AN EFFECTIVE POLICY FRAMEWORK: A SOLUTION TO MASS FAILURE IN SSCE MATHEMATICS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE
2020Co-Authors: Ibrahim Lawal, Abu Abubakar, Sa'ad AbdulmuminAbstract:The unsatisfactory performance of secondary school students in the senior school certificate examinations most especially in the two core subjects i.e. English Language and Mathematics, have been the concern of many individuals and groups in our country (Nigeria). In fact, Government, Educational Bodies and parents always bemoan the decreasing performance of students in these examinations. The problem of mass failure in English and Mathematics becomes increasingly worrisome especially considering how Governments at all levels are doing all possible to address the issue. This paper therefore, describes an effective policy framework as a solution to the problem of mass failure in senior school examinations. The paper examines the concept of mass failure, causes of mass failure, as well as possible remedies to mass failure. The paper also recommends that Government needs to take a holistic look at our education most especially in secondary school level with a view to resuscitating it from its present distress. Parents should also monitor the activities of their children at home very closely and should not over burden them with household activities since this make them pay less attention to their books

Arthroplasty information on the internet: quality or quantity?
'British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery', 2020Co-Authors: Mt Davaris, Mm Dowsey, Bunzli S, Pf ChoongAbstract:Aims: Total joint replacement (TJR) is a high-cost, high-volume procedure that impacts patients' quality of life. Informed decisions are important for patients facing TJR. The quality of information provided by websites regarding TJR is highly variable. We aimed to measure the quality of TJR information online. Methods: We identified 10,800 websites using 18 TJR-related keywords (conditions and procedures) across the Australian, French, German and Spanish Google search engines. We used the Health on the Net (HON) toolbar to evaluate the first 150 websites downloaded for every keyword in each language. The quality of information on websites was inspected, accounting for differences by language and tertiles. We also undertook an analysis of English websites to explore types of website providers. Results: 'Total joint replacement' had the most results returned (150 million websites), and 9% of websites are HON-accredited. Differences in information quality were seen across search terms (p < 0.001) and tertiles (p < 0.001), but not between languages (p = 0.226). A larger proportion of HON-accredited websites were seen from keywords in the condition and arthroplasty categories. The first tertile contained the highest number of HON-accredited websites for the majority of search terms. Government/Educational Bodies sponsored the majority of websites. Conclusion: Clinicians must consider the shortage of websites providing validated information, with disparities in both number and quality of websites for TJR conditions and procedures. As such, the challenge for clinicians is to lead the design of reliable, accurate and ethical orthopaedic websites online and direct patients to them. This stands to reward both parties greatly
