CAIRO, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- Iran, Lebanon and Algeria condemned on Monday a deadly shooting attack at a mosque in the city of Quebec in Canada late Sunday.

extremist groups,"" said Qasemi.
In Lebanon, Prime Minister Saad Hariri strongly condemned the shooting on his Twitter account.
""Terrorism has no religion!"" he said.
The Algerian government also expressed condemnation.
""This act is vainly trying to destabilize societies and undermine the cohesion, diversity and peaceful coexistence of religions and cultures,"" said

Iraqi forces launched an offensive Sunday on jihadists defending Mosul's west bank Cheap
Nike Air Max 90 Premium Men's Shoes Gym Red , in what could be the most
brutal fighting yet in a four-month-old operation on the country's second city.
They swiftly retook at least five villages and set their sights on Mosul airport, which lies just south of the city, marking a new phase in Iraq's
largest military operation in years.
The Islamic State group has put up stiff resistance to defend Mosul, the city where its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi proclaimed a ""caliphate"" in 2014.
""Our forces are beginning the liberation of the citizens from the terror of Daesh,"" Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in a short televised
speech Cheap
Men's Nike Air Max Plus Tartan Running Shoes Black , using an Arabic
acronym for IS.
""We announce the start of a new phase in the operation. We are coming, Nineveh, to liberate the western side of Mosul,"" he said, referring to the
province of which Mosul is the capital.
A top army commander then announced that forces led by federal police units retook villages south of
Mosul Cheap
Nike Air Max Plus Just Do It Men's Shoes White , including Athbah, which
leaves them within striking distance of the airport.
""We launched our operation at 7:00 am... We are heading towards the airport,"" said Abbas al-Juburi of the interior ministry's elite Rapid Response
force.
""We destroyed two car bombs and killed several Daesh members,"" he told AFP.
Military vehicles blared patriotic songs as heavy bombardment and shooting could be heard in the distance.
The jihadists overran Mosul and swathes of other territory north and west of Baghdad in 2014, sweeping aside security forces ill-prepared to face the
assault.
The Iraqi government launched the offensive to reconquer Mosul on October 17 Cheap
Women's Nike Air Max 90 97 All Black , throwing tens of thousands of
forces into the long-awaited counter-attack with air and ground support from the
US-led coalition.
The Joint Operations Command coordinating the fight against IS declared eastMosul ""fully liberated"" on January 24.
But it took Iraq's most seasoned forces - the elite Counter-Terrorism Service - more than two months to clear the eastern side of Mosul.
After a pause, federal forces now face what was always billed as the toughest nut to crack: Mosul's west bank, home to the narrow streets of the Old City.
""West Mosul had the potential certainly of being more difficult, with house-to-house fighting on a larger and more bloody scale,"" said Patrick
Skinner Cheap
Men's Nike Air Max 90 Woven Phantom White , from the Soufan Group
intelligence consultancy.
The streets around the historical center will be impassable for many military vehicles and force government fighters to take on IS in perilous dismounted
warfare.

MEXICO CITY, July 11 (Xinhua) -- Mexico is in dire need of an educational reform to bring about several changes, including in regular testing and
supervision of teachers, to improve the efficiency of its school system, experts
said.
Angel Diaz-Barriga Cheap
Men's Nike Air Max 90 VT Shoes Khaki , an emeritus researcher on higher
education at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), told Xinhua
that evaluating the development of teachers is necessary, although the current
method suggested by the government's reform is not adequate.
"Such inspections could be carried out through observations in class and would allow teachers to self-improve, while also recording classes for later
examination," he suggested.
These planned evaluations Cheap
Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse Premium Volt , however, drew protests from
teachers belonging to the National Coordination of Education Workers (CNTE).
They are demanding the cancellation of the reform, which they see as punitive
and opening the door to mass firings.
The Ministry of Public Education (SEP) has denied the allegation, saying that the reform does not aim to fire anyone but simply to ensure better results by
training teachers.
Diaz-Barriga has his doubts as exams of teachers not affiliated with the CNTE in 2015 have not yet concluded. This leads him to believe the process, as
designed by the current
reform Cheap
Men's Nike Air Max 90 Essential Shoes Coal Gray , is too long and does not
really track the development of teachers in class.
"The teachers are complaining about all the evaluation processes, not just one," he said.
According to SEP, the evaluation process would consider four aspects, the opinion of the school
director Cheap
Nike Air Max 90 Essential Women's White Black , the teacher's
communications ability to students, a written exam, and oral and written
evaluation of class planning ability.
This week, the SEP has begun a dialogue with teachers' unions to analyze problems in the reform and discuss how to improve its implementation.
"The vision of the evaluation will have to be changed to consider and utilize the teachers' opinions," Diaz-Barriga added.
Dissident teachers have been opposing the reform since it first emerged in 2013.
