- Description: This study aims to examine the extent to which learning efficacy and goal setting will interact with academic burnout among learners in the post covid-19 pandemic era. The quantitative research design was adopted for this study. A total of 1, 407 adolescents in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria (male = 38.8%; female 61.2%) aged between 12 and 20 (mean = 15: SD = 4.24) responded to an online survey developed by the researchers, which was open for two months. Data were analysed using inferential statistics of linear logistics and regression analysis. The findings revealed that all the factors had a strong association with academic burnout, learning efficacy (OR = 1.02, 95% CI {1.01–1.04}) and goal setting (OR = 1.04, 95% CI {1.01–1.06}). Further, learning efficacy made the highest contribution to academic burnout...

- Description: This article focuses on how teachers are coping with stress in their schools during and after COVID-19.Teachers’ work by nature is stressful having to deal with various aspects such as ensuring that lesson notes are completed, students are performing as they should, and handling paperwork. This iscombined with the lack of necessary resources to work efficiently. In their line of duty, teachers also face the dilemma of handling problematic behaviours of certain learners and there is a lot of work that must be done to protect teachers. The study adopted an interpretivism paradigm using the Social Cognitive Theoryin which thematically analysed data was collected through interviews from 15 purposely selected participants from Chris Hani East Education in South Africa(CHEDE). The analysis of data revealed that learners are using drugs, which leads to a change in their behaviour at school, something that negatively affects the learning process and the teachers themselves. It also emerged from the data analysis that teachers have a lot of paperwork to deal with, with insufficient resources, teachers can use, especially during the time of COVID-19. This study found that teachers used WhatsApp groups, church services, and family support to cope with stress during COVID-19. The article recommends that the Department of Basic Education employs security measures to handle safety and protect students and teachers from the effect of illicit drug usage on the premises of schools which increases the stress levels of teachers. New programmes and policies must be formulated to equip students with enough knowledge about the danger of using drugs. The Department of Basic Education must also supply all schools with devices that can be used by teachers for online teaching and learning to facilitate learning.

- Description: COVID-19 posed an obstacle to many teachers as they tried to master online teaching.This study sought to investigate teachers stress experiences in primary schools in South Africa during COVID-19. The study adopted the interpretivism paradigm in which thematically analysed data was collected through interviews. Fifteen(15) participants were selected purposely from primary schools of Chris Hani East District in South Africa for the interview. In the study, teachers attributed their stress to the lack of protective resources, lack of proper plans for remote teaching, and lack of skills. Students were not co-operating with the teachers during online lessons. The study recommends that the necessary protective resources be provided by the Department of Education to protect teachers from being infected with Covid-19 and provide teaching assistants so that teachers can find it easier to teach with less burden. Schools must be equipped with digital technology and train teachers on how to use digital technology to ease the burden on them. It is important for teachers and motivational speakers to meet with students to raise students interest and curiosity about learning and in the same vein boosting the students self-confidence.
