Climate change is bringing malaria to new areas | Africanews: The malaria parasite mostly spreads to people via infected mosquitoes and can cause symptoms ...

africanews.com/2024/04/25/climate-change-is-bringing-malaria-to-new-areas/

Quick Glance: Combatting Malaria: Challenges and Solutions

Progress in reducing malaria has stalled in recent years, especially in African regions. Pregnant women, young children, and other vulnerable groups continue to have limited access to malaria services.

Infants and young children are disproportionately affected by malaria, especially in poorer households in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria due to immunity loss.

Refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples are also at higher risk of malaria and often lack access to necessary services.

Climate change and humanitarian emergencies contribute to making vulnerable populations more susceptible to malaria. Measures like combating discrimination and integrating malaria control interventions into universal health coverage can help achieve a malaria-free world.

economist.com/united-states/2024/04/23/efforts-to-tackle-student-protests-in-america-have-backfired-badly

Quick Glance: USC Main Commencement Canceled Amid Gaza War Protests

Protests against the Israel-Hamas war prompt the cancellation of USC's main graduation ceremony and numerous arrests at campuses nationwide.

Quick Glance: Education Department to Hire Temps for 31,000 Teacher Vacancies

Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga has begun recruiting individuals to address the acute teacher shortage of 31,000 positions in the country.

There is a 28% increase from the 24,000 vacancies in 2021, with KwaZulu-Natal having the highest number of 7,044 unfilled posts.

The lack of teachers has led to overcrowded classrooms, burdened educators, educational disparities, and financial strains on the schooling system, impacting the quality of education.

The education department awarded nearly 12,000 bursaries to trainee teachers through the Funza Lushaka bursary scheme, but provincial education departments struggle to place graduates in positions.
