World Central Kitchen is devastated to confirm seven members of our team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza. Read our full statement on the loss of our team members here: wck.org/news/gaza-team…

We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.

£751M …. When your granny considers staying cold or to put the last £5 in the gas…. just remember £751M.

Mind boggling profits.

Racists claim there would be fewer murders of women, if not for migration, despite stats showing the very opposite.

The most pathetic part is many racists would probably accept a return to 1990's level murder of women, if they got 1990's level of white people.

RIP to all 🙏

Alice Zhuravel it implies that land size is equated to people and and that’s flawed for so many reasons. It’s dehumanizing. Gaza being smaller doesn’t mean it’s hurting any less, and its existence doesn’t mean Ukraine doesn’t need continued support via weapons and aid

When you learn a language at school, you're learning communication, empathy & solidarity & sociology, history, geography & politics from different perspectives. Your world view is wider. Your understanding is broader. Without a language, there's so much you're missing out on.

Unfortunate to see that teachers in NI seem to have been overlooked in this comparison.

M1 salaries here are £24,137, 6k below England & Wales, and with no increase since 2020. And with no signs of a resolution to industrial action as we have no functioning government here.

If PIS were the Tories, and Poland was the UK, then with just 36% they'd have a massive majority in parliament. Luckily, Poland has PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION, which means their governing coalition has to represent a MAJORITY of the voters. That's REAL democracy.

Well, this will be the last time the BBC tries to interview a highly competent professional.

The current NI curriculum in D&T invites pupils to design appropriate solutions for 'villagers in the developing world without clean water'. I really hope those pupils are shown that their peers in 'the developing world' are doing just fine.

Outrageous. British Gas is our school electricity supplier. We are locked in until Oct 24, paying £608K this year, up 400% on 2 years ago. They say there is no way to exit the contract, and that we must pay. They profit from public money and kids lose out. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Oracy is the ability to articulate ideas, develop understanding and engage with others through spoken language. It is not elocution lessons, it is not teaching children to speak posh or 'fixing' their accents, it's not just debating or public speaking.

Did you know the Arabic language has an “abjad” system and not an alphabet?

The Arabic abjad is made up of 28 letters, written from right to left. All of the letters are consonants, since the vowels in Arabic are denoted by diacritics.

A thread on Arabic letters & language…

We look at which countries host the most refugees around the world:

Poland has ranked first among EU countries – alongside Finland – in an international test of reading comprehension among school pupils.

It also has one of the largest gender disparities, with girls performing much more strongly than boys notesfrompoland.com/2023/05/16/pol…

'Nations with the lowest figures on the map *MIGHT* just have the highest real incident figures' 👀
In the absence of other data, it is just a biased comment.
The obvious reasons for these discrepancies are:
1. Legal definitions of robbery
2. Reporting
3. Prosecution rates
