Citizens' Assessment on Programs for Education of the Local Government Unit of Banga, Aklan

Citizen Satisfaction Index System (CSIS) was used to assess the delivery of support to education initiatives in the municipality of Banga, Aklan, Philippines. The samples were determined using multiple application of stratified random sampling approach. In accordance with the Philippine Statistical Authority's Data on Census Population and Housing for 2015, barangays having a bigger share of the population contributed more respondents to the 150 targeted participants. Following the inclusion criteria, the probability respondents were chosen using the Kish Grid. Pre-numbered questionnaires were distributed, with odd numbers targeting male responders and even numbers targeting females. The following criteria were used to evaluate the respondents' assessments: awareness, availment of the program/service, satisfaction, and need for action. Furthermore, interviews were conducted to better understand and investigate the respondents' thoughts, behavior, and perspectives. The reasons for their reaction were also obtained. The data was provided in percentage as well as frequency distributions. The study inferred that awareness on alternative learning system and/or special education program should be improved since it is the only program that attained low rating for awareness. Most of the residents were not able to avail education programs because they have no household member who attends school. Majority of the respondents who availed the services were satisfied. However, scholarship and other assistance programs to students may be enhanced to improve service delivery. It is highly recommended by the citizens to improve accessibility to scholarship programs and other forms of financial assistance to students.

الاء فعال المعتلۃ فی القرآن الکریم

Arabic is a very rich and powerful language of the world. That is why Almighty Allah has chosen it for revealing His Last Book - the exquisite Holy Qur’an, which has attracted a large crowd to study and comprehend it from different angles. While some people have studied social and philosophical aspects of the Holy Qur’an; others have studied this Book from the perspective of language research. All these studies, no doubt, have exposed the glory of Qur’an. For discovering the linguistic beauty of the Holy Qur’an, we must study Arabic language and grammar from numerous angles. One of these aspects is to study the relationship between the voice and consonants. This Study is an attempt to highlight this aspect of Arabic language by taking examples from the vocabulary of Qur’an, especially some Mo’tall verbs (ending with وا and )ي which we find in Qur’an. This is a very vast subject. For the sake of this brevity, we have kept ourselves confined in this Study to Surah Baqarah only. Change of Mo’tall verbs in Surah Baqarah has been discussed at length and an attempt has been made to find out the reasons for changes, replacement and elimination of the characters of Mo’tall verbs. It has been proved that there is one consistent approach of verbal conjugations where the final consonant is a glide, instead of its absence in the deep structure of some morphological forms. The studied Mo’tall verbs forms have been related to the tested processes in Surah Baqarah, sharing the same underlying phonological context.
