NC needs to do more for its fast-growing Hispanic student population, group says

More than 300,000 Hispanic students are enrolled in the state’s public schools, accounting for one in five public school students. For example, 82% of Hispanic students graduate high school in four years, the lowest of all demographic groups measured. Most Hispanic students, if they attend college, would be the first in their family to do so. To prevent social isolation of Hispanic students, the group recommends educational materials that include Hispanic culture and training on working across cultures and implicit bias. But Hispanic students are underrepresented at colleges, especially those who are undocumented, in part because of the high cost of tuition and struggles to commute to college.

Toyota unveils ‘electrification’ management team with EV focus

TOKYO – The next president at Japan’s top automaker Toyota, Koji Sato, introduced a management team Monday that he said will lead an aggressive push on electric vehicles. Hiroki Nakajima, who now oversees mid-size vehicles, was named executive vice president overseeing technology. The selection of Sato, now Toyota’s chief branding officer, as the next chief executive was announced last month. The electric vehicles Toyota offers can’t be just more EVs to keep up with the times, but “must answer the question of what kind of EV Toyota can offer,” he said. With its management reshuffle, Toyota’s chief executive and president, Akio Toyoda, who is grandson of the company’s founder, becomes its chairman.

Important steps to consider today to retire in style

The other shows your retirement income period in which withdrawals are being made to fund your retirement. Both sides of the equation are vital to get a true grasp of retirement goals and possibilities. Brokerage accounts are also less restrictive than Individual Retirement Accounts or 401(k) accounts.

Campaigners in Germany have worked for decades to establish an official ceremony to commemorate the LGBTQ victims persecuted under the Nazi regime.
