The chapter discusses the future of education in the United States. While difficult to predict, attempting to foresee upcoming needs is important for preparation. Global issues like population growth and resource depletion will impact education. The future may see increased emphasis on STEM subjects and technology playing a larger role in instruction.
The document discusses the future of education in the United States. It notes that while difficult to predict, attempting to foresee future needs is important for proper preparation. Global issues like rising population, declining resources, and geopolitical tensions will impact education. Technological advances and changing demographics, like the slowing growth rate of the US population, will also influence education systems. The curriculum of the future will likely focus more on math, science, and technology to meet societal demands.

Disabling the Education System A Case of Zimbabwe’s Mental GenocideYogeshIJTSRD
This document discusses the deterioration of Zimbabwe's education system under the government from 2018 to 2023. It provides background on education in Zimbabwe, from the colonial era where it was inequitable and designed to limit African advancement, to the early post-colonial era where education was expanded and made publicly accessible. However, since 2018 the government has underfunded education, leaving teachers underpaid and schools without resources. This has effectively deprived much of the population access to education, going against the constitution. The document argues this agenda is intentional in order to perpetuate poverty and consolidate power among the elite.

This paper sets out to examine the challenges of English language teaching in the primary schools
and the language teacher educational progress in the UBE programme. It explores the effective ways of
enhancing English language teaching in primary schools and suggests that the federal government, the state
government, the local government, as well as PTA should assist in financing and supervision of the study
conditions of primary school children.
- Thailand's capital Bangkok is preparing for flooding as heavy rains have caused widespread flooding across Southeast Asia, killing 500 people.
- The Thai capital has reinforced dikes to hold off floodwaters that have ravaged central and northern Thailand. Bangkok expects high water this weekend as flood runoff reaches the city at the same time as high tides in the Gulf of Thailand.
- Authorities in Bangkok acknowledge some flooding is possible but say they are doing all they can to prevent it and believe the situation remains manageable for now.
The document discusses priorities for inclusive education for indigenous peoples. It notes that while progress has been made towards education goals, indigenous groups still face barriers to equal access and benefit from education. Effective approaches focus on developing tailored education programs that are culturally and linguistically appropriate for each indigenous community and give indigenous peoples control over their own educational systems. More support is still needed to fully implement these community-based approaches and guarantee indigenous peoples can exercise their right to culturally suitable education.

Geothermal power generates electricity from steam produced underground. In New Zealand, nine geothermal power stations are located mostly in the Taupo area, with more planned in Waikato and Bay of Plenty. Hot steam turns turbines that spin to generate electricity, which then travels through power lines. This electricity could power school heaters since geothermal energy produces electricity that then runs through power lines into plugs and heaters.
The document discusses the hope of Israel returning from exile and being restored to prosperity in their homeland. It provides several passages from biblical and extra-biblical sources that foretell of Israel's exile as punishment for sins but also of their eventual return and restoration under God. The passages describe Israel being gathered from among the nations and returning to Jerusalem to dwell in security and prosperity in the land once again under God's protection and blessing.
This document provides passages from the Old Testament that discuss God commanding humans to be fruitful and multiply, filling the earth, and God blessing them and their offspring. Many passages state that God will bless humans and make their offspring as numerous as the stars or dust, and that through their offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed. The passages discuss God establishing his covenant with individuals like Abraham to give them and their offspring the land of Canaan as an everlasting possession.

Amit Akre presents photographs of sculptures made almost entirely from fruits and vegetables that resemble animals and objects. With minimal alteration, Akre uses produce like chili, celery, cabbage, beans, banana, pineapple, cherries, orange, capsicum, lady's fingers, pumpkin, pear, and mushrooms to depict forms such as a hummingbird, dog, octopus, walrus, turtle, ants, cat, elephant head, grasshopper, face, mouse, and man.
This document summarizes an academic paper presented at an international conference on language teaching. The paper discusses an approach to ESL/EFL instruction that integrates an understanding of how language varies across communication contexts, uses corpus-based descriptive grammar, and incorporates scaffolded language learning activities based on sociocultural theory. It argues this approach can help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and classroom application for teachers by providing specific models of language use.

Whilst you have to be there for the delivery, and some features of the talk have been taken out, the main messages are below:
Get over Gove and get on with it.
A strong department vision and commitment to the basics of quality literacy and numeracy are needed to drive inspirational geography.
Inspirational geography is built upon simple yet effective ideas that drive sustainable change.
Guerrilla Geography goes to the heart of what geography is. More important than fieldwork is the subject’s unique position to all young people to understand their school and local context and actually change it. Geographers study people and places so that we may understand the world better, and then change it for the better.
Sometimes, some one needs to be prepared to go toe-to-toe with the Head.
Inspirational Geography is not about putting Restless Earth around options time or running overseas trips for a minority of students.
Inspirational geography is inclusive, challenging and depends on expert teachers with expert subject knowledge.
Sometimes, you need to go to the coffee house or pub for a two hour department meeting.
The US Census Bureau estimates that there will be approxim.pdfaccumencomp
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that there will be approximately 9.5 billion people living on
Earth by 2050. When considering humankinds future impact on our natural environment and our
ability to be sustainable, many are quick to assume that because population is increasing so will
our impact on the natural environment, thereby hindering our ability to be sustainable. Which of
the following statements best summarizes why population growth alone might not be the best
indicator of humankinds impact on the natural environment and the ability of humans to live
sustainably in the future?
Group of answer choices
A) in the future, people will be more reliant on technology. Since technology does not require any
raw materials (i.e. wont require mining) or generate any waste, the number of people on Earth is
irrelevant. Therefore, people born today, and in the future, will have little to no impact on the
natural environment and will not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
B) People in different parts of the world use resources in different quantities and at different rates.
For example, the United States has only 5% of the worlds population, but it uses about 25% of all
oil and natural gas that the world consumes. Therefore, where people are born and how they use
resources may be more important than how many people are born.
C) Although the rate of population growth suggests that the number of people on Earth is
increasing, all resources available on Earth are renewable so there is no reason to worry that we
will run out of our most valuable resources.
D) This U.S. Census Bureau is wrong, the human population on Earth is not increasing..

Population education covers how the world's population has quadrupled in the last century, changing how resources are used and how societies function. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes topics like ecology, geography, anthropology, economics, biology, public health, sociology, environmental studies, history, and civics. Population education aims to provide understanding of current population trends, create awareness of population and environment issues, and develop skills to evaluate the impacts of population growth on society.
Population education has a relatively short history beginning in the 1940s when advocates called for its inclusion in school curriculums to raise awareness of overpopulation issues. International organizations like UNESCO also emphasized the need for population education to promote sustainable development. The purpose of population education is to help students understand the impacts of population change and develop decision-making skills to improve family and community well-being. It provides knowledge and aims to change attitudes about population issues.

CHAPTER 14–THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN SCHOOLING
A. OVERVIEW
Chapter 14 presents information regarding the future of education in the United
States. The beginning section discusses futurism. The nature of futurism, why
we study the future, and global concerns regarding futurism are discussed. The
final section focuses on the future of education. Although difficult to predict, in
order to be prepared for the rapidity of social and technological changes,
attempts to determine the future needs of our society must be made.
B. KEY TERMS–DEFINITIONS
CURRICULUM - all experiences provided to students in schools.
DECLINING RESOURCES - petroleum, water, natural ores, and forests.
ENROLLMENT - the number of students attending a school at any given time.
FUTURE - is tomorrow and the day after; the entire period ahead.
FUTURISM - the study of the future, including global concerns and more
regional or local matters.
FUTURIST - one that studies the future.
GEOPOLITICS - political status of all countries in the world.
GLOBAL CONCERNS - include changes in population, geopolitics, and
human and natural resources.
POPULATION TRENDS - the population of the U.S. has a great impact on
public education. Since the early 1960s, the population trend of the U.S. has
slowed markedly. In the 2000s, the average growth in the U.S. population is
expected to be 1.5-2.0 million per year (1,500,000-2,000,000).
PREDICTIONS - predicting the future.
WORLD HUNGER - the overpopulation of the world not only affects natural
resources but also the ability of the world to feed itself. The future will see
many crises related to a lack of food and the result of starvation.

C. SOME PRECEDING THOUGHTS
1. What is futurism?
A philosophical position and a movement in education designed to shift
emphasis from the current era to the needs that will emerge in a period of
rapid change.
2. Why should futurism be studied?
People cannot continue to let history repeat itself. If people can learn from
these failures and prevent their recurring, then humanity will be better off.
While people are capable of destroying the planet, they are also capable of
saving it.
3. What is the global population trend?
The world population is increasing extremely rapidly.
4. What are the projected dates for the depletion of some natural
resources?
Petroleum reserves–2020
Natural gas–2047
Uranium–2017
5. What role does geopolitics play in the future?
Many countries hold different political ideologies. This creates tension that
will only make it more difficult to solve the problems that will face earth
for the remainder of the 21st
century.
6. How can the educational system change to meet the needs of the
future?
a. move to the center of societal interaction by implementing cross-
generalization, nonformal, location-free social service programs;
b. reorient itself to a new conception of information based on
interdependence and cooperation, and on a new psychology of man
based on Maslovian principles and diversity;
c. present values about educational change–sameness and objectivity–
must be radically altered.
7. What is the population trend in the United States?
Since the middle 1960s, the birth population growth in the United States
has decreased.
4. SCHOOLING (2002)
PAGE 73
8. How does the U.S. population trend affect planning for public
education?
A changing school population will continue to impact the educational
system for the next decade.
9. How can educational reforms be evaluated?
a. performance evaluators;
b. overall studies of the financial impact of reforms;
c. analysis of cost-effectiveness of various state interventions with the
same specific objectives;
d. program evaluation;
e. impact of evaluation of several state interventions with the same
general goal;
f. studies of the cumulative effects of all state reforms in omnibus bills;
g. research that isolates cause and effect relationships.
10. What will the curriculum in the future include?
Some conclusion concerning the future curriculum can be drawn from
literature. The basic academic curriculum will continue to be stressed. The
nature of this basic curriculum will be determined at state and local levels,
with strong recommendations at the national level. There will, however, be
an increased emphasis on math and science, along with technology.
11. What role will technology play in the future?
a. improve instruction in conventional subjects;
b. allow the efficient teaching of types of knowledge and skills previously
too expensive to include in the curriculum;
c. improve research into the teaching/learning process;
d. expand the number of students per teacher without increasing costs or
decreasing quality.
12. What is the status of predictions made in 1974 concerning education?
Obviously, some of the predictions made more than three decades ago are
on their way to coming to fruition; others will never occur. Still others,
while not achieved at this point, still have a chance to occur.

D. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS AND EXERCISES
1. Why should we study the future?
By studying the future, policy makers and leaders will be more capable of
preparing for what will occur in the next 12, 20, or even 50 years.
Studying and forecasting the future are important for several reasons.
People cannot continue to let history repeat itself. The world has
experienced many failures; if people can learn from these failures and
prevent their recurring, then humanity will be better off.
2. What issues are general futurists concerned with?
a. population trends;
b. natural resources;
c. curriculum for the future;
d. technology of the future.
3. What issues are educational futurists concerned with?
a. population trends;
b. maintaining school reforms;
c. curriculum for the future;
d. technology of the future.
4. What kind of moral problems might surface in the future that might
lead to turbulent controversies in regard to intelligent machines?
a. Some authorities indicate that a machine can think like or better than a
human being. If a computer can, does it have rights?
b. If a machine has rights, does it have the right not to be turned off?
c. If a machine can be turned off against its will, must some guaranteed
backup be provided that will keep in existence its memories and
program (habits) while it is being unplugged (sleeping)?
d. If the machine desired not to be turned off, must its wishes be heeded
by the people who made it?
e. Will it be hard to deny the machine rights guaranteed to persons by the
constitutions of numerous nations?
f. Will the right to not be turned off (life), to choose its own mode of
operation (liberty), to learn whatever it chooses to learn (the pursuit of
happiness) be denied to machines?
6. SCHOOLING (2002)

g. If people enslave machines, will the machines object? Will large
numbers of people protest in behalf of the machines?

5. What is meant in reference to the “biomass of the earth”?
a. The “biomass of the earth” means the total weight of the living things
on it, in it, and above it in the atmosphere.

99% of all the pollution.
e. There is room on earth for another five billion human beings if they are
willing to play the part of good terrestrial neighbors.

6. Why does the human race seem to be addicted to traveling with great
speed and its result in causing stress?
a. Human beings strive to go faster in almost every sense of the
imagination.
b. The following illustration may be an accurate depiction of the future of
travel.
Year Distance in Miles Comfortably Traveled in One Day
1800 24 (on foot, 24 miles could be covered in 8 hours, at
3 miles per hour)
1900 120 (Using railroad, probably took a person 6 hours
to travel 120 miles per day)
2000 600 (Flying airplanes a distance of perhaps 600 miles
comfortably traveled in a day)
2100 3,000 (Forecast is 3,000 miles that human beings will
expect to cover comfortably in a day)
2200 15,000 (Supersupersonic planes will fly three or four
times the speed of sound, to circle the globe in 2
or 12 hours.
c. Will the human personality withstand the additional stress that such
speeds will certainly impose?
