In recent years, some schools have changed the way they layout their classrooms. They have gone from a traditional classroom layout, to a more open-plan classroom one.

The reception from these more open-plan classroom spaces has been very broad. Some students enjoy this more social way of learning, some feel overstimulated, and others are finding the shift both good and bad.  

And recently, an article was written about these changes in school learning spaces - how it is going so far, what some of the results have been, and whether it is a good thing that schools are trying these new ways of learning. Zazi spoke with the author of this particular article, Leon Benade. Leon Benade is an Associate Professor in the school of Education at AUT, and his current research work focuses on Innovative Learning Environments.

This week new Smokefree 2025 law will take effect. The law aims to protect children under the age of 18 by banning smoking and vaping inside cars either moving or parked. This latest move is part of the government’s commitment to ensuring that by 2025 fewer than 5% of New Zealanders will be smokers or what is more commonly known as Aotearoa's Smokefree 2025 goal. 

News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speaks to ASH New Zealand Director Deborah Hart about the new law. They discuss the how the law came to be, why the inclusion of vaping in the ban is confusing, and whether the Smokefree 2025 goal is realistic. 

ASH NZ is the leading independent smokefree campaign organisation in New Zealand whose work in supporting policy makers and leading a social campaign aims to reach the Smokefree 2025 goal.

Recent research suggests that the Transeurasian language family originate from Chinese millet farmers 9,000 years ago. This goes against common views that these languages developed independently, which has been used to promote unique national and cultural identities. 

Louis spoke to the lead author of this research, Dr. Martine Robbeets, who is a comparative linguist at the University of Mainz and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Social Sciences. They talked about the origin and spread of these languages, as well as how they impact nationalistic arguments.
