New York, NY – September 20, 2017 –Khan’s Tutorial Chairperson Mrs. Nayeema Khan and CEO & President Dr. Ivan Khan were recently invited to the United Nations’ Peace Culture & Health Forum – President & First Lady’s Formal Awards Ceremony – at the United Nations Head Quarters. Yiling Li, President of UNESCO Association of New York, honored Mrs. Nayeema Khan with the Outstanding Contribution to Education Award for her leadership at Khan’s Tutorial.

Khan’s Tutorial would like to congratulate three KT SHSAT students who recently gained acceptance to a Specialized High School through the Discovery Program.

The recently expanded Discovery Program allows students who miss the cut off score for a Specialized High School to gain acceptance through a summer program. Students must have missed the score within a certain range and meet specific eligibility requirements, such as low-income status.Essentially, it is a second opportunity for students who did not gain acceptance the first time.

New York, New York — The Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Greater New York (CACAGNY) recently surveyed Chinese American Candidates running for office in the New York City September 12th Primary, asking whether they presently support keeping the single merit based exam to the Specialized Highs Schools of New York City. Currently, the SHSAT is the only way to gain admission into the Specialized High Schools such as Stuyvesant, Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech. These are the country’s best public high schools and predominantly Asian, however, they have come under attack for not being more diverse. Several elected officials claim the exam should be eliminated because it is unfair and preventing diversity at these schools.
