China plans to dispatch 21,036 teachers to remote primary and middle schools in the 2021-2022 school year, the Ministry of Education said Tuesday. Jointly launched by the MOE and the Ministry of Finance, the program will select 20,041 and 995 teachers across China for compulsory and non-compulsory education, respectively.

美独立日假期枪击案多发

Nearly 190 people were shot dead across the United States over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a research organization. The Chicago Tribune newspaper reported at least 95 people were shot in the city during the long weekend, and among those injured were two police officers from the Chicago Police Department. In New York, there were 26 victims from 21 shootings from Friday to Sunday, the New York Police Department said.
