- (8/8) Study: Student Learning Decreased in Math, Reading Worldwide
- AUDIO Study: Student Learning Decreased in Math, Reading Worldwide Students around the world suffered historic setbacks in reading and math during the COVID-19 pandemic. That information comes from results of the latest Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). The PISA is an international comparative study of the scores of 15-year-old students on tests in reading, math and science. Nearly 700,000 students took part in the study. PISA is administered every three years. The latest results showed an “unprecedented ｄrop in performance” since 2018. The PISA 2022 study was supposed to happen in 2021. But it was postponed because of the pandemic. The 2022 results were released on December 5. It is the first extensive study with data on how the pandemic has affected student performance around the world. The study looked at 81 education systems. They include 37 member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). OECD has been administering the test since 2000. Decreasing scores The study found decreasing test scores in both rich and poor countries. Andreas Schleicher is the director for education and skills at OECD. He said, “The world is no longer divided between rich and well-educated countries and poor and badly educated countries.” The study found the average international math score fell by 15 points since 2018. Reading scores across participating countries fell by 10 points. The OECD considers 20 points to be equal to one year of learning. Scores did not change in a major way in science. Albania saw the biggest decrease in math scores, with a massive 69-point decrease. That means Albanian students lost more than three years of learning. Many countries fell by more than one year’s worth of learning in math, including Germany, Iceland and the Netherlands. Some Good News Four places did improve their performance between PISA 2018 and 2022 in all three subjects: Brunei, Cambodia, the Dominican Republic and Taiwan. Six East Asian education systems outperformed all other countries in math. Scores in Singapore were measurably higher than all other countries in all three subjects. The math scores for U.S. students were about even with the international average. Science and reading were slightly higher. Effects of the pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic was a major reason for the worldwide score ｄrops. But science and reading scores were ｄropping even before the pandemic. This suggests there are other reasons for the decrease. Factors such as the level of investment in education, the social value and pay levels of teachers, and educational beliefs of students have all influenced educational results, the OECD’s Schleicher said. Purpose of PISA The PISA tests explore how well students can solve complex problems, think critically and communicate effectively. The goal of PISA is to provide useful information to educators and policymakers on the strengths and weaknesses of their country’s education system. OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann released the latest PISA results in Paris. He said, “PISA 2022 helps to identify the comparative strengths of education systems that have performed well despite recent shocks.” Policymakers can use such information to consider reforms to education systems for a brighter, more financially successful future, Cormann added. The study also reported on the fast-changing influence of technology on educational performance. The results found that moderate use of electronic devices in school is connected to higher performance. Test your skills Khan Academy is a popular test prep web site. It offers a free PISA quiz. You can see example questions and compare your math skills against the 15-year-old students from around the world who took the PISA 2022. ___________________________________ Words in This Story setback–n. an event that delays progress score–n. a piece of information, usually a number, that demonstrates the performance level of a skill participating–adj. taking part in factor–n. something that contributes to a result despite—prep. without being affected by quiz–n. a short, informal quiz https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/study-student-learning-decreased-in-math-reading-worldwide-/7387144.html

- (8/7) US Schools Use Money, Fun, Support to Get Students to Class
- AUDIO US Schools Use Money, Fun, Support to Get Students to Class Flerentin Jean-Baptiste missed school so often that he had to repeat his first year at Medford High School near Boston. Jean-Baptiste said, at school, "You do the same thing every day." He was absent 30 days in his first year. Then the principal of the school did something different: She let students play organized sports during lunch — if they attended all their classes. In other words, she offered high school students a play period that is usually part of the school day for young children. "It gave me something to look forward to," said 16-year-old Jean-Baptiste. The following year, he cut his absences in half. Schoolwide, the share of regularly absent students ｄropped from 35 percent in March 2023 to 23 percent in March 2024. That was one of the biggest reductions among Massachusetts high schools. The Associated Press and Stanford University economist Thomas Dee have studied attendance numbers from 42 states and Washington, D.C. They found that years after the school closings from the COVID-19 pandemic, schools in nearly every state are still struggling with attendance. About one in four students in the 2022-23 school year were chronically absent. That means they missed at least 10 percent of the school year. That number represents about 12 million children in states reporting numbers of absent students. Before the pandemic, only 15 percent of students missed school that often. After spending as much as a year at home during the pandemic, many children see school as more than they can handle, uninteresting or socially stressful. Some children and parents are deciding it is no problem to stay home. That makes completing class work even harder. In all but one state, Arkansas, absence rates remain higher than they were before the pandemic. Still, the problem appears to have passed its highest point; almost every state saw absenteeism go down at least a little during the two full school years ending in 2023. Schools are trying to identify students with attendance problems so they can help. They are also trying to communicate better with parents. Some parents might not know their child is missing a lot of school or its effects on their performance. Experts say schools must get creative to meet their students' needs. Pay money or care about students In Oakland, California, chronic absenteeism in public schools sharply rose from 29 percent before the pandemic to 53 percent during the 2022-23 school year. Officials asked students what would make them want to come to class. They answered, money and a mentor. In spring 2023, the Oakland school district received a grant to pay 45 students $50 weekly to attend school every day. Sixty percent of those in the program improved their attendance. Zaia Vera is the district's head of social-emotional learning. Vera said paying students cannot continue for a long time, but many absent students lacked dependable housing or were helping to support their families. "The money is the hook that got them in the door." A caring teacher made a difference for 18-year-old Golden Tachiquin. She completed her studies at Oakland's Skyline High School this spring. Coming back to school after the pandemic, she felt lost and anxious. She later realized these feelings made her feel physically sick. She was absent at least 25 days that year. One Afro-Latina teacher seemed to understand her culturally and made Tachiquin feel she belonged in class. Tachiquin already received good grades. In Massachusetts, Medford High School requires administrators to welcome and talk with students each morning, especially those who miss a lot of class. But playtime at lunch has had the greatest effect on improved attendance, Principal Marta Cabral said. High school students need freedom and a chance to move their bodies, she said. "They're here for seven hours a day. They should have a little fun." Long-term problems Many of the reasons given for students missing school early in the pandemic are still in place. They include financial difficulty, transportation problems, mild illness and mental health struggles. For example, a study from the University of Southern California said parents reported that almost one fourth of chronically absent students had emotional or behavioral problems, compared with just seven percent of those with good attendance. At Fresno's Fort Miller Middle School, half of the students were chronically absent. Two reasons kept coming up: dirty clothing and no transportation. The school bought a washer and dryer for families to use. It also provided a vehicle to pick up students who missed the bus. Fresno's chronic absenteeism improved to 35 percent during the school year ending in 2023. Fourteen-year-old Melinda Gonzalez missed the school bus about once a week. So, she called for rides from the school vehicle. "I don't have a car; my parents couldn't drive me to school," Gonzalez said. "Getting that ride made a big difference." ______________________________________________ Words in This Story absent – adj. not present at a usual or expected place chronically – adv. in a way that is continuing or occurring again and again for a long time stressful – adj. making you feel worried or anxious mentor – n. someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person grant –n. an amount of money from a government or organization meant for a specific purpose and which does not have to be repaid hook – n. something (such as part of a song) that attracts people's attention anxious – adj. afraid or nervous especially about what may happen https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/us-schools-use-money-fun-support-to-get-students-to-class/7749273.html

- (8/6) 70 Years after Brown Decision, School Segregation Getting Worse
- AUDIO 70 Years after Brown Decision, School Segregation Getting Worse May 17 marked the 70th anniversary of one of the most notable cases in U.S. Supreme Court history – Brown versus Board of Education. The 1954 decision declared segregated schools unconstitutional. It also struck down the principle of “separate but equal,” which was used as the basis for U.S. government policies related to racial segregation. President Dwight Eisenhower famously sent federal troops to southern states to enforce the decision. Today, American schools cannot legally restrict students based on race. But because of long-held economic divides and other issues, some schools have become segregated in a de facto way. ‘Moving backward’ Some researchers say that despite the continuing ban, school segregation has gotten worse over the years, even as the U.S. overall has become more racially diverse. A team from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) recently released a report examining the ways segregation has changed in U.S. schools. The report is called “The Unfinished Battle for Integration in a Multiracial America – from Brown to Now.” It was written by two UCLA professors – Gary Orfield and Ryan Pfleger. The study found that schools have gotten less white, and more Latino, Asian and multiracial. But it also noted the number of schools considered “intensely segregated” tripled from 1988 to 2021. The study defined intensely segregated as schools with white student populations of less than 10 percent. About 20 percent of American schools are intensely segregated, up from 7 percent in 1988, the report found. The study’s writers state that “schools of the South are dramatically less segregated than the apartheid conditions that had always existed before Brown.” However, Orfield and Pfleger add that the Supreme Court decision’s historic aims “have not been attained and, as this report shows, we have been moving backward.” The researchers found that Black and Latino students were the most highly segregated populations. In 2021, schools overall were 45 percent mostly white. But on average, Black students attended schools that were about 76 percent non-white. For Latino students, the school average was about 75 percent non-white. Education experts say segregation especially hurts Black and Latino schools. This is because they are often underfunded and have higher rates of teacher shortages. Non-white school districts receive $23 billion less funding than mostly white school districts, a 2019 report by the nonprofit group EdBuild found. “The trends are toward increasing double segregation, by both race or ethnicity and poverty,” the UCLA study said. Researchers at another California university, Stanford, found that schools are getting more segregated even as neighborhoods have gotten more diverse and racial economic inequality has improved. The “findings indicate that policy choices – not demographic changes – are driving the increase,” said Sean Reardon. He is a professor at Stanford who specializes in how poverty and inequality affects education. Reintegrating Schools The UCLA study noted that desegregation policies following the Brown decision were generally aimed at improving access to schools for Black students. But 70 years later, the issue of school segregation has gotten more complex. Latinos now make up the largest U.S. minority group and the Asian population has also grown. “Most Americans of all racial groups think integrated schools are better, but are divided about what, if anything, to actually do,” the UCLA study states. The researchers offered several suggestions for improving integration. One is for districts to increase efforts to register students from poorer areas and offer more diverse school programs. A 2018 article by the nonprofit group Edutopia described how some school districts have been successful in improving integration. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, for example, every school must have a balance of wealthier and poorer families. In San Antonio, Texas, bilingual schools and other specialized programs have brought in students from many different backgrounds. And in New York City, schools have made progress by removing standardized testing requirements. Others introduced admittance systems that take into account whether a student is poor, homeless or a non-native English speaker. “American schools have been moving away from the goal of Brown and creating more ‘inherently unequal’ schools for a third of a century,” writers of the UCLA study wrote. “It will soon become understood once more that … schools that serve all children together with equity are central to any good outcomes.” _______________________________________________ Words in This Story segregate — v. to separate groups of people because of their particular race, religion, etc. de facto — adj. used to describe something that exists but that is not officially accepted or recognized diverse — adj. different from each other dramatic — n. sudden and extreme apartheid — n. a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race. attain — v. to accomplish or achieve demographic — n. the qualities of a specific group of people access — n. a way of getting near, at, or to something or someone integrate — v. to combine to form or create something inherent — adj. belonging to the basic nature of someone or something https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/years-after-brown-decision-school-segregation-getting-worse/7628984.html

- [8/8] 布袋戏在台湾：跨越海峡 薪火相传
- 夏日午后，一场专为儿童打造的布袋戏《原来你伫咧》在台湾传统艺术中心上演。掌中戏偶灵动跳跃，台下孩子们目不转睛。这部作品融合亲情教育与“古今穿越”剧情，借由一段段对话，引发关于成长与爱的思考。 《原来你伫咧》闽南语意为“原来你在”，由来自台湾嘉义的五洲胜义阁掌中剧团演出。团长曾嘉民向中新社记者介绍说：“我们特别加入动物角色、现代对白等元素，希望让小朋友觉得布袋戏不仅好看，还很好玩。” 6月23日，专为儿童打造的布袋戏作品在台湾传统艺术中心登场。中新社记者 张晓曦 摄 作为中华传统偶戏的重要组成部分，布袋戏起源于17世纪的福建，在闽南和潮汕地区广为流传，传入台湾地区后，早期与庙口文化紧密相连，常在酬神、谢神等祭典中演出，是当时较为普遍的娱乐形式。 在20世纪，布袋戏演出风尚有几次更迭。据台北木偶剧团主演吴声杰介绍，四五十年代，布袋戏开启“内台布袋戏”阶段，转为售票演出。彼时的代表性人物、台湾布袋戏大师李天禄参考大陆京剧，重视剧本结构与艺术表现，颇受民众欢迎。七十年代，另一位台湾布袋戏大师黄俊雄，把结合声、光等道具的金光布袋戏搬上荧屏，风靡一时。 2024年11月3日，陈锡煌掌艺薪传大师工作坊成果发表会在台北霞海城隍庙庙口举行，多位学员展示学习布袋戏的成果，吸引不少观众。 中新社记者 陈小愿 摄 当下两岸观众最为熟知的是上世纪80年代走红的霹雳布袋戏，由黄俊雄儿子黄文择、黄强华开创发行，其中武侠小说式的叙事、快节奏的剪辑、精致戏偶与声光特效等受到年轻人喜爱。 在大陆哔哩哔哩等影视平台，霹雳布袋戏拥趸众多，素还真、叶小钗、一页书等虚拟角色被观众誉为“霹雳三台柱”。爱好者间互称“道友”，不仅对剧目如数家珍，还把拍摄花絮、剧情解析“盘包浆”。不少网友说，最开始追霹雳，后来追金光、庙口，“连闽南语都学会了”。 “很幸福的是，庙口传统、内台与电视布袋戏都仍在台湾制作、演出，各有受众群体，持续发展。”吴声杰说。 但是，不少台湾从业者认为，尽管本地观众对布袋戏接受度高，但随着儿童更多接触动画、游戏等媒介，加上台湾社会面临“少子化”问题，传统戏曲传承面临挑战。 “我们很重视孩子的观演体验，因为他们将是未来愿意买票的观众。”吴声杰表示，他参与许多面向校园、青少年的演出与教学推广，希望在孩子心中种下布袋戏的“文化种子”。 图为台北木偶剧团主演吴声杰展示布袋戏戏偶。中新社记者 张晓曦 摄 近年来，台湾各地剧团不断创新演出形式。有的结合布袋戏与数字投影、增强现实(AR)技术，打造沉浸式观剧体验；有的推出布袋戏主题展览、偶头彩绘、操偶体验课程，让观众“看得到、摸得到、玩得到”。 台湾布袋戏与大陆木偶戏同源共脉，如今在操偶方式、艺术风格上形成各自特色。台湾布袋戏以“掌中戏”为核心，操偶者手掌直接伸入戏偶腹腔操控，动作细腻写实；大陆木偶戏则品类丰富，如泉州提线木偶以丝线牵引见长，注重写意动作与传统程式。台湾布袋戏与泉州、漳州的布袋戏一脉相承，很多表演内容至今仍具相似性。 霹雳布袋戏也应邀多次参与大陆动漫嘉年华等活动。霹雳国际多媒体有限公司董事长黄强华表示，公司不仅打造原创剧集，还将布袋戏经营拓展至出版、游戏、玩具、主题乐园等领域，推动角色“IP化”。 方寸戏台藏乾坤，一掌木偶演春秋。这份跨越海峡的艺术薪火，正点亮新一代的文化想象。 https://www.chinanews.com.cn/gn/2025/07-30/10455914.shtml

- [8/7]全力应对强降雨 北京密云争分夺秒抢通多条险情断路
- ※ mp3 파일 참고 : "LINK" 링크 클릭해주시면 mp3 포함되어 있습니다 :) 北京市密云区白河大桥，白河、白马关河在附近汇入密云水库，这里设有卡点。白河大桥往北，只允许抢险车辆前进。记者跟随密云区抢险人员抢通道路，十多公里的山路上，掉落的石块被推到路边，一些路段被标记绕行。直到冯家峪镇西庄子村，由于道路损毁严重，车辆无法继续前行。记者看到工作人员正在抢修水毁路基，运送石料的大型渣土车排起长龙，等待将石料倾倒在损毁路段。 运送石料的货车一辆接一辆（记者任梦岩 摄） 兴阳线，也就是国道234线该路段的路基被严重冲毁，负责抢修的北京建工养护集团第四公路工程处工作人员李兴介绍，过了这段被冲毁的路，向北可以前往冯家峪镇政府、向南连通不老屯镇政府，这两个镇都受灾较为严重，但想要把路修过去，难度不小。 兴阳线路基垮塌修复现场（记者任梦岩 摄） 李兴说：“上班这么多年，我这是第一次，一点一点地边干边往前摸索。就是用普通的片石，往这里倒，河水这么急，用片石可以让它基础更稳固。” 记者提问：“未来可能还会下雨，会不会对你们有影响？” 李兴表示：“水少一点，我们修的也快一点，水这么大，填下去的料可能被冲走。” 记者追问：“需要多少车石块才能填好？” 李兴回答：“我们抢险的机械先过去，后期我们还得加宽，让里边撤离的老百姓，还有社会车辆也能通行。咱们的车能过去，（要倒）200多车差不多，后期加固还得再需要200多车。” 根据前方勘探，此处路段再向北1.5公里，道路抢通困难更大。 李兴说：“前面还有好几条路断了，比这个还严重，能观测到的有4个损毁点位，有的比这个还要长。” 北京建工养护集团第四公路工程处副经理陈子建介绍，西庄子村再走3公里就能到冯家峪镇，但由于无法多个水毁点同时施工，只能将所有力量都投入到最近的抢修点，连夜抢险。 陈子建介绍：“一定要拿机械往前开路，先抢通再加宽，最后让它成型，争取能过大车，我要把吊车能拉进去，往前到1.5公里那儿，像这样的车我今天连夜要调进去十七八台，然后白天把前头那一公里争取弄出水面，这样的话，人就能出来了，然后争取再过一天让车能走，然后一公里就到镇政府了。” 路基垮塌处（记者任梦岩 摄） 北京市交通委员会密云公路分局副局长付杭菊介绍，在密云境内，白河、潮河、白马关河等河流从燕山流出汇入密云水库，由于26日晚降水过大，水位暴涨，使得路基距河更近、平时流量较小的白马关河沿线道路受灾最为严重。 付杭菊介绍：“密云现在已经管控的路况一共是14条，其中有7条是我们主动管控的，有7条是被动管控的。被动管控就是因为它有塌方，有路基损毁、空洞，有淤泥，有的淤泥深30公分，都走不了车。” 兴阳线旁的白马关河水位暴涨（记者任梦岩 摄） 付杭菊告诉记者，目前他们已经投入100多台机械、200多人全力抢修主要水毁路段，但一些路段水毁过于严重，抢通还需要时间。 付杭菊表示：“在我们修复的地方，有200多个工人，100多台套机器正在工作，但是有的路基全部损毁的，河水流量比较大，流速比较快，几百米路基都没有了，这些路我们正在等着专家一块研判具体的修复方案。” 由于道路尚未抢通，装载卫星通信设备的抢险车辆同样无法驶入，受灾较为严重的冯家峪镇此前已通过卫星电话与各村庄建立联系，但移动公网信号仍处于中断状态。27日晚7点，中国移动北京公司派出无人机飞往受灾较严重的村庄提供通信服务。这款无人机利用卫星传输来操控飞行，基站配备了大功率集束天线，最大覆盖范围3公里，能最多同时为200名用户提供通信服务。在无人机滞空期间，当地群众会收到相关提醒短信，前期因信号问题无法与外界联系的居民，可以及时向亲友报平安。 https://china.cnr.cn/gdgg/20250728/t20250728_527286461.shtml

- 「8/7」日本人の平均寿命 女性は87.13歳で40年連続1位 男性81.09歳
- 去年の日本人の平均寿命は女性が87.13歳、男性が81.09歳で、女性は平均寿命が公表されている国の中で40年連続で1位となりました。 厚生労働省によりますと、去年の日本人の平均寿命は ▽女性が87.13歳 ▽男性が81.09歳で 前の年と比べて ▽女性は0.01歳下回り ▽男性は同じでした。 平均寿命が公表されている国の中では ▽女性は40年連続で1位となり ▽男性は、スウェーデンやスイス、ノルウェーなどに次いで6位でした。 平均寿命は新型コロナに感染して亡くなる人が増加したことから縮まる傾向にありましたが、おととし、男性と女性いずれも3年ぶりに前の年を上回っていました。 おととしと去年の平均寿命の差を死因別に分析すると ▽心筋梗塞などの心疾患で亡くなった人が減少した一方 ▽老衰で亡くなった人は増加したということです。 厚生労働省は「平均寿命は前の年と比べると、おおむね横ばいだったが、長期的には生活環境や医療水準、国民の健康意識の高まりなどで延びる傾向にあると思われる」としています。

- 「8/6」2030年に訪日外国人旅行者6000万人へ 首相 計画取りまとめ指示
- 日本を訪れる外国人旅行者が過去最多を更新する中、石破総理大臣は、2030年に外国人旅行者の数を6000万人に増やす目標の達成に向けて新たな計画を取りまとめるよう関係閣僚に指示しました。 総理大臣官邸で開かれた関係閣僚会議には、石破総理大臣や中野国土交通大臣などが出席しました。 この中で、石破総理大臣は「観光は地方の根幹的な産業であり、若者も女性も活躍できる『地方創生2.0』の切り札だ。官民一丸となり観光戦略を強力に進めてほしい」と述べ、2030年に日本を訪れる外国人旅行者の数を6000万人に、消費額を15兆円に増やす目標の達成に向けて、来年度末までに新たな計画を取りまとめるよう指示しました。 去年1年間の外国人旅行者は3686万人余りとコロナ禍前を上回って過去最多を更新しましたが、宿泊先の7割が三大都市圏に集中するなどさらなる受け入れについては課題も指摘されています。 このため、計画の策定にあたっては、地方観光の魅力向上や空港や2次交通も含めた受け入れ環境の整備、オーバーツーリズムの未然防止の対策などについて検討が行われる見通しです。
