The 9/11 attacks continue to profoundly shape global politics, US security measures, and international perceptions more than two decades later.
Despite mainstream media silence, the persistent 'Truth Movement' challenging the official 9/11 narrative is reportedly gaining silent traction online, fueled by detailed, controversial claims.
The article contends that the US government's 'no comment' policy on these allegations fosters doubt and erodes global trust, particularly as international skepticism towards America grows.
It urges the White House to unequivocally and publicly address the 'truthers'' specific questions and claims, rather than merely dismissing them as debunked, to restore credibility and prevent further erosion of trust.
Thailand's Education Ministry is implementing a four-pronged strategy to address its students' below-average performance in PISA 2025 and tackle significant educational inequality.
The plan prioritizes closing performance gaps by increasing funding for small and low-income schools, overhauling the curriculum to foster critical thinking, and adopting a data-driven management system to reduce teacher workload.
Key initiatives include enhancing school safety, combating cyberbullying, and expanding mental health support through peer-to-peer networks, recognizing the severe impact of distress on academic performance.
An education expert advises verifying if PISA improvements stem from structural changes, advocating for a revived STEM curriculum with practical 'learn by doing' methods, and urging bureaucratic reform to link teacher evaluations to student development.
