The study was carried out to analyze and compare the Secondary Teacher Education Curriculum of Royal University of Bhutan and University of Pune, India. The objectives of the study were to analyze the teacher education curriculum of India and Bhutan in terms of its relevance to the emerging educational context with reference to Indian/Bhutanese heritage, international understanding, teachers’ role, learners’ competencies, latest developments, values, professionalism and national and social concern. Curriculum analysis has been carried out based on the eight parameters of the emerging educational context. A self developed performa was used to analyze different modules offered in secondary teacher education curriculum by Royal University of Bhutan and different papers including Science practical offered in secondary teacher education curriculum by University of Pune, India. The researcher concludes that the curricula of the two universities are not relevant to the emerging educational context since the presence of parameters indicating emerging educational context are not reflected up to satisfactory level in almost all the papers of both the Universities except for teachers’ role, learners’ competencies and technology mediated learning in case of University of Pune, India. The researcher felt the immediate need to address the incorporation of missing parameters in all the papers up to satisfactory level in both the Universities as a means for preparing the future teachers to overcome and face any kind of challenges in emerging educational context.

SHOW PDF
 Education has been recognized as a universal entitlement with every child’s right to education reaffirmed by the UN Convention on the Right of the Child, UNCRC (United Nations, 1989). This principle was translated into the World Declaration on education for All (UNESCO 1990) and in the targets set out in the Dakar Framework for Action (UNESCO, 2000). These targets include ensuring that by 2015 all children have access to good quality primary education, with particular attention to girls, ethnic minorities and children in difficult circumstances. The UNCRC asserts the right of every child to education compulsory and available free to all (Article 28). The Dakar EFA goals are wide–ranging. Some of the goals relating to primary education are that by 2015 all children, particularly girls, children in difficult circumstances and those belonging to ethnic minorities, have access to and are able to complete primary education that is free, compulsory and of good quality. Improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills. Expansion of primary education has been witnessed across the nation, however, there are still continuing concerns about the conditions of many government primary schools and the quality of education provided to them. It has been observed that there is a significant rural – urban divide, with rural schools tending to have poorer resources such as school infrastructure and teaching materials, fewer teachers per school, and higher dropout rates. Of the total primary schools in India without a building, almost 92% are located in rural areas (DISE, 2006:41). The vast majority of small schools in the Indian context are much more found in impoverished rural communities, particularly areas populated by scheduled Tribe (ST), Scheduled Caste (SC), or Other Backward Class (OBC) groups.

SHOW PDF
Audit risk examines the relevant assertions related to balances, classes of transactions, or disclosures contained in misstatements that could be material to the financial statements when aggregated with misstatements in other balances, classes, or disclosures and the risk that the auditor will not detect such misstatements. With the collapse of Enron involving the misstatement of one of the Big 4, Arthur Andersen & Co. in the US and the CMC and Uchumi scandals in Kenya involving the big audit firms Delloitte and PwC, the argument for audits for big audit firms as synonymous with detection of misstatement has become questionable. Despite several studies having been done on overall misstatement risk none of them has addressed pervasive audit risk. The general objective of the study was to examine audit risk assessment and detection of misstatement in annual reports in audit firms registered by RAB in Nairobi County. The study evaluated four audit risk assessment i.e. inherent risk, control risk, engagement risk and detection risk against detection of misstatement. The study adopted a descriptive research design and targeted all the registered audit firms by RAB in Nairobi county.the study employed systematic random sampling and had a sample of 254 firms. Data was collected from primary sources which involved a well structured questionnaire with an average reliability of 0.86. The data collected from the questionnaire was analyzed using SPSS and a regression model so as toestablish whether the application of audit risk models statistically and significantly affects the detection of misstatement in financial statements. T-statistic was used to determine the significance level wherby the null hypothesis was rejected if it’s less then 0.05. A total of 254 questionnaires were administered and 155 were satisfactorily filled and considered for analysis, this formed 78%. The results revealed that the application of audit risk models statistically and significantly affects the detection of misstatement in financial statements. All the four risks tested had a t-test of less than 0.05, thus all the four null hypotheses were rejected. Hence the study concludes that audit risk model reduces the level of fraudulent financial reporting through detection of misstatement in audit practice and relevant recommendations were provided that would enhance the application of audit risk assessment in the audit of financial statement.

With the collapse of Enron involving the misconduct of one of the Big 4, Arthur Andersen & Co. in the US and the CMC and Uchumi scandals in Kenya involving the big audit firms Delloitte and PwC, the argument for audits for big audit firms as synonymous with quality audit has become questionable. Despite several studies having been done on audit quality, none of them has touched on the analysis of audit quality attributes in relation to client satisfaction for the listed companies on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. The general objective of the study was to analyze audit quality attributes and client satisfaction for companies listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange and the study will be significant to the management of the listed companies and the audit firms alongside the scholars who may want to pursue the subject further. The study comprised of all the listed companies on the Nairobi Securities Exchange as at 31st December 2013, they were 60 companies in number. The study reviewed literature on audit qualities which included audit reliability, audit tangibility, auditors assurance, auditors responsiveness and auditors empathy, also auditors experience and auditors independence were reviewed. Client satisfaction, empirical studies and theoretical review were also covered, the literature review finalized with the conceptual framework. The study employed descriptive study design and entailed the 60 listed companies as the population, which was taken as a census because of the small number. Primary data was collected by use of a structured questionnaire by use of drop and pick later. The collected data was analyzed first by use of descriptive statistics; correlation analysis was done to establish the relationship between the dependent and independent variablesand finally a regression analysis was performed on the model to test the hypotheses. A total of 60 questionnaires were sent out of which 49 were respondent to and 41 were satisfactorily filled and considered for analysis, this formed 84 percent response rate. The study found that only two out of five audit quality attributes (i.e., Responsiveness, Assurance, Empathy, Tangibles, and Reliability) were statistically significant related to client satisfaction. Thus the two attributes of tangibility and responsiveness has a significant impact on the client satisfaction.
Key Words: an analysis of audit quality attributes and client satisfaction for companies quoted at the Nairobi Securities Exchange

Engineering education has expanded to enormous dimensions and the statistics are scary to look at. The number of engineering institutes in India and the number of students graduating from these institutes are the highest in the world. But in recent times the placement records are on the contrary. Industries are complaining about spending huge sums on training these graduates who are not industry ready. How can this complaint be solved? Integrating employability skills into the existing engineering curriculum and introducing work integrated learning can pave the way in enhancing the required skills in engineering graduates. In the era of rapid globalization it is high time that these initiatives are taken up by the engineering institutes. To achieve this it is necessary to understand the nature of engineering employability skills framework, teaching and how to integrate them into the curriculum.

Agriculture is the main stay of the people of Maharashtra but it constitutes only 11.4% of the total state income. Forest covers about 16.9% of total land area of Maharashtra. Inspite of all efforts for the development of agriculture in Maharashtra, there is no sign for overall improvement in these sectors. In the present study, six indicators pertaining to agriculture have been selected i.e. net Sown area, area sown more than once, gross cropped area, net irrigated area, consumption of fertilizers and number of electrified pumps, for temporal analysis to find out agricultural development since 1961 till 2011, the study shows that there is no significant change in the net sown area due to landscape of the region. However, there is little change in gross cropped area i.e. 61% (1961) to 75.7% (2011) of total area. The consumption of fertilizers has drastically increased from 0.16 kg (1961) to 30.30 kg (2011) per hectare due to increased in net irrigated area i.e. 6% (1961) to 18.4 % (2011). The number of electrified agricultural pumps has also increased due to financial help and to provide electricity for agricultural purpose on a concessional rate. There were only one pump on 2528 hectares net Sown area but in 2011 there is one pump on half hectares net sown area. Keeping in mind soil fertility and farmers conditions of the region appropriate planning are to be made and implemented with sincerity and honesty to increase the agricultural acreage and output to stop farmers from committing suicide.

The Socio-economic rights are a significant aspect of human rights issues for women. The radical change in recognizing the rights of women to a greater extent has helped to build her own Identity and withstand her rights against all discrimination. This has been revealed in a study undertaken for a long period of time. The women’s feminists’ movement questioned several discriminatory practices ratio against women being practiced. Discriminatory issues with women are hazardous for built up national economy. However, there was a foremost need for revolution to debar the discriminatory practice of status on the ground of gender. And gender based issues are violating the living rights of women in social life and revolution was created by feminist Movement. These movements largely contributed by feminist writing recognized the need to develop the socio-political and economical livelihood among women. Feminist theory emerged from these feminist movements includes general theories and theories about the origins of inequality, economic injustice and unlawful acts in some cases, about the social construction of sex and gender, in a variety of disciplines prevalent in a society. Feminist activists have campaigned for women’s rights as such, in contract, property, equal status and voting, while also promoting women’s rights from human right’s perspective at large. They have opposed domestic violence, sexual harassment and sexual assault, in economics, they have advocated for workplace rights, Reservations in service sectors including equal pay, duty hours and opportunities for careers and to start Entrepreneurships.

All this resulted in increase participation of women both in formal and informal job and service sector. However, the journey to heed her right did not end here; it was the beginning, the beginning to fight for her survival.
