Child's death devastated family
IT has been a year since 15-year-old Afnan Jasim from Thikkodi made a remarkable recovery from primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a rare and deadly disease with a staggering 97% mortality rate. Afnan's journey was nothing short of miraculous, and his story is a testament to the power of hope, resilience, and exceptional medical care.
He was discharged from the hospital on July 22, 2024. He spent 22 days in ICU, fighting for his life, and the experience left an indelible mark on his life. Afnan, who was a Class 10 student last year, scored 5 A Plus, 3 A Grade and 2 B Plus in the SSLC exam this year. Now he is studying in Plus One. Despite the challenges he faced, Afnan emerged stronger and more determined than ever.

The Alpha School Project: A Daring Innovation
The Alpha Schools enterprise is a highly innovative experiment in school education in the US that commenced in 2014 based essentially on the use of AI. It is a bold departure from the traditional. Its essential features focus on personalised learning, efficiency, and holistic development. Founded in Austin, Texas, the Alpha School challenges the conventional modelwhere students endure lengthy lectures across fragmented subjects-by reallocating time to AI-powered learning and essential life skills. This for-profit private institution is crafting footprints in other cities. It also plans potential charter school integrations for broader access. It has at the same time sparked a debate: Is it a transformative force or a fleeting experiment?
