China is launching a nationwide push to make reading a daily habit for everyone. A new regulation requires local governments to fund and build more public reading spaces, like libraries in subways or beachside book fairs. The rules also focus on reaching kids, seniors, rural areas, and promoting both print and digital books. The goal is to weave reading into the fabric of everyday life. https://en.people.cn/n3/2026/0122/c90000-20417440.html#china #education #books #reading

@KrissyKat when someone says, DEI needs to go, it just means they are a racist.

Solidarity to union members and students facing cuts at North Island College. VIU and NIC have a friendly rivalry, but more importantly, we each serve as access-focused post-secondary institutions for portions of Vancouver Island north of Victoria.The list of program suspensions is long. And unfortunately includes some skills in my field… but they are generally... broad cuts. I've included the list below.The #BCNDP Government seems perfectly ok with post-secondary institutions in BC going through the worst cuts in at least 25 years (my career) and I would dare say - ever.Adventure Guiding Certificate.Hospital Unit Clerk Certificate.Bachelor of Business Administration – Marketing.Global Business Management Post-Graduate Diploma.Digital Design and Development Post-Graduate Certificate.Digital Design and Development Post-Graduate Diploma.Web and Mobile Application Development Diploma.Web Design Fundamentals Certificate.Advanced Digital Design and Development Diploma.Android Application Development Certificate.Fine Arts Diploma.Coastal Forestry Diploma.Coastal Forestry Certificate.Furniture Design and Joinery Certificate.Human Services Diploma.#Education #VIU #NIC #Courtenay #CampbellRiver #PortAlberni #BCPoli #NDP https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/north-island-college-program-cuts-9.7045740

Carney Liberals doing another colonialism. "The federal government has drastically cut funding for First Nations kids in Ontario seeking educational support under Jordan’s Principle, a tribunal hearing revealed this week. The money decreased from $122.1 million to just $1.2 million over the same time periods in 2024 versus 2025."https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/tribunal-first-nations-education-funding-9.7039685#JordansPrinciple #CdnPoli #Education #Indigenous

@educator Hi there. Fellow Indian here. I would recommend DigitalOcean over Vultr due to a number of reasons having used both. However there is a 3rd option which is better imo and that is Linode. 2 main reasons. Linode offers double RAM at 10$. You get 2gb RAM instead of 1gb for 10$. What I am getting from your post is that you want a 5$ plan. However it will be insufficient for even a small sized forum. Try going for the 2gb RAM option at Linode. Unless you are a registered business in India you shall have to pay 15% service tax on Digitalocean as of Jan 1 2016. Businesses dont have to pay this tax as long as they dont have a turnover of greater than 10 lacs per annum. This is because DO has officially entered the Indian Market and will need to comply with the Indian Tax authorities. This is not the case of Linode as they dont have an Indian office . This means that the DO plan at 10$ will be more than twice expensive when compared to Linode. Rest is upto you. Feel free to ask anymore questions
