that even though the quality of teachers was high in terms of their academic and professional qualifications, it did not reflect much in the performance of the students

    The purpose of the study was to determine the perceptions of the stakeholders in early childhood education and their perceptions affect the performance of their roles in the implementation of early childhood education programmes. Parents, community members, early childhood education teachers, members of religious organisations and Non-Governmental Organisations formed population of the study. Simple random sampling technique was used to sample the early childhood schools and stratified sampling technique participants in each district. The instruments used for data collection were questionnaire and structured interview guide. Data collected were summarised using percentages, means, standard deviations and Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient The Stakeholder in the Western Region of Ghana have low perception of early childhood education and this adversely affects the performance of their roles to ensure effective implementation of early childhood programmes and policies in the region. There is a relationship between their perceptions and the level of performance of their roles. It is recommended that Religious organizations, District and Municipal Assemblies as well as non-governmental organizations should be encouraged to participate actively in the implementation of early childhood programmes and policies in the regio
