South Africa's next generation of investors has outpaced the broader market in this year's JSE Investment Challenge, delivering returns that eclipsed the All-Share Index's 23% gain during the competition period. The top-performing team in the schools' income portfolio category was “Cheslin Kolbe 1st Try” from Hoërskool Birchleigh in Kempton Park. Behind their success and that of three other winning teams stands Giba Mahlangu, a maths teacher with a knack for turning classrooms into incubators of financial savvy. In an interview with BizNews, Mahlangu shared his investment philosophy, his methods for sparking student interest in the stock exchange, and his deeper mission: nurturing entrepreneurs from a young age. “We have a serious problem with unemployment,” he said. “That's why I expose my learners to the stock market. I believe entrepreneurship is the only sustainable solution to South Africa's unemployment crisis.” His biggest challenge? The enthusiasm of his students. “They're so keen,” he said, “they sign up for everything.”

Schoolsweek reports that teachers will use “deepfake” technology to create an AI avatar of themselves to deliver catch-up lessons for pupils who have missed school. Staff at the Great Schools Trust will create the avatars – which look and sound just like them – using an AI video generator. They will be used to set out content children have missed, for instance after being absent or suspended. Our panel discusses! Panel: Tom Rogers, Yasmin Omar, Carl Smith, Lucy Trimnell.

In week two of our series in Galatians, Dave encouraged us to consider if our way of life looks more like a critic or a pupil. 

The panel - Lucy Trimnell, Tarjinder Gill and Carl Smith discuss the big breaking story from this week around a new statutory test for Year 8 students in schools in England. Pupils at state schools in England will face new reading tests in an attempt to tackle under-achievement by white working-class children. The government's forthcoming white paper on schools is to include a new test of reading ability for pupils in year 8, when they are aged 12 or 13, in an effort to encourage secondary schools to improve their teaching. The last Labour government scrapped national tests for year 9 pupils in 2008. If the new reading test is adopted it would mean England's state school pupils taking a compulsory national test in seven out of their 14 school years.

Just before Peter declares that Jesus is the Christ, Mark tells us about a strange miracle; the only time Jesus doesn't heal someone completely on the first try. A blind man receives partial sight, seeing "people, but they look like trees, walking," before Jesus gets it right the second time. This Sunday we'll see how Jesus patiently works to open our eyes completely—helping us see who He is.

Labour have admitted to failing white, working-class children in Britain. Writing in today's Daily Telegraph, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says it's a “national disgrace” that so many pupils are being left behind, pointing to an alarming rise in school absence whilst all-important attainment figures go the other way. Having inherited a strong schools system from the Conservatives, Gordon Rayner is joined by former Tory education minister, Sir Nick Gibb, to try and understand what's gone wrong. Gibb believes Labour “didn't do the work in opposition to try and understand how to improve” and that they've been “listening to the teacher unions too closely”.Plus, Tim Stanley and Cleo Watson speak to Lawrence Newport - the co-founder of Looking for Growth, a campaign group that wants to kick-start our flailing economy. Newport, who made his start in political campaigning by getting XL bully dogs banned, says our politics is fundamentally broken, too slow and too ineffective - echoing one of his group's backers, Dominic Cummings.Read:White working-class pupils ‘written off' by society, admits PhillipsonProducer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Andrew MackenzieSocial Producer: James SimmonsStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells Hosted on Acast.

Mark 1:16-20 16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 17 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." 18 At once they left their nets and followed him. 19 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. 20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.  NIV 84 Discussion Points and Questions 1. The 2008 USA Men's Olympic Basketball team, also known as the "Redeem Team", got to experience the thrill of winning Olympic Gold in Beijing, China. - What are some fond memories/experiences you have of being on a team? 2. "Pupils chose rabbis; rabbis did not choose pupils." - Timothy Keller Simon, Andrew, James, and John did not take a "blind leap of faith" in following Jesus. (John 1:35-42) They made an intentional choice. - Why is this difference an important aspect in this story? Why is this difference an important aspect in our relationship with Jesus? 3. The word "follow" shows up three different times in Mark 1:16-20. Each of these instances reveals a different aspect of what it means to follow Jesus. - Verse 17 "Follow me" = to follow Jesus is to pursue Jesus. - Verse 18 "followed him" = to follow Jesus is to join Jesus. - Verse 20 "followed him" = to follow Jesus is to be like Jesus.  - As you think about these different aspects of following Jesus, which one speaks the most to you? Why? 4. In Jeremiah 16, Ezekiel 12, Amos 4, and Habakkuk 1 we see the imagery of fishing being used to describe the divine judgment of God. With this in mind, the phrase "fishers of men" is more than just a clever play on words. It's in this phrase that Jesus connects His message (verses 14-15) to His promise (verse 17). - When you think about your current season of life, responsibilities/titles, those you are around, etc. where and how is Jesus wanting to use you as a "fisher of men"?

Thousands of young people across Turkey are protesting against the jailing of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's main rival. Many say they no longer fear prison, claiming they have nothing left to lose. University students were among the first to take to the streets after Imamoglu was detained last month. They believe his arrest was politically motivated, though the government denies this.“We are all sick and tired of the oppression that has been going on for such a while, and we are all fed up with it,” said an Istanbul university student who did not want to be named for fear of retribution.“All these things that happened to Ekrem Imamoglu and all the other political people that are sent to jail, we are just fed up. We can't take it anymore, so we are here to protest against the government.”For another student, the protests go beyond Imamoglu's case.“Everyone realises that it is not just a problem about Ekrem Imamoglu. We have a lot of problems in our country because of the economy, the inflation, because of the justice, because of the femicide, we have a lot of problems with our country,” she said.Turkey's rivalry with Iran shifts as US threats create unlikely common groundYouth defy fear of arrestThe protests are the largest seen against Erdogan's government in more than 10 years.Until now, political apathy, a weak opposition and a harsh crackdown on dissent have left few willing to challenge Erdogan's AK Party. But the country's youth are emerging as a key force for change.“They were really the ones that carried the first protests, they were the vanguards,” said Sezin Oney, a political commentator with Halk TV.Oney said many young people are losing hope due to widespread nepotism and corruption.“If you are not connected to somebody, even if you get the best education, then it does not matter; you have to have connections; this is how they are feeling," she said."They are striving for certain values; they are describing it as something that has to do with justice, with democracy, everything this government doesn't represent."Turkey's opposition calls for boycott as anti-Erdogan protests continueEconomy in free fallTurkey's youth have grown up in a country where 90 percent of the media is controlled by the state or its allies, and schools are designed to produce what Erdogan once called a loyal, pious generation.But that goal seems out of reach. “An overwhelming majority of the young people right now in Turkey prefer a pluralistic democratic system to a one-man strong system,” said Can Selcuki, head of Istanbul Economics Research, a polling firm.Selcuki said the sharp divides between secular and religious youth, once used by Erdogan to hold onto power, are fading as shared economic problems take centre stage. Turkey faces double-digit inflation and high youth unemployment.“As the economy is spiralling down, these young people find more common denominators in this worsening economy, making identity leverages disappear,” said Selcuki.“So the bad situation of the economy is bringing these young people together in a more socio-economic level, from a more class perspective.”Erdoğan tightens his grip with crackdown on protests while Europe stays silentCrackdown on dissent widensThe unrest has now spread to high schools, after the government decided to redeploy tens of thousands of teachers. Pupils in schools across the country have staged rare protests.Erdogan has reportedly asked his party to investigate the causes of the growing discontent.For now, the government is vowing to crack down. Court cases have begun against hundreds of protestors, most of them students, with prosecutors seeking up to three-year prison terms.Many detainees say they were beaten in custody, which authorities deny.New laws are also being discussed to curb further unrest. “There is a new crime they (the government) are trying to formulate, ‘disturbing the public order.' When you create this crime, then you can arrest basically anyone,” said Oney.“But I don't think it will succeed. The thing is especially the youth is thinking they have nothing to lose, they have reached their tipping point. There will be more arrests and more protests, it will be a vicious cycle, unfortunately.”Turkey is already seeing record numbers of highly educated people leave the country, but many young protestors say leaving is not an option. For them, staying and resisting is the only choice they have left.

Our bodies are like a box of surprises, right? Sometimes, you stumble upon some real head-scratchers. Like, imagine having two pupils in one eye – talk about seeing double!

But hey, that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the strange and wonderful world of human bodies. We're walking, talking wonders, quirks and all.

Are teachers keeping up with their pupils when it comes to AI in the classroom? A recent survey in the United States showed that more than 70% of students report using AI for their school assignments, even in the face of institutional restrictions on tools like ChatGPT. This finding comes from a study conducted by The Harker School, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of California, Santa Barbara. The data shows that pupils are engaging with these LLMs more often than adults, suggesting that younger users are adapting to AI technologies quicker. But that begs the question are educators keeping pace with these developments? In a special edition about AI and the future of education Gareth and Ghislaine are joined by Mutlu Cukurova, a Professor of Learning and Artificial Intelligence at University College London. We also hear more tech for Good from CES in Las Vegas. The BeeKee Box is a classroom in a box that can be used where there is no connectivity.

The NEurodivergent peer Support Toolkit (NEST) is a set of free resources for staff in mainstream secondary schools who wish to facilitate peer support for neurodivergent young people. The toolkit was co-created by researchers at the University of Edinburgh, neurodivergent young people and a neurodiverse group of adults who work with neurodivergent young people. The project was funded by the Salvesen Mindroom Research Centre Scientific Advisory Board. In this episode Katie Cebula and Catherine Crompton talk about how the NEST came about, what it involves and how it could support pupils in your school.
