I have reconnected with my children as we have never had this time together before. We have had time to talk without the hustle and bustle of work, car journeys etc. No hassling over uniform washing has been a bonus too. \U0001f600

Let\u2019s stop the alarmist headlines of LOST LEARNING
DAMAGE OF SCHOOL \u2018CLOSURES\u2019
Let\u2019s look at the opportunities and positives of temporary remote education & hope for a long-term strategy https://t.co/ODBqdZzSw2
Like I say, I\u2019m a shy student and I always have been! I\u2019ve loved not having that pressure on top of me and I agree that it\u2019s helped us flourish!

Tag your friends, take fruit juice and unwind this thread🧵:
In Part A, I will discuss what you need to know about Admission and Scholarship in Germany, In Part B, I will show you how to practically apply and get funding.
Read the following general facts about Germany:
1. About 80-90% of the Universities are tuition-free.
However, in some states, you may be asked to pay about 1000-3000 Euros/semester, which covers student union fees and travel tickets around the state for a semester.
2. Most Msc students don't search for scholarships. Instead, they look for a block account of about 10, 000
Euros.

3. From the block account, the Govt pays you about 850 Euros monthly for Living expenses.
Check:
4. If you can find a way to get the block account, you have the chance of recouping your money back and much more because student job is around 1000 Euros/month, and it's about 20-40hrs /week.

Okay, #MAEdu, let's talk FY22 and the Student Opportunity Act: https://t.co/o1tgppGy4K
First up:
The FIRST year, Governor Baker?
This is the second year of SOA implementation: you're missing one.
So, are we going to do this in six years, or are we just going to kick the can ANOTHER year on kids?
Remember, school funding is builds on prior years.
We never get that missing funding back.
Also: what are the base numbers being used?
Is the Governor dropping enrollment, even though we all know that was an artificial drop?
There's a decent chance that a WHOLE bunch of those kindergartner and preschoolers are going to be back this fall if we manage to get kids into buildings, PLUS we'll have the USUAL enrollment of preK and K!
...and less funding than usual?
.@MassGovernor Baker says FY22 budget proposal will fully fund the 1st year of the Student Opportunity Act. #mapoli #MassMuni21
