Nairobi (AFP) - Le Kenya a annoncé lundi le report de la réouverture des écoles d'une semaine en raison des fortes pluies dues au phénomène climatique El Niño qui ont causé des inondations dévastatrices dans ce pays d'Afrique de l'Est où 76 personnes ont perdu la vie depuis mars. La réouverture des écoles était initialement prévue pour lundi, après les vacances, mais les précipitations torrentielles de la mousson ont affecté de nombreux établissements scolaires, ce qui a conduit le ministère de l'Education à retarder la reprise des cours. "Les effets dévastateurs des pluies dans certaines écol...

By Titha Ghosh “With AI, every student can now have a personal tutor.” Words by Sal Khan, during a TED Talk this month. The CEO of Khan Academy also said that such personal tutors “can impersonate historical figures, debate with students, and help them finetune arguments without judgment.” We are in the middle of an EdTech revolution fuelled by the AI boom, and Khan’s vision of AI super-tutors helping an “above-average student reach excellence” was exciting, intoxicating even. But as the scope of AI-assisted teaching widens, so does its ability to become a dangerous tool–especially for our tec...

The mass vaccination of school-age children will allow millions of children to return sooner to in-person learning and ease the burden on millions of parents now caring for their offspring at home. School reopenings, an intensely debated matter, have varied sharply across the country, with some private and religious schools opening before public schools and teachers in some areas pr...

Washington (AFP) - The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday issued new guidelines urging schools to reopen safely and as soon as possible, while offering a detailed plan for limiting the spread of Covid-19. The strategy emphasizes universal masking, handwashing, and disinfection, as well as contact tracing, but spent relatively little time on the subject of ventilation, despite this being the virus' main transmission route. While it recommends vaccination for teachers and staff as soon as supply is available, it stops short of saying it is necessary -- a divisive issue among...
