There is a shortage of veterinarians in Canada. For a farmer tending to a sick cow while waiting on hold for a veterinarian who might or might not have an opening that week, or for anyone living in a rural town who has driven three hours to get a sick dog treated, that is nothing new. The Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island is expanding, which is news and truly encouraging even though it doesn’t solve every problem. It will increase the number of seats from 70 to 95 starting in August 2027, adding 25 new students annually. Twenty-five…

Something a little strange is occurring on a street in Wilkoppies, specifically 27 Dr. Yusuf Dadoo Avenue. On a weekday morning, you’ll see kids coming from all over South Africa as you pass the gates. Some are said to have come as far as Tanzania. That detail is noteworthy for a school located in Klerksdorp, a city that most South Africans may not immediately associate with elite academics. The reputation of Ashton John’s Private School has been steadily growing. It functions as a Cambridge International School, offering the globally acclaimed Cambridge Assessment International Education curriculum from Grade R through Grade…

The image of a student entering a university exam room while a button on their shirt silently records everything has an almost cinematic quality. Not a prop for a movie. The plot is not thrilling. According to reports, this occurred during a University of Sydney final exam earlier this month, and the consequences are still being felt. Like many contemporary scandals, it began on social media. Questions from the paper surfaced on Douyin, the Chinese equivalent of TikTok, and Xiaohongshu, also known as RedNote in English, around the time of the University of Sydney’s Introductory Microeconomics exam, ECON1001, a unit…

The way Veterans Education Benefits operate is strangely quiet. Many eligible veterans and their families never fully utilize the billions of dollars in programs that are available every year to pay for housing, books, vocational training, and tuition. It appears that part of the issue is just not knowing where to begin. Most of the time, that beginning point is just one phone number. The GI Bill Call Center, which is manned Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central Time, can be reached by calling the VA Education Benefits number, 888-GIBILL-1 or 888-442-4551. It sounds almost too…

Nowadays, you can find someone with an opinion on Christian Light Education in the majority of homeschool cooperatives. strong beliefs, typically. Someone who tried it for three weeks and thought the pacing was a little too fast, or a parent who believes it helped a struggling reader. Seldom is there a middle ground, and strangely, that works to its advantage. The curriculum known as Christian Light Education, or CLE, has been steadily gaining popularity for many years. It was created by Christian Light Publications in Virginia and is based on the Anabaptist faith. It covers all of the major subjects…

A scholarship that doesn’t require your transcript has a subtle refreshing quality. No need for a GPA. No threshold for income. There is no verdict-like standardized test score associated with your name. The Gen and Kelly Tanabe Scholarship follows a different logic, placing nearly all of the emphasis on a student’s personal statement, which is a few hundred words that allows them to express themselves without interference from their financial situation or academic standing. By some standards, it’s a modest award. A thousand dollars. However, that sum covers actual gaps for a student assembling money from various sources, such as…

Apple has a long history of sticking to its price points. You hardly ever see a clearance rack or a markdown when you walk by an Apple Store. The company just doesn’t do sales, at least not in the conventional sense. Because of this, the Education Store feels somewhat like a secret door that most people pass by without noticing. The savings from the Apple student discount are more significant than many people realize. Eligible customers can save 5% to 15% on a variety of products, including MacBooks, iPads, and now Apple Watch models, through Apple’s special Education Store. That…

The majority of the events that take place within the boundaries of the Arlington Independent School District do not make headlines across the country. That says something on its own. Arlington ISD, which serves nearly 60,000 students across 75 schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, is one of Texas’s larger public school systems—the 11th largest, to be exact—but it is frequently overlooked in discussions that focus on the wealthier, more successful suburban districts that are close by. You can see its scope when you stroll through the district’s enrollment events this summer. Paperwork in hand, families are arriving at various…

Around this time each year, thousands of students sit with a long list of university websites open on twenty tabs and their CUET results open on one. After two hours, they are even more perplexed than when they began because they are manually comparing cutoffs, cross-referencing categories, and second-guessing themselves. It’s a well-known scene, and to be honest, it doesn’t need to be this difficult anymore. One of the more beneficial developments in India’s undergraduate admissions process is the CUET college predictor. It replaces hours of disorganized research with something more structured, not because it makes any guarantees—it doesn’t. The…

A school with its gates locked on a Wednesday morning has a subtly unnerving quality. There was no commotion, no children spilling out of buses, and no anxious teachers gripping coffee cups. There was only a handwritten sign attached to the door stating that children should stay at home today due to the heat. More than 850 schools in England and Wales experienced it this week, and it has caused many parents to have concerns that go far beyond the practicalities of childcare. A red weather warning for extreme heat was issued by the Met Office for a large area…
