As mentioned in my blog of yesterday I will be giving you further data on the International Association of Scientologists and their involvement to create a better society. One of their areas of involvement is education. The International Association of Scientologists provides grants to bring Study Technology to countries and communities accross the world. To get more reality on the study problems children run into go to the Applied Scholastics website or Effective Solutions. Here is some data I found on the Effective Solutions website as to why children have a problem with study.
At the root of educational failures lies a fundamental problem that has been almost universally overlooked: Students have never been taught how to learn.
Children are thrown into their school years and basic subjects without ever first being taught how to go about learning those subjects. As they grow older they are confronted by more and more complex areas of study, still without ever having acquired the skills with which to assimilate information, evaluate its relative importance and put it to use.
This has been the vital missing ingredient that has hampered all fields of study. It handicaps both children in school and adults in life.
