You are going to have to define your terms 'target population' versus overall society. I think if passed it would harden class lines, reduce services (including education) thereby reducing upward mobility, create a larger impoverished class, and would increase social tensions and resentments immeasurably.\n\nI am not sure if that addresses your question.

Education shouldn't be dumbed down to answer to the demands of a generation that has been abusing so many things now. Students need to work harder if they really want to get something out of it. I mean, we go to school to learn. Many seem to be forgetting that nowadays.

Yes.Fully agree. Besides than can find out the interest of their career, actually the process is the most important. I mean during the program or even the time of organized for a certain event, that's the way for them to get to know what's the leadership is, how's the society actually look like. Compared to the student who just focus on academic, yes, sure they might be the best student. But, the question is, when they growth up and no longer in school, are they still the best student in "society" ? The truth tell us that, No ! They seem like a baby after they graduated from high school or University.\n\nThe extracurricular also help student in term of communication. The way how to talk with people. They know the way how to talk to thier friends and to teachers or even principle. For sure they won't be play childish. \n\nAs a conclusion, students especially teenagers, they should join the extracurricular in order to mentally and physically can be balancing. Thinking will be more mature and for sure...they will appreciated what they have !

Education should provide a broad base of cultural knowledge (math, politics, psychology, geography, etc.) as well as easy-to-use and easy-to-remember tools for rational analysis.\n\nThe purpose should be to produce sharp, critical and mentally flexible citizens who are capable of adapting to new situations in a global economy that changes fast.

-Inadequate infrastructure including computer hardware and software high, and bandwidth/access;\n\n-Lack of skilled manpower, to manage available systems and inadequate training facilities for education at the tertiary level\n\n-Resistance to change from traditional pedagogical methods to more innovative, technology based teaching and learning methods, by both students and academics\n\n-The overall educational system is under funded, therefore, available funds are used to solve more urgent and important survival needs by the institutions\n\n-The over-dependence of educational institutions on government for everything has limited institutions ability to collaborate with the private sector or seek alternative funding sources for educational initiatives.\nIneffective coordination of all the various for education initiatives.

because society as a whole is not taught the fundamental common courtecies of life any more.  It should start in the home with our children when they are young and influencial.

I think education should be free for every residence of every country no matter were they come from and what there parents do.A society that does not provide for free education for its residence is causing problem for itself in future.FREE EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO OUR FUTURE

Reasons:  A more educated society is generally thought to be a good thing.  \n\nProblems:  Adults have jobs (usually) that compete for time. Many have second language issues, learning disabilities, low self esteem, and a less flexible learning curve.\n\nSolutions:  One on one interaction.  Curriculum and materials based on and designed for adult interests.  Counseling and job placement services.

How about lack of proper guidance in the Public School system?  Do teachers work for a salary or to improve the knowledge of the youth they teach? What is wrong with education in (your country) today.   Do any of these get it for you?

Better education - education that focuses not on how well you do on a standardized test, but in thinking and reasoning through a problem you are presented with.  Education should also include a firm grounding in other cultures and on a variety of religions in order to counter the insularity and intolerance that has led to the current international situation.  We've got a lot to be proud of and our own unique heritage, but we've also got a superiority complex that isn't entirely deserved and which leads to a lot of conflict.\n\nBetter health care - I know that a lot of people think that it's socialism to provide universal health care, but if you think about it, who's benefiting by the current system?  Hospitals are going bankrupt because poor people can't pay thousands in medical bills.  People are dying or needing expensive long-term care for conditions easily treatable in their early stages - but that were not detected because the patients had no insurance and therefore could not get the checkups that could have saved their lives.  Their families are going bankrupt trying to pay for the medical care to save their lives.  Businesses are losing millions because of workers who are either missing or working sick.  The only ones making money are the pharmaceutical companies, and they're making a killing while taking us for all we're worth and then some.\n\nHigher minimum wage.  A person who works hard for 40 hours a week should not have to be on welfare to feed their family, and should be able to take their children to the doctor for their school shots without having to wonder how they're going to pay for food for the next week.\n\nThat's just the top three.  But take care of those, and you've taken care of a whole lot of the problems that are plaguing our country.

Because our society is co-ed. The purpose of public education is not simply to teach children knowledge, but rather to prepare children to become productive members of society. By including both sexes in schooling children learn how to build relationships with both sexes.

Try asking this same question in the education department, not society and culture. Good Luck!

You mean, the relationship between a state (government) and the society governed?\n\nPlease post your question again, but with purpose and clarity.

The public school system is designed not to educate but to control and to produce a complacent non-individualist populace.  Read the book Dumbing Us Down (written by a teacher, no less).

No. The use of information technology will aid the teachers better inform their pupils about the world.\nMoreover the role of teacher would be more important and stronger as only teachers will tell you where to find correct information and what is right and what is wrong.\nSo, i think IT will complement the role of teacher rather than lessening it.

The last several decades in our nation have witnessed growing concerns that our educational system is not adequately preparing all of our citizens to develop the skills and knowledge they need to live and work successfully in today's complex society (National Commission on Excellence in Education, 1983). Calls for change have centered on the need for schools to provide opportunities for students to engage in activities that promote in-depth understanding, critical thinking, creative problem solving, and the ability to use knowledge in real-life settings (Darling-Hammond, 1993).\n\nIn response to these concerns school improvement efforts have proliferated, aimed at all aspects of the educational system - school structures, organization, governance, and leadership; family and community involvement; as well as curriculum content, instructional methods, individual and system-wide assessments. While all of these initiatives are important, many have been undertaken leaving some basic assumptions about teaching and learning intact, assumptions that have not been sufficiently informed by current understandings of how students learn.\n\nMany commonly accepted educational practices have been influenced by ideas of teaching from the past, based on traditional behaviorist views that teaching is primarily an act of "telling" - supplying students with facts and information in much the same way that an empty glass is filled. While these practices have been successful at producing proficiency in the lower-order skills measured on many tests, they have generally met with little success in developing the kind of knowledge and abilities that\n\nstudents need in real-life situations (National Assessment of Education Progress, 1981).\n\nIn contrast to this transmission-of-knowledge model of teaching, newer understandings of how people learn present a conception of teaching that focuses on developing "thinking" students who understand and can use what they learn. This conception is termed "constructivist" because it sees learning as a dynamic internal process in which learners actively "construct" knowledge by connecting new information to what they already know, rather than as a process in which learners are passive recipients of information transferred to them from external sources. This newer conception's emphasis is on developing students' capacities for analysis and problem-solving, rather than on having them "cover the curriculum" in the most efficient manner possible. Rooted in the assumption that all human beings have a deep drive to make sense of the world (Carini, 1987), constructivism sees learning as motivated by interest and shaped by individuals' cultural and linguistic backgrounds as well as their different learning styles and strengths (Carini, 1986; Gardner, 1983). From the perspective of the constructivist view, learning is supported by multiple experiences and social interactions, rather than by solitary drill and rote memorization (Dewey, 1916, 1956; Piaget, 1973,1980; Piaget & Inhelder, 1969; Vygotsky, 1978). It is a nonlinear process that requires extended periods of time to visit and revisit ideas until they are organized into coherent, stable, and generalizable understandings (Bruner, 1966; O'Brien, 1987).\n\nBecause constructivist principles are based on knowledge of learning, they provide a good starting place for school improvement efforts aimed at supporting students to become better thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers. Without such a focus, reform efforts run the risk of merely "reforming again, again, and again" (Cuban, 1990), focusing on the surface structures of schooling but leaving the central problems untouched.\n\nThis article describes constructivist teaching, highlighting some of its essential\n\nelements. It also discusses some of the challenges that constructivist teaching poses for teacher development. It demonstrates how a c
