Questionnaire 2012 Catalonia
This document summarizes the results of a survey given to 144 primary school pupils between the ages of 6 and 12 at Sant Bernat Calbó School in Reus, Spain. The survey was conducted in the fall of 2010 and winter of 2012 and looked at the students' attitudes toward environmental issues, their recycling habits at home and school, and the school's waste management practices. The summary notes that while the students seem to have more knowledge about reducing, reusing and recycling now, their attitudes do not appear to have significantly improved. It also finds that the school recycles more paper, cardboard and packaging now but still has work to do to be more environmentally friendly.
Questionnaire 2012 slovenia
The questionnaire was answered by 556 students from OŠ 8 talcev Logatec school in Slovenia. It assessed students' attitudes toward the environment, recycling habits, and the school's sustainable energy and waste management practices. Most students reported caring about environmental problems and nature. Recycling rates were higher at school than home, though returnable bottles and metal recycling could improve. From 2010 to 2012, the school reduced energy used for heating and copies made per student. Further efforts are needed to save water and electricity.
Questionnaire 2012 lithuania
This document appears to be a survey conducted at the Kaunas Vanda Tumeniene rehabilitation centre school in January 2012 that assessed students' attitudes and behaviors related to environmental issues. The survey found that most students care about the environment and nature, and many take actions like recycling at home and school. While recycling of some materials like paper and organic waste is common, recycling of other materials like batteries, metal, and clothes is less frequent. The survey also examined the school's waste management and efforts to save energy, water, and materials. It found that while the school encourages recycling, it could improve by providing more specific containers for different waste types and better communicating recycling procedures.

They found the school consumed over 92,000 liters of water and 122 million kWh of energy per year, costing nearly €180,000. While the school has solar panels and is a new building, weaknesses included lack of insulation, natural light, and temperature control. Students proposed improvements like installing window covers, using natural light more, and implementing zone heating to regulate temperatures room by room. The goal was to increase environmental awareness and make the school greener.

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
