Implementation of Inclusive Child Friendly Primary Schools Policy in Nyandarua County, Kenya

The main problem addressed by this study was the implementation of inclusive child friendly primary schools policy in Nyandarua County. The Inclusive Child Friendly Schools (CFS) policy has become the vehicle through which the government is providing quality education for all children in school by creating a learning environment where all children can learn, all children want to learn, and all children feel included in the classrooms and schools. However, studies show that the conditions in schools are not adequately adapted to accommodate the diversity of learners and even many more children of school going age are left out of school. These challenges generated the objectives of the study which were to examine the practice in public primary schools in line with the inclusive CFS policy and suggestion of appropriate strategies for implementation of inclusive CFS in public primary schools. To achieve this, the study utilized a descriptive survey using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data collection instruments entailed questionnaires, interview schedule, focus group discussions, observation schedule and document analysis which were first piloted to improve validity and reliability and the accruing data was then analyzed thematically as per the study objectives. The findings of the study indicated that there was a substantial gap between CFS policy expectations and its actual day to day practice in the schools. Schools had the CFS messages engraved but had not made a significant alteration in the line with the policy. From these study findings, the paper presented several policy recommendations including adopting CFS policy to internal contexts so that individual schools look for ways of developing and utilizing selfassessment indicators of CFS at the school levels. Though the area of CFS is relatively new, it was hoped the study could shed light on the way forward for inclusive child friendly school programme in Kenya.

Modifiable Risk Factors Associated With Disposal of Unused Prescription Drugs by Parents of Adolescents.

The safe disposal of unused medications is one primary prevention strategy to reduce nonmedical prescription drug use among adolescents. We sought to identify modifiable risk factors associated with disposal of unused prescription drugs by parents of adolescents residing in ten south central Kentucky counties with disposal programs. In the fall of 2017, 4148 parents of adolescents participated in an anonymous, paper-based survey. We conducted generalized logit mixed models adjusted for within-school clustering to assess the relationship between disposal behaviors and modifiable risk factors while controlling for respondents' sociodemographic characteristics. The analytic sample consisted of parents in households in which someone had been prescribed an opioid medication within the past 12months (N = 627). Our findings indicated that almost 42% of parents reported disposing of unused prescription medication within the past 12months, and the majority disposed of medications at home rather than using a disposal program. Parents who perceived that any, compared to none, of their child's close friends engaged in nonmedical prescription opioid use had higher odds of reporting use of a disposal program. Parents who were aware of disposal programs, compared to those who were not aware, had greater odds of using them, rather than not disposing at all or disposing unused prescription medications at home. Compared to parents who perceived prescription drugs to be hard for adolescents to obtain for nonmedical use, parents who believed that prescription drugs were easily accessible to adolescents for nonmedical use had lower odds of using disposal programs than disposing of medications at home. Collectively, our findings suggest that enhancing awareness of disposal programs, while addressing parents' perceptions of their children's peers' use of nonmedical prescription opioids, should be considered to facilitate the disposal of unused medications and optimize current public health prevention efforts related to adolescent nonmedical useof these drugs.

Policy innovation on building child friendly cities in China: Evidence from four Chinese cities

• Four Chinese cities have responded to the Child Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI). • The CFCI aims to create better societies to promote positive child development. • The four cities differ in their approaches to developing child friendly cities. • Endogenous development needs, competition, and elites drive CFCI policy formation. The Child Friendly Cities (CFC) Initiative was launched by the United Nations in 1996 as a policy innovation, aiming to create better societies to promote positive child development on a global scale. A few cities in China have responded to the call and acted to construct CFCs with varying characteristics. By applying a theoretical model of policy innovation and diffusion, this article analyzes the priorities of Chinese practices in regard to CFC construction. In addition, this article explores the key factors influencing CFC policy innovation in China’s unique context, considering the country’s social environment and political ecology. Based on the evidence drawn from the multi-case comparison of four Chinese cities— Shenzhen, Shanghai, Changsha, and Gu’an— this article first describes the operationalizing and localizing process of CFC initiatives in China, and it then refines a three-stage CFC policy expansion course. It is argued that the endogenous needs of urban development, competition from both political and development requirements, and the elites (both administrative bureaucrats and social entrepreneurs) play vital roles in driving CFC policy formulation and in focusing on CFC as a breakthrough for improving child development.

The Children City Architecture

Since the earliest civilizations, the city had been built to fulfil what the adults had considered as society’s needs and by which architectural solutions. This process had continued in history till the 19th century and established the culture of adults’ city architecture. The children had to fit themselves in the adult’s city. It is mainly during the 1960s when new trends in city architecture have introduced new considerations for children by calling for livability in cities. This trend has increased in the 1990s by the sustainable city trends and the present initiatives of Children Friendly City.

It requires new ways of understanding children’s needs in the city and how can architecture contain these needs. These two components can establish children architecture as a new reality in our cities

Child Friendly Education and Its Implication in Establishing Humanist Teacher’s Profile: Considering ‘Abdullāh Nāshih ‘Ulwān’s Thought

The occurrence of violence in education is caused by the poor education system.
