Public education lacks the necessary funding it needs to thrive on a global scale, making it a profitable investment for private corporations, as it is worth $2 trillion dollars annually. When corporations take over the education sector, education returns to being a privilege for those who can afford it, not a fundamental human right, moving it from the public sector to the private sector. This is evident in higher education.
Higher Education in a Bubble.

The Higher Education Bubble
This post is sadly true. People are encouraged to pursue a higher education, but it seems that the race towards globalization is effecting education's authenticity. Education should be a right, not a privilege. In addition, with the high prices of tuition that is a direct effect of corporate globalization, how are students going to pay off all their debt in such a highly competitive and diverse workforce?
ReplyDeleteReferring to this post, it is evident that education is a very large expense, and costly to a household. If an individual has the means and a basic educational background thy can pursue additional education. If education is run as a corporate business, only those who can afford the expense can have that privilege given to themselves or family members. In the United States unlike in other countries, we feel that all students should have the right and the privilege to attend higher education. It is the role of the government to educate to the best of their ability all the students within this country, unlike that of some of the other countries in the world.
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing about the truth of this is that education is the best investment for our future. In developed countries, many have free access to colleges and universities. Sadly, the US has high and rising tuition costs for these schools. In other developing countries, primary school alone costs an arm and a leg. I hope there will soon be a movement to end these costs and work towards and brighter future.
