Many people believe that educational standards have declined in recent times, particularly in the areas of literacy and numeracy. Discuss the causes of this problem and offer possible solutions to it.

Recently, a dramatic fall in the educational measures has been observed by many people, especially in the part of mathematics, reading and writing proficiency. There are a variety of possible reasons for

this

including the inconsiderate

use

of modern technology and changes in classroom activities, but steps can be taken to tackle

this

problem. Reaching

this

degree of shallow knowledge can be attributed to two main reasons. The most remarkable one is that most of students depend on the modern technology. A typical example for

this

is the excessive

use

of gadgets in learning

such

as calculators and smart phones

instead

of using mental abilities.

Consequently

, the students’ mental abilities have sharply decreased in the recent years. Another major factor is the manners by which the students interact with their mentors.

For example

, allowing them to excessively

use

gadgets in texting or submitting their homework via emails, which automatically proofread writing mistakes, negatively affect their writing ability. None of

this

would have been possible without the exaggerating

use

of modern technology.

On the other hand

, several measures can be taken to resolve

this

issue.

Initially

, using students’ mental abilities in education should be encouraged

instead

of depending on electronics.

For instance

, governments recently have held several competitions in mathematics and spelling.

This

would result in maintaining a superior level in literacy and numeracy. One

further

measure can be encouraging students to

use

pen and paper

such

as giving them extra marks on good handwriting and well organized papers. In a consequence, students will compete in improving their writing abilities. In conclusion, electronic devices have promoted our abilities in communication and solving problems, yet using them excessively in young age will diminish one’s mental abilities and hand writing.

Hence

, balanced

use

of gadgets and encouraging students to enhance their mental capabilities will result in a knowledgeable generation.
