Year 2022 Full Paper [Download] Page: 1- 4
Abstract: Pesticides are chemical formulations that confer protection on plants mostly against harm bypests, Fungi, insects, and herbs. The term also covers the use of disinfectants, repellants, and wood preservers alongside crop defoliants used to protect plants. The usage of pesticides predates the independence of most African states. It is believed that the colonial masters introduced it to the continents (Bertrand, 2019). It is a common practice among subsistence commercial farmers to apply pesticides to their plants to prevent diseases and thus increase crop yield. With the continuous usage, comes a plethora of problems, which are caused as a result of lack of adequate laws that guide the use of pesticides, lack or improper education on the use of pesticides, type of pesticide purchased, and lack of toxic vigilance systems to document poisoning cases amongst others (Bertrand, 2019). Another problem that is seldom talked about or not mentioned at all is the role developed countries play in the use of pesticides in Africa.

Title: Impact of Inclusive Schooling on a Child with Cerebral Palsy: A Case Study
Year 2022 Full Paper [Download] Page: 5-26
Abstract: With the increasing need to enroll children with cerebral palsy (CP) into inclusive schools, the SalamancaStatementlaid a strong legal foundation on the move towards inclusion of every child with Special Educational Needs (SEN) to be educated in mainstream schools (UNESCO, 1994). Similarly, the Ministry of Education, MoE (2012) also embraces the notion of inclusive education (IE) highlighted in the Salamanca Statement. The policy statements indicate that IE has established strong importance in the Bhutanese education system. Further, the philosophy of IE has now become an integral part of educational policy and practice with respect to educating children with special needs (UNICEF, 2013; Carrington & Robinson, 2004;Gifford-Lindsay, 2003).All these development point to the need to include children with CP in the mainstream inclusive schools. However, research on impact of inclusive schooling is limited, and there are few studies focusing on parental support and challenges in inclusive education. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out the impact of inclusive schooling on a child with CP. The study presented here was led by the question of what are the impacts of inclusion of a child with CP in mainstream classrooms could be. The research aims were to (a) explore the above concept on impact of inclusive schooling on a child with CP from the perspective of participants and (b) construct these concepts in a way that is contextually relevant to Bhutan. This study has been carried out within a qualitative method using exploratory case study design based on a child with cerebral palsy. Six participants were selected, and this study was conducted in the Drukgyel Lower Secondary School (DLSS) and Drukgyel Higher Secondary School (DHSS) which are government schools, located in Paro Dzongkhag. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. All the data were collected through face-to face interview by using a semi-structured research question followed by observation and documentation. The participants also received the opportunity to talk and describe their feelings and real facts or incidents. The entire interviews were recorded using an audio recorder and transcribed. Finally, the researcher performed coding and themes were derived from the participants’ responses. Thematic analysis was used and guided by research questions and pattern matching to get the most accurate answers. Findings revealed that participants saw a tremendous impact of inclusive school in improving the child’s academic, social and motor skills despite some of the challenges encountered by different stakeholders in educating the child with CP. They, moreover, mentioned that parental support at home and in the school equally plays a vital role in the child’s education. Therefore, this findings call for parents having child with CP across the country to enhance their child’s skills by enrolling them in school. This paper presents various implications related to policy, practice and research which needs to be addressed at the earliest possible to make impact of inclusive schooling a reality for a child with CP in Bhutan. Recommendations for enriching holistic approaches on the child with CP by the stakeholders and enhancing Bhutanese teachers’ skills and capacity to implement effective methods for inclusive schooling are provided.
