Zimbabwe has made strong commitments to gender equality in education through constitutional provisions, the amended Education Act of 2020, the National Gender Policy of 2025, and the adoption of Gender Responsive Education Sector Planning.

Teachers are central to this transformation, yet most lack…

But after his first semester, he realized that path wasn’t for him. Today, the fourth-year cybersecurity major said working for the FBI is still on his mind—but instead of becoming an agent, he hopes to work in digital forensics.

Student interns have participated in nearly 400 investigations and about…

Soft Skills Training For Neurodiverse Teams: What Needs To Change? Diversity and inclusion have been high on the priority list of organizations in recent years. As a result, it’s not uncommon for them to re-examine how they support neurodiverse employees to help them perform to the best of their abilities. However, while they may be promoting awareness and taking steps to address sensory challenges, soft skills training often doesn’t receive the same amount of attention. In the spirit of World Autism Acceptance Month 2026 and its theme “Every Life Has Value,” we discuss how neurodiverse teams, and individuals with autism…

The team led by Julie Park, a professor of education at the University of Maryland, College Park, and a leading researcher of college admissions, interviewed 57 students, as well as faculty, admissions staff and other stakeholders from two anonymous selective public universities that had test-optional policies when…
