Issues Facing Educators

Introduction

Educational institutions play a very vital role in molding the way in which the students perform. Moreover, they also groom the child with respect to its educational and behavioral abilities.

Therefore, it is more important for the schools especially those who have enrolled students in the primary level to provide the best facilities to the students. This is important because the students learn that their school teaches them. In this paper, I have interviewed the school administrator, Susan Vicotria, who is the administrative officer at a school. The paper also includes a personal reflection summary regarding what has been learned from the interview.

What are the different problems facing educators?

First, there are many ways students differ from each other with a high degree which is determined by the experience they need in learning. Students prefer hereditary skills and abilities and skills gained due to the preparation and experience in the media in which they used to live.
