psychology and education:

The news I chose to talk about schools in England, in the news indicates that the scores of the test GCSE are improved during the last decade. The reason would be found in programs that the government has implemented to improve these scores. Some figures indicate that 50.4% of students in state schools in England have achieved an increase of 2.1 percentage point rise from last year, while in private schools for 47, 7% of the proportion of pupils achieving good scores . Is important to mention that this increase includes the scores for math and English, which appear to be important within the political implemented by the government. For the field of English, the news to talk that state schools are gradually abandoning foreign languages. Besides, there is a big gap

between rich students and poor students in the GCSE test result.

I chose this story because I really like educational psychology, more specifically, the study of schools including its objectives, functions, plans and programs of study. The school is responsible for making the man a social being. The school is what shapes our minds and behavior. This analysis is important and interesting to me. The news tells us of the importance of scores on a test have to consider whether education has improved or not, and I believe that school improvement is related to good relations in the school with an awareness of the objectives of the school in the dominant economic system and with other elements, not only with test scores.
