Online Tutoring is Education Reform

Hi All,

I thank all of you for your feed backs and  positive motivation to write more blogs on ONLINE TUTORING. I would like to elaborate more on facts of online tutoring.

Below is the charts that show how much government of following countries spend on Secondary Eduction (per student)


 




Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Education at a Glance, 2004.
This graph shows that on secondary education (per student) the United States spends more than 17 other nations.
Federal funding of education in USA has increased from 42.2 billion dollars in 2001 to 54.4 billion dollars in 2007. 



Federal Funding for Education


Issue Brief and Resources

National School Board Association primarily advocates for increases to two federal programs that are the largest sources of federal funding to school districts and also operate as mandates:

  • Title I grants: The main source of federal funding for the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act
  • IDEA grants: Special education funding under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
Federal funding for elementary and secondary education programs has remained nearly flat from FY2005 to FY2007 because of a shift in budget priorities and a perpetual gridlock of recent Congressional appropriations processes.



NCLB - NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND 



Under President George W. Bush, the Department primarily focused on elementary and secondary education, expanding its reach through the "No Child Left Behind" law.








NCLB supports standards-based education reform, which is based on the belief that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education. The Act requires states to develop assessments in basic skills to be given to all students in certain grades, if those states are to receive federal funding for schools. The Act does not assert a national achievement standard; standards are set by each individual state.

I wish best luck to the Indian students to get the benefit of online tutoring soon.


Happy Tutoring!!!
