Free and compulsory primary education should be encouraged in Africa because primary education is the foundation - stone of the other levels of formal education and it is, therefore, the springboard to economic and social advancement. No nation can meet the challenges of the modern world of science without formal education. The education of the child begins at the primary school, since most families do not not have the opportunity of sending their children to nursery and kindergarten schools, therefore, free and compulsory primary education should be encouraged in Africa.
   Primary school education  is quite indispensable in the life of the child. It is in the primary school that the child learns to associate with the members of his peer group other than those of his immediate home and family environment. He is exposed to learning situations in which the agents of instruction are adults who may not be related to him. It is in this way that the child learn to associate with others and this helps him to develop appropriate adaptive behavior in later life. The primary school must be seen as an important agent of socialization. Therefore, to deprive a child of the experience of primary education is to make him a social misfit.
   The primary school provides most African children with the first formal contact with formal education. It is in the primary school that the child learns to read and write. He is exposed to various school subjects that help to sharpen his intellect and shape his attitude. To deny a child the right to primary education is to deny him the right to survival.
   The Constitution of Africa must make provision that every citizen has the right to education. The nation cannot operate an authentic constitution if certain constitutional provisions are recklessly contradicted. Making primary education optional for African children is a reckless contraction of the Constitution that must not be condoned. The child of today is the father of tomorrow. The education African children, which must begin must begin in the primary school, is the country's only hope for social and economic emancipation. If Africa  must perform the leadership role which other continent expect from her, certainly, primary education must be made compulsory for all her children.

Why kids run away

Why Kids Run Away Remember how you felt the last time you got in a big fight with your parents or one of your brothers or sisters? That kind of anger and hurt can be what pushes someone to run away from home.These are problems faced by lots of kids and teens — and there are ways to deal with all of these problems besides running away. Kids who think about running away might not know how to solve tough problems or don't have adults to help them. Sometimes a really big problem can make it seem like running away is the only choice. Unfortunately, the problems kids hope to escape by running away are replaced by other — sometimes even bigger — problems of life on the streets. When you think about running away, you probably imagine that there will be no more rules, no parent to tell you what to do, no more fights. Sounds great and exciting, right? In reality, running away is anything but fun. Kids and teens who run away face new problems like not having any money, food to eat, a s...

THE RIVER CROSSING.

It is no military secret that an opposed river crossing operation is difficult even under ideal conditions. But without adequate standard equipment and with a poor level of training of soldiers and officers, it could become impossible. But the Army Headquarters and Supreme Headquarters had strongly advised against embarking on an opposed river crossing because of inadequacy of equipment and deficiency in the training of troops for such a semi-specialist operation. The Supreme Headquarters had advised on unopposed crossing while the division passed through 1 Division's secure position to capture the town. The Division commander decided to take a grave and calculated risk that could be called bravado. But if the operation had been successful, as it nearly was, it would have been one of the most praiseworthy operations of the entire war. In the end, it failed and the commander had to take the blame for it.     The first landing, in which the Division Commander himself took part,...

HERNIA

Hernia occurs in an individual when part of the intestine pushes through the wall of the abdomen and appears as a bulge at the site. There are many sites where hernia can occur, although the commonly encountered type is that found in the groin. This type of hernia is known as femoral or inguinal hernia. Hernia may occur on the navel or near it. The hernia which occurs on the navel is called umbilical hernia, while that which occurs close to it is known as paraumbilical hernia. These two types of hernia are less common than the femoral type.   Groin hernia occurs more commonly in males, but can also occur in females in a few cases. In this kind of hernia, there is a weakness in the abdominal wall in the groin region about midway across the groin. It may appear on either side or, sometimes on both sides. A good sign is that swelling increases, initially it can be pushed back manually into the body. Later on, it gets bigger still and lies almost permanently outside the body, especi...
