Education has had three phases of development according, to Van Krieken, 2013. Each phase being associated with a set of beliefs about the nature and purpose of education. Firstly, the advent of the modern system from the mid-19th century to World War II, influenced chiefly by liberal humanist ideas. Secondly, post World War II expansion into the late 1970’s was influenced by social democratic beliefs. Finally, the increased marketisation of education which has been influenced by neoliberalism since the 1980’s (Krieken, 2013, p. 149).
The revolutionary world has depended on education since the beginning of time. Education, as a key to all the developmental and advancing changes in the world, has as well taken a different dimension. Sir K. Robinson gave the speech in Youtube video updated on October 14th, 2010 in which RSAnimate video “Changing Paradigm”. Throughout his speech, he showed the world that to remain stable and sustainable, people must get the right education that will allow them to make the right decisions concerning the primary elements in the global settings. In his connection to his audience, he had given clear evidence of changing paradigms concerning the issues of education.
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).
According to Ken Robinson, the current education system has yet to adapt to the modern world and it’s different modes of thinking, creating a stand still in curriculum success that is in desperate need of reform. After explaining how countries around the world want to reform education and carry on legacies, Robinson makes the case that our current education system is out dated. The current system was established during the 18th century during the Industrial Revolution, which was based largely on agricultural and urban advancements. As Robinson mentions, every community wants their children to be prepared for the current economic opportunities and carry a cultural legacy, but that’s hard to do when our current system isn’t cohesive to today’s circumstances. “People are trying to work out how we educate our children to their place in the economies of the 21st century.” (Robinson, RSAnimate)
Success is everyone’s ultimate goal. In today’s day and age, every country wants in the fight to become the best of the best. This mindset of becoming the superlative holds a lot of value to a country’s leaders, as they believe it will lead them and their people to be the front-runners of the world. Education has long been an area in which countries feel indicates how successful they are and will be. As a result, educators continue to use a variety of methods to ensure that their country’s children are receiving a superior education. While many are aware of the educational system in Japan or the United States, France continues its fight to offer the best schooling in the world. In hopes to achieve this objective, French educators have
All of this is hinges on the maintenance of economic prosperity, stability and further opportunity, none of which are a stable element. The global financial crisis bears evidence to this, which occurred in 2008 alongside the introduction of this policy. Thus, education reform is seen as a replacement for both economic and social changes and the implications that trickle down are that teachers and teaching are now focuses of criticism and inquiry (Luke, 2006,
“Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts” (Adams Para 1). The issues within the education system are having negative effects on education and the students. Even though there are more and more students taking advanced courses in high school each year, it does not mean students are receiving a proper and fulfilled education (Wagner Para 4). It is not only the educators problem to fix but also the people (Boyer Para 2). Statistics have shown that foreign countries’ students are moving up in areas, such as math and science, and are surpassing American students (Werner Para 4).
Education is important in many cultures because it gives an opportunity to gain the skill which is needed to navigate in the world. It plays a crucial factor in all countries. Also, it is important in the country like Kazakhstan which is developing. The education system of Kazakhstan has changed a lot from the USSR’s collapsing. It was improved and modified. However, the result of PISA ranked the knowledge of the 15 years old students to 49th in 2012 (PISA 2012 Results in Focus, 2014). The ranking shows the education system of school needs an amelioration. Therefore, the Kazakhstani government requested technical assistance to improve the nation’s educational system in 2011(PISA 2012 Results in Focus, 2014). In response, the World Bank Group launched the Joint Economic Research Program, or JERP, in order to enhance the quality of education. After researches there were provided additional technical equipment to schools but the method or approach of teaching was not changed. There is mistake that the way of teaching and requirements to teachers weren’t considered that could have improved the system. The method of teaching of successful countries should have considered and applied for Kazakhstani schools’ education. Therefore, this research was conducted in order to regard the gap. As an example country for application its experience Finland was chosen because Finland’s way has significant implication for reformer, especially those who is facing the same problems. Finland

Education, if looked at beyond its traditional sense, forms the fundamentals of our daily lives. How we act and what we believe are based upon the knowledge we gain through instruction and knowledge. Thus it’s simple to conclude that education has become the very key to a sustainable development of a nation. At a smaller scale, each individual 's future is also dependent upon their levels of education, such as: the amount of income, social status, and is also a strong predictor of attitudes and wellbeing(Easterbrook et al). Such a concept is globalizing around the world, and more countries are starting to recognize the

Over the years education has evolved and is now seen as the education system all over the world.

Education is one of the most important things you can have in this world. Some people don’t have it, but those who do, choose how they want to use it. Some countries push their students to various limits, plus they set various standards for their students.While some can be exceedingly low compared to the rest of the world, some can be superbly high compared to the rest. A documentary called 2 Million Minutes spotlights how three country superpowers, USA, India, and China examines how their students prepare for their life thereafter high school. While the USA is doing great things when it comes to education, it is no match correlated to the other two countries.
Throughout the extent of time in which humans have inhabited the Earth, it has only been in the past couple hundred years that humanity has developed technology at an astonishing rate. From the early 1800s and onward, the human population has skyrocketed and advancements in technology have rapidly progressed through the course of a relatively short period of time. In that time, society has become a massive, interconnected network of people that are dependent on resources that originate from different parts of the world. With the technology of today, society has enabled resources that range from food to oil, to be transported to areas of the world in which those select resources are not available. An extreme example of this would be the city of Dubai, which is part of one of the seven emirates that constitute the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is one of the most impressive and wealthiest cities in the world and is well known for the luxurious lifestyle, extremely modernized architecture, and can be viewed as the epitome of a Westernized society. However, the land of the United Arab Emirates is sandy and barren, and not capable of being used for agricultural purposes, there is no major fresh water supply, and very few natural resources. With the absence of farmland and water, Dubai is a city that depends on the resources found worldwide that are purchased with the revenue from oil exports. Dubai has capitalized on its predominant resources and found
