FOREIGN AID TO THE NEED COUNTRIES:THE BENEFITS AND WEAKNESSES !
Foreign aid is not a new system done by other countries assisting another country in need of aid in the form of finance or other technical expertise. In 1945 after the devastating effects of world war two left most of the European states with no any means to develop on their own . The Marshal plan helped Britain to cope with life.Again in 1967 Britain got another foreign aid to survive. The horrible earthquake which devasted the island of Haiti left the natives with no option than to wait for foreign aid inorder to cope with life. The global financial recession which hit almost all countries in 2008 necessited other countries to beg from the world bank to get aid. All these aids are necessary to any country at one point or another.
According to Mandaza (1981)foreign aid is the help in the form of technical and financial support channelled to the need countries being devastated by disasters which may include poverty ,droughts wars ,floods ,earthquakes etc.This was supported by Anold(1985)says foreign aid is taken to mean resources both capital and technical assistance in the form of people with their skills.
Weale(1983)says that foreign aid is given by relatively wealthy country to a developing country as a mitigation programme or project with the influence of political ,economical and cultural interests.Mosley(1988)adds that developed countries give aid to developing countries for the benefit of their own countries rather than for the developing countries.
Anold (1988)therefore argues that foreign aid is a product of decolonisation and it is not a simple act of charity as is perceived by those purveying it or receiving it.Foreign aid is taken differently according to people's different professions and backgrounds which always clicked in their minds that it may comeback such a thing like colonisation .What do you think Zimbabwe's colonial liberators will respond when the British Government advances an aid when they still have bilateral conflicts concerning land reform programme?
Foreign and defence ministries have seen aid as a means of winning and holding the political and military support of the less developed contries. The trade and employment ministries view trade as a way of winning a foothold in the markets of the less developed third word countries and create jobs at their homes and deploy some of its citizens as expatriates. For example when China is giving an aid to Zambia ,the equippment needed to build infrastructure,the engieers and other technical men power must also be Chinese origin.And also finance ministries percieved aid as platform to promote growth in less developed countries for the benefit of both countries and the world economy. Take a look at the aid given by British to build international airport in Zimbabwe both countries are benefiting for the flow of business because of new structure which boast trade between the two countries.
However although these foreign aid is useful to any country at one point. Some countries failed to perpetuate the projects initiated because of the complexity of technicalities involved there and continuous need of finance for a project to sustain itself. For instance a short term aid established in some districts of Zimbabwe to assist the poor small scale farmers to practice minimum tillage using a hole.When the agencies like GOAL,Catholic Relief Agencies ,CARE are still supervising and monitoring their projects this people submitted to follow what they are told and stick to instruction given ,inorder for them continue getting inputs to grow next season .After the agencies left the area these people easily go back to their traditional method of farming.This is one of the major reason why in some quotas the foreign aid is found benefiting the donating country than the receiving. Infact the idea is not yet materialising in them(the local people) so they do not have the vision of what to do alone inorder to develop their community.

THEORIES OF MORAL DEVELOPMENT IN CHILD EDUCATION SYSTEM!
The development of moral reasoning process by which children learn principles that enables them to judge whether particular behaviour patterns is wrong or right.
Jean Piaget's theory:
Stage 1: Moral realism / Morality of constraint / Heteronomous morality of 10 years old. Nothing is in itself wrong or right or good or bad.
Adults determine what is good or bad and right or wrong , then children must believe in rules to be obeyed as presented to them without questioning or altering. Furthermore the child judges action by looking the consequence of the act and doesn't care about the intention behind the act.
Stage:2 :Morality of cooperation /Autonomous morality /Morality pf reciprocity /Moral flexibility and Moral relativism. Rules are flexible and sudden to change. They(rules) are meant to protects the right of individual rather than forgiving allegence. Tension at this stage now come into consideration.
Kolhberg's theory (1958,1969,1981,1985)researched on people's responses to hypothetical dilema. The wife of a man (Heinz) is about to die ,but there is a drug than can easily save her life which is very expensible out of her husband's affordbility. The manufacturer of the drug is not willing to lower the price of the drug for Heinz to buy so that can save the life of his wife. Out of confused desparation Heinz breaks the laboratory of the essential drug manufacturer and steal the drug.
Level one ,Preconventional level ,Stage one is punishment obidience orientation .children assess what is right or wrong on the base of reward or punishment. Rules are obeyed inorder to avoid punishment. Therefore passive rules are absolute.
Stage two Instrumental relativism orientation. The child view wrong or right on the basis on what makes him/her happy. The child only does good to others so that he is treated well ,as well.
Level two Conventional level ,Stage three Good boy nice girl orientation where rules are obeyed because it makes them good or nice.
Children behave in a manner that doesn't subject to rejection to others. Children now are conformed to majority opinions.
Stage four :Law and order orientation where rules accepted because they are necessary for maintaing law and order. Personality by society depends on conformation of law and order regulations.
Level three :Post conventional level ,Stage five :Social contract orientation. Very small number of adults attain the level of moral development. Rules should protect the right of individual and should be mutual agreement. At this stage they believe in the society to set its own rules and also change to suit different situation.
Stage six -Universal -ethical principle orientation emphasise life as more important than all human laws. Human life is the most holy of which justice is beyond an established order.
Teacher's implication is to facilitate moral development of the children ,the teacher shouldn't waut until the pupils done wrong to discuss moral values. Avoid judge issues in isolation ,but consider the circumstances and promote good peer relationship.
In fact at first level be firm on rules and order to every child without favour. Level two give good comments to children and make classroom rules and laws together with them, agree on rewards or punishments on those who obey or breaks the rules respectively.
The final third level ,especially with older learners involve them in different situations in life and discussing them considering the significance of human life and abuse of human rights rather than laws and rules alone.

Multi-faith Approach in Teaching and learning of Religious Moral Education:The Bahã'í Faith!
Moral values deliven from a religious practices are: tolerance,love,sharing,caring,respect,forgiveness,reconciling and unity to name just a few.
Bahã'í is the youngest of world's independent religions. This faith is not a sect of Islam ,but a Bãbí religion ,a faith group in Persia (Iran)that broke away from the height beliefs in more religious expectations of around 1844 which include the coming of Messiah and it was a branch of Shí'tes. Its name comes from the faith Bahã' Ullãh which means glory of God. A Bahã'í is a follower of Bahã' Ullãh who lived between 1817 and 1892 and the most recent in the line of messengers of God that stretches back beyond recorded times of human history starting from Adam. He(Bahã' Ullãh) wrote the scared scriptural book known as 'al-Kitãb al-Aqdas' which developed the Bahã'í faith doctrines into a comprehensive teaching.
The central theme of Bahã'í faith regards humanity as one regardless of race or ethnic background and that the day has come for its unification into one global society.The faith of Bahã' Ullãh is represented in every country on Earth. Bahã'ís are people who formery had different religions and who are united by Bahã'í faith.
Through a common devotion ,different economic status and social backgrounds ,the Bahã'í fulfilled their previous religious needs and expectations. The rich and poor mingle or mixes as equals and work together to establish a new order.
There are people of different nationals and different racial backgrounds. However Bahã'í faith has given them a new loyalty . The loyalty to humanity ,Bahã'í have no racial segregation because they believe that all man are equal before God.
Bahã'í recognise that there is only one God even though many had called him by different names.God had revealed his word throughout history by sending devine messengers who were restated in every age ,that's from Abraham ,Moses ,Zoroaster,Krishna,the Buddha,Jesus,Muhammad and Bahã' Ullãh.These messengers were provided to guide mankind through an evolutionary process in which Bãb initiated a new age for mankind. And final messege by Bahã'í is the fullest revelation of God's will and that is the major God-given instrument which help the world to unite. According to this faith God's revelation through a man is by means of 'Divine Manifestations'
The basic fundamental precepts of Bahã'í is the recognitions of other religions as devine origin and their principles are in complete harmony. Their differences are of no significance in its missions to mankind.
The historical background of this faith dates back in Persia (Iran) in 1844 when a young merchant called the Bãb announced that he was a messenger of God whose special mission was to prepare the people for the coming of the one spoken of in the holy books. The one who would unite the world as one under one shepherd.
Bãb 's faith spread so rapidly due to their mission and experienced massive growth in the early days of its inception that clergy and government were alarmed by nearly
5 000 000 believers worldwide,although adult converts were estimated around
2 300 000. And the consequences were bitter persecution also.This necessitated about 20 000 of the followers to put to death and Bãb himself imprisoned and martyred in 1850.
After Bahã' Ullãh's death ,he was succeeded by his son 'Abd ol -Bahã' resulted in the succession only within the progeny family until the great-grandson Shoghi Effendi Rabbãní who was elected in 1963 by the governing body known as the 'Universal House of Justice.'
