Blog#8 Case

-

 My case will include a plan of the research that has to be done according to the resources that could be achieved in this scenario. Throughout the previous research works, it has been found that lower-income students with a high amount of proficiency in education have a higher amount of dropout rates in the colleges (Duke-Benfield and Saunders: 117). This has proven to be quite alarming for the college authorities and the Department of Education at the same time. According to the sources, it has been confirmed that only some students from the lower-income groups have performed at the highest levels (Dynarski et al., 17). The alarming rate of dropouts is quite problematic for society and this is a big concern for the future development of the society in the perfect measures. Some secondary resources like books and articles will be used in this paper to show that it has been very important. This will undermine the knowledge about the college dropout rates and look to provide some suggestions on how this might be stopped. Both the qualitative and quantitative analysis will have to be done in this context (Evans et al., 934). These suggestions or advice from other authors will improve the situation if the government wishes to implement some new policies in this regard. Apart from the Department of Education, other stakeholders in the education sector should come forward to mitigate this challenge. The research will take place on the opinions of the teachers, professors, school authorities, publication houses that supply the books, and parents (Whistle and Hiler: 28). 

Another case will involve, Proper communication with the higher authorities may also prove to be a great thing for the future of the students. To ensure their future, courses must be completed to take up better jobs. The college authorities must remember that their responsibilities are that they can scholarships to those economically poor students. Transparency is needed in the programs, which are decided for the low-income group students, This transparency would reduce the fear of the parents in terms of financial security. The involvement of the students from the low-income groups would be effective for the college authorities in terms of improving customer relationship management (Evans et al. p.945). Therefore, effective communication channels like social media channels can be adopted for increasing the customer base. Along with this, it is also to be assessed that the customers from the low-income group families are able to access the resources and channels to share their opinions regarding the programs planned. Feedback sessions would be effective for ensuring that the stakeholders are properly availing of the services.

(there are more cases but these two are more effective).

The third case will be about sampling techniques which would be probability, testing the genuineness of the low standards in terms of financial flexibility  This method is apt in terms of securing the future of the students from low-income group students in the college. In the future, low tax education scholarships can attract more students into the college. (Bjorklund-Young, Alanna. "Family income and the college completion gap." (2016)

Blog #2 : Scouting The Territory

-
After doing some research, I have decided to continue with the topic that I chose in the initial blog post. The topic that I had initially chosen was about poverty and school funding which affects children’s higher education. It is crucial that ever to close the educational achievement gaps (among upper and lower class) amount to much more than just increased GDP and tax revenues. The current generation of children will be better off when they are adults because they will have higher earnings, higher material standards of living, and an enhanced quality of life. I learned COVID-19 is exacerbating the education gap.  Some of the key terms I used when searching up about my topic were: low-income families, higher-income families, education disparities, poverty, school funding, income achievement gap, low-income students, under-resourced, work-study, enroll, financial problems, grant funding, financial aid, college tuitions, college education, decreased educational success and more...

Summary: (Not a scholarly article)  The article describes a widespread decline in community college enrollments, which will drive down graduation numbers for low-income students across the board. Also, community colleges largely serve low-income students specifically Black and Latino students a widespread decline in community colleges will lead to increase in an inequality in

A Possible topic for research paper

-

  The topic that I want to write about is poverty and school funding.  It’s not a secret that poverty is a major problem in the United States. The middle class seems to be disappearing and the gap is widening between the upper class and the lower class sectors of society.  The socioeconomic status of children and their families has a profound effect on the children’s education, even in a country that prides itself on equal opportunity and fair treatment of all. A higher level of education is needed for high-paying jobs that can support a family but in recent years  school funding is diminishing and removing one more source of hope for ending the cycle which results in creating a huge college completion gap between high and low-income students.
