The coronavirus’s rapid spread through schools in the Netherlands has prompted some experts to call for extending this winter’s Christmas break. In an article on Thursday, one immunologist, Ger Rijkers, told the newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, “Children are little virus factories and infect each other as well as adults.”

Afghanistan's universities now officially segregated by sex
Women in Afghanistan will be allowed to study in universities as the country seeks to rebuild after decades of war — but segregation by sex and a dress code will be mandatory, the Taliban's new higher education minister said on Sunday.
The minister, Abdul Baqi Haqqani, said the new Taliban government, named last week, would "start building the country on what exists today" and did not want to turn the clock back 20 years to when the movement was last in power.
He said female students would be taught by women wherever possible and classrooms would remain separated, in accordance with the movement's interpretation of Shariah law.
"Thanks to God we have a high number of women teachers. We will not face any problems in this. All efforts will be made to find and provide women teachers for female students," he told a news conference in Kabul.
Note EU-Digets: This is not unique for Afghanistan. Many Muslim countries who practice Sharia Law, including Saudi Arabia, a close ally of the US and many Western countries, which sell them billions of Dollars and Euros of weapons, have segragated places of learning.

The Netherlands to trial rapid and home coronavirus tests
Extensive research has already shown that these types of coronavirus tests are effective and reliable, and now 10 short-term trials will be used to determine whether their large-scale use is realistic or practical.
Eight of the 10 pilots will take place at educational institutions in Groningen, Delft, Amsterdam, Nijmegen, Eindhoven, Utrecht and Rotterdam, while the last two will take place at the fire station at Schiphol Airport and a private company. All trials will be supervised by Dutch hospitals and universities.

EU: Netherlands schools will have plastic screens fitted on desks as they begin to reopen next week
Students are going back to school in the
Netherlands as staff prepare measures including putting plastic shields
around desks to prevent coronavirus spreading.
Staff have installed disinfectant gel dispensers at the doorways at the Springplank school in Den Bosch and many others.
New
infections in the Netherlands have been declining for weeks and the
government announced a schedule to relax some of its lockdown measures
on Wednesday, with elementary schools to reopen on May 11.
'Our teachers are not worried,' said Rascha van der Sluijs, the school's technical coordinator..
While schools have been closed since March
14, many including the Springplank have remained open with skeleton
staff for a handful of students whose parents work in essential
sectors.
Most of these pupils whose parents work in sectors such as healthcare have been taking classes online.
Each district is setting its own policies for reopening, with many
planning to accept students only on alternate days and some teachers
wearing medical masks.
There have been 42,093 confirmed cases of
the coronavirus in the Netherlands, with 5,359 deaths, according to data
from the National Institute for Health.
Of those, 1.3 per cent of infections and one death were registered among people under 20 years old.
High schools are not due to open until June.
At
the Springplank, younger students will use one entrance and older
students a different one. Parents will have to drop their children at
the gate.
Ms Van der Sluijs said: 'What we're worried about is the adults.'
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said: 'To start, children in primary schools will attend school half of the time.
'For
example, one day one half of the pupils, the other day the other half.
The starting date for all schools and day cares is 11 May.'

The Netherlands - Islam: Dutch Children from Turkish descent Forced to Submit to Islam
Parents in the Netherlands can't stop their children from being indoctrinated with Islam against their wishes.
A new report from Cultuur onder Vuur (Culture Under Fire) documents evidence from hundreds of cases where children in Dutch schools are instructed by an imam on how to pray and how schools are taking measures to hide these trips from parents.
Church Militant spoke with Hugo Bos, the campaign leader for Culture Under Fire, who said they started investigating Islamic indoctrination in Dutch schools after they found one video of a school trip to a mosque.
"We found it very shocking," he said. "We found proof of 19 cases where children took part in Islamic rites."
Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, told Bos that when children pray at these mosque excursions, it is "exercise in Islamic dawah" — a form of proselytism. From the Muslim perspective, these children are "purposefully prepared for converting to Islam."
One of the cases from 2014 involves elementary school children who were taken to a mosque in Zwolle. That mosque hosted the hate-preaching Pakistani imam, Mohammed Anas Noorani Siddiqui. Siddiqui reportedly said, "Non-Muslim Dutch people live like dogs and b*****s."
They found other mosques children had visited had allegations of extremism and anti-Semitism and ties to the Turkish nationalist movement and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's AK Party.
Last year, Erdogan called on Muslim Turks to have five children and "educate your children at better schools."
Bos noted a survey found three-quarters of Catholic and Protestant schools visited a non-Christian place of worship. In 41 percent of those cases, it was a mosque.
Additionally, parents are often not informed of the field trips and schools take steps to hide the information from the public. Oftentimes, Bos found that the school would take down the information from their website after parents complained or they were contacted by him.
"The government has made goals for education that include respect for other religions," Bos said. The curriculum includes spiritual direction, yoga, meditation and visiting a church. In practice, Bos found little to no efforts being made to take Muslim students to non-Islamic places of worship.
