The first underground school is being built in the southern Ukrainian city Zaporizhzhia, where it's expected that children will be able to attend in-person classes in autumn. The school, which is designed to accommodate 500 students, is being built almost seven metres underground. The new underground school is being built to accommodate students from two nearby schools so lessons will take place in two shifts. At the nearby overground School Number 88, a third radiation shelter is under construction which will also double as a classroom for offline learning. "Our school is the only one in this...

Last week, Oklahoma state Superintendent Ryan Walters announced that the state could soon require public schools to teach the Bible and the Ten Commandments, including requiring religious text be included in all classrooms. "Every teacher, every classroom in the state will have a Bible in the classroom and will be teaching from the Bible in the classroom," Walters said last Thursday, "to ensure that this historical understanding is there for every student in the state of Oklahoma." The statement came just days after the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that the state could not approve a religious ...

On July 1, news broke on local social media channels that the Nigeria-born writer and poet Funso Aiyejina, who made Trinidad and Tobago his home, had died in his sleep. He was 75 years old.

Born in 19...

Last month, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) signed a bill mandating that a copy of the Ten Commandments be displayed in all public school classrooms in Louisiana. The law, House Bill 71, requires that the religious scripture be displayed on a poster or frame sized at least 11 inches by 14 inches and in a "large, easily readable font." Apparently anticipating a First Amendment challenge to the mandatory religious text, lawmakers included several provisions that attempt to strengthen the law against a constitutional challenge. For example, the law prohibits schools from using taxpayer funds to fi...

Governments need to do more to boost financial literacy among students, said the OECD on releasing their latest PISA publication. The study, a money-focused section of a wider report on education, is based on tests completed by nearly 100,000 15-year-olds in 2022. Participating students were located across 14 OECD and 6 partner economies. With 18% of students in OECD countries performing at or below the most basic level of financial literacy, the group's Secretary-General Mathias Cormann stressed "the need to better equip young people with the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and in...

New York (AFP) - Nahun Romero, a Honduran footballer who arrived in New York penniless and undocumented, is living his American dream in the Big Apple where he leads a successful sports school. Romero's soccer academy, with its hundreds of hopeful kids, might have been unimaginable for the Honduran second flight player, who had been in New York working construction full time while moonlighting as a coach. One of the toughest hurdles to climb came six years ago, when he had to convince parents to entrust their children from ultra-diverse Queens to this former Honduran footballer and bricklayer ...

The Oklahoma Supreme Court determined that direct public funding for a religious school violated the state's prohibition on funding religious institutions. In June 2023, the Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board approved a charter for St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual Charter School. The Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and the Diocese of Tulsa, which submitted the application, would run the school, which would make it the first publicly funded religious charter school in the country. The board approved the application by a 3–2 vote just two months after unanimously reject...

Texas lawmakers had an opportunity to take bold action on school choice in 2023. Instead, they sided with teachers unions and chose to preserve an educational monopoly that abandons millions of families in a one-size-fits-all system. Voters paid attention to the do-nothing approach. The result was a shellacking for the 21 House Republicans who joined Democrats to kill school choice during four special sessions ending on December 5, 2023. Of this group, only seven Republicans survived their 2024 primary election season. The other 14 GOP incumbents either lost in the first round on March 5, lost...
