A Palestinian school teacher won a $US1 million education award to applause from world leaders for her approach to teaching children through play.
Hanan Al Hroub, who teaches at the Samiha Khalil High School in the West Bank Palestinian city of Al-Bireh, was presented with the award in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Pope Francis announced the winner in a video message to the ceremony, which was chaired by UAE Prime Minister and Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. A child has the right to play, he said. Part of the education is to teach children how to play, because you learn how to be social through games and you learn the joy of life.

While we have little or no hope that the War party s administration (nominally) under Biden will be more honorable or less sociopathic than Trump s repugnant regime, it is hard to imagine it will have figures as stunningly odious as Mike Pompeo, one of he great criminals of our time, as is his nominal boss. Unprincipled and opportunistic to a fault, these two individuals are political malignancies of the first order, but, again, they did not spring on the political scene out of nowhere, their enablers were the Democrats, the same bunch that now has the audacity to strut around pretending to be made of a different, superior moral fabric.
