War on Gaza: State Department official resigns over US support for Israel
Quick Glance: Resignation Due to US Support for Israel
  • A senior official at the State Department resigned in protest against the almost impossible promotion of human rights due to US support for Israel's war in Gaza.

  • Annelle Sheline, aged 38, announced her resignation while still in the middle of her two-year contract with the US Department of State as a foreign affairs officer in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.

  • Initially hesitant to publicly announce her resignation, Sheline was encouraged by colleagues opposing US support for Israel's actions in Gaza.

  • These resignations are the latest in a series of public protests against the Biden administration's support for Israel, leading to internal turmoil within the US State Department.

Quick Glance: Uncertainties surrounding the construction of 10,000 classes
  • There are uncertainties surrounding the implementation of the project to build 10,000 classes in secondary schools during the Uhuru Kenyatta administration.

  • A report by the Auditor-General has put into question the ministry's expenditures for classroom construction in 2021, raising concerns about irregularities and unaccounted funds.

  • Even though the ministry had initially reported spending Sh4.48 billion on the project, exceeding the approved budget of Sh2.69 billion by a significant margin, the accuracy and completeness of the expenditure of Sh1.78 billion could not be confirmed.

Quick Glance: Florida's Recent Agreement Allows Discussion of Sexuality and Gender Identity
  • A recent agreement between Florida education officials and civil rights attorneys allows students and teachers to freely discuss sexual orientation and gender identity, as long as it is not part of instruction.

  • The agreement clarifies that Florida laws do not prohibit discussion of LGBTQ+ individuals, allow anti-bullying rules based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and do not exclude Gay-Straight Alliance groups.

  • The legal battle over the law, dismissed by a federal judge in Tallahassee, was led by civil rights attorneys on behalf of teachers, students, and parents.

  • The new arrangement emphasizes the neutrality of the law and underscores the protection of all students at public schools in Florida, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Quick Glance: Transformation of Hull Primary School to 'Outstanding'
  • A primary school in west Hull is celebrating its latest 'outstanding' rating from regulator Ofsted, recognizing the teamwork that has gone into transforming its status.

  • A little over two years ago, Collingwood Primary School found itself in the 'requires improvement' doldrums but has since reversed its fortunes, with all areas rated 'outstanding' except for early years provision, which was 'good'.

  • Inspectors noted the 'exceptional' education the children receive, the 'caring and nurturing' relationships between staff and pupils, and the 'wide range of enrichment activities' that underpin the curriculum and help build confidence.

  • Staff work closely with parents and carers to remove all barriers to learning and build relationships within the community, resulting in highly achieving students with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
