Top Problems With Public Education And How To Address Them

By Karina Frost


The world is full of people from all walks of life. These people are easily being placed into boxes, too, as discrimination is fast becoming rampant in almost all parts of the world. The world is always handed out in a silver platter to those who are rich, powerful, and brainy. The elite enjoy the best of everything, while the average guy has to work his buns off to survive from what little options he is being presented with.

Discrimination is still a thing today as it was before the advent of all the technological advancements. The good things go to those who are privileged. The not so good are shared among the people who are not displaying so much potential. It is in times like these, too, that quality education has become an adamant must. Parents work hard to send their kids to better schools, because they cannot afford to jeopardize the future of their children by getting them all entangled in the different problems with public education.

The transfer of all the skills, habits, and knowledge from one generation to the next is often referred to as education. The successful transfer is often made by use of research, training, and the imparting of worthwhile lessons every learner can use in real life scenarios. Education can be done with the help of an educator, though some have learned the art of self education on their own.

This is commonly divided into several stages that every individual has to go through at many points of his life. Such stages include preschool, primary school, secondary, college or university, and then apprenticeship. The privileged ones go through every single stage before they land the most coveted job on the planet. There are also many who do opt not to complete the said cycle for their own personal reasons.

Because education is a right given to everyone regardless of the differences in so many aspects, state institutes came into being. These are establishments that impart learning for free. These schools are funded by the government whether by part or in full. Some even have non government benefactors and some can be adopted as sister schools of the private ones.

But, due to many reasons, such learning environments are not able to function in accordance to the purpose with which they are built. Qualified graduates are dwindling in numbers, and majority of the graduating class are allowed to leave a stage forever even though they have not really learned what is expected from their level. Such graduates become not too good additions to the work force in the future.

Educational systems often put the blame to many external factors beyond their control. At the topmost of the list is the lack of involvement of the family with regards to the education received by the children. They prefer to leave all the work to the teachers, when in fact the upbringing of kids is their sole responsibility.

Another problem is the attitude of the students themselves. For teaching to be effective, the learners must also do their part. If they do not want to learn, then, despite all the best efforts by educators, they will most certainly never be able to learn.

Money and the lack thereof can also be a serious problem. Due to financial incapacity, parents are not able to send their kids off to good schools where they can be honed. Sometimes, people just stop attending classes to get a job and make money for the family.
