The US will revoke the visa of Chinese students to protect their AI industry. The risk is that he ends up wounding her death

by

China is by far the largest world graduate producer in Stem races (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), both in absolute and relative terms to the global total. The phenomenon is an exceptional magnitude, but there is a country that has just been slaughtered in their noses: United States. What happened. As they pointed out In The New York Times A few days ago, the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, advertisement that the Trump administration “would aggressively revoke” the visas of Chinese students. In these visa cancellations, those students with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (PCC) or those who study “critical fields” that did not define clearly but probably include that of AI will be included. Source: The New York Times. Impact. In 2024 in the United States, 20% of the visas granted to students went to young Chinese students. The measure is worrying for American universities, which depend on international students who pay the full cost – without scholarships – for their annual income. In addition, this decision affects both students who want to ask for a visa from now on and those who are already studying in the country. In total there are about 275,000 Chinese students in all types of university careers. Uncertainty. It is not clear what criteria will be followed to revoke these visas and not as quickly these measures will begin. Nor is it known if China will retaliate, although the number of US students in China is much less significant. In 2020 USA He already expelled to 1,000 Chinese students with ties with Chinese military schools. A massive practice. A report Published by the State Department and the NGO called the Institute of International Education indicated last year that China was the second country with the highest share of international students: only India “exports” more students. In the 2023-2024 COURSE, it received 1.1 million international students, of which 331,000 came from India (23% more than the previous year) and 277,000 from China (4% less than the previous year). Source: CSET. China is absolute power in Stem. If there is a “graduate” graduate producer “(science, technology, engineering and mathematics), that is China. Collected data By cset They reveal that in 2020 China led the number of graduates in these disciplines, with a total of 3.57 million students. Only India approaches with 2.55 million students, but for example in the US the figure is four times lower than in China: 820,000 graduates. Source: CSET. And the one that is most dedicated to these disciplines. Not only is it that China has the greatest number of Stem graduates in the world: it is that the percentage of students who choose these disciplines is also the largest in the world. 41% of students are launched to Stem Carreras. They are followed by Russia (37%), Germany (36%, Iran (33%) and India (30%). In the US, only 20%of students bet on scientific careers. Source: Macro Polo / Paulsen Institute. And that includes AI. In People’s Daily They pointed out A few days ago how approximately 50% of the main researchers of AI are trained in Chinese universities. The worrying thing for the US is not that: they depend a lot on them. A report of the Paulgo Institute of Chicago (USA) recently revealed that 38% of AI experts that develop their professional career in the US They have formed in Chinese universities. They are in fact more than those who have a strictly American origin (37%). China does not stop betting on Stem Education. Between 2012 and 2022 the budget spending of the Chinese government in education increased from 2.2 billion yuan (268,167 million euros) to 4.85 billion yuan (591,187 million euros), more than double. Several Chinese elite universities They have announced His intention to expand his curricula with the objective of prioritizing the strategic needs of the country, and here the AI ​​- who You start teaching in schools– It’s key. Imminent danger. This domain has a direct impact on the capacity of innovation, technological development and industrial competitiveness of China, but also of the countries that allow Chinese students to study and then work in international companies. Cut your wings to that talent is to cut them to innovation. The US will get just the opposite of what it intended. The analyst Alberto Romero explained How these measures are probably designed to protect national security – which Chinese students do not end up “spying” for China. “However, instead of helping the US to enhance their industry, what can happen is that they weaken it. Not only that: that revocation of visas can precisely help China meet their strategic objectives. Nvidia already notified with the hardware. The US opted to veto the export of its advanced chips from AI to China. The shot has come absolutely for the cylinder headand instead of preventing Chinese development and innovation, it has put a rocket. They do not seem to have learned the lesson, and revoke the visas to Chinese students can end up being an even bigger shot that comes out of an even bigger cylinder head.

Students feel that Pau is the opposite

by

This year, thousands of high school students face A historical selectivity. For the first time, the University Access Test (PAU) will have the same structure throughout the country, marking A before and after in the test Access. These changes are generating a lot of expectation and anxiety among students, extending the opinion that changes They have increased difficulty With regard to previous calls, in a demanding evidence. Uncertainty about How to develop The new structure of Pau is one of the main concerns among students, and the fear of the unknown has become the main protagonist of the classrooms a few days after the call. Unification and fears of the new exam model Pau 2025 is a change of structure in the access test that seeks Unify the exam model In all autonomous communities, with the objective of make more fair Access to the university, regardless of the community where the test is carried out. According to Diana Morant, Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities “is more agile, modern and adapts to society with the maximum academic rigor and guaranteeing the equal opportunities of all students in Spain.” Teachers have expressed concern that, although the exam format has been homogenized, the question of the question of the difficulty according to the community Autonomous, which could continue to generate inequalities. “The competences are transferred to the autonomous communities, and each community fixes a part of its own agenda. This makes a unique model very difficult to implement. (…) The test is organized decentralized, while the admission is unique. Even if you have to ask for a place in each university district, your note serves to enter any university of Spain,” He pointed out Javier Oubiña, Student Vice Chancellor and Employability of the Autonomous University of Madrid. However, one of the main fears of students is that this new format Increase the difficulty of the test and cause a generalized decrease in the notes. That could make access to races with the highest cut -off note and leave them in disadvantages with last year’s students. “If the notes go down a lot, it can put us at a disadvantage to enter the most demanded careers, since it is likely that those who presented the previous years have higher notes than what we are going to have. That, and the increase in the difficulty of the questions, is what overwhelms us the people of my course I have around me,” assured to The country Julia, a high school that prepares for the PAU. As He pointed out Carla Mora, 2nd high school student in Almería to Almería Diario “The changes should have already been made for students who are in 1st Baccalaureate this year and not for us that so far we have been working in a different way the test, that is, with the previous model. The novelties have been introduced to us suddenly.” Main changes in Pau 2025 One of the main News of the PAU 2025 It is the disappearance of the possibility of choosing between several optional questions. Now, all the questions included in the test are mandatory, although it will be possible to choose some questions or sections within the exercise itself. From the Ministry of Education it is warned that this “optionality will not imply being able to study less a agenda”, which forces students to prepare the complete content of each subject, and not to do without it as allowed the previous model. Another of the novelties that are worrying students is the change in the format of the questions. The new exam will combine exercises with closed tests type test, semi -constructed questions (such as filling spaces) and, the most controversial, open answers in which the student must develop the resolution process. In the latter it has been sought a more competence approach. That is, the student has understood the concept and not only memorized. They seek to evaluate creativity, critical thinking, reflection and maturity in resolution. With the arrival of the open format of the questions, the correction criteria are also modified. In them, not only will the correction of the response be assessed, but also coherence, cohesion, grammatical, lexical and spelling correction, as well as the presentation. Spelling failures will mean a 10% penalty of the score, according to the new guidelines. Both the fact of forcing students to prepare the entire age The most difficult in recent years. What has not changed in the 2025 PAU Despite the changes, some fundamental aspects of the PAU in 2025 remain the same as in previous calls. The test continues to be divided into two parts: a basic and mandatory, in which it is necessary to obtain at least 5 to access the university; and another volunteer, which allows you to add up to 4 additional points to try to improve the final grade. According What is indicated by the Ministrythe subjects of the mandatory part They are Castilian and Literature II language, foreign language II, History of Spain or Philosophy (to choose), and Co -official Language and Literature II in communities with their own language. The voluntary part includes at least two subjects of the Baccalaureate, History or Philosophy (the one that I did not choose for the mandatory phase), and a second foreign language (English, French, German, Italian or Portuguese). The final grade calculation system has not changed: 60% of the final grade corresponds to the average high school grade and the remaining 40% is provided by the note obtained in the PAU. That is, if in Baccalaureate an average grade of 7.5 has been obtained and in the Pau an 8, the final access note will be a 7.7 (Baccalaureate note x 0.6 + Pau note x 0.4). The time to perform each exam is maintained in 90 minutes, with 30 minutes of rest between tests. Students with educational support needs will have more time.

Right now there are 4500 North American students advised psychologically by a chatbot. It’s just the beginning

by

Right now, while I write this, there are about 4,500 North American students being “psychologically advised” Through an application Sonny called. It is nothing surprising. In the US, around 17% of secondary schools have no counselor or school psychologist. Most of them are in rural areas or in economically depressed zones and applications of this type bring psychosocial assistance to everyone. The problem is not that. The problem is that Sonny is An artificial intelligence chatbot. Is the chatbot? Let it be put. The idea is not new: in fact, it is one of the first ideas that comes to everyone worried about mental health. In the last 50 years We have concluded that psychotherapy is tremendously effective. For now we have not been able to climb it: that is the promise of the chatbots. Sonny’s example Help to understand it: Students have access to chatbot 18 hours a day (from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.) and the “Solo” service costs each district between $ 20,000 and $ 30,000. Much less than a school advisor to use. It is true that it is not so effective that the counselor, but for many environments it is the best that can be allowed. And, in fact, according to some of its users explainbeyond its final therapeutic effectiveness, these types of approaches allow school to identify almost real problems among students. In Berryville (Arkansas), they discovered that more than half of the users sent messages just before exams and allowed them to develop emotional support interventions. Is this the future? A couple of years ago, Zara Abrams published an extensive analysis In the American Psychological Association, where it was concluded that “artificial intelligence chatbots (AI) can make therapy more accessible and less expensive.” Just what Sonny does. However, as also explained Abrams“Despite the potential of AI, there are still reasons to worry: the tools used in the health field have discriminated people depending on their race and disability status and there are malicious chatbots have widespread erroneous information, They have professed their love for users either They have sexually harassed minors“That is precisely what Sonny tries to avoid. How is it possible? In principle, as they explain from the company, Sonny has a team of people with “experience in psychology, social work and online support” that supervise and even rewrite the Bot responses. Each technician supervises between 15 and 25 chats at the same time. It is the form that has HEALTH mental soundthe company behind the app, to avoid the great original sin of the LLM: its tendency to delir, fantasize and give advice that may not be correct. In addition, the hybrid chatbot is designed to notify parents and teachers to the slightest possibility of danger (either for oneself or for others). Have you solved the problem? The truth is that we do not know (because there are no studies on it), but it is honestly unlikely that they have achieved it: we are in a very early phase as for trust that all associated problems are resolved. But it is a radical step. As Abrams said, It is possible that “psychologists and their abilities are irreplaceable”, but since the arrival of AI is inevitable we have to bet on a “reflexive and strategic implementation.” Something that, indeed, is very similar to saying anything. There is much that we still do not know and, therefore, making concrete predictions is dangerous. What is clear is that the question is not if we will have gpteraputas, we already have them. The question is how we can use them to Not worsening the attention that is being given today (a temptation always preset) and turn them into a key tool to reduce human suffering. Let’s hope to answer it soon. Image | Dream / Sigmund In Xataka | 50 years of research on depression psychotherapy leave a surprising fact: we have not improved anything

The lyrics of his students were no longer understood

by

If someone sensed that the digitalization of in teaching was going to be an easy way surely at this point has changed their minds. The introduction of digital in schools seems to be oriented by the old test and error method and the last example has been found in a Catalan school. A new step back. A Catalan school, the Escola Pia de Caldes de Montbui, in Barcelona, ​​has been the last educational center to announce that it turned back in its way to digitalization in the classrooms, according to The newspaper advanced The country. Perhaps the most striking in this case is the reason adduced by the center: the students “reached ESO and the lyrics were not understood.” The strategic twist of the center was also due to other factors in addition to the aforementioned worsening in students’ calligraphy. According to the saying to the environment, they had detected problems such as difficulties when devising titles, saving margins or the mere fact of facing a blank sheet. In addition, students also showed signs of early tired when they should write for some time. As reported, the transition plan implied the delay in the incorporation of computers, first until fifth of primary and later to Secondary. Matteries and activities with computers in favor of paper and pen would also be reduced. Trial and error. The case is another example of something that has become usual, that of the back in the introduction of digital in the classrooms. A reverse sometimes starring educational centers and others, For the same public administrations. Bringing new technologies to students is not a simple task as many have discovered. Getting digital tools to complement and not replace other capacities is difficult. Also necessary. There is no standardized way to introduce these resources, which implies that many times the teaching teams end up giving blind sticks and experiencing until they find with the ideal formula with the old test and error method. Learning lessons. However, there are those who already take notes of this. UNICEF, the United Nations Agency dedicated to childhood protection created A decalogue with considerations to take into account when implementing new technologies in schools. Duties accumulate. While the debate on how to introduce digital resources into the classrooms occurs, technology advances and creates new challenges that add to those we have not yet faced. Artificial intelligence is a clear and recent example of this. In Xataka | Years ago Mexico opted to offer longer school days for children. Caused an increase in divorces Image | Adam Sondel

The number of students copying their assignments from ChatGPT results is growing

by

A recent investigation of Pew Research Center has revealed that the 26% of teenagers in the United States use ChatGPT to do their schoolworkdoubling the 13% recorded in 2023. This increase highlights the growing integration of artificial intelligence tools in educational environments. Demographic differences in ChatGPT usage The study points to significant variations in the use of ChatGPT by race and ethnicity. Both black and Hispanic adolescents reported 31% usecompared to 22% of white adolescents. This trend represents a notable change from the previous year, where the percentages were similar between groups: 11% for whites and 13% and 11% for blacks and Hispanics, respectively. Besides, students in higher grades show a greater propensity to use ChatGPT. 31% of 11th and 12th graders reported using it, compared to 20% of 7th and 8th graders. No significant differences were observed in terms of gender or family income. Perceptions on the acceptability of using ChatGPT Adolescents’ opinions on the acceptability of using ChatGPT vary depending on the academic task. 54% consider it appropriate to use it to research new topics, while only 18% see it appropriate to write essays. Regarding solving mathematical problems, 29% approve and 28% disapprove. These perceptions reflect ongoing discussions about the ethics and role of artificial intelligence in education. Familiarity with ChatGPT directly influences its use. Of the total number of teens surveyed, 79% have heard of the tool, up from 67% in 2023. Among those who have heard a lot about ChatGPT, 56% have used it for schoolwork, up from 18%. of those who have limited knowledge. This increase in ChatGPT use among teens underscores the need for educators and parents to understand and address the impact of artificial intelligence on learning. As these tools become more integrated into academic life, it is essential to establish clear guidelines on their ethical and effective use.
