OTHER PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
FACING THE GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
A. SOCIAL PROMOTION
COMMONLY KNOWN AS MASS PROMOTION
SOCIAL PROMOTION
IS THE PRACTICE OF PROMOTING
A STUDENT TO THE NEXT GRADE
DESPITE THEIR POOR GRADES IN
ORDER TO KEEP THEM WITH SOCIAL
PEERS.
ACCORDING TO
ADVOCATES OF SOCIAL PROMOTION…
• DONE SO AS NOT TO HARM THE
STUDENT’S SELF-ESTEEM
• TO KEEP STUDENTS TOGETHER BY AGE
• TO ALLOW TEACHERS TO GET RID OF
PROBLEM STUDENTS

B. LEARNING GAPS
IS A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN WHAT A
STUDENT HAS LEARNED AND WHAT A
STUDENT WAS EXPECTED TO LEARN BY A
SPECIFIC POINT IN EDUCATION
TYPES OF LEARNING GAPS

TYPES OF LEARNING GAPS

1. KNOWLEDGE GAPS
THIS IS WHEN STUDENTS DON’T
HAVE THE INFORMATION THEY
NEED TO UNDERSTAND A NEW TOPIC.
1. KNOWLEDGE GAPS
1. KNOWLEDGE
GAPS
2. SKILLS GAPS
THIS IS WHEN STUDENTS KNOW THE
THEORY BUT LACK THE PRACTICE TO
DO THINGS WELL.
ACCORDING TO A REPORT BY THE

NATIONAL SKILLS COALITION, NEARLY 7
MILLION AMERICAN WORKERS ARE
UNDEREMPLOYED OR UNDEREMPLOYED
DUE TO A LACK OF SKILLS.
A STUDY BY THE MANPOWERGROUP

FOUND THAT 32% OF EMPLOYERS
WORLDWIDE NEED MORE SUITABLE
CANDIDATES WITH THE SKILLS TO FILL
JOB VACANCIES.
3. COMMUNICATION GAPS
THIS IS WHEN STUDENTS HAVE
TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING OR SHARING
INFORMATION EFFECTIVELY.
COMMUNICATION GAP EXAMPLE:
A STUDENT WHO UNDERSTANDS MATH PROBLEMS

BUT CAN’T EXPLAIN HOW THEY GOT THE ANSWER.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL GAPS
THIS GAP HAPPENS WHEN STUDENTS
DON’T HAVE A GOOD PLACE TO LEARN. LIKE A
QUIET ROOM OR ACCESS TO SCHOOL
MATERIALS.
ENVIRONMENTAL
FACING GAPS INCLUDED
THE GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM THINGS LIKE:
•LIMITED SPACE IN FAMILY HOMES

•INADEQUATE OR SLOW INTERNET CONNECTIONS
•SIBLINGS LEARNING ALONGSIDE OTHER
SIBLINGS
•PARENTS TRYING TO WORK FROM HOME
FOUR EXAMPLES OF LEARNING GAPS
1. MATH GAP IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL:

IMAGINE A FOURTH-GRADER WHO
STRUGGLES WITH MULTIPLICATION. WHILE HIS
CLASSMATES MOVE ON TO MORE COMPLEX
PROBLEMS, HE’S STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
THE BASICS. THIS IS A LEARNING GAP IN MATH.
2. READING GAP IN MIDDLE SCHOOL:
A GRADE 7 STUDENT MIGHT HAVE

TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THE MAIN IDEAS IN
A STORY OR MISS OUT ON KEY VOCABULARY.
WHILE OTHERS DISCUSS THE DEEPER THEMES,
SHE FINDS IT HARD TO KEEP UP, SHOWING A GAP
IN READING COMPREHENSION.
3. SCIENCE GAP IN HIGH SCHOOL:
A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT COULD

MEMORIZE FACTS WELL BUT STRUGGLE
WITH APPLYING THEM IN EXPERIMENTS.
THIS SHOWS A GAP BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE
AND PRACTICAL APPLICATION IN SCIENCE.
WRITING GAP ACROSS GRADES:
A STUDENT MIGHT BE ABLE TO

SPEAK CLEARLY BUT HAS TROUBLE
WRITING DOWN HIS THOUGHTS. THIS
COULD BE DUE TO A LACK OF PRACTICE IN
WRITING, LEADING TO A GAP IN
COMMUNICATION SKILLS.

attacks on schools and education

2.5 times more likely to be out of school than boys
and are less likely to return following a ceasefire.
• A 2019 report by UNHCR. reveals that refugee girls
are half as likely to be in school as refugee boys.

• Centre for Economic Policy and Research (CEPR)
“one aspect that has received little attention so far is the
effect of conflict on academic achievement.”
Ways Education Promotes Peace
• Education Boosts Confidence & Hope
• Education Inspires Problem Solving Skills
• Education Builds Communication Skills
• Education Opens Doors
• Education Reduces Support of Terrorism & Militancy
• Education Builds Empathy & Tolerance
• Education Cultivates Respect
Education is a superpower. It helps children to thrive
not only in time of stability, but even more so in
moments of fragility. The skills that help us flourish in a
changing workplace are the very same as those needed
to navigate an unpredictable world: problem solving,
collaboration, communication and critical thinking.
