Issues concerning morality and moral development have become a source of concern to all and sundry in Nigeria today. Due to the high level of moral decadence in our society today, one begins to question the nature, contents, theory and practice of our education. Some scholars have established the links between what we experience in the society and what education had given to its products. Of course scholars and educationists have hinged the incidence of moral decadence on our educational practice.

The effectiveness of a library as a facility for education is determined by the success to which the library is able to provide and satisfy users’ information need.

The purpose of the study is to identify the facilities available, reasons why the students use e-library, how often are its uses and the challenges the students encountered in the course of accessing e-library. The research design for the study is a descriptive survey. Four research questions guided the study.
The study investigated the effects of laboratory work and field work practical teaching strategies on academic achievement of senior secondary school biology students. It also investigated the effects of attitude and gender on the measure outcome. A quasi-experiment pre-test post-test control group design was adopted in which treatment (at four levels) was crossed with attitude (at two levels) and gender (at two levels).

During the past four decades, there has been an increased involvement of the federal government of Nigeria on the nomadic education programme. The rationale for the government’s participation was to integrate the nomads into the mainstream of the Nigerian society. This objective is far from being accomplished considering the incessant conflicts between the host farmers and nomadic pastoralist which resulted in loss of lives and properties in recent times.
One of the goals of university education is to build on desirable informal family values and norms acquired by the student from the home. Unfortunately, some students from broken homes have not been able to acquire such values, and so they experience a complex array of psychosocial health conditions which could influence their academic achievements in school. The study therefore, examined the psychosocial health effects of broken homes on Health Education achievements of undergraduates in the University of Benin.
Rural communities in Nigeria are plagued by attendant underdevelopment characterized by abject poverty and lack or inadequate social amenities such as health facilities, good roads, portable water, schools, shelter etc. However, successive governments in Nigeria mapped-out several programmes in order to bring about rural development but to no avail owing fomarity to lack of involvement of the people concerned in such programmes. It is against this background that this paper examines the role of community development in promoting sustainable rural development in Nigeria.
