ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this article is to analyse compliance with barrier measures in the fight against the Covid 19 pandemic in a context where internally displaced school-age children under the weight of forced displacement as a result of conflict crises (Boko Haram) and natural disasters are also forced to comply with barrier measures linked to the fight against the Covid 19 or Zamai Coronavirus pandemic. Method: Qualitative data was collected using standard anthropological data collection techniques, including in-depth individual interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs). An interview guide and a discussion guide corresponding to each of the targets were used to collect qualitative data. Direct observation was used to collect data on the environment of the informants, their behaviour and attitudes, their level of knowledge about the education of displaced school-age children and Covid 19. Discussion: Impoverishment refers to the loss of natural capital, man-made material capital, human capital and social capital. Nine risks or processes are at the root of the impoverishment of displaced persons: not having land, not having a job, not having a house, marginalisation, food insecurity, increased morbidity and mortality, loss of access to public goods and services, fraying of the social fabric and loss of educational opportunities. Conclusion: In various towns in the Far North Region, in this case Zamai, concentration camps have been set up to house IDPs. Initially intended as short-stay camps, most of them are confined there, sometimes for long periods, in generally difficult living conditions.

ABSTRACT
The community learning model is applied as a method for educators and learners to share experiences, challenges, and solutions in teaching and learning foreign languages. Together, they develop knowledge and language skills. This paper explores and proposes a community learning model in teaching and learning foreign languages at some labor export and study abroad companies to enhance the quality of these activities. Through analyzing the current situation of teaching and learning foreign languages and the challenges learners are facing, the study focuses on implementing a learning model based on knowledge and experience sharing among teachers, learners, and support from information technology. The results of analyzing and evaluating 302 teachers and learners on the reliability of the community learning model demonstrate its numerous advantages and high feasibility for enhancing the quality of foreign language teaching and learning activities.

Therefore, educating science through experience is an effective method to encourage curiosity and develop skills of preschool children. Preschoolers enjoy exploring and learning through experience. Experiential approach helps children understand natural phenomena around them in a natural and interesting way. This promotes the development of logical thinking, curiosity, and observation skills from an early age. The experiential approach allows children to engage with the real world, from observing natural events to practicing simple experiments.

ABSTRACT
With the acceleration of globalization, English has become the main language for international communication, and various English exams have also emerged. The International Talent English Examination (ETIC), also known as the National Talent Examination, is a standardized examination that evaluates students' English proficiency. Its implementation has a direct impact on their English learning. On the basis of literature review, questionnaire survey, interview, and classroom observation, this study comprehensively adopts a data analysis method combining descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis to explore the backlash effect of the National Talent Examination on student English learning, that is, to clarify the impact of ETIC on student English learning, and how to promote student learning through exam feedback.
ABSTRACT
The universal basic education programme was designed and lunched in Nigeria in September 1999 by the civilian administration of Olushegun Aremu Obasanjo, with the aim of eradicating totally, illiteracy and equipping its recipients with the requisite skills, attitudes, norms, as well as providing an all-round educational opportunity for all, as this will not only assist the individual to be useful to himself, but also contribute meaningfully to the sustainability of social, political, economic and educational development of the Nigerian society. Thus, this paper is predicate on the need to re-crafting the Universal Basic Educational programme (UBE), so as to avert it from failing as that of Universal Primary Education of 1976 did, which was evident on poor funding, inadequate facilities, inadequate staffs or lack of manpower, as well as poor personnel motivation. Etc. hence, the paper seeks to proffer strategies on how to re-craft the UBE programme for a more advanced and competitiveness amongst comity of nation. Thus, the paper examined the background/origin of the UBE programme, objectives of the universal education programme, problems confronting the UBE programme as well as its implications. The paper concluded by admonishing the federal government with the strategies needed for a successful implementation of the UBE programme in Nigeria while also recommending that the Nigerian society should do away with both the British and American system of education, to adopt that of a practical and technologically inclined system of education like China, Japan and other industrialized nations of the world.
