Turkmenistan Proposes Adding Neutrality to the Agenda of the 80th UN General Assembly Session
24 Sep. 06:22During his speech at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov proposed adding a new agenda item titled "Neutrality for the Sake of Peace and Security."
He noted that this initiative reflects a growing global recognition of the importance of neutrality as a practical tool for peacebuilding and maintaining international stability. According to the President, neutrality should be viewed not just as a legal status but as an active diplomatic instrument.
Turkmenistan, he added, will soon submit a draft resolution entitled "The Role and Importance of the Policy of Neutrality in Promoting International Peace, Security, and Sustainable Development."

Detroit High School Students Eligible for Up to $1,000 for Perfect Attendance
23 Aug. 18:09High school students in Detroit, Michigan, who maintain consistent school attendance can earn up to $1,000 in electronic gift cards. According to Fox News, high schoolers receive a $100 digital gift card for every week of uninterrupted class attendance. Students can earn $400 across four weeks, with total incentives reaching up to $1,000 during the 10-week winter period.
The attendance incentive model demonstrated strong results between January and March 2026, when approximately 12,800 high school students—representing 84% of the district's high school population—qualified for the payments. Concurrently, chronic absenteeism dropped from 64% to 54%. Following this success, the program has been extended through the 2026–2027 academic year and expanded to include students in grades 6–8, who will receive $50 for each week of full attendance.
The school district allocated $13.9 million from its overall budget to combat unexcused absences. The program maintains strict criteria: a single unexcused absence during any given school week forfeits the student's eligibility for that week's reward.
