- The advent of new technologies makes it imperative for library staff to continually improve their skills, to meet user needs and for excellent service delivery. As a result, training and retraining of staff becomes top priority. With research in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) on the increase, libraries serving this population find that the rate of training and the skills needed in anticipation, for the workforce has to increase for them to meet future expectations of their users. This study was conducted to find out the perceived needs of the workforce (librarians and support staff) in STEM libraries on what skills they need for future service delivery. Questionnaires and Interviews were used for data collection. 70 librarians and library officers formed the target population of the study, of which 40 responded. The findings showed that respondents perceived that having a good grasp of future technologies, constant updating of literacy and digital skills as well as training in computer programming and design are absolutely essential skill sets for the future STEM library workforce. The future STEM librarian will need specialized clientele management training for effective service delivery. Formal training in use of computer assisted tools such as Artificial intelligence, immersive technology and others will be imperative for the future STEM workforce. Constant re-skilling and acquisition of critical thinking and computer programming skills will be absolutely essential moving forward. 2 results 2

- " Economics is a core social science subject offered by most science, art and social science students, but the students performance in the subject at final examinations has not been encouraging. This study therefore investigated the relationship of preferential treatment, class size and numerical ability with achievement in Senior Secondary Economics. The study is a survey and a sample of300 senior secondary school students were selected from two local governments of Ogun East senatorial district, using multi-stage cluster sampling technique. Three valid and reliable instruments were used for data collection and these are: The Student Preferential Treatment Scale (SPTS),Numerical Ability Test (NAT) and Economics Achievement Test (EAT). Four research questions were raised and answered in this study. Data collected were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that all the independent variables were positively correlated to the Economics achievement test in Economics. The findings also revealed that the three predictors jointly correlates positively with students' performance in Economics. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that the studen ts-teachers ratio should be improved upon, parents and teachers should assist students to develop their mathematical ability." 1 results 1
- " Educators in Nigeria are relentlessly concerned about the need to improve learners’ academic achievement in core subject areas especially in Mathematics, English Language, Science and Social Studies. This is not only because a higher achievement in these core subjects lay foundation for technical skills, social orientation, numerical skills and skills in written and oral communication which are in short supply, but also because higher achievement is particularly valued in a society which sets high premium on academic success as the panacea ' for entrance into more prestigious occupation. This problem may not exist without some causes. This study therefore looked into some factors (school type, gender of the learner, socioeconomic background of a child and school environmental factors) as they affect academic achievement of learners. Survey design was adopted for the study. Proportionate random sampling technique was used to select 17 private and 17 public schools in three Local Government Areas (Obio- Akpor, Port-IIarcourt and Eleme) in Rivers State. In each school selected, 20 students (10 who attended private alongside 10 students who attended public schools) were chosen. In all 34 schools, 680 students (368 males and 312 females) participated in the study. Six valid and reliable instruments developed by the researchers were used to generate information for the study (Integrated Science Achievement Test (ISAT), Social Studies Achievement Test (SSAT), English Language Achievement Test (ELAT), Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT), Students Socio-Economic Background Questionnaire (SSEBQ) and School Environment Assessment Checklist (SEAC). The ISAT, SSAT, ELAT, and MAT were developed to measure student achievement in these subject areas. Their reliability coefficients kuder Richardson (KR20) were 0.81, 0.79, 0.76, and 0.82 for Integrated Science, Social Studies, English Language, and Mathematics respectively. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (frequency, percentages and t-test and ANOVA.) " 1 results 1
- "Nigerian educators are concerned about the need to improve learners’ academic achievement in core subject areas (mathematics, English language, science, and social studies). Research, however, appears not to have focused on children who attended private primary schools in which other subjects are taught. This gap is what this study sought to examine by looking at how curriculum contents used by public and private primary schools affect learners’ performance. The study adopted the survey design. The population comprised of Nigerian children in junior secondary school 1 (JS1) who attended private primary school and those who did not. A total of 34 proprietors from 17 public and 17 private primary schools, and 680 students participated. These students were traced to their new schools. Five research instruments were used. Results revealed that private primary schools in Nigeria expose learners to extra subjects which are not recommended by the government. Significant differences exist in scores of learners exposed to extra subjects: mathematics exposed (x̅=75.3154, SD=12.98728) and not exposed (x̅=46.1100, SD=18.1); English language (x̅=74.11, SD=14.57) and not exposed (x̅ =53.15, SD=18.56); integrated science exposed (x̅=59.97, SD=15.1) and not exposed (x̅=44.51, SD=171); and social studies exposed (x̅=64.35, S.D=14.45) and not exposed (x̅=56.53, SD=18.03). The implications of these findings to educational practice in Nigeria were discussed. " 1 results 1
