OED gives the etymology from educare and the base Latin form would be educo but this had/has two different senses. The first is the rearing or raising of children, livestock, comparable to modern sense, and the second is to draw or lead out, to bring before a court, to raise, to bring up the rear, etc. I like what the second sense brings with the image of a civilized human being being drawn out of a great ape with a language facility. The coronavirus disease infected millions and killed hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
It is easily transmitted through droplets which are released by sneezing or coughing. These droplets are not visible to our naked eye. In addition, some infected people are asymptomatic or do not have symptoms making it difficult to tell if the person we are in contact with is a source of infection. He added: ‘We believe this will reduce administrative burdens on schools, and in the future could also be utilised by parents of younger children to support transition from primary to secondary school.' Ministers hope the app could be rolled out as early as 2026, meaning teenagers will no longer have to collect their results in person (pictured: Brighton College pupils picking up their GCSE results last year) Pepe Di'Iasio, General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: 'The Education Record app represents a positive step forward in making greater use of digital technology in education and will bring benefits to students, schools and colleges.  And they say it could sit in the new ‘gov.uk wallet' currently being designed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, which can be used for official digital documents such as drivers' licenses.
Unfortunately, many students cannot participate in this new method of learning as they don't have access to the necessary resources. In developing countries more than 50% of their student population who do not have access to a computer or internet connection to use for schoolwork. In fact, some don't even have electricity in the home. Education minister Stephen Morgan said: ‘It is high time exam records were brought into the 21st century, and this pilot will allow schools and colleges to focus on what they do best: teaching the next generation rather than being bogged down in bureaucracy.' There are a variety of interventions available to support students with special needs, whether it's academic or behavioral.
It is important to match the right intervention to every student so they can make progress. This involves creating individualized plans that consider the student's strengths and weaknesses. Such plans can be created by discussing with family members what works best, adapting instruction based on the student's learning style, and more. James Bowen, assistant general secretary at school leaders' union NAHT, said: ‘It makes a lot of sense to look into modernising how exam results are handled and any moves to cut bureaucracy and costs are welcome.
Most schools planned to suspend their classes for 2 to 4 weeks only but the continued threat from the disease has extended the class suspension to months.
