On August 19, 2024, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will launch a groundbreaking initiative known as the "Path to Citizenship" program. This program marks a significant shift in US immigration policy, offering a beacon of hope to over 500,000 undocumented foreign national spouses and 50,000 foreign national stepchildren of US citizens who entered the country without proper documentation. The program's primary aim is to provide these individuals with a clear pathway to permanent residency and, ultimately, citizenship. A key component of this initiative is the implementation of immigration parole, which allows eligible non-citizens to reside and work in the United States without fear of deportation.

School students need to learn mathematics, but it is not necessarily an easy subject to teach. The following strategies can be employed in teaching mathematics:. Explicit instruction clearly and directly tells students what they need to do and how to do it in an organized manner. This process involves guiding students by asking relevant questions, the teacher solving sample problems, and having students attempt to solve problems on their own. Students then work independently, check their answers, and review difficult problems.
