PALTIO
malfunction in the networkingPROBLEM/GAP
malfunction in the networkingPROBLEM/GAP
Current educational social networks are vocationally oriented versus interest oriented.
Due to pressure and stress students may take the wrong path towards
an academic or occupational pursuit.
We hope to create a system where students can tap into their interests and understand
how to apply it in the real world.
Supporting statistics
01 Economic mobility, the chance that children of the poor or middle class will climb up the income ladder, has not changed significantly over the last three decades.
02 Taken as a whole, 48 percent of roughly 210,000 test-takers met the state's competency standards on the reading and writing exam, which is part of a broader campaign by state officials to ratchet up academic requirements from kindergarten through 12th grade.
03 By 12th grade, U.S. students are scoring near the bottom of all industrialized nations. Our intervention may influence this issue. We have one of the highest high school dropout rates in the industrialized world. Many who graduate do not go onto college.
04 Many who graduate do not go onto college. And many who do go on to college are not well-prepared – and end up dropping out. That is one reason why the U.S. college dropout rate is also one of the highest in the industrialized world. The poor performance of our high schools in preparing students for college is a major reason why the United States has now dropped from first to fifth in the percentage of young adults with a college degree.
05 Half of all students starting high school today are unlikely to get a job that allows them to support a family.
