You ever look at someone who’s crazy smart , maybe even genius-level thinking, but are constantly stressed about money? Yeah, same. It’s one of those weird contradictions you see all the time: people who are good with books, ideas, or problem-solving, but can’t seem to catch a break financially. Meanwhile, others with no fancy qualifications are out here thriving, buying houses, starting businesses, and living large. So what’s going on? Being Smart Doesn’t Always Mean Financially Smart First, let’s clear one thing up: intelligence and financial literacy are two totally different things. You can be a whiz at science or philosophy and still not know how credit scores, taxes, investing, or budgeting work. Schools teach us how to write essays and solve equations, but not how to manage money in the real world. So unless you grew up around people who talked about money (and how to make it work for you), chances are you had to figure it out the hard way. The Education Trap Here’s ano...

This outline by (New York State Legislature, 1970) may not apply to all institutions but it applies to most of them. The sequence is as follows: There are periods of indefinite duration during which real or imagined grievances build up. The grievances usually build up when students’ experiences in the institutions do not match their expectations.   An attempt is made to reach out to someone who will listen and do something. Unfortunately the person they report to may not have the answers to their grievances and their requests made through the channels get lost in the administrative bureaucracy. This makes students to become frustrated and demand immediate action.  Normal channels are exhausted and communication breaks down. When this happens, emotions replace reason, threats are perceived and fear is felt, and a distrust of verbal reassurances which is superseded by militant language and sloganeering is developed.  Efforts are made by a few hard core individuals to b...

Every organisation is involved in public relations. However, in higher institutions of learning, PR has a critical role to play. Musepa(2003) advances that PR enables a college to maintain a good relationship with its interest groups (publics).  According to Jefkins (1998), employees and customers such as students form key publics of institutions of higher learning. However, Musepa (2003), argues that PR is especially important when dealing with students because they(students) constitute the largest interest group.  In order to ensure that effective mutual understanding exists between an organisation and its external publics, firstly, the relationship among all internal publics is supposed to be very cordial, Farrant (1980). However, this is not always the case. Ghose (1989) observes that “the relationship among members of certain departments, among the heads of certain departments, and at times between certain subordinate members and their departmental supervisors is quite di...

In every educational institution, a close and cordial teacher-student relationship should be cultivated to serve as a useful channel of smooth transmission of knowledge to students. In the act of transmitting knowledge from one to another, the personality of a teacher is an important determinant of the type of teacher-student relationship that is to follow (Farrant, 1980) The single important factor contributing to the dissatisfactions and disappointments among students is that students fail to receive the expected affection and attention from their teachers, lecturers and others in the educational world (Ghose,1989). This view is supported by Singhivi (1972) who states that nearly half of the student population participates in demonstrations as a result of being dissatisfied with their teachers.  A similar argument is further postulated by Lakshmi (2010), who says that there is no appropriate and clear communication between the teacher and the taught, thus making it the greatest c...
