It explains why demand for English education has increased among parents. However, the teaching and learning of English has been beset with bottlenecks, thus impacting learning outcomes in terms of developing English proficiency of learners for practical purposes. The treating, teaching and learning of English as a subject, rather than as a language, and its status as a ‘library language’ have been obstacles to the proper acquisition of language skills among students. While the problem exists for young learners at the school level, its impact is felt later in their lives, especially when they have to use English for purposes of higher learning or jobs. It is seen that the hype that goes with English education has not matched with learning outcomes, which is dismally below par. The inclusion of English merely as a language and a medium of instruction and then treating it as a subject to be learnt by rote only for exam scores have contributed to rendering the teachinglearning of English largely as a Sisyphean activity in terms of learning outcomes. Most respondents reported they enjoyed learning English. They expressed overall satisfaction with regard to their English speaking ability, are aware of the purpose of learning English, feel they can prepare notes of their own, have individual and group activities in school to learn English, have their teachers using audio-visual aids, and feel the vocabulary and structures they use in textbooks are useful in daily life. The above contradictions could be because of differences in students’ perceptions of what ‘good’ and ‘adequate’ English is, especially in urban, semi-urban and rural areas. However, the fact is that the level of English proficiency of respondents from rural or small town areas, such as the one surveyed for the present article, is inadequate in equipping them to pursue higher education, or take up jobs. In this context, it will be opportune to evaluate how using home/local language, or mother tongue, as medium of instruction up to Grade 5, or even Grade 8, as per the new National Education Policy (NEP) will impact students proficiency in English. Apparently, students who learn in the English medium up to the abovementioned grades will enjoy the early starter advantage. This article looks at the above aspects.","PeriodicalId":417882,"journal":{"name":"IDC International Journal","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129355221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While they have thankfully been largely spared from the direct health effects of COVID-19 and the crisis is having a profound effect on their wellbeing. The three main channels through which they affected by this crisis infection with the virus itself, the immediate socioeconomic impacts of measures to stop transmission of virus and end the pandemic, and the potential longer-term effects of delayed implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Methodology: The researcher adopted descriptive approach. The samples were the children (n=100) between the age group of 5 and 15 years. Using general questionnaire the impacts were identified for the past 3 months among the children. Questionnaire was distributed and the responses recorded. Results: The findings of the study exhibit that the children were affected in different aspects like physically, psychologically, economically and socially. Most of the children facing challenges like movement limitations(homely), educational imbalances due to online classes, physically became obese, mentally disturbed due to social distancing(falling in to poverty, learning difficulties, threats to child survival and health, risk for child safety. Conclusion: To minimize the bad outcomes researcher planned to work together as a team to make progress on these three fronts-information, solidarity and action. This is an unprecedented crisis and it presents unprecedented risks to the rights and safety & development of the world’s children. Community have a chance to not only defeat this pandemic, but to transform the way nurture and invest in the young generation. But this is the time to act decisively.","PeriodicalId":417882,"journal":{"name":"IDC International Journal","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133901176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DOI: http://doi.org/10.47211/idcij.2020.v07iws02.007 ABSTRACT Choosing a profession is a complex process affected by many factors varying from one country to another and from one culture to another. In addition to the properties of the profession and individual characteristics of the person, environmental conditions, political, economic, legal and systematic characteristics, luck, norms, and social values and attitudes affect one’s choice of profession. In choosing a profession, if a person is to adapt to the profession and to maintain a productive working life, he/she should have a positive opinion of and attitude towards the profession. Having a positive opinion of and attitude towards the profession plays an important role not only in fulfilling individual success but also in the development of the profession. Nursing schools need students who have qualifications appropriate to the nursing profession and display a positive attitude towards it. Therefore, to develop the nursing profession, nursing schools should educate students so that the students can have qualifications appropriate to the nursing profession and display a positive attitude towards it. Nursing students face many difficulties during their education process. A streamlined course consisting of a unified and comprehensive syllabus replacing different levels of courses, such as a diploma course, including Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) and General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM), and a BSc in nursing, should be introduced. Self-esteem is a person's Personal judgement of his or her own worth, based on how well behaviour matches up with self-ideal. The frequency with which a person attains goals directly influences feelings of competency (High selfesteem) or inferiority (low-self-esteem) self-esteem comes from two primary sources: the self and others. It is first function of being loved and gaining the respect of there. Self-esteem is lowered when love is lost when one fails to receive approval from others. Attitude is a psychological construct, a mental and emotional entity that inheres in, or characterizes a person. They are complex and are an acquired state through experiences. It is an individual's predisposed state of mind regarding a value and it is precipitated through a responsive expression towards a person, place, thing, or event (the attitude object) which in turn influences the individual's thought and action. Prominent psychologist Gordon Allport described this latent psychological construct as \"the most distinctive and indispensable concept in contemporary social psychology. Attitude can be formed from a person's past and present. Key topics in the study of attitudes include attitude s","PeriodicalId":417882,"journal":{"name":"IDC International Journal","volume":"391 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123958828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DOI: http://doi.org/10.47211/idcij.2020.v07iws02.002 ABSTRACT Immunization is vital; it protects nearly 3/4 th of children against major childhood illness. There are several diseases which can be easily prevented by timely vaccination as part of routine immunization. India's vaccine deficit has several causes like poorly educated population or lack of awareness among people. Aim; To assess the knowledge and attitude of parents regarding universal immunization programme. To determine the significant association of knowledge and attitude with selected demographic variables and To teach a health education module on UIP of India. Material and methods; an exploratory descriptive survey method was used as a research design. Statistics was accumulated with the aid of convenient sampling method from 500 parents of selected rural areas of Jaipur city. The tool included ten demographic variable and 30 established questions regarding knowledge and attitude on immunization. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. Conclusion: The study revealed that the majority of parents have moderate score of knowledge 59.8% regarding immunization where as 40.2% have inadequate level of knowledge. It is also depicts that none of them have adequate level of knowledge regarding immunization. And the attitude score calculated that 20.6% parents have positive attitude towards immunization of under-five children whereas majority of parents 77.4% have no opinion or don’t know regarding child immunization and only 2% parents have negative attitude towards child immunization. there is significant association between the score level of knowledge and selected demographic variables like (age, religion, monthly income, education, type of family, source of acquiring knowledge and status of immunization).There is no significance association between the level of knowledge scores and other demographic variables like (sex, occupation and number of under-five year children) The calculated chi-square values were less than the table value at the 0.05 level of significance. There is significance association between the score level of attitude and demographic variables (age, numbers of under-five children in family, religion, occupation, monthly income and education). There is no significance association between the level of scores and other demographic variables (sex, type of family, source of acquiring knowledge and status of immunization) The calculated chi-square values were less than the table value at the 0.05 level of significance.","PeriodicalId":417882,"journal":{"name":"IDC International Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129470995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
