▼ Numerous studies have been done on child sexual violence/abuse (CSV/A). Sexual victimization of minors remains a constant problem globally. Section 28(1) (d) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996 (South Africa, 1996) provides that every child has the right to be safeguard from ill-treatment, desertion, exploitation and degradation. November 2014 marked the 25th anniversary of the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). On this occasion, the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) called on the South African government to once again prioritise children’s rights as a key government agenda, to commit to its obligations under the CRC, to uphold the promise made to South Africa’s children by the late Nelson Mandela, and to heed his powerful words: “History will judge us by the differences we make in the everyday lives of children”. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 community members of Ngangelizwe Township in Mthatha, Eastern Cape province. The interviews were held in the period August 2016 - September 2016. The aim of the investigation was to determine the social, biological, and psychological effects of child sexual offences on children and as well as their parents, families, and the community at large. The study explored the authentic views of Township people, as there is limited scholarly literature on child sexual abuse and particularly on the experiences of Township residents of this atrocious act. Community members shared their views on the effects of child sexual assault, and there was common agreement that the sexual abuse of a child destroys the psychological and physical well-being not only of the child, but also of the parents. Sexually abused children show signs of depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, mental disturbance, and post-traumatic stress disorder. They also lose focus at school and they often isolate themselves from other children. These children lose trust not only in the person who sexually abused them, but in all older people, as it is usually adults who perpetrate this crime. Sexually abused children experience memory loss, always live in fear, and experience anxiety disorders long after the event. Advisors/Committee Members: Mkhize, Sazelo Michael. (advisor).

▼ This dissertation focuses on contemporary Francophone, French, British, and Canadian novels that portray collectives, crowds, and communities in place of individual subjects. These texts shift their focus from the single protagonist or hero onto interactions and relationships between multitudes of beings. The Subject has lost its sovereign individuality by becoming more mobile, less attached to one culture and language, and by loosening its ties to family and place of origin. This project weighs major trends of literary criticism and philosophy that argue that the subject, as an authoritative individual, is dead, against the possibility of a new kind of subject, one that is released from the unified articulation of its identity and free to be determined by the community of which it is a part. Jean-Luc Nancy's philosophical inquiry into community informs my reading of collective subjects in contemporary novels. Following Heideggar, the French philosopher locates existence in "being alongside the other." A community is neither a group of individual beings, nor a greater communal whole, but the space in which singular beings appear collectively and retain their plurality. Foreign languages, foreign genes, and foreign lands mix with the familiar, undoing notions of the homeland, the mother tongue and the human. Kazuo Ishiguro writes novels "for translation" and lifts cultural, historical, and linguistic specificities out of his narratives. Michel Houellebecq's novels capture the tension between an expanding and globalized Western world and the remaining taboos, constraints, and morals in his depiction of the Eastern world. Encounters inside a context of trade, economic growth, and persistent marketing reveal differences and participate in the formation of Eastern and Western identities. Nancy Huston refuses her bilingualism and claims to be "doubly half-lingual" and thus always in the space of encounter between different languages. Driss C. Jaydane is an author of the New Maghreb Novel, which goes beyond the postcolonial issue of assimilation of the colonizer's culture and embraces the globalization of capitalism and universal culture.

▼ Community economic development (CED) appeals to both the left and right wing of the political spectrum for different reasons. While some might find this to be a strength of the movement, it will be argued in this thesis that this may not be the case. CED can be all things to all people. Without some form of ideological analysis, the CED movement risks being co-opted by the right wing status quo forces of our society and fails to be a progressive source of change to address structural issues of inequality and oppression. This thesis develops a CED ideological model that can be used as a lens to inform both CED theory and practice. Case studies of SEED Winnipeg, the Assiniboine Credit Union and the People’s Cooperative will be used to illustrate the potential application of the CED ideological model. A discussion of the definition of CED is initially presented followed by an outline of the analytical tools that are used to develop the CED ideological model and to guide the case studies. This includes an examination of the extent to which a CED approach embraces gap filling or transformative objectives. The construction of the proposed CED ideological model based on class, market and state theory perspectives is reviewed. A modified version of the George and Wilding (1996) ideological framework is utilized including the perspectives of anti-collectivists, reluctant collectivists and collectivists. Feminist, anti-racist and anti-colonial perspectives of the CED ideological model are presented as other key elements that need to be examined within the ideological analysis model. The theory, strategies and impact measurements of CED that informs the proposed ideological analysis is further examined with respect to each of the respective CED organizations involved in the case studies. The thesis concludes with a discussion about the importance for the CED movement to have concrete tools to better analyze the role and impact of ideology on CED theory and practice.

▼ This study was conducted to investigate the nature of community participation in education in a remote district in Cambodia. A case study approach was used to explore the issue and employed mixed research methods for data collection. Epstein‘s participation and Bray‘s degree of community participation were used as analytical frameworks. The study contributes to a wide body of literature in participation in education, but which is under-researched for rural Cambodia. The study focussed on the forms and processes of participation by parents, community members and education stakeholders in primary schools in remote areas. The study discovered a range of social practices in community participation in education. The degrees of participation varied depending on the types of participation and the participants. Parents had direct participation in their children‘s learning at home, and indirect participation through resource contribution for school development. In addition, the community participated in education through their main representatives, the School Support Committees (SSCs). SSCs were found to possess power in the decision-making processes in school and education development. The most common type of participation was collaborative resource contribution for school development. This practice reflected the traditional culture of participation of Cambodian society but there was also a sign of behavioural change to focus more on children‘s learning. Teachers and School Support Committees were the drivers in bringing community and parents to participate in education. They were the facilitators, communicators, network connectors and mobilizers for school and education development. This case study suggests that a shift in focus (on the part of the government, non-governmental organizations and education stakeholders) to support parental involvement in children‘s learning, rather than the traditional resource mobilisation, may better promote children‘s learning. Further research on parental involvement in children‘s learning could be conducted. Advisors/Committee Members: Stupples, Polly.

▼ South Africa is faced with socio-economic challenges of poverty, unemployment, health issues, drug abuse and many more. Stakeholders such as public, private sectors as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are trying to address some of these socio-economic challenges. For example, the public sector has initiated amongst other programs, an Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP) to create job opportunities specifically for semi-skilled and unskilled people, private sector is offering learner-ship opportunities to newly qualified students in order to gain work experience and NGOs have initiated various community based programs where community members are assisted to make a living and being cautioned about health and other issues through awareness campaigns. This research has been initiated to try and address skills shortages that could reduce unemployment and further assist community members to make a living through starting their own businesses. The researcher has identified schools as one of the community resources that could be used to teach basic skills in the communities as schools have human and physical resources that could be utilized to teach these skills. For this research specific school subjects in particular have been identified as having the potential of transferring the theory that is taught in schools into skills which could be taught to community members. The community skills development program was a proposed tool and if is set up could try and address the skills shortages in communities. The research has been conducted focusing on school teachers teaching specific subjects as well as community development practitioners. The majority of research participants’ responses were positive about the setting up of a skills development program. Benefits for community members such as employment which could reduce poverty, crime and drug abuse were highlighted while challenges such as funding and availability of facilitators were also mentioned. A further study has been recommended to continue with specific processes of setting up this skill development program.

▼ Attend any public meeting in Taranaki and, more often than not, one will hear the word ‘community’ used to bolster a policy proposal, or oppose it. But when that happens, what exactly is meant by ‘community’? Taking advantage of her position as an embedded participant, the author of this thesis set out to understand what ‘community’ means to those who occupy roles of influence in decision-making settings in Taranaki, Aotearoa- New Zealand. To the study’s informants and participants, a deceptively simple question was put: ‘what do you understand by ‘community’?’ The set of techniques used to elicit responses to this question was William Stephenson’s Q Methodology. Data collection began with 29 informant interviews from which 45 statements representative of what is understood by ‘community’ were extracted. Those statements were rank-ordered by 35 participants generating 47 Q sorts (the mechanism by which each viewpoint was captured). Using PQMethod 2.35, a three-factor solution generated through principal components analysis and subjected to a varimax rotation was selected for further analysis. The interpretation of the results substantiated three somewhat highly correlated, yet nuanced perspectives where ‘community’ is: ▪ ‘Everyone and we’re all in this together’ (Factor 1), ▪ ‘Well... it depends’ given the multiplicity of interests (Factor 2), and ▪ ‘It’s everything’ (Factor 3). The primacy of relationships and expectations to contribute to where one lives provide the basis for consensus. The nuance is in the scope and reach in terms of who counts, what matters and why it is important at a given point in time. The subsequent discussion noted there is still no agreement on a definition of ‘community’ and its malleability in meaning makes ‘community’ useful for furthering political interests. Its use in the community governance settings of this study reflects the pragmatism of everyday life. ‘Community’ is affirmed as a concept that frames policy discourse. This study also identifies ‘community’ as a practice and as a way of governing that frames policy responses where the basis for ‘community’ is as: ▪ A preference for face-to-face interaction and usually over a cup of tea (Factor 1), ▪ A strategy of enabling that is realistic and pragmatic (Factor 2), and ▪ An account of the integrated connections to places, with people and to events across time and space (Factor 3). The study opens up new ground as the collection, analysis and interpretation of first- person, vested responses from those ‘doing’ ‘community’ in community governance settings is missing from the scholarly and practitioner literature. This study forms a bridge in an identified gap between those who theorise in the political philosophy of ‘community’ and those who advocate in the political practice of ‘community’. Furthermore, the three perspectives identified and discussed in this study also lead to a proposition that the phrase ‘governing communities’ would be a more apt and authentic alternative to ‘community governance’. Such a development is… Advisors/Committee Members: Ryan, Bill, Scott, Claudia.

▼ This research is focused on Community Workers located in Southern Ireland, and their understandings and practices of resistance. It is an attempt to explore the ways in which community workers’ understandings and practices of resistance are formed and, in turn, inform their sense of identity and their responses to the wider context of community development work in Ireland today. This study is specifically located but also has wider application and relevance because of the extended international reach of neo-liberal and managerial rationalities, and their implications for politics, policy and practice. The study considers resistance in a number of inter-related ways: as a collective oppositional position (with negative and positive dimensions); a personal and/or professional value (associated with the ‘expansion of contention’); a strategy for negotiating unequal power relations (in a range of levels and spaces of power); an identity (in relation to the sustaining of ‘reflexive subjectivities’); a set of practices, (which take into account the interplay between economic, political and cultural influences); and an educational process through which practitioners assess and enact personal and professional agency. Critical theorisations of community development and of the Irish state over time, trace the ways in which neo-liberalism and managerialism has inflected community development practice and the positions of community workers and communities in that process. The study draws on James C. Scott, Gramsci, Barnes and Prior, among others, which enabled the interrogation of resistance in relation to everyday practices through engaging with ‘hidden transcripts’ and spaces. The method chosen was focus group discussions with three groups of community workers located in different counties in Southern Ireland. This method facilitated a deep discourse analysis of practitioners’ encounters with resistance in the field of community work. Key findings relate to the various interpretations of the role of resistance, practices of resistance (including current restrictions), the value of resistance work and the conditions that may be conducive to practising resistance.

▼ The term sustainability is one that has been critiqued as a buzzword which, although popular, holds very little meaning. The same is now being claimed with regard to the term resilience. This research seeks to understand community members’ interpretations of the terms resilience and community resilience in response to the Wellington City Council's adoption of a resilience focused outlook. These plans assert that building the city’s resilience is a collaborative responsibility, inclusive of both the community and Council. With a wealth of meanings connected to the term resilience, it is important to understand the communities’ understandings and expectations of the resilience building process. Joseph (2013) has critiqued the resilience literature, highlighting that it may be used as a way for governing institutions to reduce their responsibilities and instead put the responsibility of community resilience onto community members. As a second research focus, this study explores participants expectations of both their and the Council’s roles in this process. Using a case study of Wellington City community gardens, this research looks at how the current community led initiatives influence community resilience. Corroborating lessons learnt from pre-existing literature, participants drew from a range of meanings to define the word resilience. Understandings of the term community resilience were much more cohesive. Participants highlighted an appetite for driving the process of community resilience while designating a role characterised by support for the Wellington City Council. The case study of Wellington City community gardens exposed that the initiatives contribute to community resilience through the enhancement of bridging and linking social capital as well as through providing access to human resources, such as skills, knowledge and networks. Although community gardens also provided some physical resources i.e. produce, land, buildings, tools, etc., this area still requires further development.

▼ This study was conducted to investigate the perceptions of stakeholders towards community schools. It assessed the impact of community schools on communities in Kasempa District and examined the attitudes of various stakeholders towards community schools in the District. The study mainly used the qualitative design which is interactive in order to come up a detailed,accurate and factual account of the perceptions and attitudes of stakeholders. The study thus used instruments and techniques such as focused group discussions, one to one interviews and both structured and non-structured questionnaires so as to capture in-depth information. The data collected was pre-coded and arranged according to themes that emerged in the course of the study to meet the objectives of the study. All focused group discussions and interviews were tape recorded for the purpose of verbatim transcription during data analysis. Findings of the study were described under three themes namely: Views for establishment of community schools, Impact of community schools, and Attitudes of stakeholders towards community schools. The study revealed that community schools in Kasempa were established to create school places and reduce distances between home and government schools; the schools were liked because they made it possible for most children in the Kasempa communities to have access to education, but community schools were also disliked because of poor infrastructure; the expectations of stakeholders were that community schools would help the children to complete their education, get white collar jobs or become self reliant; and that unless the government comes in, the sustainability of community schools was in serious doubt due to the local communities'lack of capacity to maintain the school buildings and pay teachers. % With regard to impact of community schools on the local communities, it was found that ; If: enrolment and attendance had increased; a good number of children were able to read and write;ii community school going children's behaviour had generally improved; and there were playing if ; fields, wells and adult literacy (shibukeeni) classes being conducted in the community schools. The findings further revealed that the attitudes of stakeholders towards community schools were initially positive although eventually attitudes began to become negative due to lack of adequate external support and government encouragement; most stakeholders suffered from an inferiority complex arising from the many challenges associated with community schools. The community members running the schools were very poor, they could not provide everything needed for quality education. Although community schools had been sighted as a positive alternative to increasing access, the task of operating the schools was found to be too burdensome for the community members; the Member of Parliament (MP) and the local political leaders (Ward Councillors) paid very insignificant attention to problems in community schools. The DEBS office did very little…

▼ The UK government launched the first Community Energy Strategy on the 27th January 2014, which highlighted the importance of community energy development in meeting the 2050 climate change target. This study investigates the link between community ownership and local support of renewable energy in order to prescribe bespoke public communication strategies that lead to widely accepted recommendations for community energy policy frameworks and contribute toward the aforementioned energy security and climate change targets. Studies from the literature showed that public support of renewable energy projects was high. However, this trend was reversed and acceptance was low when the proximity of the projects was local to the publicsâ€™ households. Meanwhile, further studies revealed that offering community ownership, community involvement and community benefits to local residents could have a positive influence on social acceptance of the project; this link between ownership, involvement and benefits with social acceptance were investigated in this research. A mixed-methodology approach, which included survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and members of the local community, was employed at three different solar photovoltaic (PV) energy projects located at Wedmore, Berwick and Woolbridge in the UK, where comparisons were made between three different ownership models: 1) 100% community ownership, 2) shared ownership and benefits, and 3) private ownership with community benefits, respectively. The three aforementioned factors were specially investigated: community ownership, community involvement and community benefits, which revealed that all three had a positive influence on the support from local residents. In terms of community ownership, the three main criteria that impacted their level of support included: 1) producing energy locally i.e. local electricity production, 2) benefiting the community and 3) having community ownership. Four main types of involvement were identified that positively affected support: 1) investing in shares, 2) helping the board of directors, 3) attending council meetings to express opinions about the project and 4) attending community meetings to receive information on the project in addition to being regularly informed on the project status. Regarding community benefits, both direct and indirect benefits, which included financial community funds and reducing community carbon footprint respectively, were identified and linked to positively affecting the level of support by local residents. Meanwhile, for those residents who were initially against renewable energy developments, community ownership and benefits were more likely to make a positive impact on their opinion, particularly if reducing household energy bills was one of the benefits. By contrast, active community involvement had the least influence on residents who were against renewable energy developments, but regularly informing local residents showed a positive influence on local support.

▼ Community engagement, which can be difficult to define, is an imperative part of policing as an obligation has been placed upon the police, in the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (Home Office, 2004), to engage all sections of the community in order to discover their particular needs and priorities. The process of engaging all members of the community can be difficult for the police, as some members are more difficult to reach than others. This study evaluates the process of community engagement between the police and adults with learning difficulties across South Wales. The findings provide a rich understanding of the engagement process and recognises the value and importance of good quality engagement to adults with learning difficulties and the professionals who support them on a daily basis. Adults with learning difficulties can face incidents of hate crime on a regular basis, with very few victims willing to approach the police in order to report such crimes and incidents. The research was undertaken in two stages, stage one participants included professional support workers, and stage two participants were adults who have learning difficulties. Findings indicated that the sample of adults with learning difficulties who participated in the study regularly suffer from a variety of hate crime and incidents on a daily basis, however opportunities for them to engage positively with the police were not evident throughout the entire research area. Pockets of good practice were discovered where individual police officers actively engage this section of the community. The findings also suggest that the majority of participants welcome engagement with the police and the opportunity to discuss their needs and opinions. The findings from the research informed the construction of an engagement model that can be used by the police and/or other agencies who wish to proactively identify and engage potentially vulnerable people. Issues such as the under-reporting of hate crime, recognising hate crime and the involvement of other agencies were also significant within this thesis.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa embarked on an ambitious program to rehouse the informally housed poor. These initiatives were formerly called the RDP and later the BNG programmes. This was aimed at improving the living conditions of the urban poor and consequently their health and poverty status. These low-cost houses were quickly augmented by backyard shacks in almost all settlements. The present study is an epidemiological assessment of the health and sanitation status of inhabitants of specific low cost housing communities in the City of Cape Town as contrasted with those occupying ‘backyard dwellings’ on the same premises. The study was undertaken in four low-cost housing communities identified within the City. A health and housing evaluation, together with dwelling inspections were carried out in 336 randomly selected dwellings accommodating 1080 inhabitants from Tafelsig, Masipumelela, Driftsands and Greenfields. In addition, the microbiological pollution of surface run-off water encountered in these settlements was assessed by means of Escherichia coli levels (as found by ColilertTM Defined Substrate Technology) as an indication of environmental health hazards. The study population was classified as ‘young’ - 43% of the study population was aged 20 years or younger. Almost a third of households were headed by a single-parent female. In all four communities combined, 47.3% of households received one or other form of social grant. At the time of inspection 58% of the toilets on the premises were non-operational, while all the houses showed major structural damage - 99% of homeowners reported not being able to afford repairs to their homes. In 32% of dwellings one or more cases of diarrhoea were reported during the two weeks preceding the survey. Five percent of the participants willingly disclosed that they were HIV positive, while 11% reported being TB positive (one of them Multiple Drug Resistant TB). None of the HIV positive or TB positive persons was on any treatment. The E. coli levels of the water on the premises or sidewalks varied from 750 to 1 580 000 000 organisms per 100 ml of water - thus confirming gross faecal pollution of the environment. Improvements in health intended by the re-housing process did not materialise for the recipients of low-cost housing in this study. The health vulnerability of individuals in these communities has considerable implications for the health services. Sanitation failures, infectious disease pressure and environmental pollution in these communities represent a serious public health risk. The densification caused by backyard shacks also has municipal service implications and needs to be better managed. Policies on low-cost housing for the poor need realignment to cope with the realities of backyard densification so that state-funded housing schemes can deliver the improved health that was envisaged at its inception. This is in fact a national problem affecting almost all of the state funded housing communities in South Africa. Public health and urban planning need to… Advisors/Committee Members: Barnes, J.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In developing countries the increasing number of the aged are often viewed as a problem. In particular, the indigent elderly residing in poor urban areas are at risk of becoming marginalised and underserved. The Western Cape has the third largest elderly population in proportion to the total population in the country. Social assistance in the form of a monthly pension is paid out to all elderly who pass a national means test carried out by South African Social Security Agency (SASSA). An assessment of the characteristics and health status of the elderly collecting old age pensions living in low-income urban poor communities in the City of Cape Town was carried out at pension pay points across four communities, i.e. Gugulethu, Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain and Bonteheuwel. In community health surveys, choices regarding the methodology have to be made that can have profound effects on the study design and study outcomes. The milieu of the present study is one of urban poverty and specifically those urban elderly who qualify for non-contributory pensions (also called social cash transfers or government grants). The paucity of existing community-based studies on old-age pensioners in the City of Cape Town meant that a cross-sectional survey with wide-ranging coverage of demographic, social and health factors was the most logical design to employ in order to determine the extent of present needs and generate hypotheses for further controlled studies. A systematic random sample of 703 elderly was drawn at nine pension pay-out points in Cape Town Metropole. No pensioners refused to participate in the study. Structured interviews were carried out covering demographics, number of dependents, living conditions, socioeconomic circumstances, health status and needs and utilisation of health services. A reported 43% of participants lived in shacks and 88% reported regularly eating less than 3 meals a day. Eighty-seven percent of respondents reported waiting 3 hours or longer for medication at a clinic while 90% reported being dissatisfied with the service at their clinic. Fifty-eight percent of pensioners reported not being able to see well while 83% did not know where to get their eyes tested. Almost 70% of pensioners said that they have been ill-treated by a family member and 64% scored as severely depressed on the geriatric depression scale. In this study, 266 pensioners solely supported 471 children of which 65 (14%) were disabled children. In 95% of cases the pensioner does not receive any support from the child's parents. The study found that the elderly on a state grant had considerable unmet health needs and required assistance with activities of daily living. The indigent pensioners in this study bore a huge duty of care for minor children as custodial grandparents while not receiving a high level of health support themselves.

2001 m. gruodžio 12 d. Tarybos reglamentas dėl Bendrijos dizainų (EB) Nr. 6/2002 įvedė naują teisinį instrumentą – Bendrijos dizainą. Prieš tai esminiai dizaino teisės aspektai buvo suvienodinti 1998 m. spalio 13 d. Europos Parlamento ir Tarybos direktyva dėl teisinės dizaino apsaugos 98/71/EB. Šie teisės aktai numato du Bendrijos dizainui keliamus reikalavimus: naujumą bei individualias savybes. Abu kriterijai nėra vienareikšmiai, jų taikymas inter alia reikalauja atskleisti ir kitas Reglamente nedetalizuotas teisines sąvokas: informuoto vartotojo, dizainerio laisvės, bendro įspūdžio. Neaiškūs kriterijai lemia nevienodą tiek Vidaus rinkos harmonizavimo tarnybos, tiek EB teismų praktiką, kas savo ruožtu sąlygoja skirtingą dizaino apsaugos lygį Europos Sąjungos mastu. Šiai problemai išspręsti reikia nagrinėti tiek Tarnybos, tiek teismų praktiką ir nustatyti, kokių kriterijų aiškinimas skiriasi ar sutampa, bei kaip tokios sampratos atrodo doktrinos kontekste. Magistro darbe nagrinėjami dažniausiai pasitaikantys Bendrijos dizaino pripažinimo negaliojančiu pagrindai. Toks pasirinkimas nulemtas aplinkybės, kad negaliojimo pagrindai apibrėžia Bendrijos dizaino galiojimo ribas, nes Tarnyba atlieka tik formaliųjų reikalavimų (atitikimo dizaino apibrėžimui bei viešajai tvarkai ir geri moralei) ekspertizę.

Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2002 of 12 December 2001 on Community designs introduced a new legal instrument – the Community design. Before that, the essential legal aspects of design law were harmonized by Directive 98/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 on the legal protection of designs. Regulation provides protection for design which meets two conditions: novelty and individual character. Both criteria are ambiguous in their application, among other things it is required to disclosure other legal concepts which are not elaborated by Regulation: the informed user, the designer's freedom, the overall impression. Due to vague criterions the differences between the Office of Harmonization for the Internal Market and the Community courts’ case law emerges, which in turn determines the unequal levels of protection of Community design throughout the European Union. This problem requires evaluation of both the Office and the courts’ case law in order to determine what requirements are treated different or the same, and moreover, how such concepts appear in context of the doctrine. Master thesis deal with the most common grounds for invalidity of the Community design. This choice is determined by the circumstance, that grounds for invalidity define the limits of validity of the design because the Office only carries out only the examination of formal requirements (compliance with the definition of design and public order and good morals).

▼ The main purpose of this study was to examine the practice and problems of community participation in governmental secondary schools of central zone of Tigray.. To achieve the purpose of the study, descriptive survey design was employed, because it was appropriate to describe what was going on regarding the community participation in school activities. In addition, to quantitative method, qualitative method was also employed to gather a large variety of data and it was substantiating the quantitative data. The study was conducted in five government secondary schools in Central zone (Enticho, Nigste-saba, Aksum, Myknetial, and Yiha Secondary school), purposive, available sampling, and stratified random sampling techniques were employed to select appropriate sources of data. Accordingly, principals, parents and PTA were selected by purposive and available sampling techniques besides teachers and students were selected by using stratified random sampling techniques. Questionnaires and interview were used as primary sources of data whereas document analysis employed as secondary sources. Descriptive statistics like percentage, mean and standard deviation; inferential statistics particularly one sample t-test were used to run the quantitative data obtained from the questionnaire. Finally, the study has come up with the following recommendations that are believed to alleviate the problems faced and improve the practice. the finding has indicated that community participation was affected by a host of factors; like, Lack of commitment of the principal to work with community representative member, Lack of clearly defined role and responsibility of community representatives and parents Lack of competence of the principals on how to participate the community. However, the finding has indicated the existence of a few issues on which parents should focus to help their students learning. It was also observed that parents do not know the different subjects that students are attending and do not guide & help them in doing their home work, and assignments. Similarly parents do not help their children to understand the subject mastery of the lessons at home by hiring teachers. Therefore, the regional bureau, woreda education offices and principals should arrange training and experience sharing to parents and PTAs to enhance community participation. Moreover, the school principals have to take the lead in making the school climate favorable for participation. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr Zenebe Baraki (advisor).
