This research was conducted in Oromia regional State, of wele Catchment, Sululta, North Shewa ,Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. The availability and quality of water resources has always been the primary concern of societies in any region. In an area where surface water was not feasible for the desired activity, groundwater was the second alternative. Thus exploration has to be performed for an effective and sustainable utilization of ground water. The main objective of this research is to explore groundwater at wele Catchment using Vetical electrical sonding and magnetic methods. The Schlumberger electrode array with maximum half current electrode spacing of 500m was used to collect twenty VES data points along five profiles using Syscal Junior resistivity meter instrument. One hundred sixty three magnetic field data was collected using Scintrex magnetometer along the same profiles. The data were interpreted both qualitatively and quantitatively in order to infer the subsurface geology and identify aquifer bearing zones. The qualitative analysis of VES data were interpreted by pseudo depth sections and resistivity of VES model curves using Ipi2win and IPI_res3. Geo-electric sections were constructed using Surfer 10 software that was revealed five to six layers which differ in degree of weathering, fracturing, composition and depth of aquifer. Magnetic maps were used to identify weak zones and the qualitative interpretations of the data, were performed with different magnetic anomaly maps using Oasis montaji 6.4.2 software. Low resistivity anomaly at large thickness and depth was identified with resistivity value ranges 5.19\u03a9m with thickness ranges 100m and at depth 135m of Pr2V4. Also total magnetic anomaly showed low magnetic response along these profiles. Finally, the overall interpretation was done by integrating all VES and magnetic results together and the possible drilling site was on Pr2V4 .The low resistivity VES with large thickness and depth strongly agree with low magnetic anomaly area for ground water potential exploration. Therefore among all profile; profile two is our potential area.

Employing a correlational research design with mixed-methods approach, the study utilized a multi-stage sampling technique to select a sample of 402 participants, from whom an 82.7% response rate was obtained. Data were gathered through questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. Findings indicated that the school environment was perceived to be of moderate quality with some inconsistencies. Regarding the provision of resources in libraries and science laboratories, strong, positive, and statistically significant relationships were found between aspects of the school environment and academic achievement. Multiple regression models revealed that the school environment significantly explained a substantial portion (79.1% or R²=0.791) of the variance in student performance. Laboratory facilities were identified as the most powerful predictor, followed by school management, classroom quality, and library facilities, while school leadership’s influence was found to be indirect. The study concludes that the school environment is a significant determinant of academic outcomes and that its current inconsistent quality is a key barrier to student success. Key recommendations include targeted funding for laboratory modernization, the establishment of uniform quality standards by the Zonal Education Bureau, and the implementation of programs by school leaders and teachers to improve peer relationships and foster cooperative learning.

School climate includes all social and relational and organizational elements which define the educational space including safety and professional relationships and institutional support and teaching quality and the complete psychological environment. The research study used a mixed-methods design to collect quantitative survey data from teachers and to conduct qualitative interviews with school principals and PTA members. The study included 402 people from which researchers selected 194 teachers using Slovin's formula and they chose 3 principals and 3 PTA members through purposeful selection. The researchers used SPSS to analyze quantitative data through descriptive statistics and correlation analysis and regression analysis while they conducted thematic analysis for the qualitative data. The research investigated how school climate affects student educational outcomes at government secondary schools located in Arada Sub-city of Addis Ababa. This study sort of looked at how school climate affects student academic achievement in government secondary schools in Arada Sub-city, using mixed methods. The results, based on 197 respondents and three-year Grade 12 national examination records (2023–2025) suggest that the whole school climate picture is a little bit below average (M = 2.76) but stakeholder participation looks moderate (M = 3.10) . When it comes to student academic performance, it stays low throughout, with an overall mean of 232.29, and all scores sit in the 200–299 low achievement band, so there’s no obvious upward direction across the years. In the correlation analysis there was a positive but weak association between school climate and academic achievement. Specifically, safety and discipline came out significant (r = 0.356, p < 0.01) and so did teaching and learning (r = 0.224, p < 0.01). However the institutional environment was not significant (r = 0.122, p = 0.087), which is kind of surprising. Then the regression results supported the idea that school climate does matter, though not strongly because it accounts for 19.9% of the variation in achievement (R² = 0.199). Teaching and learning was the strongest predictor (β = 0.505) while safety actually showed a negative effect (β = -0.472), the study concludes that school climate influences achievement but the influence is limited, and seems to be held back by weak collaboration, inconsistent safety, and weak institutional support. It is therefore recommended that schools improve instructional quality , strengthen teacher collaboration, make safety arrangements more consistent, and expand student academic support programs, so learning outcomes can get better.

Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and simple linear regression were used to analyse the data. Findings revealed that 21st-century pedagogy is partially implemented in secondary schools, with collaborative learning and critical thinking most consistently practised, while digital tool integration remained notably underdeveloped. Student engagement emerged as the strongest outcome, recording a very strong correlation with composite student outcomes (r = .875, p < .001). Motivation was predominantly extrinsic, and academic achievement demonstrated moderate, gradual gains. Regression analysis confirmed that modern pedagogical practices significantly predicted student outcomes (β = .562, R² = .315, p < .001). The study concludes that purposeful, systemic implementation of 21st-century pedagogy, supported by adequate infrastructure and professional development, is essential for realizing trans formative educational outcomes in secondary schools.

The research was motivated by persistent issue regarding the gap between intended curriculum goal and actual classroom practices despite ongoing educational reforms in Ethiopia. Specifically, the study examined teacher related, resource-related, administrative and leadership-related, and student-related barriers affecting curriculum implementation. A descriptive survey design was employed. The study involved 350 teachers selected through proportional sampling from seven secondary schools and 28 school principals selected through a census sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages. The findings indicated significant differences in the understanding of curriculum implementation barriers across schools. Teachers in lower-activities schools reported higher confidence in their understanding of student-centered teaching methods and competency based assessment than teachers in higher-performing schools. However, these similar schools reported greater challenges related to learners’ lack of fundamental knowledge and basic skills. Resource-related barriers, especially scarcity of textbooks and overcrowded classrooms, were identified as major challenges across all schools. Significant understanding gaps were also identified between teachers and principals regarding preparation time, classroom facilities, and supervision practices. Furthermore, lower-performing schools reported greater examination pressure and lower levels of collaborative planning, while higher-performing schools motivation stronger commitment to competency-based teaching and collaborative professional practices. The study concludes that effective curriculum implementation is challenged by interconnected teacher, student, resource, and leadership factors. It further shows that schools reporting fewer barriers may not necessarily be implementing the curriculum effectively, whereas schools identifying more challenges often demonstrate greater awareness of implementation realities. Therefore, reliance on self-reported satisfaction measures alone may provide a misleading picture of curriculum implementation quality. The study recommends differentiated professional development for teachers, improved provision of textbooks and instructional resources, targeted interventions to address students’ foundational learning gaps, strengthened instructional supervision and feedback systems, institutionalized collaborative planning practices, reduced examination-oriented teaching, participatory workload assessments, and the adoption of objective curriculum implementation monitoring mechanisms such as classroom observations, resource audits, and external evaluations.

\n\nFreshwater bodies and their biodiversity are at risk due to water pollution from industrial effluents and household sewage. The main objective of this study was to assess the effects of wet coffee processing effluent on the physicochemical characteristics of the Ujumo River. The composite triplicated (1Lx3per day=3Liters) sampling of each point's sites (upriver as S1; effluent as S2 and downriver as S3) totaled 3Lx3per site=9Liters during the September 2018 EC/2025GC coffee bean peeking. By examining the samples, the selected physicochemical properties were determined. Primary data on the effects of wet coffee processing effluent on downriver local household users was gathered through focus groups and interviews. Statistical analyses such as correlation analysis and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) have been carried out using Microsoft Excel (2010) and SPSS software (version 26). The PH ranges from 5.00±0.15 to 6.93±0.15, with the lower value at effluent (5.00) being more acidic than below the EEPA and WHO standards, according to the results reported by range. This suggests that the water quality parameters from upriver effluent to downriver were important. Turbidity ranged from 17.17±0.15NTU to 185.53±0.12 NTU; Total Suspended Solid ranged from 18.67±1.53 mg/L to 750.0±3.00 mg/L; Color ranged from 321.33±4.16 Pt-Co to 502.0±6.24 Pt-Co; Nitrate (NO3-) ranged from 8.77±0.21 mg/L to 0.89±0.20 mg/L; and phosphate (PO43-) were all significantly higher downstream (p < 0.05). TDS ranged from 42.67±0.29 to 175.83±2.52 mg/L, EC ranged from 85.33±0.58 to 321.67±5.03, and sulfate ranged from 4.1 7±0.20 to 6.07±0.21, all of which were significantly below EEPA and WHO standards. The high levels of water contaminants found in most of the samples collected from wastewater and downstream sections of the river significantly exceeded the EEPA and WHO 2022 updated surface water discharge limits. The qualitative data also revealed that the community was affected by human malaria cases, skin irritation, and unpleasant odors and color changes in rivers due to effluents from coffee processing plants. Therefore, coffee processing facilities should treat their effluents before releasing them into rivers. Responsible government agencies should allow coffee processing facilities to operate in compliance with environmental safety regulations.

Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that the overall school climate in the selected secondary schools was generally moderate to positive. Students’ academic achievement, measured through Grade 12 Ethiopian University Entrance Examination results, was also found to be moderate, although considerable variation existed among schools and between male and female students. Pearson correlation analysis showed a statistically significant positive relationship between school climate and students’ academic achievement (r = .545, p < .01). The dimensions of community engagement (r = .549), teacher professionalism (r = .533), collegial leadership (r = .545), and academic press (r = .577) were all positively associated with students’ academic achievement. Multiple regression analysis indicated that school climate variables jointly explained 35.6% of the variance in students’ academic achievement (R² = .356). Among the dimensions of school climate, academic press emerged as the only statistically significant predictor of academic achievement (β = 1.474, p < .05). The study concludes that school climate plays a significant role in influencing students’ academic achievement. Therefore, strengthening academic press, improving leadership practices, enhancing teacher professionalism, and promoting community involvement are essential for improving students’ academic performance in secondary schools of Yeka Sub-City.

ABSTRACT
\n\nEcotourism is a newly developed concept characterized as an environmentally sustainable, economically feasible, and socially responsible form of tourism. It is founded on fundamental principles aimed at conserving the environment, preserving local culture, and ensuring that local communities are the primary beneficiaries and actively involved. Ethiopia possesses significant natural and cultural resources that present a strong potential for the ecotourism industry. However, the nation has yet to reap the benefits of ecotourism development due to a lack of data regarding the availability of these resources and other related challenges. This thesis investigates the essential elements of ecotourism potential and the obstacles faced in the Sasiga district, offering a thorough analysis of the established key objectives. The research adopts a systematic methodology to examine the hypotheses, employing both qualitative and quantitative techniques to collect and analyze data. The quantitative data were assessed using frequency and percentage where applicable, while data gathered from Focus Group Discussions (FGD), Key Informant Interviews (KII), and field observations were interpreted qualitatively. The findings indicate considerable potential within the district concerning the availability of natural and cultural resources. The diverse wildlife tourism and recreational fishing opportunities along the Hangar River, along with waterfalls such as Gumbi Waterfall, Angar Waterfall, Bareda Waterfall, Konte Waterfall, Hursa H/Kibbitu Waterfall, and Laga Tobo Waterfall, as well as the mountainous attractions of Wata Mountain and caves like Gada Gilinde Cave, Holqa Dalatti Cave, and Dhaga Sinbira Cave, in addition to forest resources such as Chaak-Arba Forest and Badhasa Jarso Forest, highlight the area's diverse and unique potential as an ecotourism destination. Moreover, the traditional court system, along with the Ardajila ritual of Gara Abalo and the Irrecha tullu ritual at Wata Mountain, showcases vibrant cultural and traditional assets that can significantly enhance tourism development. The research also highlights key challenges facing future ecotourism growth in the district, particularly concerning infrastructure, safety and security, and environmental degradation. In summary, this study reveals a wealth of natural and cultural diversity that presents a promising opportunity to establish an ecotourism industry in the Sasiga district.
