On March 2, 2021, the Department of State issued updated guidance on the National Interest Exception (NIE) for the COVID-related travel ban to the United States from individuals who are in the Schengen Area, the U.K. or Ireland. This guidance restricts eligibility for an NIE waiver of the travel ban.
By way of background, the Schengen travel ban was implemented in a Proclamation issued by President Trump on March 13, 2020. This travel ban requires that individuals present in the Schengen Area, the U.K. or Ireland either obtain a waiver of the ban, or quarantine in a third country for 14 days prior to entering the United States. There are a number of individuals who are exempt from this ban. For additional information on the Schengen travel ban, please visit our prior alert.
IN the weeks to come The Star’s Newspaper-in-Education (Star-NiE) programme will present a collection of stories donated by The Straits Times newspaper of Singapore for use by teachers and students in the classroom.
The stories chosen are classic legends, myths, fables and folklore from around the world rewritten as modern news or feature stories.
Young readers and adults will enjoy reading the likes of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Hamlet, and Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein in a modern news format. But these stories are not just good yarns.
They touch the soul, nourish the mind, and give readers a better sense of their place in the world. By studying the plots and characters, readers can make the stories a part of their lives.The tale behind the story
