The company will then offer those who pass the course a job. This will created a skilled worked specifically for a position in a company. Teachers will take a backseat in these courses. Teachers will offer one-on-one help and help people work collaboratively. These teachers will be more of a guide then a true classroom teacher.
Another development is in the area of prosthetics. These new prosthetics are uses to make education equal for all children.

As you can see the future for the education world is bright. There are many developments to make education more efficient, simpler, and equal for all from kindergarten to college.

Purpose of Education

In almost every culture and in all parts of the world, getting an education is valuable to a person’s future. But what is it that makes education so valuable? What is the purpose of an education starting from the early stages of a child’s development into adolescents, and from adolescents into adulthood?

There are many different reasons why education form Ki ndergarten-12 is important. Although Kindergarten seems like a place where kids color all day and have recess, there is actually a very intense learning process in effect. Not only are those children learning how to socialize with other children of their same age group, but they are also being taught kindliness, discipline, how to respect there fellow classmates, how to share with others, how to be honest, etc. All of these values are crucial to a child’s educational development as well as their development as a person.

Multicultural Education

It is rare that any two-classroom teachers will have the same definition for multicultural education. The basic goal of multicultural education is to help all children understand and appreciate events and people from various points of view. Teaching with a multicultural perspective encourages appreciation and understanding of other cultures as well as one’s own. Teaching with this perspective promotes the child’s sense of the uniqueness of his own culture as a positive characteristic and enables the child to accept the uniqueness of the cultures of others. Children’s attitudes toward their race and ethnic group and other cultural groups begin to form early in the preschool years. Children are easily influenced by the cultural, opinions, and attitudes of their caregivers. Caregiver’s perceptions of ethnic and racial groups can affect the child’s attitudes toward those minority groups. Early childhood educators can influence the development of positive attitudes in young children by learning about and promoting the various cultures represented among the children they teach. Teachers can help eliminate stereotypes and Teaching in a Multicultural Perspective.

Distance Education

Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century, advances in technology have provided people with the means for a new form of education, known today as distance education. In recent decades, the wondrous array of electronic communications technology has given distance education new status. It seems to have something to offer almost everyone. It is now a normal form of education for those in employment, for homemakers and for those who choose not to go to schools or universities for the purpose of learning. It has also become a very effective tools for people who wants to continue education. In response to this interest, institutions of distance education attempt to provide for their students a complete education system, from enrollment to examination, that is equal in quality, in quantity and in status to that offered to ordinary students in schools, colleges and universities around the world. Distance education is a rapidly growing field with respect to both practice and promise. Students of this distance education are mostly adults.

Continued Education

These two words that can change your life with in as little as two for most course. But there is still a lot of issues that needs to be addressed when you are think about to continuing your education.The Need for Higher Standards of education has become a common factor in almost all the countries.
The need for higher standards for adults and parents is evident, as they will need to earn higher and be able to educate their childrens better. As one of the most important influences on student test scores is the level of parental education. Statistical profiles of schools with low or declining performance show that these schools serve comparatively high percentages of students whose parents have limited or no English language proficiency, have not completed high school, read at less than an eighth grade level, and currently receive public assistance. Therefore a higher level of education is important to parents and continuing education has been a common factor for all.

Change in education process

Education can be defined as a program of instruction of a specified kind or level. In today’s society an education is an essential in order to be successful economically and socially. Most people begin their education early on in life with elementary schools, with the hope or intent to attend and graduate high school, an even furthermore go to college and earn a degree. At the same time, this step by step educational process is a rather new idea, not more than twenty five years ago people needed only education in particular job skills and fields to not only obtain a job, but not have to worry about being laid off two weeks later. With the globalization of the world markets through the introduction of Information Technology, or IT, the educational process has changed drastically. Now many adults of that generation, and of the generation that followed, are finding that their level of education will simply not cut it in today’s job-market. The standards of education has risin to a very high level. The more and better educated you are the better and more job opportunities you can get.

International Human Rights Instruments are not to be ratified only; they are to be practiced too. Until they are practiced, the status of women will not be strong. Though Nepal has ratified several International Human Rights Instruments regarding discrimination against women as a law of the country, more than 50% of heads i.e. women, in Nepalese societies are deprived of equal opportunities in attaining education in the name of female. From family to school and university. Until and unless women are educated never can we compete with men, women are in pity situation and are being discriminated by men.
