Teaching pupils about [/news/climate_change_global_warming/index.html climate change] without a grounding in science could leave them with 'no real understanding' of the issue and become a 'morality tale or something quasi-religious', an Ofsted chief inspector has warned. Amanda Spielman said it was important' students had a grounded understanding of the issue within the wider body of learning in order for them to make rational decisions rather than just taking emotional positions. She added that the pressure on schools to teach more on the curriculum was growing, as schools were seen as 'the go-to solution' by advocates who often launch petitions and social media campaigns. Speaking at the launch of [http://imgur.com/hot?q=Ofsted%27s%20annual Ofsted's annual] report today, Ms Spielman said climate change activists - who have called for new qualifications or alterations to the curriculum - can 'forget the importance of grounding climate change within the wider body of learning' about science and geography. Ofsted chief inspector Amanda Spielman said it was important schools teach the topic of climate change with a grounding in science and geography. (Stock image) 'They don't always notice how much schools already do in this space,' the chief inspector said. On teaching climate change in schools, she said: 'I think if it is not grounded in science there is no real understanding underneath it, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour chùa yên tử] it becomes a morality tale or something quasi-religious. 'It is really important that people have a grounded understanding so that they can think about that in the context of career choices and in the context of their own personal behaviour. That helps people take rational decisions, not just emotional positions.' Ms Spielman added there had been a rise in efforts to 'commandeer schools and the curriculum in support of worthy social issues' - including environmental causes and campaigns against racism.

Asked whether she believed more should be done to make pupils feel represented through a more diverse curriculum, Ms Spielman added: 'I think my message would be don't revise the curriculum in the context of a single issue or purpose - make sure that periodic reviews take all purposes into account.' The annual report from Ofsted warned that in a [http://www.dict.cc/?s=minority minority] of secondary schools, not all children were receiving a full and appropriate curriculum due to narrowing or misalignment. Ms Spielman (pictured) added that there was growing pressure on schools to teach more on the curriculum Some inspectors found that a large number of pupils were being encouraged into courses (often for GCSE-equivalent qualifications) in which they were likely to earn high grades, but that were unlikely to help them progress in pathways that suited their talents and interests. The report also highlighted that primary schools judged as requiring improvement had focused extensively on teaching reading, writing and maths 'at the expense of other subjects'. Ms Spielman said she did not expect graded inspections to resume in January, adding that an announcement from the Government was due 'very soon'. The chief inspector raised concerns about the 'invisibility' of vulnerable children as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic She said their attendance remained 'stubbornly low' and the number of child protection referrals made to councils had still not reached pre-Covid levels. The report also warned of 'lasting harm' to children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) after they lost access to additional support and healthcare during the first national lockdown. Local authorities are now more likely to be responding to 'a legacy of abuse and neglect' after local safeguarding partners struggled to identify families in need of early support and protection amid the pandemic, it said. A Department for Education (DfE) spokeswoman said: 'The safety and wellbeing of the most vulnerable children has always been our focus, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour yên tử] which is why we kept nurseries, schools and colleges open for those children throughout the pandemic. 'We all owe a debt of gratitude to the teachers and support workers who have gone above and beyond to support vulnerable children since national restrictions were first introduced. 'It remains a national priority to keep full-time education open for all.' During the virtual launch, Ms Speilman also said a shift to online learning had helped schools when they were shut earlier this year but warned it 'can only ever be a partial solution to ensuring a good quality of education'. In their report, Ofsted said: 'Many children lost not just a term's education, but also the consolidation of what they were taught in previous years. 'While we do not yet have reliable evidence on 'learning loss' from the pandemic, it is likely that losses have been significant and will be reflected in widening attainment gaps.'

The US has reported its biggest daily [/news/coronavirus/index.html Covid-19] death toll since May as a record number of people are currently hospitalized with the virus. The figures published by the Covid Tracking Project showed 2,473 deaths and 99,000 hospitalizations in their latest update. There were also 1.3million tests carried out across the country with 177,000 cases, they announced. The previous highest daily death toll was May 7 with 2,769 fatalities. The US has reported its single biggest Covid-19 death spike since the start of the pandemic The figures have been affected by the delay in reporting due to [/news/thanksgiving/index.html Thanksgiving]. The Covid Tracking Project clarified: [http://www.answers.com/topic/%27A%20handful 'A handful] of states reported data for more than one day today, a result of data disruptions caused by the Thanksgiving holiday.

But it has left many Americans wondering why they must wait at least a week for FDA approval for US firm Pfizer's coronavirus jab. Regulators are not due to meet until December 10 and are coming under fire for not moving faster in approving the jabs. The US is still at least a week away from a vaccine being rolled out despite Britain approving the Pfizer jab on Wednesday President Donald Trump and his deputies are privately admonishing FDA officials for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour yên tử ba vàng] not moving faster to authorize promising coronavirus vaccines — a push partially motivated by Trump's desire to claim credit for record-fast vaccine development. HHS Secretary Alex Azar and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows grilled Commissioner Stephen Hahn and other top FDA officials in meetings this week on their decisions to require more rigorous review of initial data from the first vaccine candidates questioning why the agency won't authorize a vaccine until after December 10 at the earliest. Last month Pfizer reported that its shot was more than 90 percent effective, and Moderna announced similarly impressive findings for its jab. Multiple Trump appointees and even some career civil servants have argued that every day of delay could make a difference for the most vulnerable populations in a life-threatening pandemic. Dr Stephen Hahn, the commissioner of the FDA, was summoned to the White House on Tuesday to explain why it was taking so long for vaccines to be approved White House officials are known to be angry as having the West's first authorized vaccine was as a key element of Trump's legacy. "It's crazy to imagine the European Union or U.K. may approve a vaccine developed in the United States before us though, right?" said a senior official involved in the process.

Dr Stephen Hahn, the commissioner of the FDA, was summoned to the White House on Tuesday to explain why it was taking so long for vaccines to be approved. The FDA's approval process is considered more stringent than Britain's because it analyzes the company's raw data for the testing. Speculation has grown that Trump would intervene and fire Dr Hahn if the process didn't move quicker British regulators gave the green light to start mass vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNTech doses which had been produced by a US firm.

British regulators, like EU regulators, rely more on the drug companies' own analysis of their data but can verify the accuracy of these reports. Dr Hahn told ABC News: 'FDA is one of the few regulatory agencies in the world that actually looks at the raw data. We are going to do our own analysis.' Speculation has grown that Trump would intervene and fire Dr Hahn if the process didn't move quicker.

Jones is moving up a division having vacated his light-heavyweight title and is targeting a massive showdown against Stipe Miocic. Blaydes was supposed to take on Derrick Lewis last Saturday but tested positive for [/news/coronavirus/index.html coronavirus], meaning the match-up was cancelled. Jon Jones has vacated his light-heavyweight title and is moving up to heavyweight A fight with Curtis Blaydes (right) would make 'all the sense in the world', says Daniel Cormier Cormier believes it would now work in 'Bones'' favour to meet Blaydes first to get used to life at heavyweight. 'Jones needs a heavyweight fight. I say move Blaydes to Jones. … It makes all the sense in the world,' he said on ESPN's DC & Helwani show. '(If) Jones beats Blaydes, nobody will ever say he doesn't belong at heavyweight. (If) Blaydes beats Jones, now he has beaten the greatest of all time - in people's minds - going up to heavyweight. He'll get his title shot right away.' Blaydes himself had discussed the possibility of fighting Jones prior to the cancelled fight with Lewis.

Jones is looking to enhance his legacy having dominated light-heavyweight for so long 'I think that a lot of people forget that we get paid what we get paid regardless of who the opponent is. So I don't need to fight Jon Jones to make my 200k. I can fight a bum and make 200k.

So it seems Blaydes would play hardball in negotiations with the UFC if they were to schedule a fight with Jones. It also remains to be seen if 'Bones' would be interested or if he only has eyes for the championship belt.
