Assignments: Education and Learners

The schooling system often teaches a rather mechanical approach to learning as we are placed in a situation where learning is forced and a requirement to get through society’s means of, 'a future for ourselves ' and to be part of a respected status quo. Surely the idea of graduating from an institution of knowledge does have many benefits

The idea of a universal education system is criticized by many, because the idea of giving everyone a chance to prosper, has a detrimental effect on government resources; and the value placed on a post- secondary education, is somewhat diluted. This is wrong though, as people be judged on their academic skills, character and drive above their economic restrictions. The finances which a young person is born into, should not determine the life and career which they have. It has been shown that a college education increases a person’s earning power, but this education is contingent on money, which dictates your chance of achieving a recognized education. This is against the ‘education gospel’ which supports the idea that schooling should be for everyone, and that the more people who are educated, the less prejudices there will be in society. Education is universal, but post-secondary education, and one which leads people to positions of power and influence, is not. It is for the select few, of whom have the finances and opportunities to prosper that other, more underprivileged people do not, and that needs to change.

Liberals believe that education should be seen as a form of empowerment rather than as something that is done to the learner, and be regarded as an on going entitlement, with access not restricted by age. They believe that the introduction of management training programmes for teachers and governors, sourced at local level to enable schools to choose courses appropriate to their particular needs is an important step to provide education for all levels. To increase post-secondary level education, the restoration of student grants to a basic “living wage” level, more access courses for those who lack the standard entry qualifications, and a two year training allowance and entitlement should accompany young people entering employment at the age of 16, 17 or 18 years in order to help increase education as well as accommodate the needs of
