They offer a high-quality, rigorous pathway into a profession through an “earn-and-learn” model, according to the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency. The salaries of apprentices in these programs increase as they complete coursework and take on more responsibility. The university is also piloting a program at UC Merced to offer the mathematics courses required to transfer to students online, and a partnership between UC Santa Cruz and Hartnell College that helps students navigate the transfer process. While Covid-related enrollment declines have mostly stabilized, colleges are still dealing with the falling birth rate, which means fewer 18-year-olds graduating from high school. At the same time, more parents now worry that their financial investment in their college tuition may not pay off, given steeply rising costs. Teachers in the Las Lomitas Elementary School District in Menlo Park are on strike after contract negotiations with the district faltered last night. The district’s two schools remain open with students being taught by substitutes and administrators, according to the district.
My research has precisely focused on understanding this energy, which is manifested in teacher commitment and work motivation. Teacher commitment functions as a stabilizing force in shaping behavior, enabling educators to maintain consistent, high-quality behaviors over time (Meyer & Herscovitch, 2001). My focus is specifically on teacher commitment to students facing socioeconomic adversity. While such commitment is crucial for supporting disadvantaged students, sustaining it can be challenging when educators are systematically exposed to overwhelming students’ needs that exceed their professional and personal capacities. In my work in Chile, I have explored the social and organizational conditions, as well as the personal characteristics, that either nurture or weaken teacher commitment to students (Órdenes, 2018). In America, the quality of publicly funded early learning programs is often scrutinized, especially in the pre-K years.
Shortages of teachers in the Netherlands are making it difficult for schools to spend the €8.5 billion (US$10 billion) in funding provided to help them accelerate learning in the wake of the pandemic. The primary school council PO-Raad reported that more than 40 percent of schools have not been able to find teachers to fill roles they planned to staff with the government recovery funds, which must be spent in two years. Chair of the council Freddy Weima said the shortages are greatest in the major cities in the Netherlands but that other regions across the country are experiencing shortages as well. School heads are concerned about special needs teachers leaving their roles to take on new positions, making special needs an area of particular shortages. Leaders are also pointing to the need to close a long-standing wage gap between primary and secondary teachers, which has left the shortages concentrated at the primary level.

Our role in school is to take care that our society works as normally as possible. The Finnish way to lead schools is to talk with teachers, trust them, ask for advice. But in that crisis, I needed to give straight orders, and the first order I gave is that nothing changes. By prioritising early childhood education and realising its pivotal role as step zero of foundational literacy and numeracy, India can ensure that all children are equipped for success in their educational journeys and beyond. Neuroscience indicates that early preventive intervention is more efficient and produces favourable outcomes than remediation later in life1.
The UC Transfer Hub is part of an effort to increase the number of community college students who enroll at UC campuses, according to the university.

Child Care Aware of America, an advocacy group, estimates that about 13,000 regulated in-home day cares have closed since 2019, a 12% drop. Rising costs and the pressures of the pandemic revealed the pre-existing struggles in the sector. About 13% of young children have a family member who had to quit, change or turn down a job because of child care, according to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, which examined Commerce and Labor Department data.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the district has about 14,000 empty seats, and enrollment is expected to decline by an additional 5,000 students in the next five years. San Francisco Unified announced this week a plan to close or merge eight elementary schools, one K-8 and two high schools. In English, 34.72% of students met or exceeded standards, just a 1.52 percentage point improvement in one year; in math, 25.14% of students met or exceeded standards, a 1.83 point increase. The Dream Center will ensure Kings County’s foster and homeless youth have access to “vital support and resources,” The Sentinel reported on the intent of the center, which opened this week.

We have no place for this kind of senseless violence in our district or our county.” Investigators determined that the suspect was a 24-year-old West Bloomfield man. He was arrested overnight when police executed a search warrant in West Bloomfield Township. This week, as part of its investigation, state police executed a warrant at the home curriculum coffee Mascia shares with his family on Long Island. Udice said he could not elaborate on what was recovered or what evidence may exist because it could compromise the investigation.

These two sources of energy—intrinsic motivation and extrinsic incentives—combine to fuel the complex process of teaching in schools. As kindergartens have developed a stronger footing, the country is contending with a changing demographic and growing social inequality, testing its devotion to equity and progressive social values. Over the past decade, the number of “minority-language” children, kids with two parents who speak a language that is not native to the Scandinavian countries or English, has nearly doubled. Almost 20 percent of children in kindergarten primarily speak a language other than Norwegian, and in some cities as many as 35 percent of children are minority-language speakers. I traveled to Norway in April, disillusioned after nine years of reporting on child care in the U.S., where parents often pay exorbitant sums for care that comes with no guarantee of quality and relies on underpaid workers.
When I arrived at Ullmann’s office a few months ago to interview him about Kanvas, he led me to one of the windows that looks out over Møllergata street. Just past the rusty roof of the building across the road, we could see the top of Regjeringskvartalet, a cluster of government offices, the target of that car bomb. The complex never reopened after the blast, which killed eight and injured more than 200. A few hours later, the far-right extremist behind the bombing opened fire at a youth summer camp on an island 24 miles from central Oslo, killing 69 people, most of them teenagers and young adults affiliated with the youth wing of the country’s Labor Party. The district plans to hold town halls, school site conversations and public meetings before a final vote in December. District officials said the plan would save the district up to $22 million. Like many other districts across the state, San Francisco is losing enrollment.
Sandnes invited a toddler near her to come look at a collection of small, felt stuffed animals shaped like birds stacked inside the cardboard birdhouse, which had been sewn by her mother for the bird unit the children were embarking on. A child reached inside and pulled out a duck, proudly naming it in Norwegian. To be sure, aspects of Norway’s kindergarten system are still being developed, and the country must adapt as its population becomes more diverse. Between 2003 and 2018, the percentage of children ages 1 to 5 attending kindergarten increased from 69 percent to 92 percent. Now, the country is focusing on improving quality and targeting children who are behind in language development. Many of the Norwegians I interviewed spoke of a strong cultural expectation that adults contribute to Norway’s economy. More than 72 percent of the country’s labor force works, 10 percentage points higher than in America.
The deadline for applying to magnet, selective, charter, and other schools outside a student’s neighborhood is being extended one week, from Nov. 15 to Nov. 22.
