Small number of Manitoba school divisions granted more time to conduct teacher certification reviews | CBC News The province has granted several school divisions more time to review teacher credentials. Earlier this year, Education Minister Tracy Schmidt ordered all 37 school divisions to ensure their teachers have proper certification. The deadline was March 27.

This only addresses public schools. Private schools have #uncertifiedteachers too. If you have a child in private school in Manitoba, or elsewhere, I URGE YOU to ask for your child’s teachers’ certifications. You will be shocked!

OpenAI introduces a blueprint to strengthen child protection against AI-related abuse In response to growing concerns about the safety of children online, OpenAI has released a comprehensive Child Safety Blueprint aimed at reducing AI-enabled child exploitation in the United States. The blueprint, developed in collaboration with organizations such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Attorney General Alliance, targets faster detection, improved reporting, and more efficient investigation of AI-generated abuse content. The Internet Watch Foundation reported over 8,000 cases of AI-generated child sexual abuse content in the first half of 2025, a 14% increase from the previous year, with criminals using AI tools for generating explicit images of children and for grooming purposes. The initiative also responds to lawsuits alleging that previous OpenAI products contributed to psychological harm and suicides among young users. Key measures in the blueprint include updating legislation to cover AI-generated abuse materials, refining mechanisms for law enforcement reporting, and integrating preventative safeguards into AI systems. OpenAI emphasizes that these steps will help detect potential threats earlier and ensure that actionable information is swiftly available to investigators. The new blueprint builds on earlier guidelines designed to prevent harmful AI interactions with minors, including prohibitions against generating inappropriate content or advice that could endanger users under 18.
