NO WOLVES AT HOGWARTS
After much deliberation, the Ministry of Magic has revoked the previous legislation enacted in 1999 that allowed all werewolves in Britain equal opportunity for education. The law that dictates they have equal opportunity for work is in tact, however. This means that werewolves will no longer be allowed at Hogwarts in the new term.
However, if the current werewolves at Hogwarts were to transfer to another school, it is highly likely they will be with their Hogwarts classmates as the Dodecawizard Tournament will be held at Beauxbatons in a few months.
Firenze is the most well known school for accepting many students who are werewolves, vampires and part Veela. Beauxbatons and Augustine hold a close second, though.
Any British children wishing to attend wizarding school would not have much luck transferring to Xanadu.
The Ministry is aware that most parents will transfer their werewolf children to other wizarding schools, though they advise against it, noting that it only puts other students at risk.
The Ministry encourage parents to set up a homeschooling routine at a safe location away from muggles and offer up curriculum guides for parents to pick up from the Ministry of Magic. They are in accordance with W.O.M.B.A.T. and aim to keep any homeschooled werewolves on the right track in their wizarding education.
The Ministry of Magic has stated that this change in legislation is not to punish students who are werewolves or put them at an educational disadvantage. On the contrary, it is in the best interest of the other students at Hogwarts to keep them separated from the students who pose a threat to their safety.

FORCED ENLISTMENT
Over the past few months, the National Defense Squad has put up many recruitment posters all over Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade to try and increase their numbers for the war efforts. Thawley is growing impatient and wants the war to finish, though the Ministry needs many more numbers to make that happen. Thawley's impatience has lead to action, it seems. Last night, the Ministry of Magic has forced enlistment into the National Defense Squad for all able bodied witches and wizards between the ages of 17-39.
All witches and wizards who were not previously in the National Defense Squad are required to report to the Ministry of Magic for instruction.
Any witch or wizard who does not report to the Ministry of Magic will be charged with treason.
The Ministry has stated that not every position within the National Defense Squad requires fighting - there are many ways that various National Defense Squad witches and wizards contribute to helping Britain in the war without going into the field.
