In 2023, World Teachers’ Day celebrations will focus on the theme “The teachers we need for the education we want: The global imperative to reverse the teacher shortage”.

McCarthy ousted in historic vote

In an extraordinary showdown, the US House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been voted out of the job.
The 216-to-210 vote marked the first time in history that the House removed its leader, with eight Republicans voting along with 208 Democrats to remove McCarthy.
The rebellion was led by Representative Matt Gaetz, a far-right Republican from Florida. He had accused the party leader of not doing enough to cut federal spending or to stand up to Democratic President Joe Biden.
McCarthy told lawmakers that he would not run again for the Speaker, putting the gavel up for grabs.
The next steps are highly uncertain as there is no obvious successor to lead the House Republican majority. Action is halted in the House until next week when Republicans try to elect a new speaker.

Centre declare NLFT & ATTF Unlawful Associations

The Central Government has declared the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) and their factions as unlawful associations under the Unlawful Activites (Prevention) Act.
The Home Ministry has banned these organisations for five years.

The Ministry said, the government is of the opinion that the activities of NLFT and ATTF are detrimental to the sovereignty and integrity of India and that they are unlawful associations.
The Ministry said, these factions have been engaging in subversive and violent activities, thereby undermining the authority of the Government and spreading terror and violence among people for achieving their objectives.
The Ministry added that if there is no immediate curb and control on these organisations, they will mobilise their cadres for escalating their secessionist, subversive, and violent activities.
It added that they will also propagate anti-national activities in collusion with forces inimical to India’s sovereignty and national integrity.

Laurent Le Moal, the current Global CEO, will transition to an advisory role within the company.
Anirban Mukherjee will be taking over from Laurent Le Moal, who has decided to step back from the day-to-day operational management of the business.
