Sarà anche invecchiata e a corto di risorse, ma è lì che ogni mattina nove milioni di bambini, ragazzi e adulti dai 3 ai 65 anni si danno appuntamento per «sfregare i loro cervelli l'uno contro l'altro» in modo da imparare ogni volta qualcosa di nuovo. Certo, se la giudichiamo con il metro dei test Invalsi e delle altre rilevazioni internazionali c'è ancora molta strada da fare, ma resta più che competitiva con il sistema privato, che in altri Paesi invece ha preso il sopravvento.

En Currículos para la reconstrucción del Estado venezolano, Raúl E. Martínez A. analiza con profundidad y claridad una de las grandes debilidades de Venezuela y de gran parte de Hispanoamérica: la falta de formación académica y técnica de quienes ejercen cargos públicos de alto nivel.

For many years, Diane Ravitch was among the country’s leading conservative thinkers on education. The cure for what ailed the school system was clear, she believed: high-stakes standardized testing, national standards, accountability, competition, charters, and vouchers. Then Ravitch saw what happened when these ideas were put into practice and recanted her long-held views. The problem was not bad teachers or failing schools, as conservatives claimed, but poverty.

On les appelle spin doctors, génies du faire croire, persuadeurs clandestins ou ingénieurs des âmes. Publicitaires, communicants, cinéastes ou propagandistes politiques, ces hommes ont en commun d’être passés maîtres dans l’art de la manipulation de masse. Ils bouleversent les règles du jeu politique, font et défont des élections, fabriquent le consentement, défendent les intérêts d’industries polluantes, influencent à leur insu le comportement de millions d’individus.

New technologies are offering companies, politicians, and others unprecedented opportunity to manipulate us. Sometimes we are given the illusion of power—of freedom—through choice, yet the game is rigged, pushing us in specific directions that lead to less wealth, worse health, and weaker democracy.

Hamza Abu Howidy erzählt uns vom Aufwachsen im Gaza der 2000er-Jahre, von seiner Familie, besonders seinem Vater, der ihm beim Muschelsammeln die großen Lektionen des Lebens beigebracht hat, aber auch von den blutigen Kämpfen zwischen Fatah und Hamas, direkt vor seiner Haustür, und wie sehr das Leben in Gaza von Terror geprägt war. Jahre später protestiert er gegen die Hamas und wird festgenommen, gefoltert und muss fliehen.

Care is the foundation of organic life. But its fate in the economy is precarious and uncertain. In our hearts it’s honoured as an irreducible good. But in the market it’s treated as a second-class citizen – barely recognized in the relentless rush for productivity and wealth. How did we arrive in this dysfunctional place? And what can we do to change things? Renowned ecological economist Tim Jackson sets out to tackle these questions in a timely and deeply personal book.

In an era defined by rapid technological advancement and evolving societal norms, we face unprecedented challenges. In the U.S., politicians and media drive societal division, overshadowing facts with opinions and sensationalism. Human issues such as homelessness, poor health care, unemployment, and immigration, are buried behind the heading of ‘politics’. It doesn’t have to be this way.

What if the system you trusted with the most important moment of your life wasn't designed with you in mind? Brittany George spent seventeen years inside the American healthcare system — helping employers, families, and employees navigate coverage, benefits, and access to care. She believed in it. She trusted it. And then she had a baby.

The national conversation about education is often loud, filled with political debate, performance metrics, and reform proposals. But beneath that noise, something quieter has been unfolding. Educators are leaving. The pipeline of new teachers is shrinking. Schools are relying on costly stopgap measures. And artificial intelligence is entering classrooms faster than systems are prepared to guide it.
