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

Some

people

incline that, currently,

standards

of education have been reduced especially in aspects of

literacy

and in

this

and mathematics. I utterly agree with

this

idea and in

this

,essay some contributing factors to

this

issue,

also

some practical steps that could be taken to solve

this

problem will briefly be argued. There are two substantial reasons for being declined educational

standards

in occupational and economical terms.

Firstly

, it seems to me some other

fields

such

as

literacy

and

numeracy

have lost their importance with the advent of

technology

. To illustrate more, nowadays, the most of labour markets prefer to recruit workforces who are proficient in the

technology

field, compared to

literacy

and arithmetic. So,

as a result

of which educational authorities have placed more importance on

technology

and have not made all attempts to advance the level of educational

standards

in

literacy

or mathematics.

Secondly

, the individuals who studied literature and arithmetic courses are not able to get decent careers, as a consequence of which

such

well-educated

people

lived in the economic weather. By reason of

this

financial situation, these educated

people

in mentioned majors have shifted to other jobs lucrative

instead

of trying to improve the

standards

of their majors in educational institutions. A study conducted in London has shown that the advancement of

technology

has led to declining the educational quality in

literacy

and arithmetic

fields

to approximately 55 per cent. In order to remedy

this

problem, some effective measures should be taken by the government.

First

and foremost, some decent and profitable jobs related to

literacy

and

numeracy

could be offered to educated individuals in these courses so that they encourage them to enhance and standardize

such

valuable

fields

besides

others.

Moreover

, the government should make financial incentives for well-educated ones.

People

in these

fields

are encouraged to work hard to improve the level

standards

of

literacy

and

numeracy

. Research carried out in some European countries has revealed that financial incentives and offering reasonable jobs were two influential measures for the advancement of

literacy

and mathematics educational levels. To conclude,

this

writer is of the opinion that there could be two important reasons for being decline in the

standards

level of

Literacy

and

numeracy

field in terms of economy and occupation. Yet, making financial incentives and providing educated

people

in these courses with lucrative careers could be effective measures to tackle

this

issue.
