Parent group calls for stop to publication of student test scores
The Taiwan Parent Education Association is urged high schools cease
publishing the scores of Taiwan's aptitude tests for high school and college
admission.
According to the association, some high schools publish the names of students
who achieved (達到了) a perfect score on the General Scholastic Ability Test
and this practice causes students stress over their test scores ..
… and contradicts the Ministry of Education's direction to not use test
scores as the only metric for being admitted to or applying to universities.
The association says high schools should stop publishing students' test
scores, and the media should stop reporting on the issue to allow more
students to be vetted by universities based on their achievements in a range
of areas, not just their test scores.

scene at Avalon Airport in Victoria state.

Mexico Monarch Butterfly Numbers Rebound
The number of monarch butterflies wintering in the mountains west of Mexico
City, rebounded this year, doubling the area they covered in 2024 despite the
stresses of climate change.
Mexico’s Commission for National Protected Areas said that this year,
butterflies covered 1.79 hectares compared to only 0.9 hectares the year
before.
Last year’s figure represented a 59% drop from 2023, the second lowest level
since record keeping began.
The annual butterfly count doesn’t calculate the individual (個) number of
butterflies, but rather the area they cover as they gather on tree branches
in the mountain forests.
