MA XUEJING/CHINA DAILY Parents are using every means available to boost their children's test results. Zhao Xinying reports. Of the many children Chen Hongwei has taught and helped study at home, one 12-year-old boy stands out as special. Despite his youth, the boy had won awards as a hockey player and had an excellent academic record at school. "He looked very mature for his age. He was ambitious, strong and independent," Chen recalled. During the time she spent with the boy, she realized that his "success" came from a combination of the guidance offered by his mother and his self-discipline. His mother gave him a very tight and specific timetable, right down to the last minute, which, in Chen's eyes, would have been difficult for an adult to stick to every day. No matter, the boy managed it. "If I had been that efficient and self-disciplined at his age, I would have been far more successful," she said. Now a senior student of English at a university in Beijing, Chen … [Read more...] about Tutors on front line of home education

The subtle briefings were designed to give Prince Harry the softest possible landing on his arrival back in the UK ahead of his beloved grandfather’s funeral on Saturday (local time). From sources suggesting he was “united in grief” with the rest of the Royal family following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, to the couple’s unofficial spokesman Omid Scobie insisting – should anyone be in doubt – that “Harry was incredibly close to Philip”, the Sussex spin machine was in evidence as the displaced Prince prepared for his first transatlantic flight in 13 months. Members of the Royal family also sought to calm serves ahead of what is feared could be a difficult reunion for the House of Windsor, with a palace source suggesting that the Prince of Wales was particularly looking forward to seeing his youngest son. “It’s been more than a year,” they pointed out. Yet with Harry, 36, due back in the royal fold without his pregnant wife, Meghan, who will not be flying over from LA on … [Read more...] about As Prince Harry returns to UK, behind the scenes grief has not erased Royal Family tensions

'Mamata is synonymous with Bengal, its culture, language, traditions.' IMAGE: Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee addresses an election rally at Baruipur in South 24 Parganas. Photograph: PTI Photo Chandrima Bhattacharya straddles multiple portfolios in the Mamata Banerjee government. She is minister of state for housing (independent charge), health and family welfare, land and land reforms and refugee relief and rehabilitation, panchayats and rural development. At a time when the West Bengal chief minister has lost many leaders -- MLAs, MPs, gram and zilla parishad leaders, grassroots members -- Bhattacharya has never wavered from her allegiance to the party and its chief. She is contesting from the Dum Dum (North) seat this election and reports say a bigger portfolio and more responsibility await her if Mamata scores a hat-trick. Bhattacharya is also president of the Trinamool Mahila Congress, a spokesperson for the party and a member of its core … [Read more...] about ‘We believe in only one leader and that is Mamata’
