Video: Massive fire breaks out on ferry in Indonesia's open sea
A fire broke out on board the KM3 Barcelona ferry while sailing in the waters of North Sulawesi province in Indonesia. According to a circulating video, passengers jumped into the sea to escape the raging flames. Hours after the shocking video circulated, the Indonesian Navy announced the safe evacuation of all passengers on board the KM3 Barcelona ferry. 'All passengers were safely evacuated,' Vice Admiral Denih Hendrata, commander of the naval fleet, told the Indonesian news agency Antara. The commander of the 8th Naval Base in Manado, May Franky Pasuna Sihombing, confirmed that teams were able to rescue 280 passengers, but three of them died from illnesses, not from the fire. He added, 'Rescue teams are continuing to inspect the ship to ensure it is free of any other passengers.'

Ministry of Education opens applications for trainee teachers at Egyptian-Japanese Schools - Society
The Ministry of Education has begun accepting applications for the role of Trainee Teacher at Egyptian-Japanese Schools (EJS), marking the first time the position has been offered. The post is available for a period of one to two academic years. Applicants aged 21 to 23 can apply through a dedicated online portal for 15 days. Candidates will be evaluated based on specific criteria, including motivation for teaching and creative potential in educational settings. According to a ministry statement, selected trainees will receive intensive technical and personal assessments to identify the most qualified and prepared individuals. Successful candidates will undergo practical training and receive continuous academic and technical support to enhance their professional capabilities and adopt modern teaching methodologies in an interactive learning environment. The initiative introduces a new pathway for recent graduates to gain real-world classroom experience while being immersed in an advanced educational model aligned with international standards for teacher preparation. The Ministry described the move as a significant addition to its teacher qualification system and a reflection of the EJS model's commitment to nurturing educators with both academic and pedagogical competence. Egyptian-Japanese Schools follow the Japanese Tokkatsu philosophy, which emphasizes holistic student development, cooperation, discipline, and responsibility through daily integrated educational activities. In May, the Ministry announced that 11 new EJS schools will open for the 2025/2026 academic year, raising the total to 69 across the country. The EJS initiative was launched in 2016 following President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi's visit to Japan, which led to a strategic partnership with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to support the development of 100 schools with Japanese expertise and funding.
