Email Mistake Exposes Dark Trump Plan on Child Welfare Programs
The Department of Health and Human Services plans to end research into how to improve child welfare programs like Head Start, according to an email mistakenly sent by an HHS employee to grant recipients. The email contained a spreadsheet listing 150 research projects on HHS's chopping block, including grants funded by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation. The office's mission is to build 'evidence to improve lives' by helping to examine programs helping low-income children and families. Other research grants under consideration for termination are related to child care policy, child development, foster care, preventing child abuse, and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Over 50 universities were listed as having their grants terminated in the document, with state agencies and nonprofits also at risk of losing funding. The possible cancellation of these grants comes after HHS already made heavy cuts to its Administration for Children and Families, which is closing five regional offices and fired hundreds of employees last month. In January, the office had 2,400 employees, and now it's down to just 1,500. Head Start, which provides preschool and other education services for low-income children, was one of the first programs to be hit by the Trump administration's federal funding freeze in February, which later ran into legal trouble. The White House then weakened the program with mass layoffs, and earlier this month even suggested eliminating the program entirely. Now, the news that research examining and supporting Head Start could be cut is an ominous sign. The Trump administration seems intent on cutting the program and everything connected to it, even though it has widespread support from the public. Already, Head Start offices have closed around the country. What will fill the void for low-income families in America?

MRD To Undertake Spot Monitoring Of CDF Projects In All 50 Constituencies
The Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) will soon commence spot monitoring of Constituency Development Funds (CDF) projects in all the 50 constituencies. This is to gauge the level of project implementations in the constituencies as well as identify areas which may need improvements in its service delivery and development programs. 'Project monitoring is one of the key activities the ministry will put more emphasis on this year and in the years ahead to improve the smooth implementation of projects and ensure that CDF funds are utilized for the benefit of every community and constituents. 'Project Monitoring is a vital process in any development program and MRD will work to undertake this process in all the 50 constituencies. This is an important exercise to ensure that the government receives value for money across its initiatives, projects, and processes for the advancement of socio-economic development and building livelihoods in the rural areas,' MRD said in an issued statement. The Ministry, while acknowledging challenges faced in its Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) implementation in past years due to limited resources, technical capacity gaps, and procedural complications, thanked the GNUT government for its commitment and support to the Constituency Development programme (CDP). This is demonstrated through an allocation of over $1 million in MRD's budget for M&E this financial year 2025. Also, as part of the ministry's efforts to strengthen its in-house M&E capacity, the Ministry recently recruited three (3) M&E officers, boosting the ministry's manpower for efficient and effective service delivery. 'The experience and capability the officers bring is a bonus and will surely help the Ministry to best deliver its key mandates and functions, support constituency development program implementations and policy priorities towards enhancing delivery of services to the rural people of Solomon Islands,' the statement said. The Ministry calls on all constituencies and beneficiaries to support and work with MRD to implement this activity.

BISE rolls out measures for fair paper marking
The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Rawalpindi has announced that several significant measures have been implemented to ensure the transparency, impartiality, and quality of the paper marking process. In a joint statement, the BISE Chairman, Muhammad Adnan Khan, and the Controller of Examinations, Tanveer Asghar Awan, stated that biometric attendance systems and CCTV cameras have been installed at all established marking centres of the Board. "These measures aim to effectively monitor the attendance, discipline, and performance of the marking staff and other related personnel." To further enhance the monitoring and transparency of the marking process, the Board has introduced an advanced Monitoring and Evaluation System, which was successfully implemented during the Inter Second Annual Examinations of 2024. This system has now been further improved and is also being applied for the Matric Annual Examinations of 2025. The system will not only monitor Head Examiners, Sub-Examiners, Supervisors, and Assistant Head Examiners, but also other relevant officers, ensuring accountability and transparency at every level. Maintaining impartiality, transparency, and merit in the marking process is the top priority, ensuring that no student faces any injustice. This system is expected to improve staff performance and further strengthen public trust in the examination system. Recently, Controller of Examinations visited the marking centres established at Government Boys Qadria Secondary School Gujar Khan and Government Girls High School Kallar Syedan and instructed the marking staff to ensure complete transparency and merit in the marking process.
