Heatwaves have caused school closures for millions of children and triggered health warnings across South and Southeast Asia. Temperature records don’t show the whole story, however, with high humidity making it much harder for people to keep cool. These dangerous conditions increase the chances of exhaustion and heatstroke and can even be deadly. Severe heatwaves have already been blamed for almost three dozen deaths across the region. “Thousands of records are being brutalized all over Asia, which is by far the most extreme event in world climatic history,” weather historian Maximiliano Herr...

Climate change should be a compulsory school subject in Scotland, according to a new report on how the government can better engage with people on the issue. Classes on climate was the top recommendation from a panel made up of 23 members of the public. They were randomly selected from across the country to join the Climate Change People’s Panel. “There needs to be within the curriculum climate change as a compulsory subject from primary and into high school and children should be involved in developing this," the report reads. “So that all children are made aware, have the opportunity to enga...

France’s Culture Minister Rachida Dati has suggested closing some public art schools that are “in a situation of crisis.” “We need to put an end to these shoestring policies, because ultimately it doesn’t solve the foundational problem, and it means public funds very poorly spent,” she said in a speech before the National Assembly on Tuesday. “I want high-performing schools, which have the same chances of success, and the same openness to all. If we must shut down certain schools, because today they no longer have the means to offer a quality environment, perhaps that will be the case.” France...

Choosing to homeschool my son was not an easy decision. He’s only seven, but will I really be able to give him the education he needs? Will he miss out on essential life skills if he doesn’t learn how to navigate crowds of kids in the playground, or overcome stage fright during his first school play? These are all very real questions that weighed on my mind for months as I struggled with the decision. But my son’s neurodiversity meant that most playtimes were being spent standing alone by the fence. He felt bullied and misunderstood. And his laser-sharp ability to focus on the often somewhat o...

The public high school of Antonio Meucci in Carpi looks much like any other in Europe: a hub of students eagerly awaiting lunch breaks, professors navigating peaks of motivation and resignation, while janitors run the halls. But tucked away in a distant corner of the schoolyard, a mysterious fenced structure emerges from the trees. Accessible only to specialised technicians, a panel on the structure hints at its purpose: H2 Hydrogen. This building contains the first green-hydrogen-powered boiler to heat an EU educational site, and it has zero emissions potential. So, how does a green hydrogen ...

Smartphones and tablets will be banned in Italian classrooms - even for teaching purposes - under new guidelines in Italy. “The use of smartphones and tablets can often create tension between students and teachers, sometimes also leading to acts of aggression against school staff,” said Italy's education minister Giuseppe Valditara. The ban will include students from kindergarten, primary and lower secondary schools. It extends an existing ban on the non-academic use of smart devices introduced in Italy in 2007, though it has not always been enforced. Last year, the UN's educational, cultural ...

Houston (AFP) - A damning Justice Department report on Thursday cited "critical failures" by Texas law enforcement who waited until 21 people had been killed by a mass shooter at a school before finally intervening. Nineteen young children and two teachers were killed when a teenage gunman went on a rampage at Uvalde's Robb Elementary School in May 2022 in America's worst school shooting in a decade. Police eventually shot and killed the attacker. Investigators "identified several critical failures," the report said, and "the most significant failure was that the responding officers should hav...

Perry (United States) (AFP) - A teenager armed with a handgun and shotgun killed a fellow student and wounded five other people at a high school in the midwestern US state of Iowa on Thursday, authorities said. The shooting at around 7:30 am triggered a major police response as emergency vehicles and armed units rushed to Perry High School, where classes had not yet started for the day. The victim who died was in sixth grade, meaning aged 11 or 12, and was likely in the high school for a breakfast program, said Mitch Mortvedt, assistant director of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation. ...
