@DBE_SA #MyTeacher i hereby nominate L.I.S Sosibo from Kudung Middle School for the National teachers award. With our immense working conditions as farm school, Mam Sosibo uses the little resources we have to make Physical Education memorable for our learners.

@DBE_SA Just pay those teachers better salaries. That's will be a good motivation to keep on going extra mile.

@DBE_SA Ungangxami kakhulu Sisi, one thing at a time. Am sure there are pertinent issues you need to start with before talking awards. 1. Conditions at which teachers work in 2. Safety at schools 3. infrastructure at rural schools. I like your work, but be careful not to be everywhere.

@DBE_SA Stop WC and KZN from retrenching teachers.We see this as a very counter-revolutionary move,to disempower our teachers!

@DBE_SA Minister, please come through to private schools. We are being treated unfairly, where I work we haven't been paid since June.

@DBE_SA Hi, does one need to still be in school and does the teacher need to be currently teaching to participate? For instance, if I went to high school from 2010-2015 and I've been out of school for 5 years and the teacher is retired.

@DBE_SA Good! Perhaps a category of retired teachers must be considered too

Today - October 5th - is World Teacher’s Day. It is an opportunity for us to appreciate the incredible work that our educators do in and outside of the classroom. They shape futures, communities and indeed economies. They change lives allowing our learners step into opportunities they would otherwise not have. From the education sector - sithi kuni nonke, nangamso. Siyabulela ngomsebenzi wenu. #WorldTeachersDay25

This week we headed to Springfield because Illinois has the resources to fully fund public education — but Governor Pritzker and the Democratic supermajority still have to decide whose side they’re on. Are they on the side of billionaires and corporate tax breaks? Or are they with students, educators, and working families? We showed up to back HB 5409 and SB 3701, which ends proration, and demand the state finally meet its own funding promises. There are more educators than billionaires. And we’re organizing like it.

Speaking to participants in the Jubilee of the World of Education, Pope Leo calls for interiority, unity, love, and hope to become “key elements” of educational practice, which will help to embody the face of the Church. “Teaching can never be separated from love,” he said, “and one of the challenges of our societies today is that we no longer sufficiently value the immense contribution that teachers and educators make to the community in this regard.” Only when love is involved, he stressed, will teaching be truly fruitful — “not only in its content, but above all in the charity it conveys.”

🏏 This morning, The King welcomed the Afghan national women’s cricket team to Clarence House. The team was set up during the Afghan Republic in 2010, but lost recognition as a national team following the Taliban’s return to power. In Afghanistan, women and girls are banned from playing sport, along with other restrictions on their education, work and public life. His Majesty was able to hear the stories of many of the players who fled Afghanistan and have rebuilt their lives as refugees, playing club cricket informally, and campaigning for recognition.

We can never repay the debt we owe to the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to this nation. But we can and should show our thanks however we are able. I hope those who sacrificed their lives are looking down on us now and are proud that we are holding true to the values they revered so much. I’m wishing you all a blessed Memorial Day.

Michigan Board of Education is teaching 3rd graders that they must engage in sex Again, they are teaching 8 and 9 year old 3rd graders abstinence is wrong and to engage in sex I can’t believe this is real, but it is Michigan Rep Rep. Jamie Thompson “Society for Health Education — You can go to their website and you will see very clearly what they advocate for in curriculums - They believe that abstinence is failing our kids - Teaching abstinence is ineffective - They believe that teaching abstinence to children threatens the fundamental human right of sex - They believe that we should be encouraging our children safe and healthy ways to engage in sex And in Michigan we know that the age of consent is 16. So why would Society for Health Education be working with our Board of Education to teach this to 3rd graders, 8 and 9 year olds?”

The brave service members who fought on D-Day represent the Greatest Generation in our history. Together, they stood to oppose the forces of fascism, volunteered to lay down their lives for our liberty, and answered freedom’s call at its hour of greatest need. And today, on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, I met with 41 World War II veterans in Normandy to honor their service. Together we remember their sacrifice and recommit to the future they fought for – one grounded in freedom, democracy, equality, and opportunity for all.

Peter Schiff: BRICS nations should minimise US🇺🇸 exposure and trade among THEMSELVES, stop subsidising America's deficits 'BRICS nations have been vendor-financing the US economy, and ultimately this is going to come back to bite them. And I think they pretty much could figure this out. There are interests that make money off of the relationship with the United States, and so those interests would be harmed to the extent that there was a big drop in the dollar and trade contracted with the US. But others would benefit dramatically from that change, especially the people who live and work in those BRICS nations, because they would see a big increase in their domestic purchasing power, and so more of what they produce they would get to consume, and that would improve their lives. Allowing Americans to enjoy the fruits of their labour does not improve their lives.' -Peter Schiff, Host of 'The Peter Schiff Show' on the latest episode of New Order.

This is for all the people in the arena ( your life, your career, your family ) who are doing it for them .. not for the validation of the crowd One of the great issues in our society right now is that people live their lives for outside validation, for the clicks, for the likes, for the followers, for the comments. This isn't just in social media. This is happening in the analog and real world too. Too many people are keeping up with the Joneses and worried about what people think about them. They worry about what people think about how much money they have, what school they go to, or even worse, what school their kids go to, and on and on and on … I will continue to make content with the hope it breaks someone out of the hamster wheel and that’s that ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I presented state awards to the liquidators of the Chornobyl disaster, rescuers of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, and plant personnel who ensured the operation of the Chornobyl NPP during the Russian occupation in 2022 and mitigated the consequences of last year’s Russian drone strike on the confinement. Thank you for your courage, resilience, and professionalism under extremely difficult conditions. Your work protects lives in Ukraine and far beyond its borders.

There are two types of friends: 1. Summer Friends 2. Winter Friends Summer Friends are there for you when it's warm and sunny, but disappear when the weather starts to turn. They are the seasonal tourists, not the locals. Winter Friends are there for you when it's cold and dark. They are the locals, who have the wisdom to know that the seasons come and go. Most people in your life are Summer Friends, and when winter inevitably comes, they are gone. The Winter Friends are the relationships that you really need to cultivate. Those are the people who will be there for you throughout the different seasons of your life. You may love having both types of friends in your life, but never make the mistake of thinking your Summer Friends will be there when the seasons change. Who are your Winter Friends? Who are the locals that have been there for you when the weather turns? Cherish them. Be one to someone else.

On this Memorial Day we remember those who have given their lives in the service of this nation, and we hold in our hearts the families and loved ones they left behind. For those of us who wore the uniform in combat, this is a day where we remember our friends and comrades who made the ultimate sacrifice. We remember them as they were: sons and daughters, husbands and wives, mothers and fathers. And we rededicate ourselves to living good lives, not to waste the opportunity to live on they gave us with their sacrifice. The willingness of some young Americans to sign the dotted line and risk their futures for the good of the nation is a resource we must jealously guard. It cannot be abused and squandered by those in power for their own benefit. The best way to honor the dead is to make sure future generations are not sacrificed for no reason. Semper Fidelis.
