Cambridge-led study calls for urgent increase in international aid for education to address learning losses and the severe psychological impacts of Gaza war.
Researchers estimate children have lost the equivalent of up to five years of learning since 2020, first due to COVID-19, then war.
Eyewitness accounts gathered for the study also report children’s loss of hope and diminishing faith in values such as peace and human rights.

When is it time to jump? The boiling frog problem of AI use in physics education
American Institute of PhysicsPeer-Reviewed Publication
In The Physics Teacher, a physics professor-turned-AI-researcher explores the uses of generative AI to teach physical science. Gerd Kortemeyer compares the constantly increasing physics capabilities of generative AI to the boiling frog fable, which predicts that a frog will fail to recognize the danger of a gradually heating pot until it’s too late to hop out. Kortemeyer lays out situations where generative AI usage may be warranted and places where it may not help education — and therefore, a “jump out of the pot” is warranted.
