Commercialisation of Education

As a student who attends a public school in the U.S, I have many concerns about how our nation should be educated. Our factory model of Education is highly outdated and is needed for a reset. Just as machines our education system should constantly be revolutionized and searching for the best methods to educate the children of our nation.

Expansion of education is closely related to idealistic views of democracy. In developing and wealthy nations, education is valued because it helps the individual mind to develop capabilities. In contrast, education has also been seen as a way to promote equality. Having access to public education, in theory, has the potential to reduce poverty and promote equality. If all are entitled to the same public education, not to mention they are required by law, why do school systems seem segregate their students? Researchers have searched for the answer and have theorized that economic background, tracking, and hidden curriculum are a few things that help contribute to the imaginary lines drawn between students in society.

Over the last 25 years many policies have been introduced in education. Some critic’s say that an education market has been created but others disagree and say that the policies have helped create equality of opportunity.

The 20th century saw more changes to education than the thousand years preceding it. This was largely in response to a recently industrialised country; with newly acquired voting rights, it became apparent that education should not be only for elites. Education is a crucial element of social mobility and it is important we fully understand both the positive and negative aspects of previous legislation to help us plan for the future. The were two major 20th century pieces of legislation: 1944 Education Act and 1988 Education Reform Act. Both brought with them changes that are still being felt today. This essay will cover those Acts in detail, along with other sizable changes such as comprehensivisation, marketization and how other external

Throughout the world, there have been continuous attempts to reform education at all levels. With different causes that are deeply rooted in history, society, and culture, this inequality is difficult to eradicate. Although difficult, education is vital to society’s movement forward. It promotes “citizenship, identity, equality of opportunity and social inclusion, social cohesion as well as economic growth and employment” and for these reasons, equality should be promoted (Shrivastava,67).

The critical challenge within in today’s society is that college tuition should be free or if not free, more affordable for all students. Certainly, higher education should not be considered a luxury where only the wealthy could afford, but an opportunity for all caste systems. It must be an accessible and affordable opportunity for all students in order for them to invest in their education. Higher education is important because it provides more careers to choose from than the careers offered without having a college degree. Ultimately, the issue here is whether it is right to make college tuition more affordable for the students.

The education system in the United States could definitely use some serious changes. As of now, what we are doing is not producing the results it should and it would seem that it is time for a change. But the last thing this change should be is a federal regulation over national curriculum and testing, if anything, that would increase the current problem. There are numerous issues with the current education system to be addressed. One of the main focuses will be on its lack of concerns for students’ lives and how much they are truly affected by the education they receive. As well, some possible solutions to be considered for the future of this country’s education because staying on this path won’t lead to any improvements.

My own view is that we need to change the system of education. Though I concede that sometimes it makes sense to keep what is not broken, I still maintain that for a better learning experience, we must change. Although some argue that what is already in place is enough for our education, I claim that stepping outside of our comfort zone

In my personal angle, I think we can refer that the government may be the cause of the education business issue. In fact, government intervention is the main cause because it is government intervention that provides the slack tuition-borrow policy and

The concept of money was introduced to facilitate the people in their dealings with the others. This is a facility not the source of division between the people. The money has become the reason of misleading a society because the people are classified based on their monetary status. According to Mirra, (2008), in the educational sector and people are graded according to their monetary value. The colleges are also divided in this way. Students have become involved in the inferiority complex. They know that they will not be able to get good education until and unless they will not be able to pay more for the expensive colleges. The society has also divided in such a way that they use to give good jobs to the students that complete their education from the expensive colleges. The poor people are not able to get well in the society. The fee college education will eliminate this worse factor of the society. The people will be treated equally, and there will be all equal opportunities from every person. The involvement of money in the college education is creating problems, but the

In today’s day and age, individuals or corporations with a lot of money generally have a lot of power in the government. This is because money is synonymous with influence in the government. Corporations and wealthy individuals have recently started expanding their influence to encompass the education system. As talked about in scholarly articles, this corporate takeover is the biggest threat to the education system, mainly because “[as] funding for public education shrink[s], the influence of these wealth reformers [grows].” (Kumashiro, 1). These corporations and individuals that come into these positions of power within the education system actually have “...neither scholarly nor practical expertise in education…” (Kumashiro, 1). WIth people

At the present time, it is unquestionable fact that college education is unaffordable for the majority of students those who come from countrysides.Therefore, some people believe that colleges should diminish their tuition fee, particulary for such unfortune pupils.In my view, I am not in favour of the idea given due to two main reasons.In this essay, firstly I will discuss the harmful effects of the idea in terms of economy and secondly how it can lead to unfairness amongst students.

I think is not wrong, but is important that schools in each community have a small team of researchers-teacher pay by the government that should follow the problems in schools as the dropout rate, self-development among teachers, reading, writing, and math inefficiency, and most of all what is really worthy for the students to develop in at the end of high school. The outside help can be temporally in some areas and at the same time we cannot deny the capacity that private companies offer. Investor are able to multiply solutions through economic resources that are slower in the bureaucratic process. I also think that teacher should become researchers

In 2009, the government made a policy that every children age from 6-14 must get education. Every private school has 25% of spare for those who are poor. However, the quality of public education system is poor and undeveloped. A quarter of teachers in public education are not teaching properly, and do not even present in the classroom. Students who are not able to go to high quality private school cannot get good quality education (Nikita Setia.n.p.). As a result, the economy of India is very poor and not growing for several years (BBC news.n.p.). India remains as developing country even though the government invests some money to the public education. The money is just wasted and not used efficiently. The social mobility of two of the lowest castes is low. Only 9% of them increase their social ladder while 25% of forward class move up to higher social class (Kunal Sen.n.p.). It shows how the education quality is different with the public school and private school. India needs better quality education to make economic

11 important Problems of Universalization of Education and their Remedies SWASTIK Universalization of Elementary Education is Constitutional directive. Education is every body's birth-right and it is binding on any government to provide facilities for education for children who are born and reach the school-going age. It was stipulated to achieve Universalization within 10 years from the introduction of Constitution and that is by 1960. But it is now more than three decades after the scheduled time. Now the problems with certain possible remedies to solve them have been discussed as follows: (1) Faulty Policy of Government: The constitutional directive is that states shall endeavour to provide free and compulsory education to all children
