Education and citizenship are always interdependent, since a citizen always needs to be educated. Citizenship education is defined as educating children, from early childhood, to become clear-thinking and enlightened citizens who participate in decisions concerning society; society here represents “in the special sense of a nation with a circumscribed territory which is recognized as a state”. After I read Hannah Arendt’s article The Crisis in Education, I believe that there are four major…

Are schools in England socially just? There are many different types of schools that exist, such as private schooling, payment by result schools, comprehensive/grammar schools, public schools and others. Many of these types of schools’ policies are socially unjustified. Education gives us all access to qualification in England. However there are still some people that get more than others, how is this fair? This could because of many things such as, girls have higher educational attainment than…

both public and private schools, but it is unknown about which one is more beneficial for these students. At private schools specifically for disabled students, there is a different curriculum that is considered a “more specialized environment” that claims to further the disabled student 's education.

the decision to immerse the child in public schools or private schools requires careful calibration. There are many factors to be considered while choosing the stream of education and this task can often be stress-inducing. Public schools are run by local bodies and provincial government while private schools are funded and managed by private associations, charities and missionaries.

Prior to this class I did not think of race as a social construct, I knew that the idea of race was created, but I never examined why, how, and by was it created for. In my first essay, I examined my experiences growing up as experiences that had to do with race, but I did not know how to articulate the way that racial construct played a vital role in my experiences growing up. When writing my first essay I touched on education, living environments, wealth, and stereotypes, but I did not…

One of the more prominent solutions is called “school choice”. School vouchers, as well as charter school programs are referred to as “school choice”.

Private schools are superior to public schools. I say this because for one public schools have a curriculum that has to be finished by the end of every school year. Meaning that even if some students fall behind they still move on and it ends up with the student taking summer school or failing the class. In private school you have a little more freedom. Teacher's actually take the time to make sure the students understand what their teaching and from personal experience I know that the teachers…
