Description:: At the University of Botswana, home economics is included in the curriculum as a required course for students studying for a Certificate and a Diploma in Social Work. This paper examines and assesses the relevance of home economics for social work and how home economics can be used to support and complement social work training and practice in Botswana. More specifically, the paper discusses the nature and function of the two professions - social work and home economics; presents an overview of social work education and training in Botswana; and examines the curriculum content which includes home economics within the context of local practice needs.

Description:: This paper presents the results of a study on the relevance of income generating projects as a reinforcement of acquired literacy skills in Zimbabwe. Very little research has been carried out to assess the extent to which participation in income generating projects actually reinforces the students acquired literacy skills, whereas many studies have evaluated the impact of literacy on socio-economic activities. This study sets out to examine what effects socio-economic activities have on students' literacy test achievements. The results presented here tend to show that high participation in income generating projects is positively correlated with higher total mean scores for total literacy and arithmetic scores. However, the study revealed that variables of high and low participation are not the only ones and cannot be considered in isolation: other variables such as age, sex, etc had to be considered also as results show that these, together with high and low participation in projects, affects students' achievements in literacy test scores. It is believed that the results have useful implications for agencies involved in adult literacy work.

Description:: Aquino de Braganca, the Mozambkan scholar, diplomat and humanist, was one of the victims of the plane crash of 19 October, 1986. ASOPE joins many others in honouring a man who gave so much for the African struggle. This journal is equally honoured that Aquino agreed only a month before his tragic death to be one of the first contributors (see last article in this issue) to AJOPE
