Introduction: As a new media, WeChat has both negative and positive effects on college students. This paper first analyzes the developmen status of WeChat in the population and the characteristics of college students' social interaction. Then we conducted a survey on the use of WeChat by college students of Anyang Normal University, focusing on the reasons, duration, WeChat main newsletter, communication of WeChat, and the discrimination between the true and false of WeChat information. We discuss the positive and negative impact of WeChat on college students. Finally, in view of the negative influence of WeChat, we give the corresponding strategic measures from three levels: college students themselves, universities, and university educators, so that college students can overcome and avoid the negative effects of WeChat, so as to better grow into talents.

It is undisputable that by and large, the general citizenry and governments of the Sub-Sahara Africa is of late pretty much come to align higher education to economic assurance than ever before. This has witnessed a considerable increase in the number of institutions of higher learning established and a number of students enrolling into these institutions. It can be deduced that such an increase challenges the quality assurance in its provision. It is therefore imperative for African states to put a great deal of emphasis on quality assurance procedures as they discharge the provision of university education. This paper explores literature on quality assurance procedures in universities in developing countries with particular reference to public and private universities in Tanzania. The perception of quality in university education is first analysed alongside the divert views of quality assurance mechanism, and with the scaling up of the approaches to quality assurance. The paper concludes that universities in developing countries should aim at implementing quality assurance procedures for institutional effectiveness and service and/or programme quality.

Teachers are charged with the responsibility of maintaining discipline in schools but at the same time be cognisant of disciplinary actions that would make school environment unfriendly. Unfriendly school environments impact negatively on students‟ learning. This study investigated actions teachers take against students who get caught up in disciplinary cases involving homosexual activities in school. Bandura‟s social learning theory informed this study and ex-post facto research design was used. Accessible population was approximately 35,000 form four students in public secondary schools within Nakuru County. Participating students were selected through purposive and stratified random sampling and 400 form four students participated in the study. A students‟ questionnaire was used to collect data and the instrument‟s reliability was estimated using Cronbach‟s alpha, a reliability coefficient of 0.763 was obtained. The questionnaire was validated by two experts from school of Education, Laikipia University, Kenya. Data was analysed qualitatively using percentages, frequency counts and graphs with assistance of Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 at α=.05. Majority of the students (76.5%) observed that sexual orientation is an issue of concern in their schools and teachers used various strategies to maintain discipline in school as far as inappropriate sex and sexuality behaviours were concerned. The study recommended in-service training of teachers with regard to sex and sexuality education issues encountered in schools as well as strengthening guidance and counselling strategies.
