The first event is a roundtable on "Zhuangzi: Fate, Desires, Transformation" on April 6th at 9:00am Beijing time.

"It is the role of the Superintendent to interact with all stakeholders wishing to learn more about the school district. Our goal is always to partner for the betterment of all Ellington students."

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has urged the government to clarify, as a matter of urgency, how it plans to support councils facing ongoing SEND deficits and the high costs of transporting children to school in taxis, coaches, and buses. This intervention follows ministers' unveiling of sweeping reforms to the SEND system, intended to make it more inclusive for children with additional needs and, in the long term, reduce costs for local authorities.

By asking pupils to conceal their identities through the use of fake names and/or fake email addresses, and by instructing them not to tell the school, Rai acted in a way that lacked the integrity expected of a teaching professional.

This is a striking decision at a moment when public confidence in higher education is eroding. It is also puzzling because rigorous research and evaluation have demonstrated, over and over, the value of the work of centers for teaching and learning, including positive impacts on student learning outcomes, institutional effectiveness and faculty development.

National Student Pride, a non-profit organisation created in 2005, said its income had reduced by about two-thirds in the last two years, "largely due to widespread cuts to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) budgets" by sponsors. It said other sponsors had to be dropped after it introduced an "ethical sponsorship" policy last year, following some LGBTQ+ groups' protests against sponsors' links to Israel and the fossil fuel industry. In 2024, the event had 24 sponsors, this year there are only eight.

From the moment Nathaniel Dye was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in 2023, he had an overwhelming desire to raise awareness of the disease. He raised more than 37,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support through challenges including walking from Land's End to John o' Groats and running the London Marathon while playing the trombone, in the hope of improving cancer screening in the capital.

Learning today doesn't usually look broken. It looks like a well-run treadmill, always on, always moving, quietly exhausting everyone. New initiatives, new tools, new priorities. New "must-have" skills. Even when learning is thoughtfully designed, there's a nagging sense that nothing sticks because nothing gets a chance to. People finish the course, grab the badge, and move on to the next thing before the last thing has had time to show up in how they work.

Ministers have asked the exams watchdog, Ofqual, to extend current arrangements, providing GCSE maths, physics, and combined science students with formula sheets. Ofqual is consulting on extending this until current GCSEs are reformed following a curriculum review. The government will then consider if memorisation is required for new qualifications.

This idea was based on the parallel between the pluck and elan that are characteristic of both the early-college students I worked with and that of America's hardest-working founding father. Five years after I wrote the book, I had the opportunity to revisit the field for a revised edition, making it appropriate to ask, after Thomas Jefferson's song in the second act of Hamilton, "What'd I Miss": How has early college/dual enrollment changed over the past half decade?

Scaling learning should be a sign of success. More employees. More roles. More regions. More skills to build. On the surface, these are the markers of a growing, forward-moving organization. But for many Learning and Development (L&D) teams, scaling learning feels less like progress and more like pressure. Every new hire cohort, geographic expansion, or capability initiative introduces friction. What once worked well for a few hundred employees begins to strain-and eventually break-when applied to thousands.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.

More than 60 students at a state school in one of London's most deprives boroughs have been offered places at Oxford and Cambridge universities. The stunning achievement marks a record success for the London Academy of Excellence, known as the Eton of the East End, which made sixth place in this year's Sunday Times league tables. Students at the selective academy in Stratford, Newham, received 23 offers from Oxford and 39 from Cambridge. An additional four students have secured places on Cambridge foundation courses.

One of the clearest signs that a child may need extra academic support is a noticeable decline in grades or consistently low results. This can happen gradually or suddenly and often does not reflect a lack of effort. In many cases, children fall behind because they have missed key concepts earlier in the year, making it difficult to keep up as lessons become more demanding. This is especially common in subjects like maths, science and English, where knowledge builds over time.

But as schoolage audiences of Matilda the Musical or the Harry Potter films can testify, UK classrooms usually have more children in them than fictional ones. What these young people probably do not know is that their classrooms are also fuller than many real ones abroad. A report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development found that the UK has some of the largest primary groups in the industrialised world.

It is, officially, just a small part of wider guidance for schools and colleges, titled Keeping Children Safe in Education, which covers everything from the basics of safeguarding, checks on staff and dealing with harassment. The section on students who might question their gender covers about five of the document's 201 pages, guiding institutions about what they should do in such circumstances. Unlike the previous guidance it is statutory it must be followed. It is currently being consulted on, and so will not come into force until September. The DfE says it will then be reviewed annually.

The concept of the BANI World was proposed by Jamais Cascio in 2018 and further refined in 2020 to describe four major characteristics of future society: Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible. Compared to the previous VUCA ( Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and A mbiguity) World, the BANI World more accurately depicts the increasingly complex and volatile global situation and trends. "Brittle" refers to social systems being more susceptible to shocks and damage, often accompanied by the risk of sudden collapse.
