2. Social Issues A  social issue or problem  is an issue that has been recognized by society as a problem that is preventing society from functioning at an optimal level. It is important to understand that not all things that occur in society are raised to the level of social problems.  Four factors  have been outlined that seem to characterize a social issue or problem. These include: The public must recognize the situation as a problem. The situation is against the general values accepted by the society. A large segment of the population recognizes the problem as a valid concern. The problem can be rectified or alleviated through the joint action of citizens and/or community resources.

4. 1. Classroom racism Racism is a social issue that is present in every aspect of society, from business atmospheres to schools. That this problem has worked its technique into classrooms is proofed by biased peers full of prejudiced notes towards classmates of minority backgrounds. However teachers can ban language conflicts at school, racism might continue to survive if parents don’t also assist to accurate the preconception behaviors of their children in the home. 

5. At an individual level, racist bullying can have long-term negative effects on: *students’ physical and mental health *school attendance *educational attainment.

7. Children have its place in certain ethnic groups, are incorrectly evaluated as being slower learners when measuring up to other competitions.  This is, obviously, not true for the reason that one’s learning capabilities not straightforwardly connected to their customs. Though by reason of social or even geographical aspects, students from certain ethnic groups lack sufficient disclosure to sources of learning.  It puts the students belonging to them at risk of increasing low self-esteem. 2. Ethnic issues

8. Ethnicity and ethnic groups  Ethnicity – is the primary sense of belonging to an ethnolinguistic group, which is blood-related in nature in the sense that the ties are reckoned by blood and traced through family tree (Philippine Statistics Authority)  Philippines: 182 ethnolinguistic groups; 110 are indigenous people (IP) groups  Major ethnic groups (based on classification of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples or NCIP): 1. Muslim ethnic group (IPs and non-IPs) 2. Non-Muslim IPs ethnic group 3. Non-Muslim, non-IPs ethnic group

9. 3. Unequal opportunity Within the realm of judgment is the social issue of unequal education opportunities for individuals who come from smaller backgrounds. Students who belong to this demographic risk lost out on the similar stage of educational excellence as middle to higher class students of non-minority backgrounds.  The social problem here is that the offers disproportionate opportunities and education system has inequities based on cultural affiliation and income level when in an ideal world, all students should have exposure to an equal education.

10. 4. Economy The economy plays an important part in social issues that affect students. As children become older, they begin to notice the financial burdens that their families experience. In an economy, it can be hard for families. Subsequently, some high scholars drop out of school so that they can assist support the family financially. Students who belong to deprived families are most probable to attend public schools. These schools are not as sound prepared with technology as a private school. This then automatically lay them at a difficulty when judge against to other students who go to private schools.

11. 5. Cultural issues Students belonging to migrant families may not be sound proficient with the English language. This makes an obstacle to contact students and teachers. Such students are not capable to get an accurate education.

12. There is an important relationship between culture and education since the culture of teachers and students affect education processes in the classroom. Thus, culture includes everything that makes one group or community within a society distinctive from another: language, values, literature, worldview, food, religion, clothing, holidays, beliefs, and behavior that construct a specific group’s lifestyl

13. • All students are culturally diverse regardless of their ethnicity, race or socio economic status. • multicultural and multilingual classrooms have become the norm in many educational settings due to changing immigration patterns caused by globalization. • analyzing cultural issues can shed light on some of the unconscious process that shape individuals perception of reality as well as patterns of interaction.

14. • The analysis of cultural issues may benefit teachers as well as learners by raising awareness of the hidden cultural assumptions and biases that they bring to the class room. • In order to educate the future generations of our society effectively ,the education system must be successful teaching all children to communicate and interact with people from different backgrounds and different abilities.

15. • Educators must find ways to offer an excellent education to all students regardless of their backgrounds. • for culturally and linguistically diverse students, issues of diversity, difference and disability can be quite complex and challenging for classroom teachers. • Understanding the role that culture plays in the classroom is essential to effective teaching, learning and communicative interaction in general.

16. • designing programs for diverse audience is not an easy process. It involves linguistic translation although language is important. • more over programs must be designed to be sustainable within the communities they seek to involve.

17. 6. Ethical issues There are certain extra  ethical issues  in education which have an effect on students. For instance, whether to permit mobile in school or not, should school uniforms be made compulsory, etc.

18. Ethical issues Human dignity Vulnerable persons Confidentiality and privacy Justice Safety of students Harm and benefits

19. Respect for Human Dignity Speaks and acts towards all students with respect and dignity; and deals judiciously with them at all times, always mindful of their individual rights and personal sensibilities. Respects the dignity and responsibilities of cooperating teachers, peers, principals, parents and other professionals or para-professionals within the school, school board and community.

20. Respect for Vulnerable Persons Respects and recognizes ethical obligations towards vulnerable persons. This principle recognizes that students are in a vulnerable position and that student teachers are in a privileged relationship with students and their families and will always refrain from exploiting that relationship in any form or manner.

23. Balancing Harm and Benefits Acknowledges that any potentially harmful practices (e.g. lab activities) must be balanced with anticipated benefits and conducted in a prudent informed manner.

24. 7.  Gender issues Social problems in education are the degree of difference treatment delivered on the cause of gender. In certain parts of the society, girls are delivered few opportunities for studying, in comparison to boys. Expectations from girls to achieve high in studies or study further less. 

25. GENDER BIAS • Gender bias is preference toward one gender over the other. • Gender bias occurs when people make assumptions regarding behaviors, abilities of others based upon their gender.

26. Chadwell (2007) suggested that teachers must recognize the energy that boys bring to the classroom as a learning opportunity instead of behavior that needs to be controlled. Here are strategies for working with boys: Put boys to work after providing them with an abbreviated, bulleted set of instructions. Have them answer questions after 10 minutes of work. Use problem-based learning. Start units or lessons with an essential question involving decisions or choices. Teachers must delight in the richness of girls, and accept their tendency to please the teacher, all while appropriately channeling their desire to please during discussions, lessons, or units.

27. Here are strategies for working with girls: Take time to explain instructional processes, answer their questions, consider their suggestions, and probe their hypotheses. Use project-based learning. Embed units and lessons with connections to the real world, and show relationships between the content/skills and the lives of real people.

28. These are some of the social issues that impact education. it plays a great role in a student's education. The social issues can impact education positively as well as negatively. so, students and teachers should be careful towards these social issues.
