Dr. Rich McGrath Blogs About Role of Education and Workforce
By: Dr. Rich
 
May 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Education is beginning to recognize that school performance and accountability is tantamount to the Director of Quality role in every manufacturing plant.  Some of this shift is taking place because No Child Left Behind, while valiant in concept ten years ago, is not equally suitable to all learning, all children, or all schools.  Nearly two thirds of all states have requested or received waivers from the Department of Education to measure performance and achievement using metrics most suitable to the desired performance outcomes.
McGrath blogs about this issue at www.drrichmcgrath.com.
According to McGrath, “There are more than six millions jobs available in the United States and an unemployment rate stubbornly stuck above 8%.  These two pieces of information would appear incongruent, yet employers regularly insist that basic skillsets, rudimentary math and basic reading and comprehension are lacking among more than 80% of all applicants.  It is impossible to examine the role of preparing a future workforce without looking at early education…all roads lead to elementary education.  Sadly, the simple well-tested practices of lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen Blitz events, are completely unpracticed in the field of education.”
Children of poverty do not have the same access to technology and the internet as more affluent students, creating a greater disparity of needed skills in the workplace.
