3rd Generation eLearning vs the expanding gap in standard education

There is a continually growing gap between the traditional educational model, a by-product of impersonal mass production from the time of the industrial revolution, and the increased demand for high quality highly specialized labour force.

In between are the students who are expected to succeed in their exams even when appropriate preparation is not forthcoming and thus operate under personal and peer pressure. Failing such exams could cost money, valuable time and affect their professional career and life development.
According to a report produced by Noah Berger and Peter Fisher | August 22, 2013 from the Economic Policy Institute major findings include:
  • Overwhelmingly, high-wage states are states with a well-educated workforce. There is a clear and strong correlation between the educational attainment of a state’s workforce and median wages in the state.
  • States can build a strong foundation for economic success and shared prosperity by investing in education. Providing expanded access to high quality education will not only expand economic opportunity for residents, but also likely do more to strengthen the overall state economy than anything else a state government can do.
  • Cutting taxes to capture private investment from other states is a race-to-the-bottom state economic development strategy that undermines the ability to invest in education.
  • States can increase the strength of their economies and their ability to grow and attract high-wage employers by investing in education and increasing the number of well-educated workers.
  • Investing in education is also good for state budgets in the long run, since workers with higher incomes contribute more through taxes over the course of their lifetimes.
As a conclusion, the wealth of a society can increase only if the economy becomes more productive. A more productive economy can support both higher wages and a higher quality of life. Better education can result in better skilled and higher output workers. So the question of how to increase productivity needs to be at the centre of any debate about state economic development and directly linked to the state and private educational systems.

MyeTutor.org is expected to bridge this gap and significantly increase the probability a student will pass any exams with high marks and succeed in joining a top university. It does that by offering a 3rd generation eLearning platform with a truly personalized, real time content adaptive to their educational profile, online tutoring using the best of technology and human tutors.
