Social driving force of The Future of Technology in Secondary Education in 2020

Description:

All countries have public schools, these are schools where every child can get access too. These schools are funded by the government. Besides that, a lot of countries also have private schools. These are schools run by private people or organizations. Most of the time only parents who can affort to send their children to private school will do that. Usually the education at these schools are more controlling and demanding, but the advantage of going to a private school is that these children can get accepted more easily into higher education schools.

Enablers:

  • Demand for high quality and interactive education.
  • Small community atmosphere that allows for a lower student-to-teacher ratio.
  • Parents have a say in how things are done, because they are customers. The school takes into account every complaint which is made.
  • Well-maintained campuses, and excellent books and learning materials.


Inhibitors:

  • Government: They can improve the level of knowledge on public schools so that the difference between public and private school becomes smaller. This makes that in the end every child has almost the same amount of knowledge
  • At public schools, children will likely be exposed to people from different socio-economic classes, which can broaden the educational experience.
  • Private schools can be expensive and also very competitive.


Paradigms:

Experts:

All rectors of both public and private schools.

Timing:
