2. purpose of education

3. What's purpose of the education? for student's self-realization? ,for Spec? or learning? It's difficult to answer this question. but in these days due to many school that want much tuition, many students give up their studies. Even If their parents have no money for studying their children, is it desirable to quit their chance to study? We live in a society that restricts opportunity when someone have no money. But I think education shouldn't be like these society. Education shouldn't be industry.

5. As higher education has become a seller’s market, the institutions in a position to do so are doing what comes naturally: raising their tuitions, and their admissions requirements, but at the expense of contributing to the national goal to increase college attainment. The result is that the United States is losing ground in the international race for educational talent, because although we have some of the best institutions in the world, the whole is less than the sum of its parts.

The increasing stratification of higher education is happening on the spending side, as well. As the selective institutions have become more expensive and less attainable, the rest have had to struggle with the responsibility to enroll more students without being paid to do so. Gaps between rich and poor have grown even more dramatically than gaps in entering test scores. While spending is a poor measure of educational quality, we can’t seriously expect to increase educational attainment if we’re not prepared to do something to address these growing inequities in funding.
