In Nigeria, there are many cases of aquatic pollution that have not been documented. Water quality investigation of Field 20 Stream in Pamol (Nigeria) Limited Estate, Odukpani, Cross River State, was conducted weekly between April and June 2004 spanning a period of 10 weeks. The study revealed that the stream has been heavily polluted by effluents discharge into it. The investigation revealed marked changes between the control point and the downstream station with respect to parameters such as turbidity (from 4+0.7 to 19+ 0.9 F.T.U.) and colour (from 42 + 1.4 to 148 + 1.16 Pt-Co Units), which were above the WHO (1984) permissible limits for inland waters (5.0 F.T.U. and 15.0 Pt-Co Units respectively). Also the variation in dissolved oxygen between the upstream station (5.3+ 0.18 mgl-1) and downstream station (4.4 + 0.08 mgl-1) was below the WHO (1984) limit of>5.0 mgl-1 of dissolved oxygen in water for domestic purposes. Hence the water was considered to have been polluted by the effluents discharged into it. Variations in some other measured parameters between the upstream and the downstream stations though still within the WHO (1984) permissible limits were noticed. The rubber effluents were also analysed and were found to be high in turbidity (68+0.9 F.T.U), low in dissolved oxygen (1.7 + 0.7mgl-1), high again in total hardness (512 +3.2mgl-1), moderate in acidity (6.41+0.6) and very high in colour (510+7.8 Pt-Co Units). Mitigation procedures on the control of the pollution resulting from the rubber factory, for example the decolourization of the highly coloured effluents before the discharge were recommended.

The conditions under which the two models can effectively be applied were highlighted. Based on these conditions, the two models were then compared in line with the various parameters being estimated. It was then concluded that the tendency of a testee to guess (under Ziller's model) is a function of the ability of the testee and the difficulty level of the test items. Similarly, the probability of a correct response to an item (under Rasch Model) is also a function of the difficulty level of that test and the ability of the person responding to the item. This justifies the inter-relationship between Rasch and Ziller's models.

The article argues the need to address the learning needs of pupils with difficulties. Example of the focus of these needs are the development of quantitative concepts and survival arithmetic through differential learning experiences, while a review of methodology or approaches to teaching is underlined. It is important to reiterate that this article is part of a major study on the institutionalisation of children with mental retardation in two residential schools in Ghana, and consequently reference is made to the research study when examples are cited from schools in Ghana.

The study showed that teachers teach between 30-46% of their mathematics lesson periods in English at the lower primary level. Efforts to use the native language for meaningful mathematics instructions are constrained by teachers' inability to speak the language and the lack of materials in the native language. For children to derive the benefits of the language policy, the study recommends taking teachers linguistic competence into consideration during teacher postings and an urgent provision of text materials in the native languages to serve as resource materials for teachers.
