The Samuel Leeds School has finally opened, with over... 400 pupils already registered 🏫 This is not our first school building, but it is our first private school, offering financial literacy as well as core subjects. When I was at school, I was told I was stupid, and none of the teachers taught me anything about business or finance. Not only are we building schools that provide this education, but we are also working with the Ugandan government to improve the curriculums within state schools. Our next project will be a Centre of Excellence that provides online courses and remote training for not only the children but also the teachers. I have just pledged to the Ministry of Education that I would construct this building, volunteer my teaching time, and provide computers for the new centre. This has never been done before. Once this is proven to revolutionise the school curriculum and people see that the right education is the future of prosperity, I pray the UK will follow and allow me to offer my voluntary services to bring financial literacy across the country 🇬🇧show more

Chaos erupted at Bungoma High School after a crowd... reportedly mobilized to attend a rally addressed by Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa gathered within the learning institution’s compound to receive allowances, a process that descended into disorder and left some people injured.

The incident has sparked sharp public condemnation, with critics questioning the propriety of distributing money openly on school premises and raising broader concerns about the increasing misuse of educational institutions for partisan political purposes.show more

This morning, I conducted an unannounced inspection at Queens... College, Yaba, Lagos, to assess its current infrastructure, leadership, and the welfare of the students. Upon my arrival at 7:45 AM, I was pleased to see the majority of students lining up for assembly, with both the academic and non-academic staff, including the principal, already present and ready to begin the school day. During my visit, I held separate discussions with students, teachers, and the principal to better understand their challenges and needs. It is clear that the school requires significant infrastructural improvements to adequately and safely accommodate its students and staff. Queens College, established almost 100 years ago, has long surpassed its original capacity. To ensure that our students benefit from an appropriate student-to-teacher ratio, sufficient resources, and adequate facilities for boarding and feeding, we must maintain a standard capacity across all Unity Schools and Federal Government Colleges. In line with our commitment to promoting quality assurance in education, the Federal Ministry of Education will collaborate with Principal Obabori and the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) to redesign, refurbish, and build new facilities at Queens College, including a library, dining areas, hostels, and classrooms. Over the next several months, I will be conducting unannounced visits to other Unity Schools and Federal Colleges. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s mission for the education sector is simple: to provide better education for all. This is the goal that the Ministry and I are dedicated to achieving. I extend my thanks to the principal, teachers, and students for their warm reception and look forward to working with the school’s leadership to ensure better pay and welfare packages for our teachers and improved educational outcomes for our students. #EducationForAllshow more

🚨BREAKING: Lake Stevens School District addresses altercations at anti-ICE... walkouts, Lake Stevens Police investigate The Lake Stevens School District today released a statement on altercations that arose during student-led walkouts against ICE activity. The District in its statement “recognize and value students’ First Amendment rights and respect their ability to engage in lawful, peaceful expression” and very clearing stated that “bullying, harassment, hate, or violence in any form” will not be condoned. The Lake Stevens Police Department (LSPD) is now investigating, in accordance with district policy, incidents of “a small number of students engaged in behavior” that did not meet the District’s “expectations for safety and respect.” Over 100 students from Lake Stevens High School walked out of school on Feb. 5. Among the tensions, a fight broke out during the Feb. 5 walkout at Lundeen Park, where an 18-year-old student suffered a scratch to his face and broken glasses after attempting to stop anti-ICE student protesters from throwing water bottles at passing cars. On Feb. 6, over 100 students from Cavelero Mid High School and Lake Stevens Middle School walked out of school to protest against ICE. A vehicle, at an overrun crosswalk with protesters near 91st Avenue East and Market Place, struck one student who did not require medical attention. The District is encouraging students who experienced or are experiencing harassment or retaliation for their views to report it to a trusted adult for it to be “promptly” address. When the District became aware of plans for the walkouts, administrators focused on campus safety, continued instruction for students who remained in class, communicated with families, and coordinated with LSPD to support safety in the surrounding area.

The ATG School One-Pager I’m not trying to reinvent... schooling. There are just a handful of things I believe in which I haven’t seen in any school I’ve been around as a student or parent. Policy #1: Each student gets to be responsible for growing some of their own food, no matter how small, and THROUGHOUT schooling (not just a quickie project here or there). Policy #2: Minimum 1:1 ratio of time NOT SITTING IN THE CLASSROOM. What you do with this is up to you. There are so many real world skills, sports, gardening, music, etc. The strict ratio in the school day is the key for me. Common sense and personal interests can take it from there. Policy #3: Daily time to read whatever you want to read about. The biggest barrier for my reading was INTEREST. Be there to ensure the book is at their level, and to help them if they don’t understand something. Other than that, LET THEM ENJOY READING, ALL THE WAY THROUGH SCHOOL, not just in early years. Policy #4: (This is the most unusual yet the biggest reason I’m in education.) High school is a 50/50 bridge to winning in real life. Mornings are for actual work, making and SAVING UP MONEY. Afternoons are for learning finances and professional skills of YOUR INTEREST. With average work, you’ll finish school with $50,000-$100,000 in the bank, more skills than the norm, and a greater chance of creating your life and work from there on out, rather than conforming to make a paycheck. Policy #5: As part of the high school 50/50 system, ensure each student learns the adult financial red tape in your state/country before you’ve got bills, kids, etc.show more

What is “Maata – Manthi”? Discussion and Decision Maata... – Manthi is a grassroots-level participatory program initiated with the vision of inclusive village development. The phrase “Maata – Manthi” literally translates to “Discussion and Decision”, and the program reflects this spirit by involving villagers directly in conversations about their needs, challenges, and developmental priorities. The core idea behind this initiative is simple yet powerful: meaningful dialogue with the people, by the people, for the betterment of the village. Through open forums and community gatherings, residents share their concerns, offer suggestions, and become active participants in decision-making processes. This program was launched by Deputy CMO, Andhra Pradesh Sri #PawanKalyan Garu with the intention of: •Connecting directly with villagers to understand their everyday struggles and aspirations. •Involving citizens in governance by making them stakeholders in the planning and implementation of development activities. •Ensuring transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in the execution of welfare and infrastructure projects. •Utilizing modern technology to bridge communication gaps and provide timely solutions. “Maata – Manthi begins here, in Ravivalasa village, Srikakulam district, as a symbol of collective effort for progress — not just for your village, but for our village. It’s not just a program; it’s a movement where your voice matters, your participation counts, and your future is shaped by your own hands.” - Pawan Kalyan.show more

⚖️🌪️School Safety Shattered: Gunman at Zwir Elementary Walks Free... on $75,000 Bond Parents in Klein, Texas, are in disbelief and fear after an armed Iraqi national—caught prowling Zwir Elementary with a firearm—was handed a "get out of jail" card by the Harris County judicial system. Despite the sheer terror of an elementary school lockdown, Judge Lorina Chambers Gray authorized a $75,000 bond, allowing the suspect to post bail and walk —right back into the community he just targeted. Judge Gray is a member of the Democratic Party and was first elected to the 262nd District Court in November 2018. She was part of a historic group of 19 African American women, often referred to as "Harris County Black Girl Magic” It’s a chilling reminder of a legal system that seems more concerned with “firsts” and the "rights" of an armed intruder than the lives of kids hiding under their desks. The school community is shaken and vulnerable over this release. There’s been a firestorm of criticism over local leadership’s refusal to keep dangerous migrants behind bars. ⚖️🇺🇸show more

i turned 25 today, and the best gift i... could give myself was this → building a school 🏫 for years i thought i’d need to save money before doing this, but today i just took the decision. we’re starting with two villages, one in bihar and one in madhya pradesh. i spoke to my maternal uncle in a small village in bihar, and with his support, we’ve begun. our Rightfit (We’re hiring) team will live in villages for 6–12+ days at a time, in b/w every 6–12 months, we’ll be visiting different villages across india where education is most needed. we’ll be teaching kids, parents, and teachers, while also learning from their culture, food, and daily lives. this will be one of the many initiatives we are building at rightfit. our community with more than 7,000+ members is also completely free. people have already found jobs, mentors, and opportunities there, without paying a single rupee. we’ve seen how powerful free knowledge-sharing can be, and we want to bring the same spirit into rural education 🙌 this school will always be free, no revenue model, no hidden agenda. we believe education should be free for every child, and we hold on to the philosophy that knowledge only grows when it’s passed on. i don’t know where this will go, but if even one spark is lit inside a child, it will mean we’ve done something meaningful. so yeah, we’re building something amazing, something a little crazy!!! if you want updates on our journey, routes, plans, growth, failures, join our waitlist by sending your email at 🌼 if you’d like to be a part of this, write to us at [email protected] 💌 [ rethinking education in indian villages ]show more

🚨BREAKING: Violent protest erupts in Pucheng, Shaanxi Province following... tragic student death A violent mass protest has erupted in Pucheng, Shaanxi Province in the last 24 hours, following the mysterious death of 17-year-old Dang Changxin. This is the first large-scale protest in China of 2025. Videos circulating online show heavily armed police using batons, kicking protesters, and deploying tear gas to disperse the crowds. The unrest, sparked by public outrage over the handling of Dang’s death and alleged attempts at a cover-up by local authorities, has escalated into one of the most visible challenges to public order in recent months. The Public Security Bureau has been deployed to maintain control as tensions continue to rise. 📆 Timeline of Events 1 January 2025: Dang Changxin allegedly fell to his death from the roof of Pucheng Vocational Education school. 2 January 2025 (Early Morning): Dang’s parents were summoned to the school, informed only that something urgent had happened. Dang’s mother arrived but was not permitted to see her son. His classmates appeared flustered and avoided her questions before quickly dispersing. She was taken to a room, confined there, and denied updates on her son's condition. Later that morning: The deputy director of the local police station informed Dang’s mother that her son had committed suicide by jumping from the school roof. The investigation was declared complete and closed within 24 hours. Afternoon: After repeated demands, Dang’s mother was allowed to see her son at the funeral home. Her brief viewing revealed a bruise on his neck, but teachers forcibly stopped her from inspecting the body further or taking photos. This was her only opportunity to see her son’s body. ⚠️ Suspicious Circumstances The school reportedly confiscated and wiped the mobile phones and smartwatches of all students with potential knowledge of the incident. Witnesses noted signs of a struggle in Dang’s dormitory, but the school has not addressed these claims. Online speculation suggests Dang may have been pushed from the roof, allegedly by children of local officials. Dang’s family has rejected the official explanation, recording videos to publicize their demands for justice. Censors have aggressively suppressed these efforts. Public anger has surged over perceived indifference and a cover-up by the local government and police. Crowds gathered at the school, demanding accountability. ❗️Breakout into violence Although the exact trigger for the clash with police remains unclear, videos circulating on X show protesters storming the school gates and struggling against armed police. The violent response from authorities, including baton strikes and tear gas, has further inflamed tensions. The death of Dang Changxin and the violent crackdown on protests in Pucheng reveal systemic failures of transparency, accountability, and governance in China’s local institutions. The situation remains volatile. (video source: 李老师不是你老师 )show more

New Footbridge in Mutasa Ends Years of Hardship for... Premier Community While conversations around cost are valid and should surely be a subject to the ensuing debate, there is no question that the newly constructed Premier South footbridge in Mutasa is a critical necessity. For years, the community endured dangerous crossings through the Mutare River, with significant consequences: · Children often arrived at school with wet clothes and missed classes entirely during floods. · Farmers, traders, and the elderly lost income and missed appointments. · Pregnant women and the sick struggled to access healthcare. · The crossing was further jeopardized by illegal mining activities, which polluted the river and increased physical risk. The bridge has now brought essential relief, safely connecting residents to education, healthcare, and livelihoods—proving its fundamental role in the community's well-being and safety.show more

🚨 By day, Meredith Aby is a taxpayer-funded high... school teacher in Minneapolis. Other times, she runs the radical Minnesota Anti-War Committee, a sketchy 501(c)3 that supports terror regimes around the world. She’s also involved with several other dangerous socialist organizations. This genius of education has been arrested twice and was investigated by the FBI years ago. She travels the country vomiting support for Palestinian “resistance,” the Iranian regime, and promotes the dismantlement of the U.S. government through Venezuelan Marxism. Kind of hilarious because this MARXIST is always whining about her fat pension at union meetings, like she’s doing in the video below. Oh wait… no, she’s standing near the American flag in a federally-funded school and chants her brains out for Gaza. American tax dollars are funding this garbage.
