The West Virginia Board of Regents, age 20, statewide governing board for higher education, died June 30, 1989 as a result of legislative termination. Like so many of its progenitors, the Board, an abstraction without constituencies or political proponents, was quietly written out of the State Code. There were no eulogies. In a retrospective search for the cause of death, the enactment, implementation, and termination of the Board were analyzed. The dynamics of the political processes through which the structure of higher education governance was modified during its two decades were documented. The political legacy and challenging cultural bequests of the Board were profiled. A political epitaph for the Regents included the following inscriptions. The governance structure of higher education in the great state of West Virginia is what the governor, the legislature, the campus presidents, and their creation(s), the board(s), perceive it to be. In its finest hours, structuring can be a political coalition, a partnership, dedicated to the public interest, striving for quality, access and excellence. In its darkest days, Structure can become a political target, an object of control, a source of rivalry and competition. Restructuring is a ritual within a highly individualistic political culture which reveres higher education as an instrument of government. Restructuring is invoked when one or more of the partners is shunned or shunted and, as a result publicly reveals that structuring is a political process. Then, structure must be sacrificed to restore trust, to revive public confidence in those entrusted with governance. Restructuring produces a new governance structure and reestablishes a process of structuring. ; Ed. D.

This book documents the political and economic ramifications of the policy impetus for a "science of education" and what this means for classroom teachers, their teaching practices and for the field of education. In a critical exploration of current research and policy articulations of the purposes of education, with attention given to Australia, the UK and the USA, this book delineates the evaluative mechanisms involved in the strategic science as method adoption of accountability, competitiveness and test-driven criteria used in major education policy. It brings together the disciplines of sociology and philosophy by drawing on the theoretical insights of Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu and John Dewey. In addition, the book argues for the deliberate use of the theoretical in education and is against the contemporary unquestioning advocacy that often accompanies a narrowly defined master narrative of a science of education. This book will be of special interest to post-graduate students as source material in general education courses and is also intended for academics with an interest in educational theory/philosophy and the sociology of education.

This study investigated the perception of students in tertiary institutions towards factors influencing gender imbalance in education. Two research hypotheses were formulated. Descriptive research design was used for the study. A total of 1,115 students in tertiary institutions by Rivers State were selected through multi-stage sampling technique. Self-designed and instrument titled Gender Imbalance Inventory was the research instrument used in the study. Face and content validities of the instrument were determined by three experts and the reliability value of 0.68 was obtained using the test re-test reliability method. The inferential statistical techniques used for the data analysis was Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The study revealed that there was no significant difference in the perception of students on factors affecting gender imbalance in education on the basis of age (F13, 1112) = 0.24; P<05). It however found significant difference in the perception of students on factors affecting gender imbalance in education, on the basis of religion (F(2, 1113) = 9.32; P<.05). based on these findings it was recommended that government should make frantic efforts to educate rural and urban girls no matter their socio-economic status. It was also recommended that government should carry out enlightenment programme to sensitize parents and the society at large on the importance of women education.
