Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time.The University of Technology Sydney has abruptly shelved its primary teaching degree, saying it was losing money and struggling to attract students because of government-imposed academic standards for trainee teachers.
Professor Davidson’s email said UTS’s vice-chancellor and provost had asked him to take "prompt action" to pause the degree, and explore the possibility of offering a postgraduate primary education course instead. A spokeswoman for UTS said the pause would allow a review of the course in the first half of next year, "leading to a decision on its ongoing viability," she said.The decision was made before the federal government’s changes to student fees passed the Senate on October 8. "The challenges facing the area predate, and are unrelated to, the recent government funding changes," the spokeswoman said.

Charge over George Floyd killing dropped, but second-degree murder charge standsFormer Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin has a third-degree murder charge dropped, but will still face the more serious charge of second-degree murder over the incident that fanned racial tensions in the United States.

Derek Chauvin did nothing wrong. Fake News media is speaking for Communist China to stop Australian from knowing the true of the CCP virus.
