Sikder, Shukla – Early Child Development and Care, 2015
The social situation of development (SSD) specific to each age determines regularly the whole picture of the child's life.

Nashon, Samson Madera; Anderson, David – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
Despite the centrality of the informal manufacturing sector ("Jua Kali") to the Kenyan society and its richness in scientific phenomena, there is no strong link between activities in the Jua Kali and school science. And, although there has been an ongoing public discourse in Kenya to industrialize, this hope is unlikely without…

Sherris, Arieh; Sulemana, Osama Saaka; Alhassan, Andani; Abudu, Grace; Karim, Abdul-Rahaman – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2014
Sociocultural and socio-economic conditions (e.g. subsistence family farming needs) as well as the absence of nearby public schools result in Ghanaian youth, primarily from rural areas, not receiving formal schooling. Because of this, children may never learn to read and write. One solution is a complementary education programme (CEP) that…
