Compare and contrast the primary education system in England/the UK with that of ONE country of your choice. Educational system can be said to be effective, from my point of view: it can be very effective to be in place. The structure, quality, subject taught, funding and etc. are all part of the system for bringing an individual closer to perfection. It is proven to be effective as the system of education is being reviewed from time to time by the governing body. “Is what we do as individual to

Adult Learner Retention Adult learner retention continues to hold the attention of adult educators in every type of program. Although the reasons students leave and the strategies for keeping them may differ from adult basic education (ABE) to higher education, the goal of retention is the same: to keep learners in programs until they achieve their goals (Tracy-Mumford et al. 1994). In any program, adults are largely voluntary participants, but the student role is just one of many roles and responsibilities
Students differ in shape, size, color, and age. From kindergarten to college, many students are expected to follow a linear educational path regardless of life obstacles and other hindrances. Unfortunately, judgmental and oppressive eyes often intercept any deviation from this path. Lailah Gifty Akita once said, “You are never old to begin self-seeking.” A college education immediately after high school is not the correct path for everyone, as adult students have taken a rise in the collegiate atmosphere
Socialization also gives us the ability to learn what is not acceptable behavior and the negative treatment that can come along with behaving outside of the norm (New York University Department of Sociology, 2013). It is beneficial to reflect on educational experience as a site of socialization because for the majority of us, this is our first real, complete, and honest experience of socialization. We may receive leniency or special treatment from our parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles because
Experience #1 My experienced on Reynaldo Garza Elementary went pretty well and it was my first time actually collaborating with a school counselor. I arrived at the school at 8:15 a.m. and went to the main office to wait for Mrs. Laura Estrada. She was already at the school, but she was in a meeting with Mr. Torres the Principal. She came to meet me in person at the office for the first time and she told me to wait couple minutes because she was responsible for a section of the announcement for
What if we lived in a world where the price of education was so high that only the rich and powerful could afford? I know it's hard to believe, but that is what the world is coming to. We truly live in a society where the rich get richer and the poorer get poorer. As the rich pay for their kids to go to college, the poor try and find a low paying job to keep themselves afloat. The cost for college is so high that it's becoming unbearable for middle and lower class families to afford. Colleges are
showed that 64% of the college population was white, while minorities groups: such as African Americans, Hispanics, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native Americans/Alaskan, consisted of 13.1%, 11.4%, 6.7%, and 1%, respectively (National Center for Educational Statistics).

However some of the more affordable, lower pricing colleges or community colleges offer the same educational content for reasonable costs. Thus making the expenses of some colleges for “higher” quality staff, to some extent unnecessary since in the long run could potentially drive possible students away through higher

Andragogy Reflection: First Training According to Merriam, Caffarella & Baumgartner, (2007), andragogy is a European concept meaning “the art and science of helping adults learn”. (p. 84) It is based on six of different assumptions about the adult learner (Merriam, Caffarella, & Baumgartner, 2007, p. 84). Andragogy is important for not only the adult learner, but the adult educator as well. It is important to adult educators because it helps them with setting a proper climate for their students

During the weekends when I go home, I am given the pleasure of working in the after-service tutoring programs that happen at my local church. Children of all different ages get help from the Youth Group in a multitude of areas that range from statistics to simple grade-school math or writing. Children are split up based on grade-level (elementary, middle, and high school) and then once again split by the subject they need assistance in. They are then assigned teachers based on which grade levels

Taylor Siegel December 11, 2013 “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” is an inspirational quote said by Nelson Mandela. Unfortunately, many kids are being deprived of a proper education. Too many kids are dropping out of school to help their parents earn money to support their families economic needs.
