This policy was introduced by New Labour, carried out later by the conservatives, with the main aim to reduce inequality. This will reduce inequality because its making it compulsory for low income household students to stay in schools and able to get the same qualifications as students with a higher income household. Another policy introduced by New Labour to reduce inequality was the EMA. The EMA paid lower income household students to go to further education such as college and sixth form. However

Courtney Rosenthal Mrs. Crowe AP Lang- Period 3 25 March 2014 American Ignorance American high schools have changed for the worst since the evolution of the education system; initially, it was about actually receiving an education and gaining knowledge. But in today’s society, American high schools have developed into a flawed system that has adverse effects on its students. There are flaws in the inadequate system such as heavy testing and the teaching of irrelevant information. In order to mend these issues the education system needs to be reshaped and refocused to create a more constructive system. Throughout my personal career in high school, as a current eleventh grader in the public school system, I’ve found the testing

Students come to ISU because they have a scholarship or because it’s one of the cheapest university’s to attend in the state of Indiana. Indiana State University has a retention rate of 40%. Why is this? Some students transfer to another university because they only attend Indiana State University so they can get their grades up and another reason is, students just drop out because their grades are horrible before they even enter ISU’s campus.Where’s the pride? I have lived in Terre Haute for 23 years and have seen a limited amount of school pride.
Even if a student works during college and over the summer, it isn’t unusual to “accrue $5,000 in loans after four years – loans that he[/she] must start to repay within one year after graduation” (Zinsser 469). With this debt to pay off, a college graduate is already behind as he/she starts a life in the real world. Thus, due to the economic pressure college students are currently facing, they may be more motivated to achieve higher, since “they know that entrance into the better schools will be an entrance into the better law firms and better medical practices where they will make a lot of money” (Zinsser 468). Students would feel a stronger drive to achieve more and higher in spite of the likely debt they may inherit. Economic pressure would push them that extra mile to attain their goals with the understanding that they must compensate for the likely debt they may acquire.
The coeducation and the segregation by sex of the student in any educational place, either high school or university, is one of the most controversial topics in the Middle East and now in the United States. The coeducation is the integrated education of males and females in the same institution. There are some associations over the world did some statistics and researches about this topic. This is topic is important because the coeducational school might affect the educational level of the student. I realized some of the results of the coeducational schooling since I was in the middle school so, I like to do some researches and find more information about it.
All along educational institutions had played an important role in providing all that skills that people will use in the future. At present time, there are many kinds of educational institutions like high school and college. Even though high school and college offer knowledge to students and prepare them for the future, there are some important differences between them that make them different kind of institutions. At first, grading is an important process which indicates the performance of a student, either this is in college or in high school, but in college there is a different way of grading from that of high school. For example, while in high school good homework grades are able to raise your overall grade if you did not do well on tests, in college the grades in tests and major papers (essays, projects, and researches) are the most important things that provide most of the course grade.
