中国朋友助柬学生告别“流水席”式课堂******
中新社柬埔寨干拉省1月12日电 题:中国朋友助柬学生告别“流水席”式课堂
作者 欧阳开宇 余湘珺
干净的课桌,粉刷过的新墙,透过窗户的充足光线……柬埔寨干拉省安龙达塞中学学生波兰梅走进新校舍,“连心情也变明亮了”。
1月上旬,中国云南省援柬埔寨干拉省安龙达塞中学教学设施项目启用,当地师生们终于有了属于自己的新校室。新课堂第一天,波兰梅与同学们身穿白色衬衫、黑色半裙这一柬埔寨学生的经典校服套装,早早就来到学校开启“新鲜的上学体验”。
安龙达塞中学2014年成立,由于没有校舍,只能借用当地小学的教室。小学一共15个教室。小学用10个,中学借用5个,学生们像“吃流水席”一样上课——七年级的学生上午用完教室,八年级的学生下午再来用。
“这一天我们盼了9年!”安龙达塞中学校长邓索卡向中新社记者说道,此前学生们没有固定的教室,安排教学很不方便。
邓索卡说,新学校启用前,当地很多学生上学需求无法得到满足,一部分学生只能去10公里以外的中学上课。早上7时上课,不到5时就得起床,骑1个多小时自行车到学校。一些家长甚至因为担心孩子的安全而让孩子辍学。
即便有机会就读,学生的体验也不太好。邓索卡回忆说,30多年前,他就是在这里上的小学,只不过那时还是木质房屋,用树枝围起来的篱笆做了个简易围墙。1997年,小学重新翻修,有了现在的砖瓦房,但也年久失修,桌椅板凳老化严重,黑板、教具、卫生间等设施都较为简陋。
体育课的活动场地更为局促。邓索卡说,体育课分为理论和实践两部分,通常让学生们到教室外的空地上做体操。但由于学生多、空地少,院子里还停满了摩托车、自行车,只能腾出一小块地方。遇上雨天,低洼的地方被淹,“很多学生都带着一身泥回家”。
“现在好了,我们不但有了自己的教学楼,而且一切都是新的——新的课桌、黑板、灯光,学生们还收到捐赠的新书包,现在上课都更有劲儿了。”邓索卡说,感谢中国朋友们解决这里乡村学校教学资源老化,教育环境差的问题,为安龙达塞村及附近村镇的村民提供了更好的教学环境。
该教学设施由中国云南省人民政府出资,云南省商务厅管理,委托云南省建设投资控股集团有限公司实施。教学楼面积约400平方米,包含6间能容纳50名学生的教室及桌椅、白板等配套设施,学校还修建了围墙及内部道路供学生们活动。
新学校启用当天,柬埔寨副首相兼外交大臣布拉索昆专程到现场参加仪式,向学生们发放学习用品,并与师生们交流。布拉索昆告诉学生,要记得是中国朋友帮助他们建设了新课堂,要多做促进柬中交流的事,珍惜这份特殊的友谊。
“中国政府高度重视同柬埔寨的教育合作,除帮助柬埔寨改善基础教育环境外,每年还提供大量奖学金名额。”中国驻柬埔寨使馆公使衔参赞常健也鼓励学生们好好学习,将来去中国留学,做中柬友好的维护者。
新操场上,同学们纷纷领取新书包,互相分享着喜悦。“学校离家近,比以前要节约40分钟,中午能回去吃午饭、小睡一会儿,下午上课不再是‘瞌睡虫’了。”波兰梅与小伙伴手拉手走在新校园中,笑靥如花。(完)
中新网评:处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称,将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对,企图将核污水“一倒了之”,把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
资料图:日本福岛第一核电站。2011年,福岛核电站事故发生后,大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋,对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害,数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日,作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由,在2021年4月13日,正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多,日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称,这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全,甚至“可以喝”,这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上,经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质,核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收,长期来看,将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁,最终危害人类健康。
因此,核污水排海计划推出后,遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示,福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中,约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场,反对该计划。
日本政府认为,核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案,但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海,核污水会随着洋流流动,其影响势必会跨越国界,危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称,相关研究认为,福岛核污水如果排放入海,约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域,该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告,若日本将所有核污水排入海中,不到半年,整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁,包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国,有义务保护海洋环境。然而,在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上,日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估,但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论,并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下,日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设,这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道,日本必须正视各方合理关切,在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后,制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远,若只顾眼前,执意将核污水排放入海,不仅其自身,周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单,其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
