This study investigated managerial deficiencies and teachers’ job accomplishment in public primary schools. It is a correlational survey of ex-post facto design. The population involves fifteen thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven (15, 867) head teachers and teachers of primary schools in Delta state, that is 1,113 and 14,754 head teachers and teachers respectively. Purposive sampling technique was adopted to select 1,586 respondents, representing 10% of the entire population. Self-structured questionnaire titled Managerial Deficiencies and Teachers Job Accomplishment Questionnaire (MDTJAQ) was used to solicit information from respondents. Instrument was validated through face/content validity and thereafter subjected to split-halves reliability using 30 respondents not used for the core study. A coefficient of .76 was obtained showing a high reliability co-efficient. Data obtained was analysed using mean rating and standard deviation to answer research questions with benchmark of 2.50 while hypothesis was tested using Pearson r at .05 level of significance. Finding shows that managerial deficiencies was significantly related to teachers’ job accomplishment. Arising from the findings it was recommended among others that State Universal Primary Education Board should enlighten government on the role of primary school and the need to invest money on primary education for optimum result.

This is an era of technological advancement. New things are springing up daily that needs to be supported with innovative ideas and creativity. Any state that is contented with the status quo is not bound to develop. For rapid development to take place in cities and communities, there is need for a level of disruption. This is the basis and core of the fourth industrial revolution. This paper is based on the fact that every country of the world needs to imbibe the idea of the newest technology with a view to attending to the various challenges facing development especially in Nigerian cities and communities. The challenge of not moving along the newest technological innovations had always led to difficulties in fixing socio-economic problems which eventually inhibit the rate of development in cities and communities and individuals within them. The fourth industrial revolution is not limited to just a group of young people but also adults. Adults should be carried along in the newest technological evolvement through all the laudable programmes of adult education. Technology stimulates creativity which brings about innovation. The fourth industrial revolution which is a combination of earlier technological inventions and revolutions would lead to stimulation of better creativity for sustainable development of cities and communities and of the people. This paper, thus, focused on how integrating technological innovation of the 21st century into adult education programmes would stimulate creativity in community people thereby leading to creativity, innovations and subsequently sustainability of cities and communities. The authors recommend among others that the Federal Government of Nigeria should focus more on adult education which has immediate relevance to the growth of persons, cities and communities in Nigeria. It is also recommended that technological education should be introduced into all programmes of adult education and efforts should be made to remove every hindrance to technical education from every adult learner and education should be made accessible to all while the curriculum of both the formal and adult education programmes should be replete with elements of the fourth industrial revolution so that none will be left out of the new development agenda.

Scholar failure, defined as the insufficient quantitative performance of the students’ potential which impedes them to achieve the minimum parameters stablished by an educative institution, generating in the student a feeling of letdown, and low performance, becoming a prelude to educational lagging and school dropout. The goal of this research was to determine the reasons of academic failure from the student perspective. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, with a non-probabilistic by convenience sampling, 66 students participated on it, who failed on at least one course on the August – December 2019 scholar period. The instrument applied gathers information such as: Name, gender, age, enrollment code, cycle, and the following question: Which do you consider where the reasons for your academic failure? The answers where later classified as follows 1) inherent to the student 2) inherent to the teacher, 3) inherent to the family or the family’s economy 4) inherent to the curricula, and 5) inherent to the institution. Results show that the two main reasons of academic failure from a student’s perspective are inherent to the student (49.5%) and inherent to the teacher (26.6%). These results, allow to determine analysis and opportunity zones that must be addressed to reduce the scholar failure and school dropout rates.

This study examines the effects of Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) in 52 non-native Mandarin learners of Mandarin beginning level learning motivation and the associated factors affecting their learning motivation. Mix method design was applied in the research. Quantitative questionnaire data were analyzed using paired sample t-test to examine the differences between pre-treatment survey and first cycle post-treatment survey, and between first cycle post-treatment survey and second cycle post-treatment survey. Semi-structured interview was conducted to 11 different grade-based learners among the 52 learners in the three stages of surveys to define factors affecting learning motivation. The findings reveal that there was non- statistical decrement in learning motivation between pre-treatment survey and first cycle post-treatment survey (t(51)=1.04, p>0.05), and statistical increment between first cycle post-treatment survey and second cycle post- treatment survey (t(51)=-3.52, p<0.05). The findings of the interview show that learners‟ learning motivation is affected by the application of TBLT, busy schedule and support from Mandarin native speaker. As conclusion, the study indicates that TBLT can increase learners‟ learning motivation in long term application. The study also implicates that TBLT can perform well with sufficiency language input task and Mandarin native speakers‟ support before the output task.
