This article identifies classroom management problems, their causes, and possible ways to reduce these problems in primary schools located in Delta State, Nigeria. A total of 600 teachers selected from twelve local government areas participated in this study. Data were collected in a checklist containing 27 items and a two section questionnaire containing 19 items. Three research questions and three hypotheses were formulated and tested using percentage, bar and pie charts, chisquare and analysis of variance at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that common classroom management problems were related to students shouting, calling names, sleeping and talking/engaging in discussion during lessons. Identified causes of these problems were seen as originating in: overcrowded classrooms; parent neglect of the health conditions of children; and an unhygienic and below-standard teaching and learning environment. School location does not significantly influence teachers' views on identified causes and possible ways to reduce classroom management problems in primary schools in Delta State, Nigeria.

This paper examined early childhood developmental experiences as a tool for combating future security challenges in Nigeria. Education is the foundation of civilization over space and time. Thus it is seen by nations wither developing or developed as the main instrument necessary for the achievement of national security. Many nations therefore invest in education with the hope of achieving the needs of the society. Early childhood education is an integral part of teaching children in early life. The exposure of the child to pre-school experiences equips him for the next educational level and even for life. The paper recommends that the curriculum at this stage should emphasize functionalism or worthwhileness. It should consist of a play-based programme that emphasizes a pedagogical approach to education where children will be seen as requiring to learn with manipulative materials that will enhance their learning and also be taught the importance of hard work and dignity of labour. This will help to curtail some of the future security challenges in the country. A package for the early childhood sector was also proposed.

This paper focused on restructuring of primary school health services in Nigeria for a sustainable solution to global pandemics with a view to identifying and addressing the challenges of the program in the primary schools. The study was a descriptive survey guided by 3 research questions. The population of the study consisted of 298 teachers and 300 pupils drawn from 30 public primary schools in Edo, Delta and Lagos states in Nigeria. The instrument for data collection was the questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using simple percentages that were presented in bar-charts. The paper reveals that the effects of school health problems are enormous as their effects can result in increased national mortality and morbidity, poverty and national stigmatization. The study concludes by suggesting among other things, the use of health education to teach the child to improve their own health and to realize the part they can play in protecting the health of others in the community. In this way, primary school health services now serves as a sustainable solution to both national pandemics like Lassa fever and other global pandemics like Ebola virus, SARS flu and others. Various recommendations were also made.
