Children of the World
Education around the world has changed drastically this past decade. From 2001-2009, education wasn’t enforced as much here in the U.S. as it is today. In other countries, education is not enforced as much as they believe working is better than earning a degree. In the United States education grew rapidly after 2009, less high school drop-outs were recorded, more people were going into college, and campaigns started which helped kids who come from low income households go to school. This campaigns grew so much and so fast, that they went global. The GCE, Global Campaign for Education, is one of the best american campaigns helping kids with no education in Africa and Eastern Asia countries.
On an article by Tamim Tayyaba, it offers insights into the nature of language-education and development relationship. With the use of Bourdieu's social critical theory, this article captures the processes by which languages in education become implicated in restricting the social capital of the relatively poor. As such, protection of student data has become a national priority. President Obama is expected to announce legislation in 2015 that will impose a bevy of restrictions on companies that operate websites, apps and cloud-computing services aimed at the K-l 2 market, according to a national briefing. The changes are expected to follow a California law that was passed last
year and took effect on January 1, 2015.
Because of the schools shootings, education levels in the northern cities on the U.S., especially in college, the drop-out rates increased. For this reasons, Technology will also play a greater role in protecting schools and keeping students secure. More school systems are asking for money to update security systems in their bond measures so that they can install technology like advanced camera systems, automatic lockdown systems and recognition technology, including biometrics.
In the United States, children and young adults are no longer considering education as an opportunity for success, yet they are considering it more of like an option with no goals set. This kind of thinking has been growing a lot this past year because of the economy regressions the country is encountering. This should not be a big concern to children, yet it is, as they are no longer guaranteed a secure job after years of education. Some say the richest people in the world are the ones responsible for this changes just because they “encourage” kids to drop out of school and begin a business. What some of those people say, is that they had ambition, had courage, and risked they fear of failure because they saw success at the end of their careers. This is the lesson they are trying to implant on the children’s brains, yet that idea is not interpreted as they pretend.
