The mam financial sources for public schools were found to be school fees. The participation of school committees, parents, the surrounding community in the affairs of public school physical plants was insignificant. There are no clear-cut policy statements and general guidelines about the organization and administration of public schools. If these problems are to be met forth rightly and directly, then careful planning and study are necessary. If successful solutions with successful answers are to be arrived at, cooperative action is desired between professional educational staff, the board of education, other community agencies and all citizens of the community.Item Assessment of Cervical Cancer Patients of Psycho-Social Support: A case study of Black Lion Specialized Teaching Hospital(Addis Ababa University, 2019-06) Gebeyehu, Yenewid; Ayele, Moges (PhD)This research is about the Assessment of Cervical Cancer Patients Psycho-Social Support in the cases of Black Lion Specialized Teaching Hospital. Specifically, this research is done in order to identify the psychological challenges of cervical cancer patients, to assess psy, and to identify how patients treat themselves for cervical cancer. In order to achieve the above objectives this study used primary data which was collected through questionnaires and interview. The data collected from the sample were analyzed and interpreted by descriptive data analysis technique. The results of this study indicated that psycho-social support given to that cervical cancer patient was poor and there is a lack of psycho-social support for cervical cancer patients .. In addition to that the result indicated that, the existence of poor utilization of services was due to poor practice and lack of knowledge and information. Finally, the researcher recommended that there should be broad promotion to cervical cancer screening among women by informing them on their susceptibility and encouraging regular screening in order to detect cervical cancer at the pre-cancerous stage.

Accordingly; it was designed in quasi-experimental research design. In order to assess the overall condition of school for teaching-learning process of football techniques as well as PE, data was gathered through observation, open-ended questions and technique test. The data from observation by the researcher and the response toward the questionnaires suggests that there was no suitable teaching learning environment for football as well as for PE in the school. In addition, data collected from fifty experimental groups of students via technique test in passing, dribbling and receiving as pre-test performance result. Then, practicing program was designed for the students in the manner of participatory and initiative way. The students engaged in the program for three months. After accomplishment, students’ technique performance measured as post-test performance result. The comparison of pre and post-test results shows that, the students’ technique performance was improved during post-test result as their pre-test mean value is 4.4, 3.56 and 5.44 for passing, dribbling and receiving respectively. Whereas,6.9,6.28 and 7.24 during post-test. Finally, based on findings from data interrelation, data analysis and conclusion was drawn. The recommendations given by the researcher were- Time allocation and class size should be suited for PE, effective methods and strategies should be applied by PE teachers, all concerning bodies should participate in creating appropriate teaching-learning environment for PE, foundation of students’ football club and competition program in the school.

Purposive sampling technique was used to select 24 novice female students on intervention and comparison group aged15 to 16 years from grade 9 students. The main objective of the study was to investigate the effect of circuit training program on selected physical fitness variables of Alibo high School female students Horo Guduru Wollega Zone in Oromia Regional state. Those subjects under this study took part in experimental design pre and post test on both group from October 1/02/2015 to December 30/04/ 2016, 2 days per week for 3 months and 40 minutes prerecession. The physical fitness variables selected for the study were: cardio respiratory endurance (1.6 km run in minutes), muscular endurance (sit-ups reps/60 seconds), muscular strength (modified push-ups reps/30 seconds), power (standing long jump in meter) and agility (4x10 m shuttle run in seconds).Data were analyzed by using SPSS paired samples t- test with pair wise comparison of means at 95% confidence interval. The results indicated that there were significantly improvements in performance on selected physical fitness variables due to the effects of circuit training with active rest (p < 0.05).This study confirmed that circuit training with active rest was significant to improve the physical fitness variables. The main finding of the study was novice female students have discovered positive outcomes towards physical fitness variables. The study also illustrates that health and fitness level of participants can be improved as a result of circuit training program.
