Students who change schools between 8th and 9th grade (such as when adolescents from multiple middle schools move to a single high school) report significantly less delinquency after the shift than those who do not.
On May 15, teachers belonging to the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) plan to launch a nationwide strike in Mexico.
The CNTE is a smaller, more radical union within the corrupt and coopted National Union of Education Workers (SNTE). Members of the CNTE make up the majority of teachers in places such as Guerrero, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco, and Mexico City.
They have put forward 11 demands, including the overturning of the neoliberal educational reform passed in 2013, better wages, improvements to classrooms and schools, and justice in cases such as the disappeared of Ayotzinapa.
The last time the CNTE held a national strike was in 2016, which saw the Nochixtlán Massacre, the jailing of union leaders, the mass firing of teachers, and more. For those interested, I covered those events in-depth for @igd_news when I was writing the column "Insumisión."
You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee gets a bonus of $176,500. Hello?

Faith schools in England will no longer have to offer up to half of their places to children who don’t belong to their religion, under changes to state school admissions rules sneakily announced by the government, after serious lobbying by the Catholic Church.
I propose, therefore, that the 100% funding they get from the state is also scrapped. I don't object to faith schools. I do object to them being funded by the state. #Education#FaithSchools
The president of #Barnard College lost a faculty-wide vote of no confidence on Tuesday, as criticism mounts over the school’s response to a pro- #Palestine 🇵🇸 encampment
It is the first no confidence vote against a president in the college’s history.

At the Crossroads of Fear and Freedom: The Fight for Social and Educational Justice by Robert L. Green, 2015
Robert L. Green, a friend and colleague of Martin Luther King Jr., served as education director for King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference during a crucial period in Civil Rights history, and—as a consultant for many of the nation’s largest school districts—he continues to fight for social justice and educational equity today.
