“…Results of the Choi & Calero (2012), study showed that students who attend private schools perform better than their counterparts in public schools. Although the reason for this was the unavailability of resources in these schools (Kalagbor, 2016).…”

“…In Spain, an average student benefits more from attending private schools than public schools. They do not only benefits but they outperformed the student in public schools (Choi & Calero, 2012). Factors such as availability of facilities and the extent to which these facilities are put to use, friendly relationship between student and teacher, students' high parental status, teachers prompt supervision among others are factors that positively influence student academic performance in the private schools than public schools (Kalagbor, 2016).…”

This study examined the effects of 3D model of human digestive system (3-DMHDS) on senior secondary school students’ performance in Human digestive system in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. The research adopted a post-test, control group, non-randomized, and non-equivalent quasi-experimental research design. Two intact classes from two secondary schools were randomly sampled based on institutional ownership. The instruments used were Lesson Note (LN), Biology Performance Test (BPT) for data gathering, and 3D-model of human digestive system (3-DMHDS) as the treatment instrument. The reliability coefficient of BPT was determined using the Pearson product-moment correlation and was found to be 0.84. Three research questions and three research hypotheses were formulated for the study. The mean score was used to answer the research questions while an independent sampled t-test at 0.05 level of significant was used to test the hypotheses. Findings show that 3-DMHDS significantly influence the understanding of the human digestive system among students irrespective of their gender and institutional ownership. It was recommended among others that Biology teachers and students should be motivated to use the 3D model for the teaching and learning of the human digestive system among other biology topics.

“…Since then, the ESL rate declined notably, reaching 20 % in 2015. This change is mainly attributed to labour market performance and to the relationship between the economic cycle and school dropout decisions (Choi & Calero, 2018;Petrongolo & San Segundo, 2002). The number of school leavers increases during periods of economic growth and decreases when economic activity falls (Aparicio, 2010;Bernardi, 2012;Fernández-Mellizo & Martínez-García, 2017;Guio, Choi, & Escardíbul, 2018;Lacuesta, Puente, & Villanueva, 2012).…”

“…Mostly, ESL depends on macroeconomic and social contexts (Guio et al, 2018). We take into account the regional youth unemployment rate as an approximation of the general economic context, as there is great evidence for the large impact of youth unemployment on enrolment in post-compulsory education during the last recession (Choi & Calero, 2018;Clark, 2011). In terms of social factors, we make use of the proportion of the population aged 25-64 with at least lower secondary education and the proportion of people 'At Risk of Poverty and Exclusion' (the AROPE index), since social and economic vulnerability increases the probability of dropping out of school (Freeman & Simonsen, 2015;Lavrijsen & Nicaise, 2015).…”

“…With good education, every individual has the capability to get a good job and naturally will be able to improve their status of living. Studies have shown that urban poverty leaves a significant impact to children's development of education where this will lead to education under-performance (Choi & Calero, 2018;Abdullah et al, 2019) This portrays the importance of being efficacious in administering zakat so that the fund can be distributed the best way possible to help many parties in need, especially students. According to Omar (2019) the lack of efficacy in distributing zakat to the asnaf is because the distribution does not follow the priority groups, and this leads to excess zakat.…”

The role of zakat is to help asnaf in Public Universities (UA) specifically in the Universiti Teknologi MARA Kedah Branch. The existence of the zakat unit in UiTM Kedah under the administration of the Zakat, Donation and Waqf or Zakat, Sedekah dan Wakaf (ZASWA) Coordinator in UiTM Kedah has successfully lessened the burden of asnaf through the zakat distribution every semester. The efficacy of the management and the zakat work unit of UiTM Kedah has reduced the burden of the asnaf during the Covid 19 pandemic. Behind this phenomenon, this study aims to highlight the efficacy of the zakat management in UiTM Kedah. The methodology adopted for this study is data collection through an analysis of the document source and through an in-depth interview on the zakat managers appointed to manage the collection and distribution of zakat for UiTM Kedah. The analysis of the data obtained is in the form of the content analysis. The outcome establishes that since the setting up of the zakat unit in UiTM Kedah until today, various forms of assistance have been offered to the asnaf in both financial and non-financial forms. Meanwhile, the good relationship formed with the Lembaga Zakat Negeri Kedah (LZNK) also helps in the effort of strengthening the zakat unit management. The outcome also reveals that the improvement in the collection and distribution has led to the increase in the zakat collection, simultaneously giving a greater opportunity to the asnaf.
