Distance Learning in Prisons: Perspectives on Expanding Educational Access to Marginalized Inmate-Prisoners
Authors: Salum Msoroka Mohamed
Published: January 2024

This study explored the issue of relevance of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) in expanding educational access to prisoners. In so doing, one key research question “how relevant is the ODL system in expanding educational access to Tanzanian prisoners?” was addressed. Through a discourse analysis approach, data were collected from the analysis of relevant documents. Documents such as policies, theses, journal articles, relevant websites, books, reports, and newspapers which were thought to be relevant to the study were analysed. With the guidance of the checklist, all relevant information which could assist in addressing the research question was recorded and then, the raw data were properly documented to form transcripts. The raw data from the transcripts were then thematically analysed to form themes and sub-themes which then became the headings/parts of this paper. The findings suggest that prison education is a relevant approach for prisoner rehabilitation. However, considering that prisons are complex environments (total institutions), it is difficulty to conduct education through conventional or/and evening class approaches, hence, ODL is considered a more appropriate approach to expand prisoners’ access to education. This paper calls for both Single Mode and Dual Mode Open and Distance learning institutions – in collaboration with the Tanzania Prisons Service (TPS) – to develop relevant ODL courses for prisoners to serve the purpose.
Teacher’s Perception on the Contribution of Pretend Play on Children’s Self-Regulation in Tanzanian Pre-primary Schools
Authors: Shavega Theresia J.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore teachers’ perceptions on the contribution of pretend play on self-regulation behavior among young children in pre-primary schools in a Tanzanian context. Four groups prepared hypothetical pretend play; these addressed aggressive, isolation, hyperactive and prosocial behaviours, and were purposively included in the study to explore their contribution on children’s self-regulation. This was a case study design, whereas, in-depth interview was used to collect data. Twenty participants participated in this study. The findings revealed that some teachers are aware about the contribution of pretend play they prepared on children’s self-regulation behavior in pre-primary school; while some argued that pretend play contributes solely on learning numeracy, arithmetic and fun.  The study recommends that pre-primary teachers should be trained on the contribution of pretend play in a wider perspective, including behavior self-regulation which forms a foundation of learning adjustment and other social skills.
Theorizing Professionalism and Morals Principles in Inclusive Education
Authors: Mwinjuma Juma S.
Published: January 2024

This paper examines professional integrities within the field of inclusive education. The concept of inclusive education is rooted in the philosophy of moral principles, as it concerns issues of equity, access, justice, and care of students with diverse learning needs. Theorists and educators do agree that inclusion is a fundamental right, which is sustained by the Salamanca Statement (1994) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006). The focus of inclusive education is to provide education regardless of any challenges learners may have. In inclusive education, learners are placed in age-appropriate general education classes that are in their own neighbourhood schools to receive high quality instruction, interventions, and supports that enable them to meet success in the core curriculum (Bui, Quirk, Almazan, & Valenti, 2010; Alquraini & Gut, 2012). Internationally, different countries have tried to adopt educational systems that support inclusive education in varying capacities and structures. However, the moral dimensions of inclusion are often lacking in theoretical and practice as well as in inclusion related discussions. The paper highlight the nature of morality within inclusive education, with an examination of moral dilemmas, challenges, and tensions, grounded in empirical evidence, which transpire in the shades of an educator’s work.
Role of Research in Teaching: Analysis of PhD Programs and PhD Graduates at the Open University of Tanzania
Authors: Mkwizu Kezia
Published: January 2024

Africa still has low numbers of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) graduates. PhD programmes avail opportunities to doctoral students pursuing research by thesis or course work. Although existing literature is available on postgraduate students but the numbers of PhD graduates is still insufficient. Furthermore, there are limited studies that have conducted research on PhD programmes and PhD graduates. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to explore PhD programmes and PhD graduates at the Open University of Tanzania (OUT). The specific objective was to examine PhD programmes on offer and the output of PhD graduates. This paper uses literature review method as the source of information for PhD programmes and PhD graduands, and adopts the Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN) approach. Content analysis and descriptive statistics were used to provide findings. The findings of this paper showed that although PhD programmes are offered by OUT, the numbers of PhD graduates are inadequate due to reasons such as management style within departments. The outcome of low PhD graduands ranging between 7 to 14 per graduation ceremony for the period 2016 to 2018 implies low output of PhD graduates meaning that ultimately there is less research in terms of research output and therefore, OUT will continue to have study material dependency on other educational institutions instead of research generated within OUT for purposes of teaching and further research. Future research can explore the relationship between research and challenges for Masters’ students in higher education.
Prisoner to Lawyer, Wayward to Welder: Tanzanian Prison Education through the Lens of ‘Perspective Transformation.
Authors: Msoroka Mohamed S.
Published: January 2024

This qualitative case study discusses the contribution of prison education on prisoners’ rehabilitation through a change of frames of references. The study addresses one key research question: Does prison education in Tanzania contribute to prisoners’ perspective transformation? In this study, one lens through which I view prison education is that of perspective transformation, which enables individuals to critically reflect upon and change their previous frames of references for the better. This article draws ideas from Mezirow’s ‘perspective transformation’ and discusses the connections between prison education and rehabilitation of prisoners. A snowball technique helped to locate two ex-prisoners who attended prison education, and they were individually interviewed. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. This study indicates that the two ex-prisoners had undergone a perspective transformation. Hence, it could be argued that prison education can transform prisoners. From this perspective, the study calls for prisons to expand educational access to prisoners.
Efficacy of Tutoring Modes in enhancing the Development of Study Skills among Students at The Open University of Tanzania
Authors: Jonas Janeth O. , Ng’umbi Michael W.
Published: January 2024

Studying in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) setting is challenging as students tend to encounter a number of challenges, as a result of the nature of the environment in which teaching and learning is set-up. However, literature reveals that provision of healthy tutoring support which enhances the development of study skills tends to address most of the encountered challenges. This is because when students in educational setting, ODL in particular, are adequately equipped with study skills, they become self-directed, independent and autonomous; the aspects which are essential for successful learning in ODL context. This study, therefore, sought to explore the efficacy of tutoring support provided via different tutoring modes, in enhancing the development of essential study skills among students at the Open University of Tanzania. The study employed survey research design to gather data from 270 undergraduate students from eight regional centres through a closed-up questionnaire. Composite and correlation analyses were employed to analyse data. The findings revealed that the available tutoring modes had limited ability to enhance the development of essential study skills among students. This observation came as a result of low mean scores that most of the items rated; indicating students’ disagreement to have been assisted to acquire essential study skills. The study recommended that serious measures need to be realised at OUT, in order to ensure that the available tutoring modes meet their goal by equipping students with essential study skills for successful learning.
Managing Stress in Times of Change for Teachers’ Wellbeing and Commitment to Change in Tanzanian Education Sector
Authors: Ngirwa Coletha C.
Published: January 2024

This review attempts to explain the strategic importance of managing stress in times of change for teachers’ wellbeing and commitment to change in education sector in Tanzania. Building on Lewin’s change management theory, stress management strategies based on ethical leadership values (care, respect, integrity, and justice) were suggested to escalate teachers’ wellbeing, and commitment to changes in secondary schools. The findings revealed that teachers’ stress can be originated from unclear vision of educational managers, fear of the unknown, job insecurity and uncertainties on the job in times of change in secondary schools. Also, the findings suggest that leadership roles of clearly communicating the vision, supporting teachers, being fair, considerate, and respectful during times of change in secondary schools are central to managing stress in times of change. This review calls for empirical test of the relationship between stress management and teachers’ commitment to change initiatives in secondary schools.

This is a survey article sharing experiences from COVID-19 crisis in developing country like Tanzania. COVID-19 crisis in Tanzania was announced early this year. Since then the government and people of Tanzania have been trying on fighting the pandemic. Tanzania decided not to take the common way of lock downs like most countries in order to contain the spread of the disease. The government urged people to take precautions while continue working. One of the precautions was closing universities. Now this article is putting forward the implications and lessons learned from COVID-19 by marketing students after closure of the universities. Experience is drawn from 26 students using snowball sampling procedure where in- depth interviews were conducted to undergraduate and working part-time graduate students. The sample was taken from public and private universities and cross section research design was used. Content analysis was carried out. Collaborations and sharing digital learning experience before crisis universities and businesses were the summary findings. Thus there are lot to learn by universities, students and businesses as a result of the crisis.
Parental Reading Support Activities and Children’s Reading Achievement in Tanzania
Authors: Kigobe Janeth , Ogondiek Mary
Published: January 2024

Parents’ activities to support their children in reading and their children’s reading skills was studied to 600 grade 2 children and their parents in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Parents completed a questionnaire on parental involvement activities, i.e. encouragement, reinforcement, modeling and instruction. Children’s reading abilities were tested with a reading test measuring word decoding, reading fluency and reading comprehension. Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices test was used to control for children’s IQ. Results showed that IQ was not related to children’s word decoding and reading fluency, but there was an association between IQ and some aspects of children’s reading comprehension. Although parents’ level of education correlated significantly with children’s reading, parents’ reading was not related to children’s reading. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed a statistically significant, but weak association between parental reading support activities with all three aspects of children’s reading. The usefulness of an intervention to stimulate early literacy is discussed.
An Assessment of the Internal Quality Assurance Mechanisms at the Open University of Tanzania
Authors: Njihia Mukirae , Chilumika Neema
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to assess the status of Quality Assurance systems at the Open University of Tanzania (OUT) as well as give recommendations for improvement.  The study employed the exploratory sequential mixed methods design that had three phases. The study sample comprised of one senior staff from the Quality Assurance directorate and 12 Heads of departments. Data was collected through an interview and a questionnaire. Qualitative data was analysed thematically while quantitative data was analysed descriptively using frequencies and mean. The study established that OUT had put in place an elaborate Quality Assurance (QA) framework with a directorate of QA headed by a director under the office of the Vice Chancellor. The university also had an IQA policy document as well as a QA handbook. The QA directorate had embraced the use of ICT as it employed online tools for monitoring various activities in the institution. The university also carried out a Self-Assessment every five years. However, the IQA at the university was faced by the following challenges: inadequate funding, understaffing of the IQA directorate, negative attitude by university staff towards QA staff, lack of involvement of HoDs in planning QA activities amongst others. The study recommends the following: the university should adequately staff and fund the QA directorate; the QA directorate should develop its activities in a participatory manner; and the QA directorate should increase sensitization of the university community on QA policies and issues.
Does Parents’ Valence toward School Relate to their Perceptions of Invitation to School Involvement?
Authors: Kigobe Janeth
Published: January 2024

Parents’ involvement in children's schooling is usually affected by their prior personal experience with schooling. Thus, if we want to assess parents’ involvement in school activities and their children's learning it is crucial to assess their prior personal experience with schooling. This study, therefore, examined the relationship between parents' self-reported valance toward school and their perceptions of invitations to the involvement of the school, teachers, and their child. The study involved 1176 low-income parents of children from 55 primary schools in four regions in Northern Tanzania. A multivariate linear regression model showed that parents' prior schooling experience (school valence) has a statistically significant effect on parents' perceptions of general invitations from school, teachers, and specific invitations from the child. Results showed that the school attributes could affect the relationship between parents' valence and their perceptions of involvement invitations. Possible interventions to promote inclusive parental involvement through supportive schools will be discussed.
Vocabulary Size and Learners’ Performance across Levels of Text Comprehension: A Case of First-Year Students at the University of Dodoma
Authors: Mbwafu Frida Alfred , Biseko John Misana
Published: January 2024

This study examined the relationship between vocabulary size and learners’ performance across the three levels of text comprehension among 230 first-year students from three programmes in the University of Dodoma (UDOM). The Vocabulary Size Test (VST) by Nation and Beglar (2007) and a Reading Test were used to answer three questions: (1) What is the vocabulary size of the sampled first-year university students at UDOM? (2) What is the performance of the sampled first-year university students across the three levels of text comprehension? (3) What is the relationship between the students’ vocabulary size and their performance across the levels of text comprehension? The results showed that, on average, the students did not have adequate vocabulary size required to understand authentic texts; they had a moderate reading comprehension at the literal level while their comprehension of texts at inferential and critical levels was relatively low. The results depicted a strong positive relationship between vocabulary size and each level of text comprehension. Regression analysis indicated that vocabulary size was powerful enough to predict performance at each level of text comprehension. Therefore, it is suggested that university students should be assisted to promote their vocabulary size as the latter has an impact on text comprehension and university academic success.
Leadership Styles and Turnover Intentions of Public Secondary School Teachers in Dodoma, Tanzania: The Mediating Role of Team-Member Exchange
Authors: Samu Juhudi Elirehema , Malingumu Winifrida Saimon
Published: January 2024

Using a survey study design with 133 public secondary school teachers in Dodoma, this paper explores the relationship between leadership style (both Transformational and Transactional) and teachers’ turnover intentions with mediating effect of Team Member Exchange. The study found that teachers’ turnover intentions have a negative relation with transformational leadership style, while transactional leadership style has a positive relationship. Also, TMX was observed to have a positive relationship with transformational leadership style, while transactional leadership style has a negative relationship. Despite teachers’ turnover intentions and TMX being observed to have a negative relationship, there was no mediating effect of TMX on transformational leadership style and teachers’ turnover intentions. At the same time, there was a negatively mediating effect of TMX between transactional leadership style and teacher turnover intentions. The findings of this study provided insight into a leadership style that may be used to motivate and encourage teachers to work even more complex and reduces turnover intention. The findings can help develop strategies and programmes for heads of schools to improve their leadership styles that would enable the retention of public secondary school teachers.
Library’s Legal Framework: Legislations, Regulations and Policies on Educational Transformation in Tanzania-An Enabler or Deterrent?
Authors: Samzugi Athumani. S.
Published: January 2024

This is an exploratory paper which presents an analysis of the state of the library legal framework, and its impact on educational transformation in Tanzania. The paper focuses on legal and policy aspects of the law, to establish whether they enable or deter the education transformation process and to propose reforms. The data were collected through document analysis. The reviewed documents include the Education Act Cap 353 of 2002 and the School Library Resource Centres Regulations (2002); Copyright and Neighboring Rights (Licensing of Reproduction and Rental Rights) Regulations, 2014; Education policy of 2014; the National Library Policy; and Tanzania Library Service Board Act 1975. Others are the Sokoine  National Agricultural  Library Act No 7 of 1991; the role of  Open Educational Resources (OER) in education, and the significance of the legal framework. The study established that the 2014 Education Policy is silent on library-related issues. Although the Education Act Cap 353 sect 60 (u) G.N No.282 (2002) assigns the Minister of education powers to affect the provisions of the Act, such instructions are missing in the parent Education Act. Some sections of the Legal Framework are inconsistent with the educational transformation in Tanzania. Based on these findings, it is argued here that a conducive environment for educational transformation may be attained by the following. First, by amending the existing legal framework. Second, by ameliorating the legal framework of the Education Act Cap 353 60 (u), Copyright and Neighboring Rights (Licencing of Reproduction and Rental Rights) Regulations (2014). Third, by enhancing awareness amongst library professionals of the laws, regulations and policies enacted by the Government.
Civil Servants’ Perception Towards The Open University of Tanzania
Authors: Kiwonde Flora Mercury
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the civil servants’ perceptions towards the Open University of Tanzania (OUT). The study employed a qualitative research approach, guided by distance learning theory, self-perception theory and mathematical theory of communication, involving 81 sampled civil servants. A case study research design with interviews and focused group discussion (FGD) were employed in the study. The collected data were analyzed through thematic and discourse analysis. The findings revealed that there is both positive perception and negative perception from civil servants about OUT. The findings also revealed that civil servants had a good understanding of the term OUT although some of them used OUT and ODL interchangeably. It was further revealed that the number of civil servants enrolled in the ODL programmes offered by OUT was notably lower as a result of limited experiences and insufficient details about the OUT programmes and its mode of delivery. The nature, availability, and formats of information about OUT raised concerns among civil servants. The study recommended that OUT as the ODL flag bearer, should continue packaging, showcasing, sharing, and updating information on ODL in the society. This will improve understanding and eventually the participation of the community, particularly the civil servants, in ODL programmes at OUT.

THE MANAGEMENT ASPECT OF VOCATIONAL SKILL TRAINING OUTCOMES: THE MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTIUON AND LEARNING IN TANZANIA VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING INSTITUTIONS
Authors: F. Barongo, M.
Published: January 2024

Hindrances or barriers to learning faced by learners with poor English background in Tanzania Vocational Training Centres (VETs) can lead to increased feelings of desperation, frustration, helplessness and inadequacy. In some cases these outcomes lead to course withdrawal and lowered chances of breaking through the boundaries and achieving job attainment and satisfaction. This research aims to investigate whether the needs of these learners who did not master the medium of instruction were being met by the Information Technology (IT) training they received and whether their difficulties and major hindrances were primarily institutionally (related to theÂ  IT training process) or non-institutionally grounded. A questionnaire was used to collect both quantitative and qualitative information and to identify learners who do not master the medium of training (VTCs). The results indicate that both institutional (e.g. poor quality instructions) and non-institutional factors are implicated as hindrances to learning. Code switching was preferred by many learners from a group of those who attended primary education in Non English medium schools (NEMS) Some suggested ways within the training institution of breaking through the barriers are discussed.

Le fétichisme africain dans les romans, Madame la présidente de Fatou Fanny-Cissé et Un nègre a violé une Blonde à Dallas de Ramonu Sanusi
Authors: RABIU Iyanda
Published: January 2024

The fetishism to which this medicine is intrinsically linked is so important in Africa that it forms the central theme of certain African literary works, like Madame la présidente of Fatou Fanny-Cissé and Un nègre a violé une Blonde à Dallas of Ramonu Sanusi. These works, while revealing the authenticity of the effects of fetishes, prove that they give people both mystical powers and the ability to get out of dangerous situations. We use the method of text explanation and the socio-cultural theory propagated by Vygotsky to justify our choice of works. The conclusion shows that traditional medicine can serve as an effective means of solving any problem and can constitute a promising industry that African countries can exploit and export to the international world to solve medical and psychological problems.
LA RÉHABILITATION DU SOUFISME DANS L’UNIVERS ISLAMIQUE : LA PLAIDOIRIE D’ABÛ ḤÂMID AL-GHAZÂLÎ
Authors: CISSE Mouhamadou Alpha
Published: January 2024

Sufism is generally defined as a mystical and Muslim current whose objective would be, by means of absolute submission to the intrinsic principles of a rigidly orthodox Islam, to achieve moral and spiritual perfection. In a straight line of always recalling the profound meaning and supreme purpose of religion, al-Ghazâlî was always of the opinion that Islam must be apprehended in the outward and inward dimensions, the letter and the spirit. This prompted him, at the end of a decade-long spiritual retreat, to try to breathe, through an orthodoxized mysticism, a new breath into an Islam that has never been seen before threatened to ankylose in a fixed juridism. However, Sufism was often stumbled against the delusions used by narcissistic introverts to mystify the less informed, hence the all-out criticism it has always been the object of since its outbreak. His definitive rehabilitation passed through Abû Ḥâmid al-Ghazâlî whose panacea he proposed managed, all the same, to give him the right of citizenship in the Islamic landscape while bringing together systematically the jurists and the Sufis.

L’éléatisme négatif de Zénon d’Élée : étude de trois paradoxes zénoniens au service du monisme de Parménide
Authors: NDIAYE Mamadou
Published: January 2024

Parmenides, father of philosophy from a thematic point of view for having inaugurated the reflection on being, is, in the repertoire of ancient philosophical systems, presented as an absolute monist, which will earn him, moreover, the remonstrances of one of his most illustrious admirers, Plato, who holds him to be the father of right philosophy. Indeed, in the system of Parmenides, his ontology, the existence of being is increased so that no other existence is possible, mainly that of its counterpart, which is non-being, and that of movement. There’s only being. There’s only being (Pourquoi cette répétition? Il faut vous rapprocher d’un traducteur pour vous traduire cette phrase). A dry monism which can be translated by these verses of the Poem: “that It is, and that it is impossible for anything not to be” (Parmenides, Poem, II, v. 3: ὅπως ἔστιν τε καὶ ὡς οὐκ ἔστι µὴ εἶναι). This thesis, on which are grafted all the views of Parmenides, will be taken to task by the young Pythagoreans, the atomists but also the first generation of sophists. Despite these joint attacks, the Eleatic system will resist. Better still, he will counter-attack through the intermediary of the most famous disciple of Parmenides, Zeno of Elea. The latter seems not to have developed an autonomous and positive system. All his work is resolved in a defense of the system erected by Parmenides. To do this, he will develop a series of paradoxes, four following what Aristotle reported, to respond to the informers of the old Eleatic. This essay would like to examine three of them.

L’esclave : perception des Romains à travers la comédie de Plaute.
Authors: FALL Mbaye
Published: January 2024

In Rome, at the time of Plautus, slaves were considered as things ( res) and not as people. They had no rights and could do nothing about the behavior of certain crooked masters. They came from other countries and practiced various trades in Rome. It is this reflection of this perception of the Romans of the status of foreigners that we find in the comedy of Plautus, because the theater of the latter is only an accurate representation of societal realities. In the plautinian theater, this slave is represented as an inferior being who has a status that marginalizes him.
La place de Titus Flavius Gaianus dans la cité d’Ancyre en Galatie pendant l’époque sévérienne : carrière politique et reconnaissance civique
Authors: BALDÉ Sana
Published: January 2024

With the decline of the Hellenistic kingdoms from the 2nd century BC, the Greek cities of Asia Minor became increasingly dependent on their wealthy citizens, known as notables, to take on the most onerous public duties. This situation was exacerbated during the Roman imperial era, when the notables, thanks to their generosity and notoriety, not only assumed most of the public functions, but were also very often sent on embassies to plead for the granting of a few exceptional privileges on behalf of their cities with the imperial authorities, with whom they sometimes formed a privileged relationship. Titus Flavius Gaianus, a Roman knight and member of the aristocracy of the city of Ancyra in Galatia, fell into this category of notables who were honoured by the deliberative bodies of their respective cities in clear recognition of their socio-political careers and their benefactions.
Raoul de Cambrai, la geste d’une vendetta sans fin « molt bien m’en vengerai »
Authors: KANE Maïmouna
Published: January 2024

Raoul de Cambrai is a bloody 12th century chanson de geste in which the motive of revenge is the main driving force behind the action. In trying to repair the wrong that King Louis has done him by granting his lands to another knight, Raoul finds himself at the origin of an endless conflict which opposes him to Bernier, his vassal. The two former friends have an implacable hatred for each other that will bring about their end for both of them. Members of Raoul’s lineage confront those of Bernier’s lineage. The protagonists of the song seem condemned to evolve in a cycle of violence caused by their constant desire for revenge. Would revenge be a way to revive the action by provoking battles ? Does revenge maintain the epic character of the chanson de geste ? Clashes over several generations do not solve the initial problem. Howhever there is a way to put an end to all these revenge ventures. It seems that religion could offer a way out for the various protagonists engaged in acts of revenge. Indeed they can, like Christ, forgive the opposite party and start afresh on new bases.

Community Health Diagnosis (CHD) is part of teaching-learning activities at medical and public health schools to recognize the health-related issues in the community, identify social and other problems in depth, and find solutions by shaking hands with community people. Every year, the household survey is conducted by medical, nursing, and public health students as a part of CHD. Our experiences revealed that the student faces several challenges while using paper-based data collection and management during CHD. To overcome such challenges, we used a web-based and smart mobile application called KoboToolbox/KoboCollect to conduct household surveys in CHD in remote areas of Nepal for the first time. Our experience suggests that mobile-based Applications can be used conveniently in CHD which saves time and money for students as well as for schools and can conserve the environment trees. Those students who are not familiar with smart technology need to be trained before using this app.

Authors: Muhammad Maghfur Agung  , Yusuf Eko Nahuddin
Published: January 2024

This study aims to examine basic environmental rights in accordance with the teachings of Saminism and their arrangements in the constitution. This study uses a type of normative research. The approach used is the conceptual approach and the statutory approach. The results of the study reveal that there are five basic environmental rights according to the teachings of saminism, namely the right to be managed properly, the right to be planted, the right to be protected, the right to be preserved, and the right to be used as necessary. However, the constitution of the Republic of Indonesia has not regulated this matter. Liability to the environment is regulated in the Environmental Protection and Management law, but the form of the obligation is unclear. Therefore, obligations to the environment need to be regulated clearly and unequivocally, both in the constitution and regulations under it.
