Copying Mechanism for First-Year Students
Okello, Lazarus Millan; Oure, Eliud
After secondary Education, many students around the world make transit to institutions of higher learning. This transit necessitates the need for appropriate adjustments, which has classified into Academic, Emotional and Social. Each students should know copying mechanism that they can consider adapting during transition. Successful transition from secondary school to university is essential for the academic, emotional and social success of any student and smooth adjustment process can be achieved through internalizing the character, culture and behavioral norms of the institution in which the student is enrolled. Students who are given adequate parental love are likely to adjust themselves more quickly than students who are deprived of this. The study recommends good relationships with lecturers, and social integration with other students for positive adjustments of the learners. The students' ability to set goals and achieve a balance between academic and social activities is critical during the First-Year transition.

This book is concerned with the status and potential of agribusiness in Africa. Studies by the World Bank (2013), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) (UNIDO, 2011), Food and Agriculture Organization (2011) demonstrate that agriculture and agribusiness have been Africa’s largest economic and fastest-growing sectors since the mid-1990s. It is estimated
that Africa now earns an average of 24 per cent of its annual growth from its farmers and their commodities (FAO, 2007; 2011; World Bank 2013). The sectors accounts for 30 to 40 % of Africa’s total GDP and almost 60 % of its total export earnings (FARA, 2014). It is also estimated by the World Bank (2013) that agriculture and agribusiness together could command a US$ 1 Trillion in Africa’s regional economy by 2030. The World Bank further predicts that agriculture and agribusiness in many African countries could trigger the kind of economic transformation seen in many emerging economies in other regions of the world such as Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia, and Ukraine. As we strive to concretize agribusiness as one of the key economic drivers and pillars of Africa’s growth, it is imperative to analyze successful case studies of agribusinesses to provide us with valuable lessons for building a sound agribusiness sector in Africa. Although Africa’s agribusiness potential is still largely unexploited, there are positive indications that Africa will play a very important role in global food and agricultural markets given that Africa has more than half of the world’s uncultivated, but agriculturally suitable land, and has scarcely utilized its extensive water resources. Moreover, Africa’s agribusiness development prospects are set to be driven by the growing population, incomes, urbanization and cities, and development of domestic markets. These factors are already resulting in the setting up of agricultural-based industries that can address the needs for employment as well as food security issues in Africa. This book therefore aims to provide a solid foundation for students and practitioners in agribusiness to understand and develop systematic solutions to complex agribusiness management challenges in both strategic planning and operational execution within the Africa business, economic and social environment.
