Education


Education continues to be one of the best avenues for an individual to have a good job and a decent standard of living. Without the advantage of a good education, it is difficult to have any measure of success in our society. It is critical that the importance of education is emphasized at an early age. Research has shown that students who are below their reading level by the time they reach third grade are significantly more likely than others to not graduate from high school. Unfortunately, parents who are not educated are less likely to teach their children about the value of education. Children’s educational attainment is closely related to their parents’ education level. At the community level, an educated workforce is required to remain competitive.
