Google Has a Plan to Disrupt the College Degree

Google's new certificate program takes only six months to complete, and will be a fraction of the cost of college.

Google recently made a huge announcement that could change the future of work and higher education: It's launching a selection of professional courses that teach candidates how to perform in-demand jobs.

These courses, which the company is calling Google Career Certificates, teach foundational skills that can help job-seekers immediately find employment. However, instead of taking years to finish like a traditional university degree, these courses are designed to be completed in about six months.

Laptops given to British schools came preloaded with malware and talked to Russia when booted

Department for Education says: 'We believe this is not widespread'

A shipment of laptops supplied to British schools by the Department for Education to help kids learn under lockdown came preloaded with malware, The Register can reveal.

The affected laptops, distributed to schools under the UK government's Get Help With Technology (GHWT) scheme, which started last year, came bundled with the Gamarue nasty – an old remote access worm from the 2010s.

The Register understands that a batch of 23,000 computers, the GeoBook 1E running Windows 10, made by Shenzhen-headquartered Tactus Group, contained the units that were loaded with malware. A spokesperson for the manufacturer was not available for comment.

https://schoolsucksproject.com/john-taylor-gatto/

Press PLAY to begin your journey. This video series is based on John Taylor Gatto's book, and arranged and edited by Brett Veinotte

Whether you're just now learning about John Taylor Gatto's work or well versed in it, this video series is a powerful and sharable resource. These videos consist of well-chosen excerpts from The Underground History of American Education, because they strike the root of the issues we see in American schools today.

The series includes eye opening accounts of Gatto's time as a school teacher, while elucidating the not-so-well-known history of modern schooling in America. Today's school critics and reformers stand on Gatto's shoulders, since it was Gatto who spent untold hours scouring through dry and bland writings of the architects of modern schooling to create this digestible and entertaining read. This is one of many books he wrote on the problems and history of compulsory schooling.

This playlist offers an ideal entry point into the work of John Taylor Gatto. It will also provide clarity for those already in the trenches of alternative education. This knowledge is of absolute necessity for anyone considering their own education or the education of their children.

🇵🇸 Testimonies from Gaza : Randa Contemplates Her Uncertain Future | UNRWA

"I lost 11 people of my family, but I don’t have time to think of them. You can’t just think of them because now you have to think of something more important, which is life basics."  Randa (17) was in her final year in high school, preparing for her Tawjihi (end-of-school) exams, preparing for  college abroad. Now she contemplates her uncertain future, questioning whether, if she survives, she'll find the strength to dream again.
