Education: A Comprehensive Overview
Education encompasses the teaching and acquisition of
knowledge, proper conduct, and technical proficiency. It
emphasizes the development of skills, trades, or professions, along with mental, moral, and aesthetic growth.
Formal education entails structured instruction, teaching, and training delivered by professional educators.
It involves the application of pedagogy and the creation of curricula.
The right to education is a fundamental human right.
Since 1952, Article 2 of the First Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights has mandated all
signatory parties to ensure this right. At the global
level, the United Nations’ International Covenant on
Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights of 1966 guarantees the right to education under Article 13.
Educational systems are established to provide education and training, often targeting children and youth.
A curriculum outlines what students should know,
understand, and be capable of doing after completing their education. The teaching profession facilitates
learning, and a framework of policies, regulations,
examinations, structures, and funding supports educators in delivering high-quality education.
Primary (or elementary) education encompasses the
initial years of formal, structured education. Typically
lasting six or seven years, primary education begins
around the age of 5 or 6, though this timeframe varies among countries. Globally, approximately 70% of
primary-age children are enrolled in primary education, with this figure steadily increasing.
In most contemporary educational systems worldwide,
secondary education covers the subsequent years
of formal education occurring during adolescence. It
marks the transition from compulsory, comprehensive
primary education for minors to optional, selective
tertiary, or higher education (e.g., university, vocational school) for adults.
Higher education, also referred to as tertiary, third
stage, or post-secondary education, is the non-compulsory educational level following the completion
of secondary schooling, such as high school or secondary school. Tertiary education typically includes
undergraduate and postgraduate programs, as well
as vocational education and training. Colleges and
universities serve as the primary institutions offering tertiary education and are collectively known as
tertiary institutions. Completion of tertiary education
often leads to the attainment of certificates, diplomas,
or academic degrees.

HOW TO COPE WITH THE SUNDAY
SCARIES
by Chantelle Lee
________(1) Sunday night, and you’re feeling sad and anxious about going back to work in the morning.
Say hello to the Sunday scaries
You’re not alone in your workweek dread: “They’re very, very common,” says Susanne Cooperman, a neuropsychologist and psychoanalyst at New York University Langone Huntington Medical Group. “There’s nothing wrong with a person if they feel sad that the weekend is over. It’s when it really interferes in your functioning—when you can’t focus, when you can’t sleep, when you feel yourself medicating with alcohol—then you need help.”
Here’s why people get the Sunday scaries and the best ways to combat those thoughts of doom and gloom.
__________(2) are the Sunday scaries? The Sunday scaries typically manifest in two ways: feelings of depression that the weekend is ending, feelings of anxiety about the week to come, or both. These feelings typically start on Sunday afternoon.
“It could be that you feel sad and irritable and you have difficulty concentrating and fatigue,”
Cooperman says. That collection of feelings is called anhedonia—basically a loss of enjoyment.
If you feel more dread for the work week ahead, that’s called “anticipatory anxiety,” she says.
Why people get them
The scaries strike for all kinds of reasons. They could be related to work—maybe you’re afraid of losing your job, or you’re dreading going to the office in person, or you’re simply having a hard time unplugging from work after hours, Cooperman says.
Or, she adds, it could also be that you overbooked yourself during the week and feel exhausted by the time Sunday comes around.
How to deal with the Sunday scaries
One of the best ways to deal with the Sunday scaries is to mentally plant yourself firmly in the present. One way to achieve this is to try a mediation or relaxation app, even if it’s only for 10 or 15 minutes, Cooperman says. “I think that’s probably the best out of all the tips: stay in the moment, really try to curtail that catastrophizing into the future,” she says. There are other paths away from the scaries, too: Unplug from your phone or social media, maintain a good work-life balance, do some exercise, or get some fresh air. Make sure to schedule fun activities for Sunday afternoon and evening and do things that reliably make you feel better or help you “refuel [your] batteries,” Cooperman says. Just as important is allowing yourself downtime to relax and unwind, she adds. She also recommends trying to split up errands throughout the week so you don’t feel like you wasted your entire Sunday doing them.
While the Sunday scaries are common, people should keep an eye on how they’re coping come the end of the weekend. “Use healthy, adaptive ways to self-soothe when you’re anxious and have the scaries,” Cooperman says. “A glass of wine is fine, but if it’s more than that and you need it every night, then that’s a problem.” If the scaries are so bad that it’s significantly impacting your life, Cooperman suggests talking about these feelings with a therapist or a psychologist. Some warning signs include being so anxious that it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning, having anxiety attacks, needing alcohol to calm down, not being able to focus or sleep, or failing to enjoy the weekend at all. “If you just can’t get out of that loop where you’re constantly unhappy, then I think you’re at a place where you should see a psychologist or a therapist,” Cooperman says. “Sometimes it’s hard to [deal with it] on your own. It’s good to talk to a professional.”

Based on the excerpt “She also recommends trying to
split up errands throughout the week so you don’t feel
like you wasted your entire Sunday doing them.”,
select the alternative whose term can replace “split
up” without changing the meaning.

Read the excerpt from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, which depicts Alice’s first encounter with the Mouse:
“‘Mine is a long and a sad tale!’ said the Mouse, turning to Alice, and sighing. ‘It is a long tail, certainly,’ said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse’s tail; ‘but why do you call it sad?’ And she kept on puzzling about it while the Mouse was speaking.”

Anthropologie Elevates Maeve in Rare Retail Brand
Launch
Anthropologie is spinning off its Maeve product line as a
standalone brand, a rare move in a retail sector where
brand extensions have become less common.
The decision reflects shifting strategies among specialty
retailers as they work to adapt to changes in women's
fast-fashion and evolving consumer behavior.
Maeve, known for its blend of classic silhouettes and
modern flourishes, will now operate independently with
dedicated storefronts and separate digital channels,
including new social media accounts and editorial content
platforms, according to a Monday (Aug. 4) press release.
The brand is inclusive, spanning plus, petite, tall and
adaptive options, which broaden its reach as the industry
contends with demands for representation.
Maeve has nearly 2 million customers and was the
most-searched brand on the Anthropologie website over
the past year, the release said. It is also a driver of
TikTok engagement. Several of the company's most
"hearted" items online are already from the Maeve label.
"Maeve has emerged as a true driver of growth within
Anthropologie's portfolio," Anu Narayanan, president of
women's and home at Anthropologie Group, said in the
release. "Its consistent performance, combined with our
customers' emotional connection to the brand, made this
the right moment to evolve Maeve into a standalone
identity."
While many retailers have retreated from new brand
creation, opting instead to consolidate or focus on core
labels, Anthropologie's move suggests confidence in
cultivating sizable, engaged consumer communities
around sub-brands.
Anthropologie is backing Maeve's standalone debut with
a comprehensive marketing campaign, including
influencer-driven content, a new Substack, a launch
event in New York, and a charitable partnership, per the
release. The first Maeve brick-and-mortar store is set to
open in Raleigh, North Carolina, in the fall.
The move comes as the apparel sector in the United
States sees shoppers valuing not just price and selection,
but brand story, inclusivity and digital experience. While
the outcome remains to be seen, Anthropologie's gamble
on Maeve reflects a belief that consumers remain eager
to embrace distinctive, thoughtfully curated fashion.

The passage highlights Anthropologie's unusual decision
to launch Maeve as a standalone brand. In this context,

In the Digital Era, OurDictionaries Read Us

Peter Sokolowski, editor at large at Merriam-Webster Inc.
For Peter Sokolowski, a high-profile event like the 9/11 attacks or the 2012 vice-presidential debate is not just news. It's a
“vocabulary event” that sends readers racing to their dictionaries.
Sokolowski is editor at large for Merriam-Webster, whose red-and-blue-jacketed Collegiate Dictionary still sits on the desk
of many a student and editor. In a print-only era, it would have been next to impossible for him to track vocabulary events. Samuel
Johnson, the grand old man of the modern dictionary, “could have spent a week or a month writing a given word's definition and could
never have known if anyone read it”, he says.
Today, Sokolowski can and does monitor what visitors to the Merriam-Webster Web site look up—as they're doing it.
With the spread of digital technologies, dictionaries have become a two-way mirror, a record not just of words' meanings but
of what we want to know. Digital dictionaries read us.
The days of displaying a thick Webster's in the parlor may be past, but dictionaries inhabit our daily lives more than we realize.
"There are many more times during a day that you are interacting with a dictionary" now than ever before, says Katherine Connor
Martin, head of U.S. dictionaries for Oxford University Press. Whenever you send a text or an e-mail, or read an e-book on your Nook,
Kindle, or iPad, a dictionary is at your fingertips, whether or not you're aware of it.
For dictionary makers, going electronic opens up all kinds of possibilities. It's not just that digital dictionaries can be
embedded in the operating systems of computers and e-readers so that they're always at hand. They can be updated far more easily and
often than their print cousins, and they can incorporate material like audio pronunciations and thesauruses. Unsuccessful word "lookups," or searches that don't produce satisfying results, can point lexicographers to terms that haven't yet made their way into a particular
dictionary or whose definitions need to be amended or freshened. Online readers can click a button and contribute their own word lore,
extending a tradition that dates back at least as far as the late 19th century, when James Murray and his team compiled the first Oxford
English Dictionary with the help of thousands of word slips sent in by the public.

Professor Nayanika Mookherjee awarded top
Anthropology honour
The Medal is awarded by the Royal Anthropological
Institute for outstanding contributions to anthropology,
with an emphasis on fieldwork and a significant body of
theoretical literature.
Shaping global conversations
Professor Mookherjee is Co-Director of our Institute of
Advanced Studies, and her interdisciplinary work
explores how societies remember violence and imagine
fairer futures.
Her research spans war crimes tribunals, memorials,
wartime sexual violence, graphic ethnography, digital
surveillance and nearly three decades of fieldwork in
Bangladesh.
Using ethnography and visual storytelling, Professor
Mookherjee examines how memories of conflict shape
politics, aesthetics, and ethics today.
Her work has shaped global conversations on ethical
testimonies, public memories and gendered violence
during conflict.
It has contributed substantially to the well-being of
survivors and ethical discussions on sexual violence
during conflict.
Far reaching concepts
In 2022, Professor Mookherjee theorised and edited the
volume 'On Irreconciliation' to explore the politics of
non-forgiveness, justice and the possibilities of
accountability after conflict.
The work allowed an important examination of the rule of
law within processes of unresolved genocidal injustices,
debates relating to enslavement, memorialisation,
removal of statues and institutional responses to bullying
and harassment.
The concept of Irreconciliation has had extensive
interdisciplinary interest and resonance.
Professor Mookherjee was invited to deliver the 2023
Firth lecture?on this theme at the Association of Social
Anthropology of UK's annual conference.?
The lecture generated discussions among those
researching genocide, state violence, reparative justice
as well as those working on climate change and mental
health.
The theoretical frameworks has been widely deployed by
academic and non-academic communities within and
beyond anthropology.
Professor Mookherjee is currently preparing a book on
the 'Arts of Irreconciliation and the Futuring of
Bangladesh' covering the debates of the liberation war of the country and the 2024 uprising.
Prestigious award
Professor Mookherjee said she was honoured to receive
the 2025 Rivers Memorial Medal, adding: "The research
among various communities has meant so much for my
learning, thinking, writing and teaching.
"I am absolutely delighted with this recognition.
"For various survivor communities a critique of the
symbolic performance of redressal has become very
important.
"This creates the possibility of not only registering the
impact of violence.
"It also creates a political space for them in the face of
the corrosive realities that the lack of acknowledgement
of injustice engenders.
"It is also important to critically understand various forms
of irreconciliation and victimhood."

Advanced Studies, and her interdisciplinary work
explores how societies remember violence and imagine
fairer futures.
Her research spans war crimes tribunals, memorials,
wartime sexual violence, graphic ethnography, digital
surveillance and nearly three decades of fieldwork in
Bangladesh.
Using ethnography and visual storytelling, Professor
Mookherjee examines how memories of conflict shape
politics, aesthetics, and ethics today.
Her work has shaped global conversations on ethical
testimonies, public memories and gendered violence
during conflict.
It has contributed substantially to the well-being of
survivors and ethical discussions on sexual violence
during conflict.
Far reaching concepts
In 2022, Professor Mookherjee theorised and edited the
volume 'On Irreconciliation' to explore the politics of
non-forgiveness, justice and the possibilities of
accountability after conflict.
The work allowed an important examination of the rule of
law within processes of unresolved genocidal injustices,
debates relating to enslavement, memorialisation,
removal of statues and institutional responses to bullying
and harassment.
The concept of Irreconciliation has had extensive
interdisciplinary interest and resonance.
Professor Mookherjee was invited to deliver the 2023
Firth lecture?on this theme at the Association of Social
Anthropology of UK's annual conference.?
The lecture generated discussions among those
researching genocide, state violence, reparative justice
as well as those working on climate change and mental
health.
The theoretical frameworks has been widely deployed by
academic and non-academic communities within and
beyond anthropology.
Professor Mookherjee is currently preparing a book on
the 'Arts of Irreconciliation and the Futuring of
Bangladesh' covering the debates of the liberation war of the country and the 2024 uprising.
Prestigious award
Professor Mookherjee said she was honoured to receive
the 2025 Rivers Memorial Medal, adding: "The research
among various communities has meant so much for my
learning, thinking, writing and teaching.
"I am absolutely delighted with this recognition.
"For various survivor communities a critique of the
symbolic performance of redressal has become very
important.
"This creates the possibility of not only registering the
impact of violence.
"It also creates a political space for them in the face of
the corrosive realities that the lack of acknowledgement
of injustice engenders.
"It is also important to critically understand various forms
of irreconciliation and victimhood."

'First there is trust, then passion, then death': Why
the 'Virgin Queen' never married
Neil Armstrong
Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII, is the only English
queen never to have married. The iconic Tudor
monarch's last visit to Kenilworth 450 years ago may hold
some clues to her solo reign − as revealed in a new art
installation at the castle, depicting betrayal, beheadings
and an elaborate declaration of love.
On a July evening in 1575, 41-year-old Queen Elizabeth I
arrived at Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire, UK, for
what would be her longest and last visit. She had given
the castle to Robert Dudley in 1563 and granted him the
title of Earl of Leicester the following year. Dudley was a
great favourite of the Queen and is thought to have been
her childhood friend. The precise nature of their close
relationship was the subject of much gossip.
Prior to the unmarried Queen's arrival, Dudley had given
the magnificent castle a major refurb. New buildings had
gone up, a new garden had been created and the estate
had been landscaped. And the earl pulled out all the
stops to lay on extraordinary entertainment in the form of
music, dancing, acrobatics, spectacular fireworks and
dramatic interludes performed by costumed actors. On
the huge mere surrounding the castle, there was a
moving island inhabited by the "Lady of the Lake". There
was a 24ft (7.3m) dolphin that concealed musicians, and
an 18ft-(5.5m) long swimming mermaid.
No expense was spared. It cost Dudley £1,000 ($1,400)
a day − millions in today's money, and the whole
extravaganza has been interpreted as an elaborate and
expensive courtship display; the 16th-Century ruling
class's equivalent of hiring a plane to fly a "Marry Me"
banner. "The 1575 festivities were an attempt to woo
Elizabeth − marriage is a theme in some of the events,"
Jeremy Ashbee, head curator of properties at English
Heritage, tells the BBC. "Dr Elizabeth Goldring, who has
made a detailed study of Lord Leicester, has called it 'his
last throw of the dice'."
Dudley's gamble seemed to be going swimmingly, but
then everything changed. The highlight of the stay was to
have been a masque − or performance − on Wednesday
20 July. It never took place. Was it simply a case of bad
weather preventing the event, as the official version had
it? Or had the monarch got wind of the subject matter
and been angered? The masque featured Diana,
goddess of chastity, searching for one of her chaste
nymphs, pointedly called Zabetta − a version of the
name Elizabeth.
It concluded with a messenger of Juno, goddess of
marriage, directly addressing Elizabeth, and imploring her
not to follow the path of Diana but to marry instead.
Dudley had a certain amount of leeway with the Queen, but this perhaps was going too far. Whatever the reason,
the masque never took place, and the revelries were
over. The Queen remained in her quarters for a few more
days before leaving on 27 July.
Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII, is the only English
queen never to have married. She came to power in
1558 at the age of 25, inheriting religious, political and
financial problems from her two predecessors, her
half-brother, Edward VI (1537-1553), and her half-sister,
Mary I (1516-1558).
Advisers and members of Parliament repeatedly urged
her to marry to protect England's security. A woman
ruling alone? Inconceivable. A queen needed to marry, it
was believed, not just to produce a male heir in order to
avoid succession disputes but also so that a man could
take charge of political and military matters. The
entreaties to marry were ceaseless, and numerous
matrimonial candidates were suggested or suggested
themselves. Elizabeth repeatedly parried, deflected and
refused. Why?
It's entirely possible that she simply found the idea of
having to obey or defer to a husband − any husband −
intolerable. After all, she was very well educated (she
learned five languages − French, Italian, Spanish, Latin
and Flemish − and had studied history and rhetoric),
highly intelligent, proud and fiery. She is said to have
declared: "I will have but one mistress here and no
master."
Also, Elizabeth knew that a woman could govern
perfectly well without a man looking over her shoulder. In
the summer of 1544, at Hampton Court, she witnessed
the scholarly Katherine Parr, Henry's sixth wife, ruling
with full authority while the king was on campaign in
France. Katherine was a more than capable regent, and
Elizabeth seems to have been profoundly influenced by
seeing her stepmother exercising power, and accepting
as her due the humble deference of powerful male
ministers and courtiers.
Besides, her own immediate family had hardly furnished
her with an image of the joys of marriage. Her father had
her mother, Anne Boleyn, arrested on trumped-up
charges of adultery and conspiracy, and then, shockingly,
had her beheaded when Elizabeth was just three years
old. Some commentators have suggested that Elizabeth
might have been afraid of sex.
In fact, Elizabeth enjoyed the company of handsome
men, and could be flirtatious with them. However, she
had plenty of reasons to fear pregnancy and childbirth.
Childbirth was a very high-risk enterprise in the Tudor
era. Jane Seymour, Henry's third wife, died in childbirth,
and Katherine Parr died of an illness shortly after giving
birth, as had Elizabeth's grandmother, Elizabeth of York.
But there were political reasons, as well as personal, for
not marrying. Keeping the country free from the influence
of foreign powers may have been a consideration. Also,
the prospect of Elizabeth's hand in marriage might have
strengthened her negotiating position in her dealings with
France, Spain and other nations. Meanwhile, if she'd
married an English nobleman (and Dudley might have been a possibility had not his wife, Amy Robsart, died in
somewhat suspicious circumstances in 1560), she would
have automatically put another English nobleman's nose
out-of-joint.
So she kept everyone waiting and wondering. She seems
to have had an instinctive grasp of what we now call PR,
and liked to present herself as wholly devoted to her
realm. From early in her reign she cultivated the image of
the Virgin Queen. In 1559 she declared, in response to
MPs asking her to marry, that eventually "a marble stone
shall declare that a queen, having reigned such a time,
lived and died a virgin".
Had the real Elizabeth allowed Dudley to think he might
be in with a chance? And what did the Kenilworth visit
mean for their relationship? "I don't believe that he felt
humiliated by her rejection of his proposal," says Ashbee.
"He was happy for an official account of the festivities to
be published soon afterwards, and in his will, he
stipulated that the castle was to be left exactly as it had
been. I rather get the feeling that he saw 1575 as his
'finest hour'. He certainly didn't retire quietly into private
life after 1575."
Elizabeth was furious with Dudley for a while when he
married Lettice Knollys in 1578 − but she forgave him.
When he died, in 1588, she locked herself in her room for
so long that her chief adviser ordered that the doors be
forced open. And when Elizabeth died in 1603, a note
Dudley had sent her shortly before his death was found
in a casket she kept by the side of her bed. She had
written on it "his last letter".

In English, some words used in everyday communication
are not entirely new creations, but rather shortened
versions of longer forms that remain widely understood
and accepted. These shortened words often become
more common than their original forms, especially in
informal contexts. Considering the options below, identify
which one illustrates this phenomenon:
