Secondary education is the education after primary education, but before tertiary education. It improves on primary education and serves as a basis upon which tertiary education is built. Because of the sensitivity of this phase of education being given within the formative years of the child, it is deserving of special attention by all stakeholders in the sector. With the adoption of analysis of reports and articles on secondary education in Nigeria, the paper submits that secondary education in Nigeria is in dire need of transformation if it would continue to maintain its importance in both the educational and national development of the country. Findings showed that the secondary phase of education is faced with several problems which have negatively impacted on its purpose. These include poor funding, low staff motivation, poor remuneration of staff, poor quality assurance, lack of basic and requisite personnel and poor quality control. Prospects for transformation of the sub-sector include increasing funding by both state and federal governments, regular and proffer supervision of schools, ensuring capacity building of staff and adequate staff motivation.

One of the principles in the Civil Procedure Code is the principle of simplicity, speed and low cost. This is certainly the hope of every individual who is in court. By applying the principle of simple, fast and low-cost justice in the settlement of civil cases, it is hoped that the settlement process will not be delayed and can be completed in a short period of time, so that the costs incurred by the parties are not too high. In terms of realizing the simple, fast and low-cost principle, the Supreme Court (MA) issued Supreme Court Regulation (Perma) Number 2 of 2015 concerning Procedures for Settlement of Simple Lawsuits (Perma Simple Claims) which was stipulated on 7 August 2015 by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The issuance of the Simple Lawsuit Lawsuit is a response to the wishes of the public who need a simpler, quicker and lower cost dispute settlement procedure, especially in simple legal relations. In line with the development of time and the need to settle cases with simple lawsuits, Perma Number 2 of 2015 was subsequently amended by Supreme Court Regulation Number 4 of 2019 concerning Procedures for Settlement of Simple Claims. The principle of legal certainty in simple lawsuit procedures for debtors and creditors in credit agreements is that justice can be realized which includes elements of institutional certainty, mechanism certainty, and various predictive outputs. The application of procedural law must be flexible, not rigid and formalistic, in the interests of justice seekers who always want a simple, fast, inexpensive, thorough and final settlement of cases in accordance with the needs of today’s society in Indonesia.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reflects a country’s economy. The higher the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the healthier is the economy. Th objective of this study is to determine the best fit model to forecast the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the Philippines for the next five years (2022 – 2026). Using simple linear regression and multiple linear regression, the researcher found that there is significant linear relationship between the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and unemployment rate, population, household expenditure, and government expenditure. Multiple linear regression also showed that the only significant predictors are population, household expenditure, and government expenditure. By the results of graphing and using formulas available in the Microsoft excel, the researcher determined that the best fit model is sextic. This study can be considered by the government of the Philippines in making decisions in implementing policies for economic growth and stability.
