This essay shall analyze the idea of the possibility of education to freedom through democratic institutions and the role of the constitution in this process. The question shall not be considered from an empirical perspective, but from a theoretical perspective. In the first part democratic institutions will be defined in such a way, that it is possible to speak of democratic habit as a necessary component of democracy. The second part shall introduce a concept of State constitution that takes seriously the hope that such a constitution could be the major tool for the education to freedom of citizens. Finally, this paper shall try to make sense of the very idea of democratic participation as education to freedom: firstly by identifying the conditions in which the latter is possible, and secondly by offering a certain definition of freedom. In this context, freedom shall be defined as political autonomy and deliberative power, taking distance both from the traditional liberal definition of freedom and from the traditional republican one, while accepting partially what is something referred to as the (radical) democratic definition of freedom. However, the impact of the latter will be limited by referring to what we may call the constitutionalist tradition. ; O presente ensaio tenta analisar a idéia da possibilidade de uma educação à liberdade por meio de instituições democráticas e o papel da constituição neste processo.

One research question and three research hypotheses were postulated for the study. This study adopted the descriptive survey research design, with a target population comprising 48 senior secondary schools and 474 senior secondary school teachers in Numan Education Zone. Twenty schools were selected by simple random sampling technique, while 10 teachers were selected from each of the schools by stratified sampling technique using sex and class taught as strata, totalling 200 respondents as sample size. The research instrument "Teachers Attitudes towards Teaching Sexuality Education" (TATSE) was adapted from Yakubu, Andrew and Kolawole (2015). The validity of the instrument was carried out by an expert in Guidance and Counselling Department of Educational Foundations, Adamawa State University, Mubi. The reliability of the instrument was carried out in Government Day Secondary School, Mubi using test-retest reliability method and a reliability coefficient of 0.87 was obtained. Data were administered and collected by the researcher on the spot. These were then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean, Standard Deviation and t-test analysis. The result from the findings of this study showed that there was no significant difference between male and female teachers' attitudes towards teaching sexuality education in Numan Educational Zone. It was also noted that there was a significant difference between married and single teachers' attitude towards teaching of sexuality education in senior secondary school in Numan Educational Zone.

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) International Programs Office is a unique organization, in the way of mission and responsibilities compared to other Department of Defense agencies and offices that work in International Programs. International Programs relevance continues to grow as part of the United States Government National Security and National Military Strategies. Being unique and streamlined working at a military Service level has tremendous benefits in executing International Programs for the USMC. Personnel in international programs perform at high levels on behalf of the US Government and are responsible for a multitude of functions and expertise to execute their jobs. The expertise required spans across many disciplines from International Affairs to acquisition and procurement of weapon systems and services for our friends, allies, and partner nations. Through investigation of current Department of Defense (DoD) Certifications there is no certification or training criteria to capture all functions in which the USMC International Programs Office is responsible. For International Affairs the Defense Security Cooperation Agency manages International Affairs (IA) certification for the Department of Defense; whereas, the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics manages International Acquisition (IA) certification. Based on the above the USMC international Programs Office personnel do not seamlessly fit into the current DoD education and certification model. Taking that into consideration and the fact that USMC International Programs personnel do not have a formalized certification, education, and training program; it is critical to develop a service level International Affairs Personnel Training and Education Program in order to provide the tools, skills, and training to ensure employees are prepared to execute their jobs. This project will research and analyze current Department of Defense International Affairs and Acquisition certification criteria and develop an education and training program for USMC International Programs personnel.

Abstract
A growing proportion of individuals adopt family caregiving roles. Family caregivers are the primary providers of long-term care in the United States yet limited federal policy supports exist, despite the known negative impacts of caregiving. There is also limited information about the prevalence of youth/young adult caregivers and the impacts of caregiving at formative ages in the United States. Our objective is to estimate the prevalence of youth caregivers and examine the association of caregiving with educational investments. We use the American Time Use Survey (2013–2019) to identify and describe youth caregivers (aged 15–18) and young adult caregivers (aged 19–22) and compare them with non-caregiving peers. We estimate that there are approximately 1,623,000 youth caregivers and 1,986,000 young adult caregivers, corresponding to 9.2% and 12.7% of these age groups, respectively. However, there is a wide range in the estimated prevalence per year, from approximately 364,000 to 2.8 million youth caregivers and from 353,000 to 2.2 million young adult caregivers, depending on caregiver definition. Unlike adult caregivers, we find that young men and women were nearly equally likely to provide care. We also find that non-White individuals are disproportionately represented as youth caregivers. Compared with non-caregiving peers, both youth and young adult caregivers are less likely to be enrolled in school and, among those enrolled in school, spend significantly less time on educational activities. Considering the association of caregiving among youth/young adults and education, policies supporting youth and young adult caregivers are critical.

This study was carried out to determine public relations activities for improving students' enrolment in technical education programmes in Colleges of Education in Delta State. One research question and a null hypothesis were formulated to guide the study. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. An 18-item questionnaire structured on a five-point rating scale was used to collect data for the study. The instrument was face validated by three experts and a reliability coefficient of 0.80 was obtained with Cronbach's Alpha coefficient method. The population of this study was all 41 technical education educators made up of Dean, Head of departments (HODs), technical education lecturers/instructors, technologists, and technicians in the School of Secondary Education (Technical), Federal College of Education (Technical) Asaba, Delta State. The population for this study was manageable; hence, there were no sampling and sampling techniques in this study. The entire population was used as a sample in the study. Mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research question, while t-test statistics was used to test the hypothesis at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings of this study revealed among others the public relation activities practised by the School of Secondary Education (Technical), Federal College of Education (Technical) Asaba, Delta State technical such as; having open talk-show with basic school pupils, creating awareness of technical education to the community organizations and visiting religious and social gathering to create public awareness on the need for technical education. Consequently, it was recommended among others that Considering that schools of secondary education(technical) in colleges of education are at the forefront of areas where public relations are most intense and the responsibility of public relations is in all stakeholders, pieces of training and seminars should be given to technical education educators (dean, heads of departments, lecturers/instructors and lab technicians).
