Probably they run to be nominated for the 11 Biggest Social Media Disasters 2012, because the idea to share a condom seems quite disgusting to me.
A £5 billion investment in schools and other capital projects will be partly paid for by deeper cuts in Whitehall departmental budgets. Chancellor...

Tens of thousands of England's poorest families are missing out on additional support for their children, a report into school subsidies has found. ...
On World AIDS Day, new research conducted for the Global Monitoring Report 'Youth and Skills: Putting education to work' shows the importance of investing in life skills education in school to ensure children have the confidence and negotiating skills to say no to sex and negotiate condom use.
The latest Health Protection Agency (HPA) figures show there were an estimated 3,010 new diagnoses among gay men in 2011 - the highest annual figure since records began. Nearly a quarter of people with HIV (24%) remain unaware of their infection and the proportion of late diagnoses (indicating people have been infected for over five years) remains worryingly high at 47%.
Latest results show that the government's flagship back-to-work scheme is not working. At least not yet. But as more young people are locked out of the job market, we need to start looking at other ways to help.
We are making progress in our understanding of poverty, but insisting on a single solution risks everyone falling through the net.
It's also a myth that IT is only for people with highly technical qualifications. Of course you need an interest in technology, but an IT career can be joined at any level, age or experience. It is an industry open to everyone, and is particularly advantageous for young people.
Even in the Prime Minister's own backyard of Oxfordshire, there are too many coasting schools. We need to learn from success stories like Wigan and Darlington to understand why other areas, like Derby and Doncaster, are less successful.
Business appears to be waking up to the need to create strategy models that are based around creating value for customers, rather than out-competing their rivals.

Parents will be able to go online to compare nurseries and childminders in their area from Tuesday. Ofsted's website will contain information on di...
We need to rise above our preoccupation with struggling between studies and our non-academic activities. The distinction between work and play is mostly arbitrary, and constrains us to thinking that we need to always maintain a constant balance between the two. University life isn't just about balancing lifestyles.
In February of this year lecturers, teachers and backbench Conservative MPs were reacting to the news that the same Mr. Gove was excluding religious education from the core elements making up the new English Baccalaureate. It was apparently not an "essential academic" subject.
Hall's appointment provides a very good reminder of why big decisions should not be made on the basis of irrelevant factors like where someone went to school. Just as a candidate should not be promoted because of an old school tie, he should not be strangled because of it either.
The fact is, our children are much more spoilt than we were, or our parents and grandparents were too. The good thing is though, instead of being spoiled with toys that are useless (anyone remember ball in a cup?) these more modern toys can actually improve our children's development.
Why doesn't this ambitious, motivated straight-As sixth-form student from one of London's inner suburbs know how to get into town, a distance of around five miles?
Those of us who were bullied at school, for whatever reason, will empathise keenly with young people who dread bullies' taunts and violence. Bullying isn't just a 'rite of passage' that we should expect as part of growing up. Its effects - low exam scores, depression and anxiety - can affect our whole adult lives.
Social science research is about knowledge, or what I prefer to call the materialisation and seeding of ideas. Lots of ideas flourish, both good ideas and bad ideas, and in social science we have plenty of good and bad ideas which are sustained.
A lot has been written about learning styles, a testimony to the fact that the subject is not only fascinating but also useful: if we understand what makes people 'tick', and how they retain information, we have a chance to present said information in a more engaging way.
In order to have an overview of what happens beyond the classroom, I have recently appointed an Assistant Head for the Enrichment Programme in my school, as I believe that this is part and parcel of a good British education.
On this historic day, with Malala a beacon of hope for all children who are deprived of their rights, let's ensure we listen to our children and together create a world we can all be proud of.
