Many medical and pharmacy information resources can be accessed efficiently via the Internet (including information that can be used at the point of care), such as practice guidelines, tertiary references, and governmental/regulatory information. High-quality graphics are plentiful on the Internet and can benefit pharmacists in both patient education and preparation of presentations. Using multimedia resources with patients should improve their retention and... 

The sample consisted of 1012 respondents of whom just over half (57%) were Australian, 22% were from United Kingdom and the rest (21%) were from other Western countries. The percentage of male (47%) and female (53%) respondents was quite closely balanced. Slightly more than half (53%) were relatively younger respondents under 36 years of age. Nearly one quarter (23%) of the sample held professional or technical positions and more than half (56%) had completed their tertiary education. For the respondents travel experience, nearly half (47%) were quite experienced in their domestic travel, indicating at least 26 separate travel events each while more than 53% had travelled overseas five times or more. 

Modern higher education (i.e, tertiary education) started with the founding of the University of Ibadcm in 1948 and other such institutions in 1961,1962,1970, etc. Currently there eire a total of 37 universities in the country.

It would not be incorrect to conclude that the limited opportunities for tertiary education laid the foundations of an examination-driven and academically focused education system with the main aim of preparing for the high stakes examinations. The deep-rooted strong academic traditions with examinations and scholarships still dominate the system. 

His observations on practices of science education are still valid at least in Mauritius where the access to secondary and tertiary education is controlled by a system of external examinations. 

We would also like to pay a special tribute to all the sponsors of the 20 ICCE and, in particular, the Tertiary Education Commission (http //tec.intnet.mu/) and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (http //www.opcw.org/) for kindly agreeing to fund the publication of these proceedings.

The quality control manager should preferably be a qualified registered pharmacist, or at least with tertiary education in the relevant field. He should have adequate training and practical experience which can enable him to perform his function professionally. The quality control manager should be given full authority and responsibility in all quality control duties such as establishment, verification and implementation of ail quality control procedures. He should have the sole authority to approve starting materials, intermediate, bulk and finished products that meet the specification or to reject those which do not conform to the relevant specification or which were not manufactured in accordance with approved procedures and under the defined conditions. 

Whilst models and modelling bring history and philosophy of chemistry together, the construction and testing of these takes place in the laboratory. This provides the justification for Chapter 4, which focuses on laboratory work in general in chemical education. Research into the historical evolution of laboratory work at both secondary and tertiary level is reviewed. It is concluded that, because the purposes for laboratory work have historically been ill-defined, research into its effectiveness has inevitably been inconclusive. Two alternatives from this conclusion are discussed that laboratory work in chemical education should be abandoned as an historical anachronism that it should be reformed. Following the more positive line. 

In Australia, vocational education was traditionally supplied on an apprenticeship model in which occupational employers were co-partners with technical schools and other institutions. The national emergence of a Technical and Further Education (TAPE) sector of education in the 1970s began rather slowly to change this model. The TAPE institutions set out to reshape vocational education as a tertiary level of education, that also had the potential to overlap with senior secondary education in new ways. 

To be selected to enter these academic university courses it is a common requirement that the applicants have studied chemistry in the senior years of secondary schooling. This pre-requisite requirement of school chemistry applies not only to courses in which the study of chemistry continues, but also to other courses in which chemistry is not explicitly further studied. In general, as full secondary education has become such a mass phenomenon, there has been a relaxation of the curricular connection between senior secondary school and university and many tertiary courses now specify no pre-requisite subjects.
