Alberta’s Minister of Education and Childcare Demetrios Nicolaides introduced, in Edmonton on Monday, November 3, 2025, legislation to update the Education Act.
Alberta’s classrooms are becoming increasingly complex, as more students join classrooms across the province with a range of learning needs, behavioral challenges and language barriers. Spotting these complex learning needs or struggles with reading and math early helps ensure every child receives the support they need to succeed.
To meet this challenge head on, Alberta’s government is proposing amendments to the Education Act that will prioritize reading and math screeners and ensure students that need extra help get the attention they need as early as possible. The amendments would require school boards and independent early childhood services (ECS) operators to:
- Conduct reading and math screenings for all students in kindergarten to Grade 3.
- Share screening results with parents to keep families informed and involved.
- Provide screening data to the department and make results available to the Ministry of Education and Childcare.

A woman tends to her crops in the village of Nasha in Bama County.
The only high school in Bama county now educates 3,400 students. Although it has limited teaching resources, over 60 percent of the graduating students made it into higher education in 2013. This level of success is new.
Seven years ago, the Ministry of Education prioritized rural education, as the gap in standards between city and village schools appeared to be growing. Funding to rural schools almost doubled with a priority placed on water, electricity, heating, staff training and multimedia facilities, all of which has clearly reached Bama high school.
Two years ago, the Ministry of Education again increased its rural education spending by 20 percent to 48 billion yuan (US$7.6 billion), with the goal of continuing to improve the nine-year free compulsory education in the villages.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services Mike Ellis announced, in Edmonton on March 25, 2026, new action to strengthen supervision of repeat offenders and protect Albertans from dangerous criminals.
The electronic monitoring program is expanding to strengthen supervision of repeat offenders and give victims real-time alerts when their safety may be at risk.
Budget 2026 invests $4.1 million over three years to activate new victim notification capabilities and expand the program across the province. Participating victims will receive immediate alerts if an offender breaches a court-ordered boundary, enters a restricted area or comes near their location. This expansion puts victims first and strengthens enforcement of court-ordered conditions.
The program provides 24-7 round-the-clock supervision of offenders subject to court-ordered conditions. Offenders are required to wear a GPS tracking device monitored by Alberta Correctional Services. The program enforces court-ordered inclusion and exclusion zones, helping keep offenders away from victims’ homes, workplaces and other protected locations.

In Ghana, hardworking individuals often prioritize work over self-care. But there's a unique self-care ritual that's both practical and efficient – using the Ghanaian sun to dry their hair while they work.
In a country where time is precious, many Ghanaians wash and set their hair but can't spare the time to sit under a hairdryer. Instead, they turn to the reliable Ghanaian sun. While going about their busy workdays, they let the sun naturally dry their hair, harnessing nature's power to save time and money.
This practice is a testament to their resourcefulness, showing that self-care can be integrated into even the busiest of lives. It's a reminder that self-care doesn't always require elaborate routines; sometimes, it's as simple as making the most of what's readily available.
So, when you see a Ghanaian worker with their hair drying in the sun, appreciate the ingenuity behind this practical form of self-care.

The Hill brings together lawmakers, mental health experts, and advocates to discuss these questions and more and explore why prioritizing mental health is intrinsically linked to good health overall.
The United States is facing an unprecedented mental health crisis as two in five American adults reported experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression in 2021. Fortunately, the country has witnessed a positive sea change in recognizing the importance of mental health and self-care in recent years, but significant work still remains to create a system that recognizes the nuances and needs of those with mental illness.
Schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder are just some of the many conditions affecting the 1 in 20 Americans experiencing serious mental illness today. The generalization of these disorders extends beyond everyday vernacular as one-size-fits-all policies, drugs and treatments continue to fail patients. Even when services are available, barriers like cost, cultural bias, and inconvenience often prevent people from accessing the care they need.
How can we break down the stigma associated with mental illness? How can we build a comprehensive care system to support all individuals affected by it?

For top-notch dental care in Rutland, seek a nearby dentist who prioritizes your oral health.

Climate change in Southeast Asia has been becoming a threat to agricultural production, food security, ecological stability, and sustainable development. Realizing the ongoing climate change issues, ASEAN Member States (AMS) together with international and national research agencies, and the private sector further continue working hand-in-hand to promote Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices to increase the resilience of the agriculture sector to the changing climate. From this background, the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network (ASEAN-CRN) Workshop on Promoting CSA Practices was held from 27-28 October 2015 at the Sheraton Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The two-day workshop served as way forward to promote the prioritized best CSA practices among AMS.
The workshop is led by the Thailand Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC) through its Department of Agriculture (DOA) in its capacity as the current chair of the ASEAN-CRN, with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) of Vietnam as host. The German-ASEAN Programme on Response to Climate Change (GAP-CC) – implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in cooperation with the ASEAN Secretariat, provided support for this event, along with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.

‘The Political Reporter’ is a new media installation by Boone, NC-based artist Mark Nystrom that generates random, but intriguing statements with words found on political websites and in the media. Sources include the Obama and Romney presidential campaigns, the Democratic and Republican parties, bloggers and the news media.
‘The Political Reporter’ animates a cloud of letters and periodically makes statements. These images are screen grabs taken while ‘The Political Reporter’ was running on Election Day and the day after.
Letters from words gathered from conservative sources are colored red and ones from liberal sources are blue. ‘The Political Reporter’s’ vocabulary includes over 70,000 words, but only 300 appear on the screen at any given time. As words are used to make statements, they are replaced by randomly chosen new ones from the list of 70,000.

Every Mind Matters: The Many Dimensions of Mental Illness
The Hill brings together lawmakers, mental health experts, and advocates to discuss these questions and more and explore why prioritizing mental health is intrinsically linked to good health overall.
The United States is facing an unprecedented mental health crisis as two in five American adults reported experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression in 2021. Fortunately, the country has witnessed a positive sea change in recognizing the importance of mental health and self-care in recent years, but significant work still remains to create a system that recognizes the nuances and needs of those with mental illness.
Schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder are just some of the many conditions affecting the 1 in 20 Americans experiencing serious mental illness today. The generalization of these disorders extends beyond everyday vernacular as one-size-fits-all policies, drugs and treatments continue to fail patients. Even when services are available, barriers like cost, cultural bias, and inconvenience often prevent people from accessing the care they need.
How can we break down the stigma associated with mental illness? How can we build a comprehensive care system to support all individuals affected by it?
