The event connected community members with local providers for health screenings, education and prevention resources. 

Researchers found more than 40% of elementary school children who experienced bullying showed trauma symptoms, highlighting a major child mental health concern.

History education standards were originally meant to ensure students received the highest quality history education possible. But they have become part of the culture wars, with politicans sometimes writing standards line by line, Stephen Jackson of the University of Kansas argues in a new study. There is little evidence the standards have improved education and complicated matters for teachers, Jackson argues, therefore a "standards minimalism" approach, like that taken in Kansas and Maine's standards could give educators the support they need to teach students and avoid politicization.

A new study introduces the first step-by-step methodological guide for conducting umbrella reviews in education, addressing a major gap in evidence synthesis. Combining theory with a real case study on digital diaries, the publication supports novice researchers and strengthens evidence-based decision-making in education by offering a clear, structured, and field-specific approach to advanced research synthesis. It highlights the relevance, originality, and value of umbrella reviews for producing comprehensive, policy-relevant insights, while identifying key research gaps and advancing methodological rigor in educational research.

Study finds that pressure from parents can raise different kinds of perceived cost, with some tied more closely to burnout and others to achievement.

The dominant Anglo-American Research University model has long been criticized for failing to address contemporary global challenges. A new study by researchers from Southern University of Science and Technology and The University of Hong Kong revisits Confucius’ dual imaginaries—the ideal man (Junzi) and the ideal social order (Tianxia)—to propose a reimagined framework for higher education. The study argues that Confucius’ ideals offer a relational, contextual, and internally driven alternative to prevailing neo-liberal models.

A new study published in Nature Communications  finds that world-wide, people with higher levels of education are more culturally similar to those in Canada, the U.S. U.K. and other Anglo, industrialized countries and countries in Western Europe. Analyzing data from nearly 270,000 people across 95 countries captured in the World Values Survey, the study shows that higher education is strongly associated with cultural values typical of so-called “WEIRD” societies (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic). The researchers emphasize that the findings do not suggest that highly-educated people in non-Western countries are culturally the same as those in the West, and point to the need to recruit more broadly than just university students and educated people when doing cross-cultural research.
