University Comparison
Two Universities:
The educations system in the United States is said to be, many times, unique. This education system seems to stress practically over everything else, and this is something good, but many times, other ideas may benefit from consideration by education authorities in America. This paper will thus focus upon two universities in order to see their similarities and differences, namely University of Ghana and Georgia State University, and see which, if either is better suited or a better institution in which individuals can learn.
The very first difference, from the simple names of the universities shows that one of them is a state university in the United States, and the other is a national university of a country in Africa. This, however, does not mean that there are not similarities. For example, both universities have beautifully built websites, that give a detailed history of the particular university. The "about" page of the University of Ghana, for example, describes how the university was built, and when. Furthermore, it includes statistics on its graduation and enrollment, its associations and links, and its institutional affiliations.
The other nice thing about this organization is that it provides detailed descriptions of its colleges, which include: College of Health Sciences, which has a medical, dental, allied health services, public health,...
These institutes include the Institute of African Studies, the Institute of Adult Education, the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research, the Memorial Institute for Medical Research, and the Institute for Population Studies. Further, the about page also gives insight as to the research and learning centers, and states that it works with 17 of such learning centers or libraries.
Though both universities have an about page, the structure of these is different, as well as their content, which also proves differences between universities. For example, on Georgia State's website, the President includes a Welcome message, which is quite characteristic for a university in the United States. The website also includes a mission statement, and several other facts about Georgia State, including an overview of its structure, its schools, tuition rates, and research centers and such, the latter of which were also described by the University of Ghana, above.
There is yet another difference here with the two Universities…
Consequently a student when graduate is already under debt thousands of dollars. Most of the time those students are awarded aid that are need-based but quite a number of students are entertained based on academic merit, sports ability or musical talent rather than financial need. Universities gave almost half of their $14.5 billion in scholarship money in 2000 to students based on merit or ability. Students gaining admissions and financial
While one must applaud a sentiment such as, "... success in such matters comes from having determined their own identity, recognized their own distinct strengths, and sharing those strengths with the world," one must also question the hint of ambiguity that this presents when related to a desire to break down cultural barriers and promote discourse. This concern comes from my own experience of the way in which most modern
" (Hurtado et al., p. 1) This idea of a structural change is further girded in the article by Hiebert & Morris (2012), which agues in favor of altering the fundamental strategy of instruction. To the authors, the focus on improving the characteristics of educators rather than the educational resources and parameters given to these educators if wrongheaded and problematic. Hiebert & Morris "expose the assumptions on which this logic is
The 1892 Committee of Ten of the NEA stressed that high schools were sadly only for the elite, but in the succeeding century, there was a marked increase of national wealth, improved living standard and a greater demand for better trained labor force. This led to reorganization of secondary education into one that would cater to the population's growing industrial democracy and the cardinal principles of secondary education were
Our K-12 Education SystemSocial justice is a form of commitment that helps achieve equality. In education, social justice helps in reducing inequality among students and their families who happen to be at diverse socioeconomic levels. Thus, social justice helps eliminate cases arising from inequalities in economic, cultural and social practices. Despite the need to eliminate injustices, there are still inherent gaps in the education system. These gaps largely exist for
