Humanistic vision As students study and work simultaneously, they receive a monthly net pay of around EUR 700-900. This amount is just enough to cover their living expenses. By the end of the 2-3 year apprenticeship program, students will have a professional degree and will be eligible to apply for full-time jobs with decent salaries compared to the average level in other European countries.

The sea-based occupation of Chin Lieu, whose real name is Vuong Hoai An, a 58-year-old resident of Kien Luong District in Kien Giang Province, southern Vietnam is very strange and distinctive. Without a snorkel and protective gear, the blind man only needs simple tools such as gloves, a homemade fish bucket, and a bottle of drinking water for his work. The blind man’s special eyes “Crabs, fish, and shrimp all move swiftly, so it is not easy to catch them. When the tide comes in, they hide well in their deep lairs. As such, hunting them is challenging,” Chin Lieu giggled and said. Each day, wading a few dozen meters away from the shore, taking a deep breath, he gently dives under the waves, and a little later, emerges from the water, with one hand stroking his face and the other ho...

(PTI Photo) India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj also said that the item on equitable representation in the Security Council was included on the General Assembly agenda more than forty years ago, in 1979. “Consequently, the council still doesn’t reflect the current geo-political landscape.
