There’s no doubt that children are the future of any country, and National Support Public Education Day on July 30 aims to raise awareness about this fact. Education is a basic and important right of all human beings. A nation can only hope to move forward in all aspects of life if its citizens are sufficiently educated. By learning about the intricacies of science, technology, social issues, and commerce, students will be able to pinpoint which sectors need improvement and which can lead them to the most advantageous position on the world stage.
The first National Support Public Education Day was commemorated in 2010. If we are to look at the history of formal schooling, many records state that Egypt may have had precedent in forming a school system. During the reign of Mentuhotep II in 2000 B.C., schools were developed to educate rich and influential people’s children.
The public education sector in America, however, doesn’t restrict itself to only the rich and influential. It opens its doors and gives a seat to any child that comes to live in the district. The Founding Fathers of the U.S. were of the strong belief that a truly democratic country can only become strong if all of its citizens have access to education. If people are educated, they can be more aware of the political and social issues plaguing the nation and will be able to make better decisions when taking part in civilian duties and elections. Schooling would teach people to critically analyze the information presented to them, thus making better decisions as a result of it.
The Forney Education Foundation understands how important the support of the Forney Family is to the teachers and students in FISD. Since the beginning of FEF in the 2003-2004 school year, the Board of Directors has strived to enhance and elevate the educational opportunities in Forney ISD.
