Tackling differential outcomes for underrepresented students in higher education - Office for Students. Last week we published an independent evaluation of the Addressing Barriers to Student Success (ABSS) programme.
The two-year programme saw a £7.5 million investment by the OfS in 17 projects led by universities and colleges across England. The aim was to address inequalities in higher education and the structural barriers some groups of students face in achieving a good degree and going on to graduate-level employment or further study.
The OfS’s strategy for access and participation involves provider-level regulation, through which we agree commitments with providers to reduce gaps in equality of opportunity across the student lifecycle, and also sector-wide support for activity that will not be conducted by providers working alone, such as collaboration and sharing of ‘what works’. The ABSS programme delivers on the second part of our strategy. Queen Elizabeth’s Giggling Photo With Prince Philip Was All To Do With Bees. By Jamie Samhan. 11 Apr 2021 3:45 PM After the passing of Prince Philip on Friday, numerous photos of the Duke of Edinburgh have been passed around.
One of those being a photo of Queen Elizabeth passing Prince Philip dressed in full uniform during the Grenadier Guards’ review at Windsor Castle in 2003. On social media it was suggested that the Queen was giggling because the Iron Duke “pranked” her by dressing up but that isn’t the case. Feminism and the Razing of the Village. The intensity of motherhood surprises contemporary women.
Some of us struggle through it privately. Others write shocked confessionals in blogs and open letters that go viral. This recent entry in the genre from Time is typical, complete with the call for help: It’s time to recognize that by refusing to give parents — and especially women — some basic support to meet their competing obligations, we have created an impossible situation for them, one that has the makings of a serious public-health crisis. Who is the “we” that created this impossible situation for mothers? Creative Recovery: Mapping refugees' memories of home as heritage - University of Plymouth. Refugees, asylum seekers and migrants who fled conflict and other adversities in their homelands are facing challenging times here in the UK as they are trying to integrate and build a new life.
Being uprooted from your home and community is not easy especially when you are faced with new struggles in life around navigating the UK Migration System, searching for adequate housing and most importantly, defining who you are again in this world. Creative Recovery shows the narrative that the media misses from war-torn countries and others suffering from conflict. Artificial Intelligence improved by cultural heritage. Year of the Rat. The Strategic Consequences of the Coronavirus Crisis. It was to be the world of Blade Runner (1982), which is supposed to take place in 2019, or that of Soylent Green (1973), which happens in 2022.
But it is the world of Contagion (2011) that we are now living in. SARS-CoV-2 is certainly less dangerous than the one described in that movie, but it is nevertheless diabolical because it is rare from an epidemiological standpoint. It is at the same time rather “stealthy” but very infectious (a great “affinity” for human cells, a viremic peak at the end of the incubation period); quite contagious. The Conspiracy Myth. For years, normality has been stretched nearly to its breaking point, a rope pulled tighter and tighter, waiting for a nip of the black swan’s beak to snap it in two.
Now that the rope has snapped, do we tie its ends back together, or shall we undo its dangling braids still further, to see what we might weave from them? Covid-19 is showing us that when humanity is united in common cause, phenomenally rapid change is possible. None of the world’s problems are technically difficult to solve; they originate in human disagreement. The Coronation. For years, normality has been stretched nearly to its breaking point, a rope pulled tighter and tighter, waiting for a nip of the black swan’s beak to snap it in two.

None of the world’s problems are technically difficult to solve; they originate in human disagreement. In coherency, humanity’s creative powers are boundless. On Being Human – KEITH CLEVERSLEY.
