Ruth Rikowski's 56th News Update

Education Crisis
This newsletter is short. My health is still suffering, following on from the fracture of my wrist in the summer. Unfortunately, the injury has had various knock-on effects on other parts of my body, which I am still trying to recover from. Hopefully, will get there in the end! A shortened version of this newsletter will now be distributed 3 times a year. Meanwhile, here a few short news items.
