Washington (AFP) - A Virginia school board voted Friday to restore the names of Civil War Southern generals to two schools, four years after they were removed following a wave of protests for racial justice. The move by the Shenandoah County school board, in a five to one vote, bucks a nationwide trend of striking the names of prominent figures in the pro-slavery Confederacy from schools, US military bases and monuments. Honey Run Elementary School will once again be known as Ashby-Lee Elementary, while Mountain View High School will go back to being Stonewall Jackson High. Both are in the tow...

By Sara HUSSEIN Bangkok (AFP) - L'éducation de millions d'enfants est menacée par le changement climatique, comme l'a prouvé le mois dernier la vague de chaleur qui a frappé l'Asie et contraint à des fermetures d'écoles. Si l'arrivée des pluies saisonnières a offert un certain répit dans certaines régions, les experts redoutent que ce type de problème ne s'aggrave avec à terme de graves conséquences sur la scolarité. L'Asie se réchauffe plus rapidement que la moyenne mondiale avec des vagues de chaleur plus fréquentes, plus longues et plus intenses, mais la hausse des températures n'est pas l'...

New York (AFP) - With the dust still settling from protests at Columbia University, former and current students gathered last week to celebrate the career of Rashid Khalidi, one of the West's most prominent champions of Palestine.

But Khalidi, whose latest book on Palestine has been a best-seller since October, said his work has at most played a sm...

New York (AFP) - Columbia University, the epicenter of US student protests against the war in Gaza, on Monday canceled its main graduation ceremony, as colleges seek to contain the demonstrations that have rocked campuses for weeks.
