The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many things this year, and college is no different. The number of students who attended a college or university this year was down 22 percent nationally compared with 2019, according to thejournal.com, and many have attended remotely. The experiences of three local college students illustrates the unusual nature of higher education this school year.
When Nadia Scoppettone graduated from Montpelier High School in the fall, she was enrolled in Amherst College. When the college announced that they would be partly virtual this year, Scoppettone decided that transferring to UVM would ultimately be a better fit. Amherst had 950 of the 1800 total students in residence for fall 2020. The remote option would allow Scopperttone a similar learning experience and be significantly more affordable.

A quirk in Government retirement rules has denied many retirees a full state pension

Thousands of British pensioners from the Windrush generation have been denied their state pension in full, and continue to miss out on tens of thousands of pounds.
Many from the Caribbean who came to work in Britain in the 1940s, 50s and 60s to help plug a skills shortage, and who have since returned home, have found their state pensions frozen.
There are more than 510,000 retirees worldwide with state pensions that will never rise in value. Retirees in Britain and certain countries, where there is a reciprocal agreement including the EU and America, receive annual increases under the “triple lock”. This has led to unusual rules in the Caribbean, where British pensioners living in Jamaica or Barbados see their pensions increase every year.
