The education system that is
prevalent in the USA needs to be modified to accommodate high quality learning
outcomes that have effects on all systems. The innovations in the education
that is imparted to students must have a prime focus on learning and practical
applications of the theory that is taught and it must reach out to the
students, parents, community, society, and its culture. New
education companies in United States must understand that the theoretical concepts that are
utilized in technology applications must have their origin in purposeful,
systemic research, and a sound pedagogy. The most critical region in technology
innovations for the education sector is the cost and time efficiency of
learning.
Innovations all around the globe in education-
There have been several tech innovations
to improve the quality of education in some parts of the world that can be used
as an inspiration to impart high-quality education to the students of the USA.
Some innovations have been around for a long time, while the others are recent,
but these innovations must be seriously considered for the betterment of
American education.

Engkey
is an egg-shaped robot that is used as an English teacher in the classrooms of
South Korea. A native English-speaker in Australia controls the robot remotely.
The shortage of English speaking natives in South Korea can be addressed by
this robot and such technology can be adopted by Education companies in
united states for learning
foreign languages.

Forest
Kindergartens are used to teach kindergarteners in Scandinavia as opposed to
immense homework and testing in the USA. It gives unstructured playtime to
young children and it is based on a popular model of Europe in the 1960s.
Children become more inquisitive in their natural environment rather than
sitting in a classroom bounded by 4 walls. Children are better prepared for
learning and their minds remain fresh and healthy.

3-D
learning has become a reality in Dubai's GEMS Modern Academy. The students are
provided 3-D glasses and things such as the structure of the brain is taught to
them with the help of a 3-D hologram.
3-D imaging can help a student grasp abstract concepts faster. The classrooms
and labs are connected to a high-speed fibre optic network which helps in
delivering science lessons on the 3-D platform.

A
literacy revolution overtook the Cuban Revolution by a storm as a change was
observed when the rural literacy rate of 59% was converted to an illiteracy
rate of less than 4% in one year. This was the positive consequence of the
literacy brigade of teachers that were sent by Fidel Castro in 1961. A
community-based literacy initiative called “Yo Si Puedo” (“Yes I can”) was started
which has now been adopted by Australia to increase literacy among the
indigenous population.

Finnish
schools rank among the best schools in the world due to the ‘teacher autonomy’
that they provide. Highly talented, well-respected, and highly qualified
teachers (with masters degrees) teachers are provided a generous latitude to
teach students with a method that deems fit to them. The number of standardized
tests is lower and no punishments for failing to meet specific standards.
