Education : The Educational Catastrophe Of Failure

America’s education system is a disaster and the government has over the years spent millions on fixing the education system. The government has failed in fixing the education system because they are not the real people who can fix it. The government has made many different programs to fix the education system, like the No Child left behind program. Most people blame the government for spending millions to fix the education system and failing. What our society does not understand is that the government can only fix so much. It is time for all students, parents, and teachers to take responsibly and fix the education system in the way they want. Students, parents and teachers can make the education system better by students taking control of their own education, parents who care for their kid’s education and teachers who make amazing learning environment for their students.

We are living in a illusion, where the public school system is working fine to our requirements.Over the years, millions of students are dropping out of public schools, and the number is still increasing at a rapid rate. Most parents still have the mindset that the public school system will provide plenty of opportunity for their children in the future. But in reality our public school system has done very little more than just babysit their children. The public school system has failed its students, especially in most black communities and other minority communities. Most public school students are in distress because the United States has a poor education system.The main reason the public school system has failed its students is because of lack of fund and qualify teachers.

Last Decade governments and high ranking officials from across the globe came together under the magnanimous principles of The Universal Declaration of Human rights giving birth to the millennium development goals.The 8 goals and 21 targets capture ambitious promises such as eradicating poverty and hunger and achieving universal primary education by 2015. (UN.org) Yet with just a few months away from the deadline this historic chapter will close in tragedy.The setting for this tragic tale is Sub-Saharan Africa where 50 million children and youth still remain out-of-school.Despite extraordinary progress in enrollment stark disparities still remain. Poor children across the region are victims of an insidious “lottery of life” where the family they are born into means everything and nothing. (efa governance matters)For a poor child born into poverty the chances of that child finishing school once they start are slim, and if that child happens to be female she can only dream of what it’s like inside a classroom. Experts have declared Africa’s education crisis a state of emergency as dangerously low completion rates, and poor learning achievement have left an indelible stain on educational goals. Africa’s education crisis is a result strong socio-economic and cultural barriers which have created major stumbling blocks in both access to education and learning outcomes.Consequently millions of of children and youth are being robbed of their futures.

Education is very essential in advancing the lives of many people in developing nations; diverse partners and governments have teamed up to bolster the advancement of essential education in developing countries. Education is broadly viewed as the course to financial flourishing, the way to logical and innovative headway, the way to battle unemployment, the establishment of social value, and the spread of political and social imperatives (Chapman & Austin, 2002). While progress has been made in expanding the quantity of young children enlisted in schools, there are still numerous who are not selected and who do not finish the o level education. The confirmation demonstrates that the systems expected to handle education issues will need to fluctuate and address the current crises in developing countries through implementation of education policies and programs to enable gender equity in nurturing skills of the their population through education.

Nevada needed an alternative to improve the failing education system. Thus, voucher were designed to give parents the option of finding a better school for their children. Vouchers will provide parent with $5,000 for each child enrolled in public school. The money can be used for school supplies, tution, or anything related to academics. However, vouchers current situation in the education sytem is become more of a nuisance than a solution. There's no way to monitor if the money is going towards students, limits the public school resources, and gives private schools extra funding they don't need. I know there are more effective options for pubic school education. I propose getting rid of voucers and instead use the money to assit public schools.

Education comes with social benefits as well which can improve the situation of the poor, such as lower fertility and improved health care of children ("Poverty and Education"). "Poor people are often unable to obtain access to an adequate education, and without an adequate education people are often constrained to a life of poverty." - Servaas Van Der Berg. The absolutely poor in developing countries have low education levels. Some may not even have access to primary education or may not have completed their primary education, not realizing that it is important to reduce poverty. Education is often poorly measured, and the impacts do not always show up as statistically significant in cross- country growth regressions (Levine & Renelt, 1992). Africa’s education crisis makes media headlines and analysis by the Brookings Center for Universal Education (CUE) explains why this needs to change. Progress towards universal primary education has come to a halt and learning levels of children who are in school are poor as well. Using a Learning Barometer, CUE estimates that 61 million African children will reach adolescence lacking even the most basic literacy and numeracy skills, this will deprive a whole generation of opportunities to develop and escape poverty ("Poverty, Education, & Opportunity").

In conclusion, child poverty is a universal dilemma that can range from minor poverty to extreme levels that threaten the lives of billions of children worldwide. There are possible actions that can be taken by governments to alleviate the harsh condition these children live in and possibly even show the ever growing problem of child poverty all together. Due to these large differences in upbringings, lower/working-class children have countless setbacks that prevent them from developing at the same pace as their upper/middle-class counterparts that are able to develop to full capacity with the aid of programs and schools that aware for a child to expand their social skills with not only other children, but their parents as well. Developing

Poverty arises in many families and touches them in many methods. Teachers main concerns in poverty is in what manner it impacts the child’s development. “Families who live in poverty face drawbacks that can delay their children’s development in various ways” (Duncan, 2014). Not all teachers identify the impact that a child in poverty has to go thru each day. It is hard trying to concentrate in classwork when one is thinking about where they will sleep or when they will have their next meal. This paper demonstrates resources that a teacher can practice when having a child in poverty in their classroom so they can better comprehend of the student. It also addresses the global effects of poverty and educational outcomes by containing findings from both developed and developing countries. Teacher’s support and society can benefit a child in poverty and the family.

The development of these issues can hinder the child's ability to receive a proper education because they are unable to focus in the classroom and often do not perform at the same level as their classmates.”By the age of three, poorer children are estimated to be nine months behind children from wealthier backgrounds. By the end of primary school, students receiving free school meals are estimated to be about three terms behind their peers”(Shelton,2013). The evident educational disadvantage children with impoverished backgrounds experience due to exposure to violence in early years of development and the common inability to attend school persistently in order to provide for their families.

If it takes a village to raise a child, that same village must share responsibility for all the educationally abandoned children. Sadly, inequality and segregation still exists on today’s society. Around the country children’s quality of education is determined by the neighborhoods they reside in rather than for their abilities. Why is this still occurring in modern day society? This information is upsetting and it’s intended for parents and teachers. All parents’ rich or poor want a great education for their children. Most parents have lots of time and money invested in their children’s education. Teachers also play a critical role in children’s futures. Along

Parental Deaths on Primary Schooling in North-Western Tanzania. Journal of Development Studies, 41, 412-439. Ainsworth is a clinical social worker and therapist in Tennessee. This study asserts that the deaths of parents and other adults due to the AIDS epidemic in Africa could severely reduce the likelihood of schooling in young children. Subsequently, the children will have limited ability to survive and are likely put into care which is not adequate to their development. Ainsworth's position is that female children are particularly at risk to lose educational opportunities. Public policy must be made to assure children are properly educated.

The issue at stake is not population numbers depiction, but concerns for the quality of education for Tanzanians children. Honestly, the growing number of children in Tanzania as (Woods, 2009) alerts, is a clarion call for excessive investment in education, and in other public services. Comparable to other poor countries as Jeffrey Sachs and Easterly (2006) argued, the poor people live entwined in inadequacy, “in which taking to account the global abuse of children, poor wellbeing, learning, and poor arrangement reinforces “one another” (p. 10 ). It is incontestable that children are the treasured resources of any future nation, and therefore, financing beyond their education quality would be the ultimate investment for their development. This is to say, parents, teachers, and communities need to ensure the safety of children and monitor what they learn in classrooms, while paying a distinctive attention to the marginalized children the most likely to be victims of quality education access limitation.

The impacts of poverty on children are wide-reaching and can prompt long-term life struggles, particularly when young people don’t receive a good education. Poverty and education are inseparably connected, on the grounds that people living in poverty may quit school, so they can work instead, which leaves them with a lack of literacy and numeracy skills, which then causes them to not be able to advance in their careers. Their children, thusly are brought up in a comparable circumstance years later, with little income and few options, but to leave school and work. For the students living in poverty that do choose to stay in school have to deal with the poor education offered near their home. Most high-poverty, high minority schools will

Gender roles involving education could potentially be hurting countries in Africa. A country’s development is based off providing a good education. When both men and women are equipped with learning and shared decisions, the productivity of a society rises. It is very important for women to be educated along with men because this also improves the health of a nation.

Following its independence in 1961, Tanzania’s political beliefs known as Ujamaa has shaped its national identity and commitment to educational development. Tanzania shares a long history of governmental efforts to strengthen educational development in order to support economic and social development within the region. With Nyerere’s encouragement of educational development, the government of Tanzania recognized the significant role of education in achieving overall improvement in the quality of life of its citizens. However, many challenges and dilemmas in educational development and attainment can be illustrated by the case study of Tanzania.
