The problem on quality of education is also felt in many parts of the world since this is also a pressing concern. Many people in the old generation all over the world and not only in Britain are saying that during their time the quality and standard of education is high and they wonder why the new leaders in education are not following their footsteps.

The same feeling is also shared by Chris Parry, head of the biggest organization of independent schools in Britain. Parry launched his so-called dramatic attack on the very poor quality of education especially in state-run institutions. He said this is really different scenario now because children have suffered so much in the decline of education in many parts of the world. There are new graduates that are not ready to take up responsibilities because they lack the proper knowledge. In fact, in recent job fairs conducted by the US in different parts of the world, they claimed many graduates are not qualified on the many positions and job available. They have cited that many countries of the world are not actually following the trend especially in the technological advancement the world is experiencing. This is the same problem that many students who came from state-run schools also experience, says Parry, Independent Schools Council (ISC) chief executive. It may sound too harsh for local leaders in the country since Parry belongs to independent private schools. However, Parry’s observations about the declining quality of education in most state-run schools in the UK also sounds “offensive” to many parents but that’s the truth and truth really hurts.

Parry had also observed that because of the very low quality of education in many state-run schools in Britain many parents have also resorted to transferring their children in private institutions. He cited that there is the so-called “cold war” mentality happening between private and state-run institutions instead of working together to boost the standards of education to benefit the parents and their children.

The transfer of many students to private institutions in the UK region is also a concern faced by many private educators because they have to institute programs to fast track the learning capability of transferees in private schools. Many of these transferees from state-run schools are really having hard time to cope p with the level of education in private institutions. Fortunately, there are now efforts for active partnerships of both private and state-run schools to institute reforms in education so that students in government-run schools are given much of the assistance to meet the education demand of the new generation.
