This video explains how inadequate literacy rates, a changing economy that will require a high degree of education, and an influx of low skilled workers fueled by immigration are hurting the middle class. The failing education system in the United States and the decline of public education are going to affect the quality of life for many in the future. Changing the curriculum, teacher compensation, and showing students college is accessible can help reverse this trend. There is 100 million people who do not meet literacy and mathematical skills for the workforce of the 21st century, this statistic is projected to get worse.
About This Blog:
We plan to compare and contrast the education system in the United States with the education systems in Malawi, Kenya, Spain, Germany, Japan, and India. These comparisons will give American's an insight on how to improve the quality of K-12 public education grades in the United States. Researching the graduation rates, dropout rates, literacy rates, teachers salaries, and rates of students progressing to higher education in other countries will provide examples of the quality of their education which can be used to support new reforms in the American education system.
