While I was surfing through the internet I was looking at a business article that stated that american students acquired over a trillion dollars in student loan debt to attend schools of higher education. Many of those students default on their loans which is causing an economic crisis.
I propose that the current school system will be unsustainable and that those schools that fail to make the transition to online education will no longer be around in the next few years. The inception of the internet into education has allowed students to be taught by people all over the world. A student can learn from a laptop or smartphone with many of the programs that are provided.
Online education has helped to close the wealth gap throughout the world by providing specific skill sets for the endeavors of students who want to pursue careers in business, computer science, communications and almost anything taught at a college or university. Programs can be used to help educate people who are incarcerated to get the education needed to help them be able to assimilate into society.
There is no other time in history where education is so readily available to the masses of people. Regardless of one’s race, class, creed or sexual orientation a person can get a decent education as long as they have the desire and an internet ready device.
The courses that I mentioned above can be taken at the following web domains:
Udemy.com
Coursera.org
Edx.org
