"Future Education: Our Youth; Our Investment" Nicole Taylor February 23, 2014 The future of education lies in the hands of parents and families. To create a better world we have to equip the youth with the ability to handle the obstacle to come as they prepare for the challenges they may face when entering the workforce, starting their careers and living their life. Equipping the new generation is much different than how it was with past generations. Now they have newer and better tools that are designed specifically for an early age. Learning activities are integrated into toys, electronic learning devices, computers, cell phone etc. Parents are even using the smart phone helps engage kids to learn. Technology has truly changed the game of education. So why not take advantage of that? While the new generations may have some of the same types of challenges to overcome, now they are more complex, integrated with technology and come sooner. To become the best that they can be, providing them with the core ability and allow full access of any type of tools that could come in handy for them to stay afloat on this voyage of education. Become a productive, contributing citizen to society. The youth of today have a better chance to be prepared now than ever been before. Early education can advance a child's ability to comprehend more complex ideas at an earlier age. In "Early Childhood Education," the National Education Association shows all of the positive outcomes of education for a child at an early stage of life. The outcomes are astonishing! It is a great investment for our country. So why not invest in our future?
