Education and National Security
Education is essential for the advancement of our nation as well as our children. A good education gives children the ability to succeed physically, intellectually, and emotionally. The American nation has been labeled as having a threat to national security because of the education system failing to provide the needed learning and skills to know how to protect the nation. The condition of America's education system has become a major issue concerned with the security of the nation and citizens.
There are several core factors causing the education system to fail (Kache, 2012). There is a lack of emphasis on civics for students to learn theoretical and practical aspects of society. The emphasis of civil law, civil code, and the role of the government, as well as the citizen's responsibilities are not enough for national security.

Failures in America's education system poses threats to national security with economic growth and competitiveness, U.S. public safety, intellectual property, U.S. Global awareness, and U.S. unity and cohesion (Kache, 2012). National security is linked to human capital. The education system is what builds the strength of the human capital. If human capital is weakened by the education system, the national security will be weakened as well. The education system is not preparing students for the global workforce. The global workforce is what builds the American economy, as well as teaches the interactions of working with other countries for the global economy.
The Country Safety Defense Department statistic shows that 75% of American youth do not qualify for the armed forces because of the lack of a high school diploma, physical factors, such as obesity and criminal records, and 30% do not pass the aptitude…
