some of the major issues plaguing the educational system

The world is a much smaller place than it used to be; nowadays students come from different multiracial backgrounds. A lot of such children struggle with their own identities because of the difficulty of the society that they are put in. They have to go through a constant reminder of who they are. Most present educational system has failed the multiracial child by not recognizing them and not encouraging them to embrace their full identity with a constant reminder that they are different from the children of the land. It is very important that the educational institutions include and recognize multiracial children and the multiracial people who are part of the history of the country.

Another issue that plagues the education system is the technological developments that have taken place. These are related to both the system as well as the society. Not all students would be having he means to own a computer and have access to the internet for study related purposes. There is vast divide in the economic status of a lot of children and their families as compared to their fellow students in the same school and classes. Students that do not have access to technology at their homes are often left behind in studies. There are schools that do not have adequate technological facilities that can be availed by children and as such they are not able to prepare their students with respect to technology as other schools would. This greatly affects the performance of the child in further education. It is important that ministries, governments and school authorities should ensure that each and every child is provided with an equal opportunity to learn and adapt to the technology for his or her development. They should further ensure that there is an universal and equal level of technology available for all the students.
