Jimmy Kimmel show to return Tuesday

13 Sept 18:15 Key points summarised by AI

Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show was abruptly suspended last week by ABC following conservative complaints about his comments on the Charlie Kirk shooting and subsequent threats from the FCC regarding broadcasters' licenses.
Kimmel's controversial monologue criticized former President Trump's reaction to Kirk's death and mocked 'the MAGA gang,' leading to the initial backlash and the FCC chairman threatening affiliate licenses.
The suspension sparked outrage among liberal groups and Hollywood figures, who condemned it as government overreach and a threat to free speech, while former President Trump publicly celebrated the show's removal.
Disney announced the show's return on Tuesday after internal discussions, though some major affiliates, including Sinclair Broadcast Group, confirmed they would continue to preempt 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' with local news programming.

Examining Thailand’s four-part education revolution

Today 14:22 Key points summarised by AI

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.
