CHONGQING, March 20 (Xinhua) -- A delegation of mayors from various regions in the United Kingdom (UK) on Thursday wrapped up a visit to Chongqing, a megacity in southwest China, having gone there to explore business and trade opportunities. The British Mayoral Delegation included senior members of government departments from the West Midlands, East Midlands, Greater Manchester, Liverpool City Region, Bristol and West of England, as well as other regions and cities. "Chongqing is quite a dynamic city, and I'm very impressed by its scale. The people here are very welcoming, and we look forward to working with them," said Richard Parker, the delegation leader and mayor of the West Midlands. During the two-day visit, the UK delegation engaged in in-depth discussions with the Chongqing Municipal Commission of Commerce on deepening China-UK (Chongqing) investment cooperation, visited the Chang'an Automobile Global R&D Center, and held a meeting with Hu Henghua, mayor of Chongqing. Hu expressed hope for further expanding economic and cultural exchanges with various regions of the UK, strengthening cooperation in new-energy vehicles, bio-medicine, finance and other fields, and deepening local friendly exchanges for the sound and stable development of China-UK relations. "During this visit, I was delighted to witness the exceptional innovation culture upheld by local enterprises. We are keenly eager to explore collaborative opportunities with all stakeholders," said Nadine Peatfield, deputy mayor of the East Midlands. Given the large-scale expertise in digital technologies in the automotive sector of Chongqing, Mike Wharton, deputy mayor of the Liverpool City Region, also expressed his willingness to deepen cooperation in this area, adding that Liverpool has strengths in terms of manufacturing, logistics and supply chain management for the automotive sector, and this could be leveraged for new collaborations alongside Chongqing's large automotive industry and production sale.
Superintendents aren’t just educational administrators; they are also civic leaders their communities turn to to weigh big decisions and navigate uncertainty. That’s increasingly true as national political debates percolate down to stoke local controversies, and as districts face tough calls related to budget cuts and meeting the needs of a changing economy, said a panel of experts who help superintendents embrace the political nature of their roles. The group of former superintendents and leadership experts, members of a new effort called the Collaborative on Political Leadership in the Superintendency, spoke March 6 at the national conference of AASA, the School Superintendents Association. “For many people across the community, the first person they look to during difficult times is their school superintendent,” said Kristine Gilmore, a former superintendent who now serves as associate executive director of AASA’s leadership network. To manage that responsibility, superintendents must establish and maintain personal priorities, set aside time for intentional relationship-building, and make the work a priority, long before a crisis emerges, the panel said. Here are six tips for superintendents who want to be more politically savvy. 1. Build coalitions, not just relationships Superintendents should first focus on “building the broadest coalition that we can” to support the ambitious vision of providing a quality education for all children, said Lindsay Whorton, president of the Holdsworth Center, an organization that works with Texas superintendents. Leaders should go beyond one-on-one relationships, instead drawing together community members, like the leaders of civil rights organizations and key businesses, to help build a shared vision and sense of advocacy, she said. To create a broader coalition, members may have to agree to disagree on some non-essentials, Whorton added. 2. Build the groundwork early Leaders should build this “kitchen cabinet” of advisers long before there’s a big decision or change on the horizon, said Ray Hart, the executive director of the Council of the Great City Schools. “If you wait until you want to put a bond on a ballot and then you decide to create those relationships, you are too late,” he said. 3. Prioritize nonnegotiables “These days, everything is contested,” said Jennifer Perry Cheatham, a former superintendent who is now a senior lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and co-leader of the collaborative. It can make it difficult to find areas of agreement when people argue about terminology like “equity” and “standards,” she said. Superintendents should write down their core values and post them in visible places, like the corner of their laptop during a school board meeting, so they can “know intentionally and proactively the line you won’t cross,” said Caitlin Sullivan, the founder and CEO of Leading Now, an organization that helps cohorts of superintendents navigate their civic roles. Leaders shouldn’t compromise on anything related to the safety and well-being of children, for example, but they might be more willing to be flexible about things like messaging strategies if it helps the public understand their aims, she said. “We don’t want anyone dying on accidental hills,” Sullivan said. 4. Factor your civic role into your daily routine Many superintendents were drawn to the role by a desire to shape learning and a skill at organizational management, Whorton said. Those leaders may find the political nature of their roles a less natural fit. But it’s important for leaders to acknowledge that political deftness is an increasingly key part of the job and intentionally schedule it into into their days so that it doesn’t feel tacked onto an already crowded list of responsibilities, Whorton said. Superintendents should build time into their calendars to speak with members of the media, troubleshoot problems, and consult with community allies, said Carl Cohn, a former superintendent of the Long Beach, Calif., district and co-leader of the collaborative. Cohn held a regular “cookies with Carl” event where teachers and staff had an open door to come and ask questions or discuss challenges. He also made it a point to be visible at community events so parents and the public felt familiar with the man steering the district through big changes. 5. Put on your own oxygen mask first It can be difficult for superintendents to balance the very urgent work of leading a school system with a need to slow down and engage with people, Cheatham said. As superintendent in Madison, Wis., Cheatham stuck brightly colored sticky dots in ordinary places, like under the door handle to her office, reminding herself to slow down every time she encountered one throughout the day. “The next person who comes into your office deserves for you to show up for them,” Cheatham said. “If people saw me as frantic, that would be deadly for the rest of the system.” 6. Keep your eyes on the local context While national political issues—like President Donald Trump’s pledge to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education—often seem to blot out the sun, parents, students, and teachers are usually more focused on what’s happening in their own classrooms, speakers said. While superintendents must follow, and respond to, the ways state and national decisions affect their systems, they should always focus most on the immediate needs of their communities, Gilmore said. Whatever the status of the federal agency, “today there are kids in classrooms who don’t care about this,” she said. “They care about their experiences in their schools, and we care about leaders within our schools.”

Dive Brief: A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Trump administration can carry out executive orders for now that target diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at higher education institutions and elsewhere. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ unanimous decision lifts a lower court’s preliminary injunction that had blocked major portions of two of President Donald Trump’s directives against diversity programs. Although the appeals court lifted the injunction, the three-judge panel did not determine the legality of the orders. The decision said the appeals court would set an expedited briefing schedule to consider the case. Dive Insight: The decision deals a major blow to the American Association of University Professors and the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, two of the plaintiffs who brought the lawsuit against the Trump administration. They allege that the two orders are unconstitutionally vague and chill speech that Trump opposes — arguments the lower court had said were likely to succeed. On the first day of his second term, Trump signed an order directing federal agencies to “terminate, to the maximum extent allowed by law” the government’s “equity-related” grants, However, the order doesn’t specify what qualifies as “equity-related.” The next day, Trump signed an order seeking to end “illegal DEI.” It tasked each federal agency with identifying up to nine “potential civil compliance investigations” over DEI programs at corporations, foundations, associations or colleges with endowments over $1 billion. It also requires recipients of grants to certify that they don’t promote any DEI programs that violate federal law. But the lawsuit argues that that order did not define key terms, such as “DEI” or “illegal DEI." “President Trump’s history and explicit call to dismantle anything connected to [diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility] presses the question of which ‘programs promoting DEI’ President Trump views as ‘illegal,’” it contends. “If lawful DEI programs are suddenly deemed unlawful by presidential fiat, Plaintiffs must either risk prosecution for making a false claim, or censor promotion of their values.” In late February, U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson, a Biden appointee, temporarily blocked those provisions. The Trump administration quickly appealed, arguing the preliminary injunction relied on a “fundamental misreading” of the orders. The administration asserted that government policies can only be unconstitutionally vague when they impose requirements on citizens — not when the president directs federal officers, either informally through conversations or through executive orders. It further argued that Trump’s executive orders were largely “instructions to his subordinates” and that each contained provisional language limiting their scope. For instance, the administration noted that the order directing agencies to identify potential colleges to investigate specified that this was part of a broader plan to root out DEI programs “that constitute illegal discrimination or preferences.” “All plaintiffs must do is comply with federal law itself — longstanding federal statutes that are not challenged on vagueness grounds or any other,” the Trump administration wrote in its motion to lift the injunction. “Any lack of clarity when DEI runs afoul of those statutes is not attributable to the Executive Order.” Although the appeals court granted the administration’s request to lift the injunction, U.S. Circuit Judge Pamela Harris — an Obama appointee — pointed out in her concurring opinion that what the executive orders say and how the Trump administration enforces them “are two different things.” “Agency enforcement actions that go beyond the Orders’ scope may well raise serious First Amendment and Due Process concerns,” Harris wrote.

In the past two decades, tuberculosis (TB) prevention, testing and treatment services have saved more than 79 million lives – averting approximately 3.65 million deaths last year alone from the world’s deadliest infectious disease. This progress has been driven by critical foreign aid especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly from USAID. However, abrupt funding cuts now threaten to undo these hard-won gains, putting millions – especially the most vulnerable – at grave risk. Based on data reported by national TB programmes to WHO and reporting by the United States of America government to the creditor reporting system of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United States government has provided approximately US$ 200–250 million annually in bilateral funding for the TB response at country level. This funding was approximately one quarter of the total amount of international donor funding for TB. The 2025 funding cuts will have a devastating impact on TB programmes, particularly in LMICs that rely heavily on international aid, given the United States has been the largest bilateral donor. These cuts put 18 of the highest burden countries at risk, as they depended on 89% of the expected United States funding for TB care. The WHO African Region is hardest hit by the funding disruptions, followed by the WHO South-East Asian and Western Pacific Regions. “Any disruption to TB services – whether financial, political or operational – can have devastating and often fatal consequences for millions worldwide,” said Dr Tereza Kasaeva, Director of WHO’s Global Programme on TB and Lung Health. “The COVID-19 pandemic proved this, as service interruptions led to over 700 000 excess deaths from TB between 2020 and 2023, exacerbated by inadequate social protection measures. Without immediate action, hard-won progress in the fight against TB is at risk. Our collective response must be swift, strategic and fully resourced to protect the most vulnerable and maintain momentum toward ending TB.” Mandated by heads of state, WHO plays a crucial leadership role in guiding countries toward the End TB targets for 2027 and 2030. Early reports to WHO from the 30 highest TB-burden countries confirm that funding withdrawals are already dismantling essential services, threatening the global fight against TB. This includes health and community workforce crises with thousands of health workers in high-burden countries facing layoffs, while technical assistance roles have been suspended, crippling national TB programs. Drug supply chains are breaking down due to staff suspensions, lack of funds and data failures, jeopardizing access to TB treatment and prevention services. Laboratory services are severely disrupted, with sample transportation, procurement delays and shortages of essential consumables halting diagnostic efforts. Data and surveillance systems are collapsing, undermining routine reporting and drug resistance monitoring. Community engagement efforts – including active case finding, screening and contact tracing – are deteriorating, reducing early TB detection and increasing transmission risks. Without immediate intervention, these systemic failures will cripple TB prevention and treatment efforts, reverse decades of progress and endanger millions of lives. In addition, USAID, the world's third-largest TB research funder, has halted all its funded trials, severely disrupting progress in TB research and innovation.
KUNMING — For travel enthusiast Miao Pengzhuo, who has explored countless destinations, the idea of settling down in one place never crossed his mind, until he discovered a village in Southwest China's Yunnan province. "Here, the sunsets never lose their magic, and life unfolds in its purest form, drawing me in with an irresistible charm," said Miao, a Sichuan native who has lived for five years in Haiyan, a centuries-old fishing village by Dianchi Lake. The village's rich fishery culture, poetic landscapes and tranquil lifestyle have kept him rooted, replacing his once restless pursuit of new destinations with a deep sense of belonging. Some 600 kilometers away, atop Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er city, engineer Jiang Cheng, from the southern economic powerhouse of Shenzhen, Guangdong province, has also found a sanctuary. Each morning, he opens his laptop in a traditional Blang ethnic village, working against a backdrop of a rolling sea of clouds. The rhythmic tapping of his keyboard blends with the distant melody of tea pickers singing in the fields. Two years ago, he rented an old house to be his base as he worked remotely. Miao and Jiang are among a growing number of travelers choosing to stay longer in Yunnan, immersing themselves in local life rather than rushing from one attraction to another. Industry insiders believe that this shift from whirlwind sightseeing to extended stays reflects a transformation in China's travel consumption. Data shows that in 2024, nearly 4 million long-term travelers settled in Yunnan, drawn by the opportunity to have a slower, more immersive experience in the province's ancient villages and terraced fields. "Long-term stays are not just about travel or residence, they represent a deeper cultural engagement and a way of life," said Dai Bin, president of China Tourism Academy. To meet this growing demand, Yunnan has launched an ambitious three-year initiative that includes establishing at least 3,000 designated villages tailored for travelers seeking wellness retreats, cultural immersion, educational programs and senior-living opportunities. This shift is also revitalizing rural communities, creating new economic opportunities for lesser-known towns. For instance, Yuanjiang county, which lacks any major tourist landmark, attracted 35,000 long-term visitors during this year's Spring Festival — nearly half the population of the county's urban area — thanks to its warm winter climate. For 2025, Yunnan has set an ambitious goal of attracting 6 million long-stay visitors. Xinhua

In today’s volatile educational landscape and rapidly evolving workforce, the journey from 'learner to life' is filled with milestones that present both challenges and opportunities. Each stage of a student’s journey—academic exploration, skill development, career preparation, and early professional success—requires thoughtful, strategic guidance and key durable (soft) skills to navigate effectively. However, without these essential supports, learners often feel isolated and unprepared. "Students grapple with aligning their academic experiences with workforce expectations," reflects Erin Mayhood, CEO of Mentor Collective. "This leaves them unready for the realities of employment." Institutions also face hurdles, operating in silos that limit collaboration among key stakeholders such as student services, career offices, alumni networks, and corporate partnerships. As new graduates enter the workforce, these challenges persist. So, how can we address the complexities of the student lifecycle? The answer is mentorship. "Mentorship is essential for smoothing the challenges throughout the student lifecycle and propelling career-ready students directly into the workforce," says Mayhood. Mentorship fosters the quality of human connection that fills the gaps left by traditional policies and systems, providing stability and durable skill development that allow individuals to thrive during turbulent times. Mentorship plays a critical role in developing durable skills—such as communication, critical thinking, and resilience—that are essential in today’s job market. In fact, an analysis of 80 million job postings from 2020 to 2021 shows that seven of the ten most requested skills are durable, indicating high demand for these soft skills across all sectors. This workforce demand underscores the importance for institutions to prioritize mentorship for their students, helping them become career-ready and future-ready for the challenges they will inevitably face in life. The impact of mentorship is measurable. Mentor Collective has delivered over 1,400 unique mentorship programs, established more than 180 institutional partnerships, and formed over 500,000 mentoring relationships—and that number continues to grow. Here are a few remarkable outcomes from Mentor Collective partners: Retention Success: Students at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay demonstrated a 91% retention rate in mentorship programs compared to 68% of non-mentored peers. Career Readiness: At UNC Greensboro, mentees accessed career resources 308% more frequently than their peers. Internship Opportunities: In partnership with a Fortune 100 technology company, 36% of mentees secured additional internships after participating in mentorship programs. When mentorship is implemented as a strategy to enhance the student journey throughout the entire lifecycle, it leads to significant, measurable impacts that support students in reaching their career goals. Institutions experience increased retention and better resource utilization, while learners’ aspirations align with real-world opportunities. And the truth is… meeting this moment is about more than just mentorship; it’s about empowering the future contributors to our society with the stability, resources, and human connections vital for success. By fostering meaningful relationships, learners can effectively navigate each milestone in their educational journey, equipped with durable skills and a clear understanding of their place in the world as they transition into their careers. Mentorship is the lifeline that bridges gaps and propels individuals into successful futures. It isn’t a ‘nice to have’—it’s a mission-critical advantage essential for transforming lives and strengthening our workforce. And it can illuminate the path to success for countless individuals, creating a lasting impact across our industry.

Dive Brief: New York high school students with autism are building a sense of belonging and community while learning how to navigate college through a mentorship program that pairs them with college-aged peers with autism at New York University. Started as a pilot through the Nest Support Project at NYU — a partnership between the university and New York City Public Schools — the Making Mentors program is supported through a $1.29 million grant from the National Science Foundation and is in its second year. The program’s current cohort consists of 20 mentors and 20 mentees. Each cohort begins in the fall, where selected college students receive extensive training on being good mentors before visiting the high schools to meet with their mentees. Dive Insight: “I really think that by having this opportunity for both the mentors and the mentees, we're changing a dynamic from the autistic student always needing help from someone that is not autistic, or gaining services from someone that's not autistic to an authentic relationship with someone who may see the world similar to the way they do,” said Kristie Patten, the principal investigator for the Nest Program at NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development. Patten added that most programs for students with autism attempt to help them “act less autistic.” Making Mentors, however, aims to shift from that mindset, she said, as it's not about changing behavior but about fostering and building upon students' interests. Mentor and mentee pairs are selected based on mutual interests or what mentees would like to learn. Throughout the year, the pair work on a project that culminates in an end-of-year showcase where they present to their peers. The mentor serves as a guide to support the mentee with whatever their interest is and how they can bring the project to life. The program collects qualitative and quantitative data before and after each cohort year. According to year one data provided by NYU Steinhardt Public Affairs Officer Jade McClain, mentors displayed a 50% increase in their awareness of the college experience, and 25% improved their ability to advocate for themselves. “They are really taking ownership, especially in year two, of their leadership skills,” said Dora Onwumere, the primary research assistant on the project. “I've seen their ability to just articulate and advocate for what they want in the way that they feel is not making anybody feel bad or infringing on anybody, but that is their right.” According to Patten, a crucial part of the Making Mentors program’s success and positive impact was making sure to have an autistic input in all aspects of the planning process. She said the program had a consultant with autism who looked at the training to assess its effectiveness. “When you see it from their lens, you get it. But as a non-autistic individual, it's very hard to get it initially,” said Patten. For schools that may not have formalized mentorship programs like NYU, Patten recommends inviting college students with autism as speakers who can talk about what's helpful to know about applying for and attending college. Onwumere also recommends that schools are informed about what programs and assistance are available to universities and colleges to offer students with autism, and that they teach these students about such resources. “What happens is, in K-12 everything is pretty much handed over to a lot of our students. Autistic students go into the IEP [individualized education program] meeting, and most of the time it's a passive experience,” Onwumere said. “Then you go to college, and guess what?

BALTIMORE — The decision to leave teaching and student support roles for administrator positions can be a difficult one for special educators. But, current and former special education directors say, doing so became easier when they realized they could have positive impacts on both adults and students. "I did it because what happens when you take this job is you begin to have influence in a way that you never anticipated. And a large part of our job is creating the environment in which adults are successful so that kids are successful," said Eric Hoppstock, superintendent of Berrien Regional Education Service Agency in Berrien Springs, Michigan. Hoppstock, who began his career as a school psychologist, said he still keeps the note from his former supervisor promising him that he could have his former position back if he didn't like administration. He said he stayed in administration, however, because the job opened opportunities for different roles and responsibilities that have positive impacts for students. Hoppstock and other administrators shared their career journeys — and advice for aspiring and current administrators — during a March 14 session at the Council for Exceptional Children's convention. Keep the connection to the classroom In order to ensure she spent time in classrooms in the midst of administrative duties, Zabrina Cannady, a former director of student services for Georgia's Houston County School District, said she would block off two hours every week for classroom visits. "Because if it's not on your calendar, it's not going to happen," said Cannady, who is now the director of professional learning for the Council of Administrators of Special Education. "It will keep you focused on the main thing — those kids." Tina Kauffmann, director of exceptional student services at Arizona's Littleton Elementary School District, says she meets with principals at their schools every six weeks. Before those meetings, she'll schedule time to spend in classrooms. On some campuses, she'll conduct "walk and talks" where she and the principal will talk business while walking around the school and between visits to classrooms. Kauffmann, president of the Arizona chapter of CASE, also recommends doing desk work in a classroom and attending school events, such as curriculum nights. "That way you can stay in connection with your families," Kauffmann said. Stay calm and flexible The current downsizing of the U.S. Department of Education and other local, state and national changes in education policies can fuel discourse and add stress and strain to education leaders' roles. The speakers recommended focusing on what can be controlled and prioritizing student needs. "Some of the stuff that's swirling around us is unknown, and so that's where candor comes in," by communicating what you don't know, Hoppstock said. He emphasized that leaders should model calmness as well as flexibility to adjust to change. "There's a lot of things to be nervous about, and that's been true through my entire career. This is just what is in front of us today," Hoppstock said. Cannady said leaders should stay knowledgeable about proposed policy changes but that their work should center on students, families and staff. "You focus on what is under your control, and then remind your staff at all times, we have to look at what we are able to impact. We have to keep the main thing the main thing, and that is serving our students and our families." She also advised leaders to keep in mind that not everyone shares their same philosophies. "People can be respectful of that — that while we might not agree on everything, that's OK. We can disagree, and that's the basis of democracy." Balance work, life and self-care Kindel Mason, director of support services for Twin Falls School District in Idaho, said education administration roles can be stressful, and people can burn out if they don't take care of themselves. Cannady echoed Mason's message about the importance of self-care. "You don't go into this profession because you're self-centered, right?" Cannady said. "We are all helpers. We're servants. And so the person that we tend to not take such good care of is ourselves, because we're so busy taking care of everyone else. You have to be mindful of that." She recommends making time to connect with friends, family and other professionals and to not abandon favorite hobbies. "There's a weekend for a reason, and you need to take time and do not feel guilty about it," Cannady said. Kauffmann said she has a goal of going out to lunch twice a week to socialize with people. She also tries to leave early from the office or come in late once a month. "I try to be very mindful of how I utilize my time so I'm not working 14 hours every day," Kauffmann said. Hoppstock said part of managing his time is about setting expectations for messages. He and his co-workers agreed that there would be no texts after 8 p.m. or before 6 a.m. "Make some agreements with the staff that you supervise how communication will work," he said.

SHANGHAI, March 21 (Xinhua) -- Tesla's new Megafactory in Shanghai in east China on Friday exported its first batch of Megapack energy-storage batteries, the company announced. It took the new Megafactory just over a month after its production launch to achieve its first export, with the batteries being transported from Shanghai Port to Australia. This export highlights Tesla's further expansion in the global energy storage market, and also underlines the extension of its battery technology from electric vehicles to energy storage, according to the company. Megapacks produced at the Shanghai facility will supply both the domestic and Asia-Pacific markets. Megapack is an electrochemical energy storage device that uses lithium batteries -- a dominant technical route in the new-type energy storage industry.
