It isn't fair for me to be charged a "penalty" by my college because I have fallen into worse poverty and cannot even afford a daily allowance for college or for petrol. I needed them to extend my semester, but they insisted on a penalty of RM400. I believe I must pay this when I re-enter college in July. However, I have decided not to pay it immediately, but rather to have a conversation with the staff first to discuss the matters behind the penalties that justify them being charged to me, and why I am being penalized due to my hardship (poverty) and need for a hiatus. #StudentDebt #PovertyIsNotACrime #EducationForAll #KrisisKewanganPelajar #MahasiswaMalaysia #KenaikanYuran #AcademicExploitation #FightTheFee #EducationApartheid #WaiveTheFee #StopStudentPenalties #SolidarityNotFines #CostOfLivingCrisis #YouthInDebt #BrokenEducationSystem #MalaysiaBoleh #ReformasiPendidikan #Malaysia #MSU #MSUCollege #Education #Vent #Hardships

![In a letter to school district superintendents Friday, the California Department of Education, or CDE, defended the legality of DEI efforts.
"There is nothing in state or federal law ... that outlaws the broad concepts of 'diversity,' 'equity,' or 'inclusion,'" wrote Chief Deputy Supt. David Schapira in the letter to school districts, county education offices and charter schools.
CDE also sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Education about the decision not to comply — and said the federal request was vague.

Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!
This is how you do it. Two groups representing Harvard professors are suing the Convicted Felon administration over its threat to cut their federal funding. This is what every single group they’ve targeted should be doing. #Politics #College #Universities #Education #Funding #Democracy #FirstAmendment #US #USpol https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/us/politics/harvard-professors-trump-lawsuit-funding.html?unlocked_article_code=1._U4.uJ63.5Y4Yd5INA3vZ&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
Does anyone in my network know of any online training platform which uses freelance contributors for lab/course creation, or technical publications which are open to freelance submissions? Looking for companies based in AU, Canada, the EU or the UK. Boosts for reach very welcome #freelancing #writing #education
I have to ask myself why would the wife of a Canadian leader of a political party join an American women's group linked to the MAGA fascist party?
You're weekend assignment is to provide your child, grandchild, etc...a book to read that Poilievre's wife, as a member of ' Mom's for Liberty' would reject.
I would absolutely love it if every journalist, scientist, historian, traveler, foodie, sportsman, education institution would have their instance and presence on the Fediverse.
The Buzz is fine. But in IMHO, this can be an awesome educational tool. #education #science #history #fediverse #foodie #journalism

"A teacher won't be returning next school year after the district says she was accused of using a student's preferred name without a parent's permission."
Which is the exact reason the #fascists are destroying the #education system in the #USA.
#Trump’s *#education* secretary repeatedly referred to #ArtificialIntelligence as “A1”—like the popular steak sauce—instead of “AI” during a panel on artificial intelligence in education.

Keith Devlin wrote, “The shift began with the introduction of the digital arithmetic calculator in the 1960s, which rendered obsolete the need for humans to master the ancient art of mental arithmetical calculation.” Makes me wonder when #math #education will realize this.
