BEIJING, March 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "33 million families have received child-rearing subsidies" and "an integrated elderly care service network covering urban and rural areas has taken initial shape"... At the press conference for the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) on people's livelihood, the performance sheets from multiple departments were filled with meticulous care for "the elderly and children." The "elderly" are our treasure, and the "children" embody our future. "The elderly and children" are the softest spot of every family - and they are also a key concern for the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, has always kept them close to his heart. In communities, schools, and ordinary people's homes, he has repeatedly chatted with seniors about family life and held hands with children. We should "create better conditions" for the elderly "to enjoy happy and fulfilling twilight years." "We need to strengthen efforts in the nurturing and education of children"... These earnest instructions warm the heart, reflecting the values of a major Party and a great nation, and mirroring the warm journey of improving people's livelihood. At this year's "two sessions," policies have been further strengthened. "Upgrade elderly care, childcare" has been written into the Government Work Report, while announcements at press conferences - such as "upgrading and renovating 2,000 public elderly care institutions" and "supporting the establishment of at least one comprehensive child care service center in each prefecture-level city" - turn every policy into smiles on the faces of ordinary people. How can this be achieved? It all comes down to execution. Good policies paired with solid implementation are the key code to China's governance - seizing the present while winning the future. In recent years, rural areas in Southwest China's Yunnan Province have faced new challenges and difficulties in caring for left-behind elderly and children, particularly in daily life support, healthcare access, and emotional companionship. How to address them? Yunnan has approached caring for "the elderly and children" with the same intensity as poverty alleviation, making it a major livelihood priority under the joint responsibility of "five levels of Party secretaries" province-wide. This has created a normalized working mechanism with clear leadership, dedicated implementation, and accountability follow-up, continuously yielding substantial results for people's livelihood. A hot meal, a medical visit, a moment of companionship, a class session... From policies that "touch the heart" to implementation that "reaches the heart," the approaches have become more detailed, the requirements more concrete, and the focus more precise. By persistently tackling the livelihood challenges of "the elderly and children," we can transform the worries weighing on hundreds of millions of families into sources of warmth. It relies on innovation. By optimizing resource allocation and fostering coordinated reforms, sustained innovation has transformed "dilemmas" into "win-wins." In Shenzhen's Dapeng New District "elderly and children" service center, on one side, seniors are trying out smart mobility aids; on the other, toddlers in daycare are enjoying outdoor play. A sharp-eyed little granddaughter spots her grandmother across the way and breaks into a smile. This heartwarming moment, captured in the tender intergenerational bond, showcases the innovative effects of "intergenerational integration, spatial consolidation, service bundling, and multi-role staffing." Across the country, new models benefiting "the elderly and children" are emerging one after another. This inspires us that by adapting to local conditions and implementing creatively, we can unlock greater livelihood dividends with smaller resource inputs. It relies on tapping potential. The process of improving people's well-being is also one of uncovering drivers for economic growth and new dynamics. At the livelihood-themed press conference, several fresh terms and figures caught attention: the inclusion of "elderly care service specialists" as a new occupation; during the Spring Festival holiday, the number of passengers aged 60 and above buying their "first-ever flight ticket" on certain platforms rose by more than 20 percent... These show that elderly care is not just a livelihood issue - it can also become a growth point for new jobs and new consumption, injecting "silver-haired vitality" into economic expansion. "The elderly and children" represent both a social issue and a topic for economic growth. By promoting integrated "property management + domestic services" models, "temporary children" and "stand-in parents" have become highly popular; smart caregiving robots are easing the burden of caring for disabled seniors... By leveraging the livelihood needs of "the elderly and children" to open up new spaces for industrial development, while using industrial innovations to effectively address their urgent difficulties and concerns, we can achieve the virtuous cycle of developing industries to improve people's well-being and advancing development through better livelihoods. "The elderly and children" concern the well-being of millions of families. When we take good care of the elderly and nurture children with dedication, the superiority of the socialist system will be further demonstrated, and China's socioeconomic development will continue to brighten its foundation of people's livelihood.

SINGAPORE, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The ASEAN Foundation organized the regional programme "CALM MRI – Fear to Confidence: Learning through Play with LEGO MRI Kits Programme", implemented across Indonesia and Singapore. The initiative serves as a platform to present the programme's outcomes, which aim to help children better understand Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) procedures through a play-based learning approach. Designed to reduce anxiety and build familiarity, CALM MRI introduces children to the MRI process using specially designed LEGO® MRI kits. By transforming a complex medical procedure into an interactive and child-friendly experience, the programme supports young patients in approaching hospital examinations with greater confidence and emotional preparedness. In one session, a young boy stood a few steps away from the demonstration table, quietly observing the miniature MRI model built from LEGO bricks. The shape was instantly recognizable to him — the white tunnel, the narrow bed, the enclosed space. For many children, an MRI machine can feel overwhelming due to its confined structure and unfamiliar sounds. Instead of pressure, the facilitators offered patience. A volunteer gently invited him to try sliding the small model bed into the LEGO MRI tunnel, replicating what typically happens during a hospital scan. Hesitant at first, he slowly stepped forward. He touched the model, pushed the bed inward, and then pulled it back out — this time in a setting that felt safe, controlled, and understandable. Moments like this reflect the core objective of CALM MRI: shifting children's perception of MRI procedures from fear to familiarity. Through guided play, clear explanations, and hands-on interaction, the programme enables children not only to recognize the equipment they may encounter but to regain a sense of agency in situations that often feel intimidating. By combining education, healthcare awareness, and experiential learning, the ASEAN Foundation continues to demonstrate how regional collaboration can deliver practical, human-centered solutions that improve children's healthcare experiences across Southeast Asia. A Program That Transformed Children's Relationships with MRI Machines This experience occurred during one of the CALM MRI – Fear to Confidence: Learning through Play with LEGO MRI Scanners Program sessions, run in Singapore by the ASEAN Youth Organization as the local implementing partner. This program, part of a regional initiative led by the ASEAN Foundation with support from LEGO Group and United Way Worldwide, aims to help children understand MRI procedures through a play-based educational approach. In Singapore, the program focused on hands-on interaction sessions between children, parents, and trained volunteers. Children were introduced to the LEGO MRI model, encouraged to assemble it, and given simple explanations of how the medical procedure works. The changes weren't always dramatic. They often came in simple forms: a previously quiet child began asking questions. A child who had previously resisted approaching began trying to touch the model. A child who had previously cried began listening. In its final report, the implementing partner in Singapore explained that the educational sessions allowed children to interact directly with the MRI model, assemble it, and discuss its parts and functions. This process helped transform their perception of the MRI machine from something completely foreign to something understandable. Volunteers not only helped the children assemble the models but also explained in simple terms why an MRI scan was necessary and how the procedure was performed. This program is part of a broader regional initiative. Children from neighboring Indonesia are also participating. Overall, in Indonesia and Singapore, the CALM MRI program has distributed 648 LEGO MRI sets—324 sets for each country—to nine implementing partners, working with more than 20 hospitals, educational institutions, healthcare institutions, and children's organizations. It has also conducted over 50 educational sessions, reaching over 1,000 beneficiaries. These figures reflect a systematic effort to introduce a play-based educational approach into the context of pediatric healthcare, particularly in preparing children for this often anxiety-inducing procedure. In Singapore, the program is implemented through coordination between local implementing partners, volunteers, and the healthcare facilities involved. Educational sessions typically take place in small groups, ensuring each child receives adequate individual attention. Children were introduced to MRI models, encouraged to assemble and play with them, and allowed to ask questions. The report stated that this approach helped create a more relaxed atmosphere and allowed children to understand medical procedures in an age-appropriate way. For parents, these sessions provided something they had previously struggled with: explaining medical procedures concretely to their children. Large and complex MRI machines are often difficult to explain with words alone. With LEGO models, parents could demonstrate firsthand how the procedure works, giving children a clearer picture. Implementing partners noted that these interactions also helped strengthen communication between children and parents and reduce the uncertainty previously felt by families. For healthcare professionals, pre-MRI education has practical benefits. MRI examinations require a stable and sedentary environment for accurate scan results. Children who are not emotionally prepared are more likely to experience problems.
Bold curriculum update empowers children to think critically, act responsibly and shape, not just consume, technology CAMBRIDGE, England, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As digital literacy moves to the forefront of education reforms worldwide, the International Education group at Cambridge University Press & Assessment (Cambridge) today announces a major transformation of its Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary Digital Literacy curricula, redefining what it means for young people to thrive in an AI-powered world. Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary Digital Literacy curricula goes beyond teaching children how to use technology Designed for learners aged 5–14, the updated Cambridge Primary Digital Literacy and Lower Secondary Digital Literacy go beyond teaching children how to use technology. They foster digital maturity, equipping students with the judgement, critical thinking and confidence to decide why, when and how technology should be used. The refreshed curricula provide schools with a clear, future-facing framework that empowers learners to retain agency in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. New content ranges from online wellbeing to prioritising human intelligence in the age of AI while exploring the challenges and the value that AI can bring to their lives and education. Focus shifts from mastering individual tools to building adaptable, transferable skills to enable learners not only to navigate misinformation and online harms, but to actively shape the technologies influencing their education and their futures. What's new? The updated curriculum explores how AI can support multimodal communication across different audiences and platforms, and how structured dialogue with AI systems can deepen research, inquiry and critical thinking. At the same time, it strengthens media literacy and reinforces students' ownership and understanding of their work. New and updated topics in the curricula include: Online safety and cyberbullying – protection of physical and emotional wellbeing Community building and collaboration – using digital and AI tools Source-reliability and echo chambers – evaluation of AI-sourced information Personal responsibility while embracing digital and AI tools Human and artificial intelligence – how to differentiate and when to use Parasocial and digital relationships – understanding their personal impact Creation of learning outputs while remaining the primary author – such as reports and presentations Future-ready learners – evaluating the technology of the future Learning in today's digital world Curriculum author Beverly Clarke MBE said: "It is essential that educators across all subject areas support young learners to think deeply and critically about AI and their relationship to it. This revised Cambridge curriculum supports schools to engage with AI in a positive, proactive and informed way, embedding age-appropriate content that empowers learners to develop confidence, curiosity and critical thinking as they navigate an increasingly AI-enabled world." Nadja Djordjevic, Digital Literacy Teacher at Savremena osnovna škola, Belgrade, Serbia, was given a first look at the refreshed Lower Secondary curriculum. She said: "I especially appreciate the inclusion of risks such as increased plagiarism due to AI development, and the emphasis on personal ethics for both creators and AI engineers. I see this value as crucial within the creative world – it helps position AI as a supportive tool and at the same time preserve human authenticity and expression." Teaching and assessing Schools can teach Digital Literacy as a separate subject or embed the content within other subjects, depending on approach and timetabling. For example, schools could compare the value of thinking and working mathematically against cognitive offloading to AI. There is no formal assessment of the curricula. Learners receive formative feedback through discussion and observation. It is vital that learners demonstrate ownership and understanding of the work that they produce, particularly where AI has been used. The curricula are free of charge to registered schools that offer Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary and are ready for teaching immediately.
