Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a pivotal role in all necessary fields of the people, particularly those of the weaker sections of the society. It cannot be denied that some of the NGOs have been working for the cause of deprived people in almost all areas of deprivation, especially for their health and education. However, the maximum number of NGOs, the so-called non-profit organizations, has been involved in promoting their own interest rather than of the society. At this point, it is needed to examine the role of selected NGOs in tribal education from their viewpoints. This paper is based on study of the NGOs in imparting education to the tribal students.

The aim of this research work was to study the attitudes, knowledge and concerns of teachers towards inclusion of students with disabilities in a regular classroom. The researcher however explored the relationship between the variables as well. The sample comprised of 100 higher secondary school teachers of which 50 were employed in Central schools while 50 were employed in Private Schools of Agra region only. Cross-sectional research method was adopted to collect and analyze data. The tool comprised of a four-part questionnaire that includes background information and three measurement scales on attitudes, knowledge and concerns of teachers, viz (i)ATIES (Attitudes towards Inclusive Education Scale, Author Felicia Wilczenski, Year: 1992) (ii) CIES (Concerns about Inclusive Education Scale, Author; Sharma & Desai, Year:2002) and (iii) Knowledge questionnaire (Author: Pottas, Year: 2005). The results indicated that teachers of both the schools displayed favorable attitudes, high level of knowledge and lower concerns towards inclusion of disabled students. It was evident that attitudes and knowledge were positively related to successful inclusion while concerns were associated with the extra burden to be experienced for inclusion. Thus, it is important to organize awareness programs on inclusion for school teachers to reduce their worries and concerns. Democratic education will only be successful with positive attitudes of teacher, good knowledge of inclusion methodology and lowered concerns.

Vocational choice refers to an occupation, which a person has followed for a period of years in which he/she is generally recognized to have become fairly an expert through experience. Vocational choice decision making is not an easy task, yet at one time or the other, individuals are faced with the task of making a choice of career, preparing for it and start making progress in it. The study investigated factors influencing vocational choice of senior secondary school students in Ilorin metropolis. Two hundred senior secondary school students were randomly sampled from ten randomly selected senior secondary schools in the metropolis. A self-developed instrument titled “Factors Influencing Vocational Choice Questionnaire” (FIVCQ) was used to collect relevant data from the respondents. The instrument was developed on a 4 point Likert scale of SA, A, D, SD, which has subscales of parental, personal/social and school related factors within 10 items each. The instrument was validated, pilot tested and the reliability coefficient ascertained its reliability. The main finding of the study revealed that “Personal/Social Factors” was expressed to be the highest factor influencing senior secondary school students’ vocational choice. Other factors as expressed by them are “School and Parental Factors”. It was therefore recommended that school counsellors at all educational level should be trained to provide adequate and effective vocational guidance to students. And programmes like career day/week, vocational enlightenment programmes and other guidance programmes that are educative and informative should be sponsored in the school for students’ benefit.

This study focused on the need and importance of teacher training in character education program implementation. Specifically, a correlation quantitative study was done to examine the relationship between professional development and teacher training to character education program implementation. Participants were sent a survey to rate their perception of professional development and their implementation on character education. Data was collected from certified middle school teachers and analyzed using correlation statistics such as frequency distributions, Pearson product-moment coefficient (Pearson r) and One-way ANOVA. The discussion summarizes the findings, and discusses implications relative to the relationship between character education implementation to professional development. The study showed that teachers who understand and have had professional development in character education were more likely to implement character education strategies and skills into the classroom. The study is a step up in the effort of professional development to character education implementation with a goal of contributing to training and equipping future teachers for character education.

This paper examines the emerging challenges facing the higher education sector in Odisha. Low overall access to higher education, glaring spatial and social disparities in enrolment, weak infrastructure, poor quality of education and research, chronic faculty shortage and downsizing of state funding have been identified as the major challenges. Policy changes concerning higher education and the practice of pravatisation have complicated the problems rather than solving them. Active state participation, effective implementation of positive discrimination policies and ensuring accountability at all levels have been suggested to undo the damages done to higher education in the state.

The present study addresses to an imperative fundamental goal i.e. everyone wants to live in happy, healthy and fulfilling ways. Health and well-being do not belong to books and newspapers rather it belongs in our everyday life, where it can matter so much. Cultivating its components should be an important goal for allparents, educators, citizens and in particular youth as these goals are fundamental human desires and rights. Hence, within vicinity of Positive psychology, the first generation of research arrived as an identification of authentic happiness theory (the pleasant life, the good life, the meaningful life). The second generation of research draws closer to the notion of well-being as it refers to both, a person’s state of happiness and health. Thus, the present study is at an advanced league of the second generation of research where in an effort is made to reflect and utilize positive psychological tools i.e. positive belief, positive education and positive nutrition which if cultivated and imbibed would help pave way towards health promoting behaviour, life satisfaction and well-being.
