AIU wants to congratulate one of our graduates- James Gondwe Chisambi for his recent success.

James wrote his thesis on: “Impact of Culture on Communication Interactions: Case of Mixed Ethnic Secondary Schools in Botswana” and it has been published by the International Journal of Learning and Teaching Educational Research.

“The main purpose of this study was to examine the circumstances under which differences in cultures among students at Community Junior Secondary School level in Botswana influence or do not influence communication patterns in their social interactions. Despite the increasing ethnic plurality in student population in many urban and rural schools research on cross-cultural communicational interactions remain scanty. In order to assess this hypothesis- this research relies on theoretical and empirical data from a survey conducted among more than 26 students from three Community Junior Secondary Schools in Botswana. Summative evaluation results based on students from rural Community Junior Secondary Schools in the country revealed that 96.2% of the participants maintained social interactions and communication with schoolmates of cultural background other than their own.”
