He often blames his parents for pushing him into education when he becomes nostalgic to who he was before going to an “English” speaking classroom. Although, he then aspired to be nothing like his parents, but like his teachers. His parents didn't give him the support he needed. His parents also contradicted themselves often.

Although I have enjoyed my years at secondary school, I believe continuing to further education would benefit me greatly; it will be an experience which I will remember for the most of my life, and one which I will strive to require the necessary skills and knowledge to achieve my aspiration as a police officer. I want to enhance my knowledge on the various workings of the criminal mind, the way crime affects society, and why certain individuals deviate from the conformity of law

The education system has been a controversial issue among educators. Requirements of school do not let student choose what they want to study for their future. It’s a big issue to force student study specific curriculums, which don’t help them improve, and what they like to create something.

Educators attempt to change that system to make it better, but their changing was not that great to be an example for the world. Also, did that change qualify education system to compete other systems or not? In some examples and

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela. Without education, there is simply no telling of what this world would be like.

Education in America is an issue in this country and it definitely needs to be tweaked and improved. Education is what makes us people who we are and what we will be.

“Schooling the world” was a film based on schools around the world. The Director Carol Black focuses on India schooling and American schooling. The purpose of this film is to show that Americans think education should be one way and not different ways. The schooling in India has changed over time and locals are struggling with the changes. In the older schooling in India is was based on crops and the community. Very few people went to school, but many worked in the fields and in homes. Children are now being sent to boarding school in other towns and leaving their homes to get a better education. Many small towns in India are struggling with the new concept of learning and young people's views on money and communities. Throughout the film I agreed with most of the points in the film, I do disagree with some of the views the older Indian generation has.

Education and schooling has always played a pivotal role in the development of societies the world over and specifically in the context of Trinidad and Tobago. Education and schooling in this country as in any other is an investment in citizens that will reap benefits for all through research and innovation, physical and social mobility, improved opportunities and health.
