The effects of the no fees schools policy (NFSP) on primary schools enrolment: the case of the Metro South Education District, Western CapeMncwabe, Moses Bonginkosi January 2015 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters in Development Studies in the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies at the University Of Zululand, South Africa, 2015 / In 2006, the National Department of Basis Education (Dept of Education then) put on gazette the “No fees Schools Policy (NFSP) as a demonstration and of its commitment to improving South Africa’s primary education system and envisioning an inclusive society with reduced socio-economic discrepancy. Following itspublicationon the Government gazette, the NFSP was implemented in 2007. However, the backdrop of No Fees School Policy is the UN Millenium Development Goals. Given that South Africa is a member state, to UNand a signatory to the MDGs, it domesticated the MDGs into the South African context to address South Africa’s problems. NFSP was also implemented to correct the negative legacy of the past. This is the backdrop against which this study was formulated. The study explored the no fees school policy (NFSP) and its impact on pimary schools enrolment in the Metro South Educatiuon District of the Western Cape. The study focused on the Metro South Education District of the Western Cape , purposely selecting forty-three participants from ten primary schools consisting of principals, chairpersons of school governing bodies from the schools and children in the identified schools. Senior circuit personnel were also included in thse study.The study used one- on- one interview with principals, chairpersons of school governing bodies and senior circuit personnel while it used survey questionnaires for parents. Following the data analysis, the study determined that though the Western Cape has relatively low levels of poverty as compared to other provinces, access and enrolment to primary education has increased specifically because of the additional policy intervention of providing nutritious food at public ordinary schools in quintile1,2 and 3. It also found the following as challenges namely: the impact of crime, drugs, alcohol and violence in communities around no fee schools, and overpriced school uniforms as a posiibility to deter children from attaining primary education.In respect to the phenomenon of crime, drugs, alcohol and violence in communities around no fee schools, the study recommended that the District and WCED should consider facilitating a forum with its stakeholders namely bthe South African Police Services on crime prevention and safety of schools, learners and educators. In reference to overpriced school uniforms as a possibility to deter children from attaining primary education, the recommendation is for both the District abd the head office of the WCED to consider an urgent investigation into this concern. The purpose of investigation should be multipronged including verification of the existence of this practice, providing corrective measures that prosecute the perpetrators and safeguards parents from being coerced into this unethical practice.

Sistemas de arquivos paralelos: alternativas para a redução do gargalo no acesso ao sistema de arquivos / Parallel File Systems: alternatives to reduce the bottleneck in accessing the file systemCarvalho, Roberto Pires de 23 September 2005 (has links)
Nos últimos anos, a evolução dos processadores e redes para computadores de baixo custo foi muito maior se comparada com o aumento do desempenho dos discos de armazenamento de dados. Com isso, muitas aplicações estão encontrando dificuldades em atingir o pleno uso dos processadores, pois estes têm de esperar até que os dados cheguem para serem utilizados. Uma forma popular para resolver esse tipo de empecílio é a adoção de sistemas de arquivos paralelos, que utilizam a velocidade da rede local, além dos recursos de cada máquina, para suprir a deficiência de desempenho no uso isolado de cada disco. Neste estudo, analisamos alguns sistemas de arquivos paralelos e distribuídos, detalhando aqueles mais interessantes e importantes. Por fim, mostramos que o uso de um sistema de arquivos paralelo pode ser mais eficiente e vantajoso que o uso de um sistema de arquivos usual, para apenas um cliente. / In the last years, the evolution of the data processing power and network transmission for low cost computers was much bigger if compared to the increase of the speed of getting the data stored in disks. Therefore, many applications are finding difficulties in reaching the full use of the processors, because they have to wait until the data arrive before using. A popular way to solve this problem is to use a parallel file system, which uses the local network speed to avoid the performance bottleneck found in an isolated disk. In this study, we analyze some parallel and distributed file systems, detailing the most interesting and important ones. Finally, we show the use of a parallel file system can be more efficient than the use of a usual local file system, for just one client.
