In 1950, the world population aged 60 years and above was 205 million (8.2 per cent of the population) which increased to 606 million (10 per cent of the population) in 2000.

The policy of free primary education in Kenya, although highly commendable, has resulted to a baffling phenomenon where parents in urban slums are withdrawing their children from public to private primary schools. This clearly suggests that parents seem to have confidence in private schools than in public schools. The emergence of low fee private schools whose accreditation is in doubt is indeed an interesting phenomenon worth exploring. It is no longer a question of whether private schools exist but rather to what extent private schools supplement the government in providing basic education. While the government bears the sole responsibility of providing education to all children, the findings from three researches discussed in this paper portray a different reality. The number of private schools especially in the slums almost outnumbers government schools despite the fact that public primary schools are free. This trend raises key policy issues regarding the role of the private sector in collaborating with the government in providing quality education to all citizens. Indeed, the emergence of low cost private schools in urban slums presents an unexploited, though potent, opportunity for public-private partnership in the provision of basic education.

The growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) presented new challenges for medical humanitarian aid and little was known about primary health care approaches for these diseases in humanitarian response. We aimed to evaluate UNHCR’s use of total CVD risk based prevention strategies amongst refugees in Morocco to identify opportunities to improve total CVD risk based guidance for humanitarian settings. We evaluated CVD risk assessment and management in two outpatient NCD clinics in Morocco using a mixed methods design with qualitative and quantitative strands of equal priority, Integrate during data collection and interpretation during three years. We reviewed the clinical records of 400 patients. The number of consultations has increased by half between 2016 and 2018. The average age of the patients was 48 +/- 12.6 with a predominance of patients in the age group between 40 and 50. The sex ratio was 1,7 of men, the majority of patients consulted once time, the country of origin was Syria in 40% of cases, the most risk factor founded was hypertension in almost 70% of case, a history of coronary artery disease was present in almost 6% of cases, chest pain was the most frequent reason for consultation followed by headache, and the diagnosis was arterial hypertension in 58% of cases followed by ischemic heart disease In 26% of cases. All patients underwent a complete clinical examination, with an electrocardiogram based on the indications; echocardiography was performed in 37% of patients and coronarography in 10% with surgery in 1.5% and catheter intervention in 1.5% of cases. Most patients had at least one medical treatment to take. The high prevalence of unhealthy behaviors and risk factors for Heart disease in refugee groups might be a lifestyle remnant from their country of birth or might be brought about by a stressful migration and acculturation into a new social and cultural environment. Nevertheless, it is important in primary healthcare to be aware of a possible preventable increased risk of unhealthy behaviors and risk factors for heart disease in some immigrants.
