Answer for Questions & Answers for the future of Secondary Education in 2020

In the U.S. today and in other countries around the world, problems of education relate to funding, teacher quality and the status of the teaching profession, student academic performance and standardized testing, racial imbalances and equal educational opportunity, and the curriculum in relation to labor force needs and global competition. New problems, such as teacher shortages, overcrowded and unsafe schools, and unequal access to educational technology join other perennial issues in education such as gender bias and the bilingual education debate. The educational system as a social institution and individuals’ educational experiences and levels of attainment are key factors in addressing other social problems.

The use of technology does not solve all the problems, but it can surely help minimize the existing problems and improve the educational system.
