How school forget required course for seniors
GOTHENBURG, Sweden, May 28 (UPI) -- Seniors at a Swedish high school said they were shocked to discover days before graduation they must complete a course the school apparently forgot to offer. The students at Aniaragymnasiet high school in Gothenburg
said they were outraged to be told only four days before this week's scheduled graduation ceremony that the school had neglected to teach them a required course on religion, The Local.se reported Tuesday. "We're supposed to graduate in four days and I'm meant to complete a course that is actually supposed to last the whole year. That's impossible," student Patricia Kjellby said. Christel Berver, the school's principal, said the problem came from a misinterpretation of the country's required curriculum.When you read the law, it can be interpreted that you can switch religion with social science," Berver said. However, officials recently discovered that is not the case and the students must either now complete the course's requirements before graduation or accept a failing grade for the class and make it up in the fall.

Miss Universe Canada crowns wrong contestant
TORONTO -- Denise Garrido's reign as Miss Universe Canada was a short one. The Bradford, Ont., native was crowned the winner out of 57 contestants Saturday night, but about 24 hours later, organizers realized a whopper of a mistake and she was dethroned.
As it turns out, Garrido was actually a runner-up -- named the winner over Calgary's Riza Santos due to an mathematical error. "During the validation of the computerized scoring results (which occurs the following day), a typo was discovered in the top five entries, which significantly impacted the final results of the competition," pageant director Denis Davila said in a release. "This is the first instance of this type of error in the 11 years that Beauties of Canada (BOC) has produced the Miss Universe Canada (MUC) pageant. "This is an unfortunate circumstance where a human error was made and in such a situation, as difficult as it is, it is only right to correct the error.
