Terrifying move- not a surprise, but still bone-chilling.

Hey everyone,
Nadeen and her sister need your help to continue their education in Gaza.
They need to raise ~$2,500.
Would any of you consider taking up this cause and helping them to fundraise? Or sponsor their education?
Please share thank you 💕

More big cuts to Universities and Colleges in Canada/BC.
This time it's smaller colleges in the Interior of BC. Coast Mountain College in Prince Rupert/Northwest, and Selkirk College in the SE/Nelson.
The Hazelton campus of CMC is being closed as is the Fine Arts campus of Selkirk.
All because successive Provincial and Federal governments in Canada thought the gravy-train of International students would last forever, allowing them to redirect funding for Post Secondary to other parts of the budget.
I don't think the system has found the bottom yet, and at the end, it will be Domestic students who suffer most from hugely diminished services at their local, and regional, and national colleges and Universities.

Tell me again how 'AI is going to revolutionise education' when roughly a quarter of primary schools globally don't even have electricity, toilets, drinking water, and basic WASH facilities.
It's 1925 in 2025 for 25% of schools in the world.

Content warning: excellent post from Kate Manne on LLMs in education
"Yes, It Is Our Job As Professors To Stop Our Students Using ChatGPT"
"I intend to structure assessment in my undergraduate classes so that using AI is not really an option, or hence a temptation. ...
"The “how” is fairly obvious but will involve a number of costs—and the need to figure out various logistics that are daunting at the outset. ...
"I never asked my undergraduate students to write essays for me because the product inherently mattered. It was always the process: lose that, and the exercise loses its point. We have to devise new ones."

Content warning: school attendance targets article, grumble/rant
"All schools in England to be given AI-generated pupil attendance targets"
Bad situation but I don't feel this article does a lot to help!
Yeah it's gonna be difficult to get back to "pre-pandemic levels" when covid is still making kids long-term sick, can we get a mention of that inconvenient fact.
No critique of the social pressure put on chronically-ill kids when attendance targets filter into the classroom.
How about a namecheck for (especially neurodivergent) kids' bad experiences of teach-to-the-test education, and the immense difficulty of getting funding for special needs support.
Not a lot on what the school staff are already doing to support kids or what govt could usefully put on more cash for, like good free breakfasts.
Includes some disrespect to non-school education along the way. (“We can only deliver opportunity for children in our country if they’re in school”, okay maybe it's true that _you_ can only "deliver" via school, because you don't know the alternatives, but shouldn't it actually be part of your job as Ed Sec to know them)
The delegating to so-called "AI" is the least of it!

Very glad to finally see this issue being addressed in a major publication. The headline is a little confusing. It’s not about engineering, it’s about all disciplines.
Even as we have made gains getting women into post secondary now young men are not coming, aside from a few specific traditional areas. Especially in Arts and Humanities, there is a huge gap. I see it every day at my university.
We need to reverse this. We need men and women in every field and discipline. We need men and women learning critical thinking, learning history, learning biology, learning engineering, together, collaboratively, in ways that speak to all genders.
I blame a large part of the gap on a notion that is still perpetuated by both regular people and government, that “trades gets u a job” with implicit and explicit bias toward those trades being male dominated. The manosphere often degrades traditional “thinking” degrees as not masculine enough.. or have been “woke” and a threat to stereotypical male roles. Plus there remain biases against teaching and healthcare as “women’s” work in those influential spheres, and not helped by general society either.
TLDR: we just need to stop devaluing post-secondary every other moment of the day and make it free and easy for absolutely anyone to walk in and expand their minds!
