Abstract: India is one of the third largest higher education systems in the world after the United States and China. It has been witnessing a healthy growth in its number of institutions and enrollment in the last few decades to nearly 22 million students in more than 46,000 institutions (Agarwal, 2006; University Grants Commissions, UGC, 2013; RAND, 2013). The Indian higher education comprises of 33,657 institutions, made up of 634 universities and 33,023 colleges; it is the largest higher education system in the world. Higher education indicators are measured by gross enrollment ratios of different countries (Trow,1973). India’s Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) of 15 per cent with an increased focus on increased number of institutions and enrollment, India is still below the world’s average. With the systems rapid expansion there has been an increased concern of quality, quantity, infrastructure, institutional governance, public funding in higher education (Altbach, & Knight, 2007, UGC, 2013).

Abstract: Corporal punishment is a debated issue among school officials. This form of discipline has proven ineffective in preventing undesirable behaviors in students due to the negative physical and psychological effects on individuals throughout their lives. Often, progressing repercussions of aggressive behavior and increasing negative mental-emotional behaviors are influenced by the students' receipt of corporal punishment. While the adverse outcomes of corporal punishment are apparent, this method of discipline remains current in close to half of the states in the U.S., predominantly in the southern region of the country. In fact, corporal punishment is still being used on children with disabilities for their behaviors that stem from their disability. Data revealed that corporal punishment is declining in the U.S. Advocates are still at work, attempting to ban this ineffective method of discipline from all school children. This examination analyzes statistical data in the Southern U.S. from 2012-2022 among the overall student population and children with disabilities. Alternative positive ways to discipline children are the best option and are also discussed in this study.

Abstract: Given the current psychosocial situation of orphans in Ethiopia, their particular experiences attract less attention of researchers and humanitarian organizations, governments and general communities. Therefore, the major purpose of the present study was to investigate the psychosocial experiences of orphan children in Pinyudo town in Gambella Regional State. In order to achieve the objective of the study, phenomenological research design was employed. In this study, 16 orphan children were involved. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select the participants. Semi-structured interview and focus group discussion were used to collect the relevant data. The data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis approach. Trustworthiness was confirmed for ensuring the rigor of the findings by using confirmability. The findings of the study suggested that orphan children faced a number of psychosocial problems. Grievances, sorrows, isolations, despondencies, mourning and over thinking both during and after death of their parents were the major problems reported by orphan children.
