Education is one key aspect of life that should never be undermined – the results of education and learning are evident in today’s world. One significant change that came to the world during this period was the global lockdown, promoting online learning.
Aside from the new norm, the world faces many people failing to see the great benefits attached to the online education system. For anyone, including both the young and adult, online education plays a better role for some students than a physical class.
The problem a lot of people face with online schooling is trust. The lack of confidence in the online schooling world causes a bridge between the school and the intending students. However, there are several advantages of online education regardless of your age. Let’s take a look at some of them.
There’s nothing better than knowing you could be on your couch … Read More

(“Ambow”, “Ambow Education” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: AMBO), a leading national provider of educational and career enhancement services in China, today announced that the first 100 trainees have successfully completed the Global Career Quality Assurance program in strategic career planning and received certification since such program was kicked off in late June 2020 on Ambow Huanyujun Education Hub.

Our daughter Mae is 4. She has Down syndrome, and we are fighting to keep her in school.
October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, and in any other year we would work with friends, families, and organizations to fund-raise, advocate, and spread awareness for those who share Mae’s diagnosis.
But, of course, this is unlike any other year. As the uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic drags on, we have had to work harder than ever to advocate for basic educational rights and services for all children with special needs.
When schools began shutting down in March, families across the nation were faced with the reality that their children with special needs would lose the services and professional therapies that are provided through public school systems once a child reaches the age of 3.
More than seven months have passed since children have experienced a normal school day. Remote learning is

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has given its approval to the demerger of Nagarnar Steel Plant (NSP) from National Minerals Development Corporation (NMDC) Ltd and strategic disinvestment of the demerged company (NSP) by selling government’s entire stake in it to a strategic buyer, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said on Wednesday.

It was unfortunate to see inaccuracies in a recent article quoting Amherst town budget chief Sean Mangano about our research on equity in state education aid, “School funding report draws town’s criticism,” Oct. 8, page A10. As a regional chamber of commerce and a statewide education advocacy organization, we believe that growing inequality and economic uncertainty necessitates a statewide approach steeped in equity.
Our report shows that 14% of state Chapter 70 aid for schools (almost $800 million a year) is not based on community need. This aid goes predominantly to wealthier communities at the expense of students in less wealthy districts where the state has not fully met its responsibility to fill funding gaps. The Amherst and Amherst-Pelham school districts receive 1 percent or about $7.8 million of that total.
The recommendations in our report redirect $25 million of statewide non-needs-based aid toward communities that need it the most.
