TIE NEWSLETTER

30 March 2022

As we continue to come together to support Ukraine, we are reminded of the many regions of the world in prolonged conflict and crisis. TIE will continue to share updates on the #StandWithUkraine page, including a new message from Rachel Caldwell at PSI, Kyiv. In addition, we encourage reflections and updates from schools across the world on the situations in their countries. Please continue to share information, pool resources, and network in any way possible to support our international school community.

The world is reacting to the war in Ukraine in an unprecedented manner. Moral condemnation, political outrage and commercial isolation of Russia is overwhelming (though not yet unanimous; and there are disturbing questions to ask about why this conflict is being treated differently to, say, the conflicts in Yemen, South Sudan, Ethiopia, or Nigeria)... more

So two Mondays ago, the French government dropped the mandatory mask wearing for students and teachers inside and outside of the school buildings.
