She was responding to inquiries about China sending its coast guard vessel to the area recently.

Using the IELTS for high school admission is unfair: education ministry

Inferring advantages for students with IELTS scores in the high school admission process may breed inequality, as not everyone has the means to study and take the test, the education ministry said.

Nguyen Xuan Thanh, head of the Department of Secondary Education under the Ministry of Education and Training, said there are four groups of students eligible for high school admission without taking the entrance exams in accordance with regulations from 2014: students at ethnic minority boarding schools; students of ethnic minorities; disabled students; and students with national prizes regarding culture, art, sports and science.

Certain other student groups get bonus points during the admission process, including children of war martyrs and invalids, as well as those living in areas with dire socioeconomic circumstances.

The Palestinian Authority’s prime minister announced his government’s resignation on Monday, seen as the first step in a reform process urged by the United States as part of its latest ambitious plans to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

But it will do little to address the authority’s longstanding lack of legitimacy among its own people or its strained relations with Israel. Both pose major obstacles to U.S. plans calling for the PA, which administers parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, to govern postwar Gaza ahead of eventual statehood.

WASHINGTON (AP) — From civil rights to privacy, the 14th Amendment has been a foundation for forging the norms of American law and democracy. But one of its provisions, adopted after the Civil War in 1868, has gotten almost no attention until now: That’s Section 3, the part that’s meant to keep former officeholders who “engaged in insurrection” from ever regaining power.

A Marketplace of Girl Influencers Managed by Moms and Stalked by Men

Seeking social media stardom for their underage daughters, mothers post images of them on Instagram. The accounts draw men sexually attracted to children, and they sometimes pay to see more.

For this investigation, the reporters analyzed 2.1 million Instagram posts, monitored months of online chats of professed pedophiles and interviewed over 100 people, including parents and children.

Feb. 22, 2024

The ominous messages began arriving in Elissa’s inbox early last year.

“You sell pics of your underage daughter to pedophiles,” read one. “You’re such a naughty sick mom, you’re just as sick as us pedophiles,” read another. “I will make your life hell for you and your daughter.”

Five former Saigon Commercial Bank executives who are abroad face trial for allegedly helping Truong My Lan misappropriate money and cause losses of VND488 trillion ($19.83 billion) to the lender.

The five, including two former chairpersons, have been ordered by the People’s Court of HCMC to turn themselves in before the trial on March 5 failing which they will be tried in absentia.
