Description of problem

Education sector is the most important domain in any country; one that makes its citizens productive and constructive. While, in the United States, this sector is flourishing and progressing; there are still some problems that need adequate attention from the authorities. Education is a fundamental base in society, but most of the time we came upon a poor quality of it and unfortunately, in the country reflected a strong academic lag, and it is necessary to consider what factors influence the poor quality education, to be generated this conceptual lag.

This present paper discusses some factors that cause poor quality of education, because it is of great importance to the future knowing we are not surprised that this situation is incredible to eradicate basic education.
