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 💕

That moment when Mallory O'Brien realizes Deputy White House Communications Director, Sam Seaborn, is a champion for national education... & as a public school teacher, her hero. 😁

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!

Oh look, the #BCNDP Government finally noticed the Post-Secondary system is collapsing. *slowclap*
Can hardly wait for that report next spring... maybe I will still have a job by then...
PS: I have a crazy idea: perhaps post-secondary should be majority-funded by government, not by exploitative international tuitions that can just *disappear*)
PPS: Domestic enrolment is not declining in any significant kind of way in the sector. From the “State of Post Secondary Education in Canada 2025” by Alex Usher:
"This decline in per-student funding is therefore not primarily a result of a significant decline in total funding; rather, it is a result of expenditures remaining more or less
constant while enrollments increased.”
WHICH IS WHAT EDUCATORS HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR DECADES

just registered for my continuing Spanish (200) class next semester.
The enrollment problems at VIU (and all across the sector) have made it difficult to fill these classes. The fall semester class didn't run because there were not enough students enrolled.
I really really hope it gets up to the number needed to run the course!
There always seems to be good uptake of the 100/101 classes but 200 is a struggle.

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!
