NWU academic reflects on her B2 NRF rating
To be compelled to pursue research and to be grateful. These sentiments are what Prof Susan Coetzee-Van Rooy, research professor at the North-West University (NWU), values when she reflects on receiving her B2 National Research Foundation (NRF) rating in 2022. Prof Coetzee-Van Rooy is an NWU-grown B-rated scholar in languages – specifically…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/mislukking-van-banke-zimbabwe-die-gevolg-van-swak-regulatoriese-toesighouding
Mislukking van banke in Zimbabwe is die gevolg van swak regulatoriese toesighouding
Die algemene mislukking van banke in Zimbabwe oor die afgelope 20 jaar is nou verklaar: ’n vername rede is die ontoereikende toesighouding oor bankinstellings deur die Reserwebank van Zimbabwe (RBZ) en ander regulatoriese liggame. Dit is volgens die doktorale studie van Menelisi Ncube, wat onlangs as ’n doktor in die regte in handelsreg by die…http://news.nwu.ac.za/bank-failures-zimbabwe-are-due-poor-regulatory-supervision
Bank failures in Zimbabwe are due to poor regulatory supervision
The rampant failure of banks in Zimbabwe in the past 20 years has now been explained: a major reason is inadequate supervision of banking institutions by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) and other regulatory bodies. This is according to the doctoral study of Menelisi Ncube, who recently graduated from the North-West University (NWU) as a…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/navorser-wys-die-weg-aan-oor-hoe-om-akademiese-integriteit-te-bevorder
Navorser wys die weg aan oor hoe om akademiese integriteit te bevorder
Die akademiese wêreld kan maklik deur oneerlikheid en plagiaat geïnfiltreer word, veral in moeilike tye soos die afgelope twee jaar van die Covid-19-pandemie. Goeie akademiese praktyk is noodsaaklik vir dosente en studente.

Researcher points the way to enhancing academic integrity
The academic world can easily be infiltrated by dishonesty and plagiarism, especially in trying times such as the past two years of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ouers verskil van leerders en onderwysers in hulle sienings oor lyfstraf by skole
Dit is duidelik dat iets aan dissipline in skole gedoen moet word, maar om weer lyfstraf terug te bring, selfs op ’n beperkte skaal, is waarskynlik nie die antwoord nie. Dit is een van die bevindings van ’n studie deur dr Noorullah Shaikhnag, senior lektor en adjunkdirekteur by die Skool vir Psigososiale Opvoeding van die Noordwes-Universiteit…http://news.nwu.ac.za/parents-differ-learners-and-teachers-their-views-corporal-punishment-schools
Parents differ from learners and teachers in their views on corporal punishment in schools
It is clear that something needs to be done about discipline in schools, but reintroducing corporal punishment, even on a limited scale, is probably not the answer. This is one of the findings of a study by Dr Noorullah Shaikhnag, senior lecturer and deputy director at the School of Psycho-Social Education of the North-West University (NWU…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/waternet-simposium-n-groot-sukses
WaterNet-simposium ’n groot sukses
Water is ’n noodsaaklike komponent van lewe op aarde, en ons kan nie daarsonder oorleef nie. Die hartseer werklikheid is egter dat ons hierdie hulpbron as vanselfsprekend beskou en dat baie meer gedoen moet word om dit te bewaar. Die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) het sy deel gedoen deur die primêre gasheer van die 23ste WaterNet WARFSA/GWP-SA-…http://news.nwu.ac.za/waternet-symposium-great-success
WaterNet symposium a great success
Water is an essential component of life on earth, and without it we cannot survive. However, the sad reality is that we take this resource for granted, and much more should be done to conserve it.
