Education Challenges

It is known that education is the foundation, which is building the individual and the basis of the progress and advancement of nations, and the basis for the process of sustainable human development, which is known as (Sustainable Human Development) by the UNDP for the United Nations.

Education is a right guaranteed by the Constitution to all citizens is equal, and we believe that the developed countries took education significantly and made it the basis for the progress and uplift, and the other side still third world countries and the developing world suffers from many problems and challenges its educational system.

One of the most important problems such heavy reliance on foreign labor, and the lack of sufficient experience and expertise to teachers in how to deal with students, and not to rely or use technical means and technology in the delivery of information to students, and an inability to keep the curriculum and decisions for the improvement of life, The huge number of students per classroom, which leads to difficulty in communicating information to students, change the educational strategy several times over a few years, relying on old traditional methods of education, the spread of corruption, bribes and tuition.

Therefore, the State should seek to eliminate these problems and difficulties to provide better education for their children through many means and methods including:

1- Examine any strategy or decision before the application so that there will be no negative consequences of these decisions and projects and try to bracket first and then consider the results.
2- Renewal and curriculum development in order to cope with new developments.
3- Reliance on modern methods and techniques and advanced to explain the curriculum.
4- Quest to eradicate illiteracy in all its forms and by all means we have.
5- Develop a proper person in the right place and competency-based recruitment and capacity and not on the basis of medium.
6- Quest for repairing the infrastructure (buildings) to schools and related facilities.
7- Education for all and equal and all methods available.
8- Use people of field experience such as General educated.

Education challenges in Arab world.

The effectiveness of Education active socially and economically significant, the number of students in the Arab nation of 16.6 million students in 1980 to 42.9 million in 1987, representing 13.5% respectively of the population of the Arab world, The teaching professor of these 553 thousand in 1970 and $ 928 thousand and professor in 1987, has reached the number of students to 59.24 million and the number of teachers to three million in 1997, meaning that the proportion of professors and students together with the population had reached 24.66% in 1997 versus 17.6% in 1975, and, according to UNESCO in 1999.

The rapid growth of the population, hence youth therefore, their serious strain on education services contemporary Western specifications of the school, which makes the race difficult or even impossible in many countries, between limited resources and increasing demand whether demand-driven social seats teaching or demand economic efficiencies and alumni.

The results of this race-in addition to the difficult policy choices in each country-appear through a number of problems varies presence and severity in different countries and times including:

Continued high illiteracy for the lack of treatment and prevention efforts of the new ones resulting from:

1- Failure rates of schooling in order to meet the compulsory education scheme.
2- Deteriorating quality of education and efficiency of the internal pressure due to the quantity and priority.

Weak external efficiency of the system and relate to the needs of the labor market and guide the system to meet the needs of partial modern sector of the national economy needs is limited, This resulted in negative consequences for the economy and society and on the west and school curricula from their local copy foreign models are themselves the subject of criticism in the countries in which it arose, and reflected the lack of efficiency in this:

1- Educated shortages in some specialties.
2- Flow educated in some specialties (leading to unemployment educated frank and convincing, and the deterioration of wages, the brain drain).
3- Lack of appropriate quality.
4- Up twice Technological and scientific progress in school (current and future) and the absence of jobs or inadequate research.
5- Growth unbalanced and unequal opportunities in the education, and only the school system, the neglect of other forms of education and training. , As well as exclusive, in the school, on public education and neglect of vocational and technical education diversified.

On qualitative there many manifestations of the crisis, including: low-quality and distortion in the current values associated with work and the resulting negative effects on the development and proper utilization of resources.

The imbalance in the distribution between the ages (stages: kindergarten, adult education), and within stages (lack of interest in science and technology have), and between the sexes, and between urban and rural areas, between inside and outside (higher education in particular).

In the end, no question poses itself strongly, is: Will the situation as it is now in the Arab world, or speaking leap educational Arab as happened with all countries of the developed world?

Personally, I prefer the second solution!

About

Education is any process, formal or informal, by which an individual is encouraged to fully develop his potential. It also provides an individual with the necessary knowledge, skills and character to be a productive member of society. The term 'education' is often used to mean formal education. Formal education is a conscious effort by human society to pass on skills and information considered vital for socialisation. Learning that takes place in schools or school-like environment is a form of formal education. In developing cultures, there is often little formal education. Children learn from their environment and the adults around them serve as teachers. In more developed societies, an efficient means of transmission of values and accumulated knowledge - the school and teacher - becomes necessary. Informal education, on the other hand, results from the constant effect of environment and its power to shape values and habits. Individuals acquire informal education from the world-at-large - families, peers, books, media and others. In a broad sense, the term 'education' covers formal learning, value-building and day-to-day experiences. Simply put, all that an individual experiences is a form of education.
