Strike on Girls’ School Kills at Least 175, Iranian State Media Says

Schools should be places of joy, safety, and learning—never military targets.

Today I am thinking of the scores of children, families, teachers, and unionists whose lives have been lost or upended. We at NEA are in solidarity with members of @eduinternational.bsky.social in calls for peace in Iran.

Israel's security cabinet approves measures to strengthen control over the West Bank Israel's security cabinet has approved measures to strengthen control over the occupied West Bank and weaken the powers of the Palestinian Authority.

This is a bad move away from peace. The Israeli Cabinet voted to destroy the Oslo Process by extending Israeli law into the West Bank. Israel’s right-wing government is allowing the settlement project to destroy the dream of Israel alongside the dream of Palestine.

🗨️The hardships they endure working with such dignity and commitment under occupation are a lesson for us all. I wanted to honor them and those we have lost in Gaza, but no words suffice for such a massive failure of humanity. Sometimes we just have to show up for each other.

Fully agree with Jelmer’s take. A Europe that is silent about education amidst challenges that demand an educated citizenry on multiple fronts could very well lose its voice on the future. 👇
