As if the bureaucracy in education wasn't complicated and inefficient enough, now the state of Missouri wants a not-for-profit group to oversee the math, engineering, technology and science (METS) education in their state.
The governor of Missouri appointed a 20-member task force to address Missouri student's poor performance in those four areas.
Now the group is recommending a not-for-profit group to oversee METS education in Missouri.
The group recommends:
1. Emphasis on technology - gee, how novel and idea - by having an instructional technology expert work with math and science teachers.
2. Implementing a loan forgiveness program - students in pre-engineering programs could have low-interest loans or not have to pay them back.
3. More rigorous math and science curriculum
What I wonder is why it took a 20-member task force several months to figure this out. How much was spent on this process? And, why is yet another governing body needed to make sure schools do the job they should be doing anyway?
This is yet more evidence of how inefficient our schools have become.
What do you think?
