Teachers unions leverage contracts to fight climate change
As federal support and financial incentives for climate action wither, this sort of local action is becoming more difficult but also more urgent, advocates say.

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

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.

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.

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!
