Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (AHN) – Manitoba Education Minister Nancy Allan announced Thursday the province will push for a new law that would increase the truancy age to 18. That means young residents would be required to acquire an education or training until they reach 18.

Allan said the change was necessary because of global educational and work benchmarks going higher and that a high school diploma is often not sufficient to acquire a good job or carve a successful career.

Allan said in a statement, “Success in the modern economy will be dependent on students having every opportunity to pursue post-secondary education, training and apprenticeships. Those opportunities are lost when a young person does not have a high-school diploma or equivalent. Raising the compulsory education age to 18 will help ensure kids stay in school and are well prepared for life beyond the classroom.”

The current law in Manitoba requires students to remain in school until they reach 16. While the present truancy age has yielded an improvement in high school graduation rate to 80.9 percent in 2009 from 72.4 percent in 2001, Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger said the planned change should not be seen as dictating to the youth what they should do, but as helping them become successful in life.

Ontario and New Brunswick were the first Canadian provinces to adjust upward their truancy age to 18 in 2006. Alberta will discuss a similar measure this weekend. Nova Scotia is mulling a similar policy.

Paris, France (AHN) – Despite weeks of strikes and protests across the nation, French lawmakers on Wednesday passed President Nicolas Sarkozy’s fiercely-contested pension reforms in the National Assembly. The law will increase the minimum retirement age to 62 years old. According to a presidential advisor, Sarkozy will publish the law in an official gazette around November 15.

The approval came just a day before unionists planned one of the biggest strikes, which could bring the country to halt again. The ninth biggest strike is called for Thursday, which will include protest marches and strikes in over 100 towns and cities, while tenth day of family rallies is to be staged on November 6.

Prime Minister Francois Fillion has called on the countrymen to respect the law and bring themselves out of the current crisis. His comments came at a time when Socialists threatened to take the matter before the Constitutional Court.

“Everyone should know how to come out of this protest with responsibility and a mutual respect,” Fillon said.

Supporting the pension reform plan, Fillion said that increasing the legal retirement age was an important step aimed at protecting the welfare system in the face of the effect of demographic aging.

“Our fellow citizens can view the future of their pensions with more confidence,” he added. However, Socialist lawmaker Marisol Touraine was apparently not convinced with the proposal as she said it punishes the poor.

“You’ve spoken a lot about courage,” Touraine told Labour Minister Eric Woerth, who helped write the law. “But you’ve chosen to make the weakest pay, to attack those with the least means.”

Paris, France (AHN) – French citizens poured into the streets on Saturday protesting President Nicolas Sarkozy’s plan to raise the retirement age.

Demonstrators ranging in number from 825,000 to 3 million marched in the streets of Paris and nearly 200 other cities in unified protest.

The Chamber of Deputies previously approved a pension reform package that would raise the minimum age for receiving a government pension from 60 to 62 and the age for a full pension from 65 to 67. The Senate is expected to vote Wednesday however unions are calling for another national strike for Tuesday.

Additionally, Francy is also experiencing a strike by oil refinery and rail workers. The workers have been on strike for five days and Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris may be out of fuel by Tuesday.

Economy Minister Christine Lagarde issued a statement calling for calm, “There is no reason to panic over this. I am sure that we will unblock the situation through intelligent social dialogue.”

Texas congressional candidate Bill Flores (R) blamed a headache for “a verbal miscue” and has now backed away from comments suggesting he would raise the Social Security retirement age for future recipients, the Dallas Morning News reports. Flores made the comments in a taped interview earlier this week and later called the program host to ask him “not to air his response on Social Security because he had a headache during the interview and the remarks did not properly characterize his position.” In an email to Politico , Rep. Chet Edwards (D-TX) blasted his opponent: “After Bill Flores blamed his position on raising the Social Security age to 70 on a ‘headache,’ what is next? Is Mr. Flores going to blame his plan to privatize VA health care on a Dairy Queen Hunger-Buster and blame his company’s having stuck taxpayers with $7.5 million in unpaid government loans to a case of indigestion?”

Paris, France (AHN) – Jet fuel supplies have been cut to two Paris airports as refinery workers striking over pension reforms blocked major pipelines Friday.

Workers at the Grandpuits refinery east of Paris are striking. Pipelines carry gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel from that refinery to Paris.

Charles de Gaulle Airport, also known as Roissy, could run out of fuel next week and the Orly airport only has enough fuel for about 17 days. Fuel depots south of Paris that supply filling stations south are also affected.

Most refinery workers around the country are on strike. Members of the CGT trade union are protesting plans to increase the retirement age to 62 from 60.

Plans to hike the retirement age have met with widespread opposition from many of the nation’s unions. Despite the opposition and the strikes, President Nicolas Sarkozy’s government says it will go ahead with the reforms.

To deal with the fuel crisis, the government might tap into its reserves.

Paris, France (AHN) – In a protest against recently approved pension reform plans, French unions on Tuesday came down to the streets to launch the latest round of strikes, threatening an open-end action against the government to force it to agree to their demands.

This was the fourth biggest action against the government reforms in the last 30 days. Civil servants, transport workers and teachers halted their work to protest President Nicolas Sarkozy’s reform drive.

Despite a decline in Sarkozy’s popularity as unions pulled their support, lawmakers approved on Monday a proposal to increase the retirement age for a full state pension from age 65 to age 67.

Meanwhile, railways and aviation officers have warned against serious travel disruptions in coming weeks as half of Paris Orly airport’s flights and one in three at Charles de Gaulle and Paris Beauvais are already cancelled.

Only one in three TGV high-speed trains are on schedule, while all trains apart from the Paris-Rome route are cancelled.

Services between Paris and London are likely to operate normally. Metro and bus services are so far unaffected. Despite all these strikes, the government remained adamant about its policies.

Talking to senators, Labor Minister Eric Woerth said, “We’re not here to do what’s easy, we don’t always have the people’s approval.” He added, “It’s difficult to tell the French that they have to work more, up to 67 years, but it has to be done.”

Unions on Tuesday threatened to continue the strikes and called another day of demonstration on Saturday.

Paris, France (AHN) – French protests over the expected pension reform that will extend the retirement age from 60 to 62, have swelled in size, disrupting travel and threatening to affect other basic services. Both trade unions and students have joined the nationwide protests, adding to the disruptions.

The striking students have targeted some 299 educational institutions across France, holding the common view that, “It’s about us, it’s about the youth. Why should we pay for the crisis, why should we pay for the actions of financial institutions and banks.”

The raising of the retirement age is supported by French prime minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, to help ease the disbursement of government funds to pensioners and to reduce the government deficit.

The French government tries to downplay the huge turnout by claiming that 16.5 percent of postal workers stayed at home, while unions claim it is larger at 30 percent.

Nevertheless, the strike, which is the fourth in the past month and considerably the biggest, will not end in 24 hours as was previously done but will now be subject to vote on a day-by-day basis deciding on the issue of whether to continue or not.

The threat of a prolonged strike could lead to chaos in the now disrupted air and rail transport systems as well as the delivery of goods.

Dhaka, Bangladesh (NewsBahn) – By Saleem Samad

Special to All Headline News

A proposed national child policy would prohibit use of children in political activities and their employment in hazardous jobs in Bangladesh.

Unlike in Palestine and Indian-administered Kashmir, political activists often mobilize children to join protest rallies, which often turn violent when confronted by riot police. “Children are in the front line during demonstrations and anti-government riots,” said political scientist Dr. Imtiaz Ahmed.

On the eve of an anti-government nationwide shut down, police pick up thousands of children and teenagers from city slums to frustrate the opposition.

The draft policy is in conformity with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) that children under 18 years of age would be deemed as a child, irrespective of their castes, religions, communities, and social status. The government will appoint an ombudsman for children to ensure implementation of the UNCRC.

The previous child policy age limit was 14, bringing in nearly 45 percent of the country’s estimated 156 million population.

The new child policy seeks to target ultra-poor children and street kids under the protection of its social safety net, also eradicate child labor gradually, The Daily Star newspaper said.

State Minister for Women and Children Affairs Dr. Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury said the new policy pays more attention to qualitatively enhancing child health security and rights. The government will finalize the policy by early October.

Under the policy, the government would start a concerted effort with non-government and charity organizations to provide free health services and education to poor children.

Wahida Banu, chairman of Bangladesh Shishu Odhikar (Child Rights) Forum, told The Daily Star, “The social protection net will help reduce the number of homeless children, who are vulnerable to exploitation on streets, and to becoming drug users, peddlers, or muggers. We hope the social safety net will cover the children’s basic demands and protect them.”

Bangladesh has an estimated 8 million working children. Taking them immediately away from jobs would only add to hunger and miseries for their families. The draft policy prohibits employment of children under 14 years of age as full time workers. A draft child policy envisages elimination of the scourge in a phased manner.

According to the draft, at least 26.5 million children in the country live below the poverty line, with little or no means to meet their basic needs.
