The problems of Education are much greater in developing countries. Parents may prioritize short-term money making over education. However, recent studies suggest that many poor families return to school after meeting their basic needs. After school, their work has a greater economic value than before. Yet, teachers are still paid less than their counterparts in similar professions. This situation will probably continue to worsen until the COVID-19 cuts are eliminated. To address this problem, education needs to be prioritized.
Human right to education
The right to education is one of the basic rights recognized by the United Nations. Every human being has the right to an elementary education free of charge. It is a fundamental human right, along with freedom of religion, thought, and expression. However, the right to education is different than these other rights because it requires a state to take positive action to ensure that people receive a good quality education. Moreover, the right to education is not limited to a formal school setting. A person may pursue higher education in non-formal settings.
Goals of education
The goals of education are very broad and cover many topics, including civic and human rights, individual and community well-being, and cultural and historical knowledge. In addition to the above, students should learn about the government of their countries, its economic system, and how leaders are chosen. They should also develop knowledge about health, fitness, and leisure-time choices. These are some of the most important goals of education. There are many other goals of education, including personal growth, career readiness, and citizenship.
Impact of technology on education
The impact of technology on education is significant in many different ways. It has improved accessibility for many students and has made learning more collaborative. Students, teachers, and subject experts from around the world can now collaborate on courses, assessments, and more. Technology has also made learning more efficient, as it allows students to access information from any location. Early learning of technological skills is important for career success and personal development. However, it can have a negative impact on the learning experience for some students.
Impact of COVID-19 cuts on education budgets
The impact of COVID-19 cuts on education budget is expected to be dramatic. In the wake of the epidemic, nearly half of the nation’s 13,000 school districts are expected to make the deepest cuts to education spending in a generation. The schools that are most at risk all share the same demographic profile: a high proportion of black or Latino students and low income residents. These schools receive more than half of their revenue from state aid.
Importance of non-discrimination in education
Discrimination in education has a number of adverse consequences for children. In the absence of a fair and equal education system, children are not able to complete their education because of physical and social barriers. Lack of pre-primary education, different levels of schools, and availability of seats in institutions and courses are also barriers that prevent children from accessing quality education. NDMJ organizes public hearings to draw attention to these issues.
