    EQUALITY AND EQUITY ISSUES RELATING TO ONLINE TEACHING IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING
    (management university of africa, 2025-11) Mrs. Mabel Odima; Dr. Agnes Korir
    There is an increasing concern on the major gap that exists in the level of equality and equity that emanates from online learning. During the Covid lockdown that occurred worldwide four years ago, online teaching and learning was adopted as the most viable avenue to ensure continuity of learning. It was an alternative that produced both equality and equity challenges from the onset. The objective of this desktop research is to address the gender issues around equality among the different sexes of university students in the same home. It focused on which gender was allowed time to concentrate on learning and why. Was the male child allowed to concentrate with studies while the female interrupted to perform other duties amidst learning. Was fairness practiced or were there discrepancies in how parents administered online learning? Equity, which is a by-product emanating from the process, will only focus on the effect of preferential treatment on one gender over the other on how that would in turn hamper with the future opportunities of the affected gender. A cross-sectional review of recent studies was analyzed to compare results and draw conclusions which led to certain possible positive recommendations on curbing the effects post lockdown as well as prevention of reoccurrence of the same in case of any future pandemic or global lockdown. The essence is to recognize that each person may have different circumstances, but resources and time must be allocated equally to enable all reach an equal outcome.

    (management university of africa, 2025-11) Elvis Ingadi Ludenyo; Dr. Agnes Korir
    Entrepreneurship is sometimes idealized as a quest motivated by passion and tenacity, but what really distinguishes successful businesses from transient startups? The complicated link between entrepreneurship and business expansion is investigated in this paper together with the necessary traits enabling scalability in the present competitive market. The objective of this study is to transcend conventional business discourse and ascertain the essential principles that facilitate the transformation of startups into high growth organizations. We examine the interplay between entrepreneurial attitude, strategic agility, innovation ecosystems, and access to financing in determining long-term success. We analyze the significance of digital transformation, data-driven decision-making, and global market integration in contemporary business expansion. Methodologically, this study uses a mixed-methods approach combining case studies with qualitative insights from company executives and successful entrepreneurs with quantitative data from industry reports and market analytics. Examined is peer-reviewed material from the past five years in order to identify trends in high-growth businesses spanning many sectors. Also provided are actual case studies of companies who have overcome the odds by using strategic pivoting, disruptive innovation, and strong leadership to scale successfully. Findings indicate that although finance access is still vital, growth-oriented companies give adaptability, customer-centric innovation top priority along with strong digital infrastructure. Furthermore, companies who embrace sustainability and social impact not only get competitive benefits but also build investor trust in a time of conscious capitalism. The paper emphasizes even more the growing relevance of entrepreneurial ecosystems—were cooperation among entrepreneurs, investors, legislators, and academics promotes faster development. This research contests traditional beliefs, highlighting that entrepreneurship beyond mere firm creation; it involves orchestrating growth. This research paper provides a framework for businesses, governments, and investors hoping to create globally competitive, scalable, and resilient companies by synthesizing factual facts and expert opinions. This research paper enhances the current discussion on business evolution by providing practical techniques for traversing the intricate and frequently uncertain journey of entrepreneurial success. The findings are an essential resource for corporate executives and academia, emphasizing that sustainable growth is not coincidental but rather purposefully designed.
