This article examines the silent attrition of specialised personnel in the South African Police Service (SAPS), focusing on elite units such as the Tactical Response Team (TRT), National Intervention Unit (NIU), and Task Force. It aims to analyse the causes of departures, assess the impact on policing effectiveness, and propose evidence-based strategies for retention and operational sustainability. South African evidence (SAPS, 2023; ISS, 2022; CSVR, 2021; Parliament, 2023; Civilian Secretariat, 2022) reveals that highly trained members of specialised units are exiting quietly, leading to a loss of institutional knowledge, operational expertise, and mentorship capacity. International studies (UNODC, 2022; OECD, 2021; IACP, 2019; World Bank, 2020; Violanti et al., 2017) show similar trends in elite policing worldwide, linking attrition to burnout, organisational stress, and insufficient incentives. The quiet exit of these officers constitutes a systemic crisis affecting policing capacity and public safety. A systematic literature review was conducted, integrating five South African sources and five international sources across the themes of operational stress, organisational culture, leadership, psychological well-being, and private sector pull. Real-world examples, deployment statistics, and case studies from Johannesburg and Pretoria were used to contextualise findings. Comparative international evidence from NYPD, Metropolitan Police Service, and other elite units was included to provide global perspectives. The findings Operational Stress: High deployment rates and exposure to violent incidents contribute significantly to burnout and resignations. Leadership and Organisational Culture: Poor management, limited recognition, and lack of mentorship exacerbate attrition. Private Sector Pull: Competitive salaries and better working conditions in private security attract elite officers. Loss of Institutional Knowledge: Departure of senior officers reduces skill transfer and mentorship capacity. Psychological Health: Mental health challenges, trauma, and stress are key drivers of exit. International Parallels: Attrition patterns in elite units worldwide mirror South African trends, highlighting universal challenges in elite policing retention. The attrition of specialised SAPS officers represents a silent crisis with multi-level impacts, including reduced operational readiness, weakened mentorship structures, and diminished public trust. Addressing the crisis requires a combination of leadership reform, structured career pathways, competitive remuneration, psychological support, and systematic knowledge management. Implementation of these measures will strengthen retention, enhance operational effectiveness, and contribute to safer communities.

The Free Trade Agreement between Vietnam and the European Union (EU – Vietnam Free Trade Agreement - EVFTA) officially came into effect on August 1, 2020. After five years of implementation, the EVFTA has brought many economic benefits to the Vietnamese fisheries sector in general and Vietnamese seafood export businesses in particular. This article analyzes the benefits of the EVFTA for the Vietnamese fisheries sector, as well as the opportunities and challenges it presents, and proposes recommendations to contribute to the development of Vietnamese seafood exports in the future.

Trade unions are critical in championing for better work conditions and workers welfare at the workplace. They fight for good pay and dignified working conditions, reduce discrimination in the workplace, advance employment levels and giving advic e and counselling to members under various circumstances that they undergo. To achieve this, they have to operate within an established legal framework which has transformed over time from the period the country was a British colony all the way to attainment of independence and to date. Efforts have been made to improve the laws governing workers unions in Kenya, but still a lot needs to be done in terms of ensuring adherence and compliance to the rule of law, observance of constitutionalism and enforcement of the same. This article stresses the role of the legal system and government support in overcoming challenges emanating from weak laws, nonadherence, and disregard of the existing laws. We recommend that the legal framework requires some redefining and amendments to address some lacuna in the labour laws and that the existing laws be aligned with Kenya Constitution 2010 to streamline effe ctive running of trade unions. We recommend also for the inclusion of technology based initiatives in overcoming unforeseen la bour situations that created serious challenges that were experienced during the covid -19 pandemic. We conclude that despite efforts to improve laws governing the labour movement in the country there is need to reassess and revamp the legal framework which is still weak to create a level playing ground for players in the labour movement.

This study investigated the effect of study habits on academic achievement in Financial Accounting among Senior Secondary School II (SS2) students in Aba Education Zone, Abia State, Nigeria. The research specifically examined the role of personal (psychological) factors and peer group influence as sub-variables of study habits. The study adopted a correlational research design to determine the relationship between the independent variables and students’ academic performance in Financial Accounting. A total of 250 students were selected from public and private secondary schools in Aba Education Zone using a stratified random sampling technique to ensure representativeness. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire on a four-point Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (multiple regression analysis). The findings revealed that personal (psychological) factors, including motivation, self-efficacy, and attitude, had a significant positive effect on students’ academic achievement in Financial Accounting. Similarly, peer group influence was found to significantly affect students’ performance, indicating that positive peer interactions, collaborative learning, and academic encouragement enhance learning outcomes. Descriptive analysis further showed that respondents generally exhibited moderately high study habits, which contributed to their performance in Financial Accounting. Based on these findings, the study concluded that both internal factors (psychological) and external factors (peer-related) are crucial determinants of students’ academic success. The study recommends that students develop effective study routines, teachers promote collaborative learning, and parents and school administrators support positive peer interactions and motivational initiatives. It is further recommended that similar studies be conducted in other educational zones to generalize findings and explore additional variables that influence academic performance. This study contributes to educational research by highlighting the interplay between study habits, psychological factors, peer influence, and academic achievement, emphasizing the need for holistic approaches to improving students’ performance in Financial Accounting.
