The 2022 Ukrainian school year started in September, with a very somer start. Six months after the unprovoked Russian invasion, of their homeland had started out of nowhere. In a genocide of culture and learning, over 2000 educational institutions and 500 cultural sites have been damaged or destroyed by Russian shelling. The new curriculum including instructions on emergency measures and all buildings are required to have bomb shelters. The absence of children’s laughter leaves a surreal silence. Libraries are decimated. Sports trophies litter floors. The principal of Kharkiv Specialized School #62 wipes away dirt from a mural created by student dancers that form the word ‘Peace’ in Russian. A mortar attack obliterated a school in Kharkiv. Dead bodies are a daily visual for the students. For all civilians in Ukraine, daily life is a frontline. WELCOME TO: ‘Genocide of Learning’ by 4 time Pulitzer Winner CAROL GUZY, as part of an in-depth coverage all year long of this human tragedy.

January 3, 2023, HONG KONG, CHINA: In Hong Kong, mother and her daughter walking pass closed shutter of main entrance to the High Speed Rail terminal at the Kowloon Station. As the Covid-19 outbreak on the China Mainland is rampant in various provinces, Hong Kong is taking a cautious measure not to open main port of Lo Wu at the China-HK boarder on 8th of January this year, which would allow China Mainlanders to be transported directly into the city centre by MTR train system. Meanwhile, High Speed Rail terminal at Kowloon Station will not be opened for further notice although preparation for re-opening of station is now under way.Jan-3,2023Hong Kong.ZUMA/Liau Chung-ren (Credit Image: © Liau Chung-ren/ZUMA Press Wire)

Proof of vaccination is no longer needed to enter key venues, such as, restaurants, theatres, concert halls, museums, government headquarters and hospitals etc. The move is being widely interpreted as HKSAR’s initiative to accommodate reopening of Hong Kong-China boarder scheduled for 8th of January next year, when, influx of shoppers from China Mainland is expected.
