My School's Current and Future Challenges
The learning process is always not easy, and schools experience different challenges every day. For many school administrators and stakeholders, they are wondering whether they can have concrete solutions to the currently experienced challenges in school. There are different challenges in different aspects of life such as, lifestyle, finances, technology, and social factors. However, as schools strive to implement changes to solve the challenges, the world is rapidly advancing, creating more problems.
Technology
On the verge of new and advanced technology, our school is creating more space to accommodate almost every student. On this aspect, they have developed virtual programs that are accessed online. Due to poor internet connection in school, some programs are difficult to run, making students perform poorly. Online education is the most typical means of learning in the current world, reflecting the need for smooth and efficient internet connectivity. Moreover, technology has contributed negatively in school; for example, it distracts creativity since students solely depend on technology to acquire information. We have experienced a lot of unethical practices in school. Due to high-end tech devices' availability, students are using artificial intelligence scientific know-how to create fake identities (Armstrong & Franklin, 2008).
Consequently, students also engage in cybercrime activities, which push them to cheat on exams barring accountability and integrity. Technology has made it much difficult for teachers to assess students' performance and productivity, which poses a threat to the future of schools.
