Did you know that over 1.5 million Africans fought abroad for Britain in World War II? I bet you didn't.

When celebrating WWII heroes, Unknown Soldiers, and those who sacrificed for our freedoms, Africans are not mentioned.

Genocide enablers think the strategy can work in 2026.

Dr. Micere Mugo! What a well researched and and nicely written paper of the Kenyan scholar, poet, and playwright.

Many Kenyans are familiar with the late Mugo. However, many will learn something new about her from this seminal piece.

[Derek R Peterson @Unseen_Archive]

Just published in Research in African Literatures:

"Micere Mugo and the Burdens of History: Notes Toward a Literary Biography", by yours truly.

The essay is about the family history of the late Micere, seen in relation to her writing. Read it here:

There are no college entrance exams in Canada. The system works just fine.

There are college entrance exams in the UK and China: there is evidence of mental health issues relating to standardized tests.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

More than 1,100 University of California math and science professors are urging UC regents to reinstate college-entrance exams, saying that unprepared students are lowering academic standards and draining teaching resources https://t.co/b0v7Pnvfeh

Reminder: we are suspending immigration documents for residents of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and South Sudan for 90 days. During this time, we also plan to pause decisions on applications from these countries. This is vital to respond to the Ebola outbreak and prevent the disease from spreading to Canada: https://t.co/ewyL1VRFP5

Gov. Jeff Landry is proposing a $798M corrections budget, which the GOP-controlled legislature is expected to pass by June 1.

It’s a 9% increase from the inflation-adjusted total spent in fiscal year 2024, the last budget passed before his tenure.

Hongera, Bwana Kalonzo. Looking great at age 72.

[James Oloo @JamesAlanOLOO]

Do younger, novice teachers work in more challenging classrooms OR are they more likely (than relatively more experienced teachers) to experience classroom management issues?

[OECD Education @OECDEduSkills]

Why do younger teachers often work in the most challenging classrooms?

For example, teachers aged under 30 are much more likely to report that over 10% of their students have disruptive behaviour.

🇨🇦 Across Ontario, and especially Greater Toronto Area, schools need more Educational Assistants not less. From rising cases of violence to diverse student needs, more needs to be done to enhance student success and well being. Austerity won't help. https://t.co/jYg7dSOwIt #onted

Knowledge about pedagogy is important. I think, equally important is classroom practice. You can be a great teacher. But if you don't have good classroom management skills, learning may not be optimal.

[OECD Education @OECDEduSkills]

Teachers who know more about pedagogy tend to be less stressed and make better use of class time.
