Politics and Education are intimately intertwined in having an effect on all areas of life. This article will discuss how politics and education affect every area of a persons life. Stan Allotey Sr., an expert in this field of study offers much insight into how politics and education come together and how they both affect people daily in society.
The standards of the materials being provided to students is affected by politics on national, statewide and school district levels. Government of all levels must come together to support standardized education for the community and country. All people must have access to education, and this access must be protected to ensure that education is available to all people, regardless of their financial or social background.
National government sets general guidelines outlining what will be taught in schools across a country. State politicians and parties set policy related to such regulations as class sizes, funding, supports to be made available to students, and to guide districts in their quest to offer services to students and families. School boards, with input from parents, teachers, community members, as well as guidance, set district policy from state and national standards.
Every aspect of daily life is affected by education. A person who has little or no formal education is challenged when it comes to being a contributing member of society. Having little or no ability to read will limit a persons job opportunities, greatly reducing their earning potential. If a person cannot afford to buy food, pay rent or pay for basic household bills, they are put at greater health risk that gets worse the longer it persists.
By preventing a person from going to school they are prevented from contributing to the community they are a part of. Basic information about health may not be available to people who have little or no education. This information inaccessibility could be cause for a shorter life span for people with chronic health concerns or a simple illness because the under educated individual may not be able to access the information.
When closely examined, it is easy to see how politics and education affect every area of a persons life. Educational standards are set by different levels of government, regulating not only what will be taught, but also who will receive the education. The society of a country as a whole will be shaped by the policies and procedures developed by the many levels of government, and the effect will be seen across the community.
