How stop and search is failing black people (2020)
There has been renewed criticism over stop and search in the UK after research found that BAME people are 54% more likely to be fined under coronavirus rules than white people. The subsequent death of George Floyd in the US and the support for the Black Lives Matter movement has brought more scrutiny to the disproportionatality. Black people are 9.7 times more likely than white people to be stopped and searched and 40 times more likely under the controversial section 60 power, which has risen as the government has tried to crack down on knife crime. Some say this points to racism within the police. Does stop and search need reform?

Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic on Education (Journal of Education and Practice, 2020)
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) outbreak poses serious concerns to global education systems. Efforts to contain COVID-19 prompted unscheduled closure of schools in more than 100 countries worldwide. COVID-19 school closures left over one billion learners out of school. The study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on education. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 200 respondents that consist of teachers, students, parents, and policy makers selected from different countries. The collected data were analyzed using STATA/Regression. The results show that COVID-19 has adverse effects on education including, learning disruptions, and decreased access to education and research facilities, Job losses and increased student debts. The findings also show that many educators and students relied on technology to ensure continued learning online during the Coronavirus pandemic. However, online education was hindered by poor infrastructures including, network, power, inaccessibility and unavailability issues and poor digital skills. The study underscores the damaging effects of COVID-19 on education sector and the need for all educational institutions, educators, and learners to adopt technology, and improve their digital skills in line with the emerging global trends and realities in education.

Most schools throughout Latin America have closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the school closures, nearly 8 million Peruvian students, from preschool to high school, are stuck at home. Within a few weeks, the Ministry of Education (Minedu) developed the Aprendo en Casa (AeC) (meaning “Learn at Home”) strategy. Although the strategy has been designed with diverse users in mind, many have asked: How many students are actually using the AeC distance education program? What can we improve? In this context, Minedu's Office of Strategic Monitoring and Evaluation (OSEE), with the support of Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), designed a survey to learn about the experiences of school administrators, teachers, and parents with the program.

South Sudan announces schools closure as heatwave deepens (Sudan Tribune, 2024)
March 16, 2024 (JUBA) – South Sudan on Saturday announced an indefinite closure of all schools due to heatwaves characterized by very high temperatures in recent days. The Health minister, Yolanda Awel Deng said the heatwave could last for two weeks, with temperatures ranging between 41 degrees and 45 degrees Celsius. “The government has decided to take the following measures, one, close down all schools with effect from March 18, two, during the closure of the schools, parents are advised to stop their children from playing outdoors for prolonged periods and they should also monitor children, especially the young ones, for signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke,” Awel told reporters in the capital, Juba. Heatwaves, the minister said, can acutely impact large populations for short periods, often trigger public health emergencies, and result in excess mortality and cascading socioeconomic impacts like loss of work capacity and labor productivity and can also cause loss of health service delivery capacity. Awel said the disease surveillance department at the national Health ministry has put a system in place meant to detect and respond to cases, adding there are already cases of death related to excessive heat being reported in South Sudan. The Undersecretary in the Ministry of Environment, Joseph Africano Bartel said climate change is becoming a global phenomenon in which South Sudan will experience a lot of temperature fluctuations. Africano advised the public to take precaution against rising heatwaves in the country. He urged developed countries to cut emissions, saying South Sudan will soon experience climate change impact, including heavy rains, floods and droughts. A circular from the Environment and Forestry ministry warns of likely illness and deaths among adult and children should they be exposed to the high heatwaves. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), a heatwave can be defined as a period where local excess heat accumulates over a sequence of unusually hot days and nights. As such, heatwaves amplify many risks, such as health-related or economic risks, including increased human mortality, drought and water quality, wildlife and smoke, power shortages and agricultural losses.

Windcatcher (Wikipedia, 2022)
A windcatcher (wind tower, wind scoop) (Persian: بادگیر, Arabic: برجيل) is a traditional architectural element used to create cross ventilation and passive cooling in buildings. Windcatchers come in various designs: unidirectional, bidirectional, and multidirectional. Windcatchers are widely used in North Africa and in the West Asian countries around the Persian Gulf, and have been for the past three thousand years.Neglected by modern architects in the latter half of the 20th century, the early 21st century saw them used again, to increase ventilation and cut power demand for air-conditioning. Generally, the cost of construction for a windcatcher-ventilated building is less than that of a similar building with conventional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The maintenance costs are also lower. Unlike powered air-conditioning and fans, windcatchers are silent and continue to function when the electrical grid power fails (a particular concern in places where grid power is unreliable and expensive).Windcatchers rely on local weather and microclimate conditions, and not all techniques will work everywhere; local factors must be taken into account in design.
