“Impact of Poverty on the Education Success of Children”
Background
Education is one of the most fundamental rights across the world. However, access to education continues to vary cross different communities, cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Numerous studies have attempted to explore the causes of variations in access and successful educational outcomes across different groups of people. Riedi, Dawn and Kim (2017) state that learners with the capacity to deliver high academic performance exist in all income levels across the United States. Nonetheless, the success rates of learners from low-income backgrounds continue to be lower than their wealthy counterparts. While the dropout rates have reduced phenomenally from low-income neighborhoods, children from wealthy families still register the lowest dropout rates. Level of income coupled with gender factors may also play a role in school dropout rates or low academic performance for children from poor backgrounds. A longitudinal qualitative study undertaken by Ramanaik et al. (2018) found that for many poor families, girls’ domestic tasks came at the cost of schooling with greater concerns regarding the need to safeguard their sexual purity. Furthermore, with the rising desire of the girls’ educational and career goals, parents often encourage girls’ agencies to communicate openly both at home and in school. Children from poor households are also less motivated to work harder in school compared to their contemporaries from wealthy backgrounds. Friels (2016) observes that scholars have tried to make efforts towards exploring the influence of poverty on student success. According to Friels (2016), a combination of factors such as poverty, race and ethnicity have been the defining indicators of student academic attainment. For instance, African American children from low-income neighborhoods continue to face challenges such as low classroom attendance and dropout rates compared to their peers from financial stable backgrounds. In light of the above, this qualitative study will investigate the effects of poverty on educational success in children.
Research Problem
The indicators of academic achievements are often widely recognized across different sides of the scholarly divide. They include hard work, student competence and abilities, school culture, as well as teachers’ competencies. While these factors have been expansively identified and explored by scholars, one major area of research has often been overlooked: the extent to which poverty or level of income impacts educational outcomes for children. Renth, Buckley and Pucher (2015) observe that even though studies exist on this problematic area of knowledge, there have been minimal qualitative explorations on the influence of poverty on children’s educational outcomes. For instance, major qualit.

Evolving Needs of Community College Students
Historical Background
Community colleges were initially not distinctly identified on their own. Until the Clinton reforms of community colleges in the 1980s, community colleges were no different from junior colleges. The programs and organizational culture were not as developed, and the student needs were rarely attended to in the diverse way that they are today (Gavazzi et al., 2018). Students were assumed to be homogenous, with either a low economic background or substantially flat academic prowess. After the recognition and reinstatement as accredited institutions of merit, community college missions changed and became more student-centered.
The core programs were initially only vocational and for transfer to university purposes. Developmental education was not adequately developed, yet it contributed in a massive way to student retention and the student's ability to finish the program and progress to higher education. Community colleges have been very rigid in their approach to learning, governance, and even administration (Beach, 2011). Most of the changes that occur do not affect the entire institution but are marginalized to transform only a select few. These changes either influence a certain courses based on profitability or the trends in the business world, but rarely extend to other programs within the colleges.
Fiscal policies in community colleges are primarily dependent on the federal government because community college facilities are supposed to encourage the most economically disadvantaged. Tuition is very low compared to the capacity building needed to run the institutions, and the result is that the community colleges suffer from an ultimate shortage in the facility and consolidated programs that undermine the skill sets offered to the students (O'Banion, 2019). Traditionally this has been crippling the system’s ability to change the approach in which the curriculum, administration and governance is run.It creates a shortage of staff for capacity building purposes and an overall decline in the quality of education offered within the institution.
Current issues
Current issues relating to students' evolving needs include student performances that have been diverse depending on factors such as program choice. Programs in health sciences, for instance, have seen a very consistent high-performance culture that has been aided by the level of competency that the students in the courses (Fugle & Falk, 2015). About 98 percent of the students in classes such as a physician assistant, physical and occupational therapy, radiologic technicians, and nursing assistance have seen a very high return on investment in terms of their absorption into the workforce or their progression into b.

Module Overview:
Liberal and Market Models of Higher Education Policy
Module Five focuses on two states, California and Minnesota, as the complexities of higher education policy are examined and the variety of political, social, economic, and environmental factors contributing to the ways in which policies are developed are discussed. These policies, in turn, deeply impact the higher education systems within both states, with a particularly strong influence on funding models for colleges and universities.
Higher Education Policy in California
The California Master Plan for Higher Education guided the development of three campus systems in California: the University of California (UC), California State University (CSU), and California Community Colleges systems (St. John, Daun-Barnett, & Moronski-Chapman, 2013). Nearly four out of five college students in California attend one of the three public education systems and three out of every four bachelor degrees awarded annually are from either the UC or CSU systems (Johnson, 2014). Yet, the state is facing somewhat of an education crisis and Johnson projects a shortfall of one million college graduates by 2025.
In recent years, the historic California model has broken down as the systems have been negatively impacted by the state’s fiscal woes. While colleges and universities have responded to funding cuts by reducing expenses, including cutting administrative costs and hiring more non-tenure track faculty, declines in state support have forced the UC system to increase tuition fees by 50% in three years while CSU fees have increase by 47% in the same period (Johnson, Cook, Murphy, and Weston, 2014). Students are increasingly becoming indebted in order to accomplish their educational goals in California; the average loan amounts among students have risen 36% between 2005 and 2010 (a figure adjusted for inflation) (Johnson, 2014). Hoping to save expenses, many students begin their college educations at California community colleges, which have become so overcrowded that in 2012, 137,000 students could not enroll into at least one class that they needed and community colleges resorted to “rationing” courses (Dellner, 2012). This evidence suggests new changes are needed in the California state system to support students at all levels of enrollment.
In part, California’s steady decreases in higher education funding are a consequence of a need to fund other state services; for example, Johnson (2012) notes that from 2002 to 2012, state expenditures for higher education fell by close to 10% whereas expenditures for corrections and rehabilitation increased by 26%. Historical trends suggest that the state’s priorities began shifting from higher education toward corrections since the 1970s, even though the majority of Californians (68%) opposed spending cuts in higher education to reduce state budget deficits and 62% supported spending cuts in corrections to balance state budgets (Baldassare, Bonner, Pet ...

Invest in education in order to improve its effectiveness
Education is among the most important economic components for any country’s development . A country’s educational system is a valid predictor of its future status in the global arena. Governments, private institutions and individuals invest in education in order to improve its effectiveness and work force.
What are the keys to effective education?
Has high expectation for success
Strong leadership (both administratively and academically)
Proper student monitoring (enabled by low teacher to student ratio)
Provision of an orderly and safe environment for learning
Has opportunities for learning
Is focused on a specific mission
There is no agreement concerning keys to excellent educational performance, when viewed from a global perspective. According to one researcher “effective schools are determined by resources, class size, staff training, salaries, accessibility to textbooks, learning equipment and facilities, types of instructions and processes, curriculum, and student awards” (Hein et al., 2015, p 2248).

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

TOPIC: Problems and Solutions for the Education System
THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION IN COLOMBIA
In recent years, the education system in Colombia has undergone a
fundamental change, leaving particular problems for teachers and students.
Even though the teaching process has been fulfilled in almost all the Colombian
territories and has led to improved reforms due to the problems present in the
institutions. The problems consist of the instability and the salary inequality of
the teachers and the lack of attention in young people who suffer from mental
pressure due to the stress presented by the Pisa tests. The main objective is to
give way to reform ideas in which the current problem is explained and the best
solutions are found to fit the needs. With this, additional efforts and measures
are required for the improvement including tackling the income inequality in
teachers, setting up programs for academic counselling in schools, better
investment and shifting the focus to students rather than the traditional tests in
the country. All of these have become essential for Colombia to reach the goal
of being the "most educated" country in Latin America by 2025 according to ex-
president Juan Manuel Santos. With this process, the strategic structure of the
Ministry of Education for the period 2015-2025 establishes the structure that will
allow progress towards the transformation of Colombia into the most educated
country in Latin America and achieve the strategic objectives of the four-year
period in education established in National Development.
Education is the capacity acquired by educators for the purpose of sharing
information and training students in a society. They are primarily responsible for
sharing knowledge and guiding students during the academic process.
Education is a right of each person and an obligation of the State of Colombia in
accordance with the Constitutional Political Charter, in which the government
must promote the necessary conditions for the right of the Colombian people;
However, the government has understood that the educational obligation has
the simple fact of covering the entire national population at the basic and middle
levels, without taking into account the quality of teachers as an essential
element in the educational process. Colombia is going through difficult times
economically after prices of raw materials, Colombia's main export sector, fell in
2014 and the government approximately spend an irrational amount of dollars in

royalty revenue annually. Since then, he has had a significant problem
maintaining a stable budget, while teachers have been promised a substantial
investment in public studies in Colombia, which worldwide are among the worst
results. The subsequent austerity measures the beacon of the Neoliberalism
policy of the Santos administration, has declared public education and
degraded the fundamental rights of teachers" Federation of Education Workers"
(Fecode).
The payment, working conditions, health security and inequality in teacher
quality have generated disputes between Fecode, the Government, and
Educators. As a result of these controversies, teachers have generated strikes
of up to 30 days, which affects the learning process of students, although the
dramatized measures taken by educators disorient and paralyse teaching. The
demand of those interested in the investment of educational payments is
understandable as a stimulus of motivation in educators.
Another problem in the learning system is the pressure and anxiety aspects of
government exams. The current organization has been obsessed with success,
positioning itself as the first priority of teachers and parents instead of the
student's attention and priority. "The tests in Pisa are carried out for the purpose
of analysing and comparing different disciplines and ways of teaching
internationally" (Jenny 2017), although this leads to high levels of stress and
depression in the students. According to the results of the University of
Pennsylvania, the results are illustrated in outstanding students and averages
that suffer the same symptoms in school, which could be a cause of mental
problems in young people. For many, the tests in Pisa are a reference for the
educational quality of a country, but critics say that this type of standardized test
speaks a slight of the particularities of each region and the needs of its
inhabitants. The Colombian educational structure is described as too basic a
system according to the latest refusals from Pisa, although nobody makes
statistics on the improvement of the country in the short time it has participated
in these tests. With this, there is more pressure and frustration on the part of the
students, since when they compare internationally they feel frustrated when
they do not achieve the required objectives.
3. MERCY ROJAS30393
The government must prioritize the motivation of educators and comply with the
demands proposed by education officials since each official must have the
necessary backups required by the Colombian constitution. With this,
individuals refer to the bets and the question of support for health. This also
leads to an educational management under the supervision of the budget and
the evaluators according to the experience and qualification of the teacher.
However, educators must meet certain government requirements because the
current entity does not have the best evaluation in teachers according to the
Ministry of Education (MEN). Another educational problem is that of mental
problems caused by parents and teachers in children, in which it is suggested
that children be directed by a purpose of the human intellectual development of
learning. An alternative is to promote mental health services through
counselling in schools and colleges where students have the opportunity to
express their concerns and insecurities with psychological professionals.
As it was demonstrated when observing the problems of the Colombian
educational system, it can be clarified that there are difficulties in the sectors of
economic and social control in which the teachers and students are the most
affected. On the one hand, there are current economic problems in the country
that prevent the normalization of teaching work, creating disadvantages for
teachers. It has caused that these aspects have generated solutions with
different criticisms to both parties, in which the teachers and the government
must comply with the demands imposed by the two to reach an agreement.
While, the other standard is in the mental problems in students generated by
the pressure of state exams, which leads to problems of depression and
anxiety. With this result, a hospital service was suggested where students can
seek help and express their frustration. In almost all educational systems there
are flaws, which can be corrected and renewed because they are all part of the
learning and teaching process.
