Abstract: Settlement is one among some most basic needs of the men; related with the socialization of humans. The need of the permanent settlement arises mainly, due to the growth and development of agriculture itself. It is the one; among the trio of “roti, kapda and makaan” (bread, clothes and house). Human life revolves around these three and remains miserable without them; as adequate availability of housing facilities is as valuable as others for civilized population. Men in all the times and all around the world remain engaged in fulfilling the demands of food, clothes and residence. Dwelling availability, most specifically depicts the developmental stages of the societies and it can be easily guessed whether, the society is in the stage of developed, developing or in underdeveloped state with a single expression of settlements. Huge size of population on this earth is still waiting for the adequate place of residence. Increasing population in leaps and bounds is making conditions more awful. Purpose of the present study is to focus on the availability of settlements, adequacy and efficiency of basic associated amenities and anxieties.

Abstract: The study investigated the contributions of Teachers’ variables- qualification and subject specialization, to the academic achievement of students in basic science in selected secondary schools. The population of the study comprised all the students and all the science teachers from all the public secondary schools. A sample of 200 students and 100 teachers was selected from the population, using the proportionate stratified random sampling techniques. Two research questions were raised to guide the study, while two null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 levels of significances. The study used two validated instruments to collect data. The mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while the null hypotheses were tested using ANOVA. The findings revealed that: teachers’ higher academic qualification significantly influenced students’ achievement; teachers’ subject major significantly contributed to students achievement in basic science; the findings also revealed no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of students taught by teachers with different educational qualifications, The study shows both positive and negative effects of interaction of teacher background variables on students ‘academic achievement. Based on the findings, it was recommended that employment of basic science teachers should be based on qualification and subject specialization, basic science teacher should be encouraged by government to attend professional training regularly, and Government agencies saddled with the recruitment of teachers should step up recruitment efforts by hiring teachers who have high academic qualification so that students’ academic achievement and interest can be sustained.

A population of 6000 students was used; out of it, a samples size of 200 was selected through a stratified random sampling for the study. The study was guided with 2 research questions and 2 hypotheses. Academic stress rating scale (ASRS) was the instrument used after it was validated and it reliability was known using the Cronbach alpha r=0.87. The data collected was analyzed using the mean(x) and standard deviation to answer the research questions while the ANOVA and t-test were used to test the hypotheses. The result showed that; the sources of stress on fresh degree student varied from, personal, facilities, financial and other social factors. The stressors experienced by fresh students was categorized on the bases of strength into low, medium and high. The major sources of stress on fresh students came from three (3) main clusters of issues which borders around (1) environmental factors (2) social and (3) financial factors. In addition to the above, the result showed a significant difference in the sources of stress among the various department. On the other hand, the severity of stress does not differ between male and female students. Based on these, some recommendations were made.
