UK designer Thomas Heatherwick's studio has revealed plans for The British School in Tokyo, which will be the first school the practice has designed.Located in the Azabudai Hills development in Tokyo's Minato City area, the 15,000 square-metre school was designed to give students access to numerous outdoor spaces.

Computation is a familiar concept most of us understand intuitively.Take the function f() = + 3. When x is three, f(3) = 3 + 3. Six.Easy.It seems obvious that this function is computable.But some functions aren't so simple, and it's not so easy to determine if they can be computed, meaning they may never give us a final answer.

The data are alarming, code red!In 2022 according to the California Department of Education 33% of California's students met math standards and 47% met English Language Arts standards.And in San Jose, the capital of Silicon Valley, our students score significantly below the state average.Here are the facts, just the facts, most education leaders do not want you to know.

Courtesy of CCSF Faculty Union Students, staff and faculty members are raising concerns about freezing classrooms, with temperatures in the 50s at several City College of San Francisco campuses.Students are referring to classrooms as "ice boxes" and "igloos," wearing multiple jackets and blankets, and even dropping out of classes due to the chilly conditions.

On Tuesday March 14th, hundreds of students from various regions across the country will undertake a pilot test, which includes various models of what the future university entrance exams in Spain could look like.The results will not be counted towards the final grades of the students, but they will be used to analyse responses and make the necessary corrections for 2024, when it is expected that the new exam will come into force.

The 'STEAM+ Expo' logo which was used for the event (Image: Robert Dunn, organiser of the event) On Wednesday 22nd February 2023, Wimbledon High School held its very first STEAM+ Expo' with a theme of Hope through Action'.The evening welcomed staff, students, and friends of WHS to look at the climate crisis in a new light, addressing how what students learn at school provides the younger generation (those who will hopefully be the next world leaders and influencers) vital information to tackle climate change.

Employers in the strike-hit education and health sectors are facing challenges recruiting staff, new research suggests.A survey of 2,000 senior managers found that more than half of those in education and healthcare have vacancies which are hard to fill.Both sectors have been hit by strikes for several months in bitter disputes over pay and staffing.

Nearly one in three primary schools in England do not have a male classroom teacher, a study suggests.The proportion of secondary school teachers who are male remains at a record low (35 per cent), according to a Warwick Business School report.Researchers said boys from poorer backgrounds would benefit from having a male teacher in school but they are less likely to have one.

In March, a team of mathematical tilers announced their solution to a storied problem: They had discovered an elusive einstein a single shape that tiles a plane, or an infinite two-dimensional flat surface, but only in a nonrepeating pattern.I've always wanted to make a discovery, David Smith, the shape hobbyist whose original find spurred the research, said at the time.

The coat of arms of Italy's aristocratic House of Borromeo contains an unsettling symbol: an arrangement of three interlocking rings that that cannot be pulled apart but doesn't contain any linked pairs.That same three-way linkage is an unmistakable signature of one of the most coveted phenomena in quantum physics and it has now been observed for the first time.

In order to keep the anthropology library open, we, UC Berkeley students and community members, have begun an open-ended occupation of the library.Chancellor Carol Christ is going against the support of students, faculty, and our surrounding communities in order to close the anthropology, math, and physics libraries.

The CRYSTALS-Kyber public-key encryption and key encapsulation mechanism recommended by NIST in July 2022 for post-quantum cryptography has been broken.Researchers from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, used recursive training AI combined with side channel attacks.A side-channel attack exploits measurable information obtained from a device running the target implementation via channels such as timing or power consumption.

A new study has found there is no significant difference in academic performance between children attending single sex or mixed schools in Ireland.

The number of vacancies in schools is substantially higher than before the pandemic which suggests more teachers are leaving the profession, a report has found.Limited opportunities for teachers to work from home may have made teaching less attractive amid a rise of remote working in other professions, the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) has said.

The Mets have been both bad and unwatchable for the better part of two weeks, so Tuesday night counted as progress: They were watchable.Watchable, as they fought back after being put in a deep hole by David Peterson, Stephen Nogosek, and (one could argue) the umpiring crew, which missed a ball headed for Francisco Lindor's glove hitting Wil Myers in the hand as he slid into second.

Every spring, Mona Gorjestani eagerly awaits the arrival of Nowruz.I have wonderful memories of preparing for Nowruz with my family, the San Francisco Bay Area resident said.When I was younger, it was definitely a bragging point to my American friends.Persian New Year, which is celebrated on spring equinox and began this year on March 20, is one of the most joyous occasions on the calendar for her and millions of people across the globe.

How do we know which food is best for us?We might start a low-carb diet.Then we switch to whole grains, or even go fully vegan-only to return to a low-carb diet yet again.We constantly change our minds.Even scientists keep revising their perspectives.Why is it so difficult to be certain on issues like these?

The recent letters in the Tribune about Ukraine avoided the trope of reacting to Vladimir Putin's invasion as leading to World War III, but to those who worry about this, I say: This is it.This is what WWIII looks like.There is a bigger picture in which freedom and democracy in the world have been retreating for a couple of decades, notably in Russia, where the last embers of democracy were extinguished by Putin, and in China, where President Xi Jinping has gathered more power for himself than anybody there since Mao Zedong.

I recall that I am extremely forgetful, announces the narrator of Percival Everett's Dr No in the novel's opening lines.I believe I am.I think I know that I am forgetful.Though I remember having forgotten, I cannot recall what it was that I forgot or what forgetting feels like.No sooner has the reader crossed the threshold of the narrative than it begins to reveal itself as a labyrinth of mirrors, an elaborate and joyously rickety construction of philosophical gags and structural paradoxes.

Though classrooms have largely returned to pre-pandemic operations, final exams aren't necessarily back on every high schooler's schedule.Over the past three years, students have faced different final assessments depending on their province, school board or even their individual teachers.While some reinstated exams as before, others have yet to resume the practice.

Hannes Keller, a Swiss mathematician and inspired amateur explorer, planned his audacious deep ocean dive for more than a year.In December 1962, he intended to descend deeper than anyone before him: 1,000 feet down, off Santa Catalina Island, near Los Angeles, in a diving bell called the Atlantis.If a man could go, for instance, to 1,000 feet down and do practical work, Mr. Keller wrote in The Sydney Morning Herald, then all the continental shelf zone could be explored, a total of more than 16 million square miles.

Elin Mattsson, a painter and mother of four from Finland, slammed the Italian education system in an open letter published in Siracusa News explaining why she couldn't live in Italy and didn't want her children to study in the country's schools.After her childrens' experiences at schools in Syracuse, Mattsson and her family quickly decided life in Sicily wasn't worth it and moved back to Spain.

Cell migration, or how cells move in the body, is essential to both normal body function and disease progression.Cell movement is what allows body parts to grow in the right place during early development, wounds to heal and tumors to become metastatic.Over the last century, how researchers understood cell migration was limited to the effects of biochemical signals, or chemotaxis, that direct a cell to move from one place to another.
