The Crisis of Public Education in North Carolina

Image
  North Carolina public schools are facing multiple crises. NC General Assembly's reactionary policy privatizing education through vouchers for charter schools is increasingly bankrupting the public schools. A significant number of Black, Brown, and working class students, who make up more than 50% of public school population (source: NC Newsline, February 24, 2022 ), attend deteriorated public schools since funds have been siphoned to private schools in the form of vouchers (source: Public School First NC, September 2022 ). The draining of funds is also putting already underfunded Pre-K Schools and child care centers (where low income families are eligible) on the verge of closure ( Source: WUNC August 30, 2024).   On top, NC teachers’ salaries are consistently declining (source: CBS17, May 2, 2024 ), forcing many teachers to quit (source: WRAL, April 3, 2024) .

It is not surprising that polluting industries, trash landfills, and major highways causing particulate pollution are often located close to where Black and people of color communities live. Black-led movements have also shut down the Atlantic Coast gas P...

Why Emotional Education Matters in Schools?

By Fizza Javed* and Nurul-Ain-Shah* Pakistan’s Educational system is missing a piece of puzzle that disrupts the proper grooming of children. Imagine a classroom where students are not just learning realities and figures but get to grips with their own emotions, mastering resilience, and growing into well-rounded individuals who understand regulation and balance. In Pakistan, where the education system often prioritizes high grades over emotional well-being, critical thinking, and creative expression, this vision remains unrealized. Yet, with the growing challenges of mental health crises, social pressures, rising crime rates, and rapid technological disruptions, it is clear that emotional regulation is no longer an amenity, it is an essential skill for today’s students. Importance of emotional regulation for children Emotional regulation is the ability to manage and respond to emotional experiences in a healthy and productive way . Emotional regulation equips students to handle stress...
