Education in the U.S from the Past to the Present
Beginning from the educational history in the U.S, it is apparent that the current educational issues and trends are connectable to the past. The multicultural country has constant racial and gender discrimination, creating inequality in education. Similarly, the government's struggle to provide quality education to its citizens for moral, educational, financial, and political purposes in the past has invited the current generation to technological learning, which became pronounced due to online classes during the pandemic.

Besides, when Covid-19 began to hit humanity in the twenty-first century, the U.S was one of the most infected countries. Also, it was the time when technological progress in the west had made the world a global village.
