What are the opportunity costs of education?
The opportunity costs of education refer to the benefits or opportunities that individuals give up in order to pursue an education. This can include the potential income that could have been earned by working instead of studying, as well as the time and resources that could have been used for other activities or investments. Additionally, there may be social and personal opportunities that are foregone in order to focus on education, such as travel, leisure activities, or starting a family. Ultimately, the opportunity costs of education represent the trade-offs that individuals make in order to invest in their own learning and development.

What is the difference between equal opportunity and equity of opportunity?
Equal opportunity refers to the idea that everyone should have the same chances and access to resources, regardless of their background or circumstances. On the other hand, equity of opportunity recognizes that not everyone starts from the same place and therefore may require different levels of support or resources to achieve the same opportunities. Equity of opportunity aims to level the playing field by addressing the systemic barriers and providing additional support to those who have been historically disadvantaged. In essence, while equal opportunity focuses on treating everyone the same, equity of opportunity focuses on ensuring that everyone has the same chance to succeed.

Learning for Work : How Industrial Education Fostered Democratic Opportunity
Founded in 1883, the Chicago Manual Training School (CMTS) was a short-lived but influential institution dedicated to teaching a balanced combination of practical and academic skills.Connie Goddard uses the CMTS as a door into America’s early era of industrial education and the transformative idea of “learning to do.” Rooting her account in John Dewey’s ideas, Goddard moves from early nineteenth century supporters of the union of learning and labor to the interconnected histories of CMTS, New Jersey’s Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth, North Dakota’s Normal and Industrial School, and related programs elsewhere.Goddard analyzes the work of movement figures like abolitionist Theodore Weld, educators Calvin Woodward and Booker T.Washington, social critic W.E.B. Du Bois, Dewey himself, and his influential Chicago colleague Ella Flagg Young.The book contrasts ideas about manual training held by advocate Nicholas Murray Butler with those of opponent William Torrey Harris and considers overlooked connections between industrial education and the Arts and Crafts Movement. An absorbing merger of history and storytelling, Learning for Work looks at the people who shaped industrial education while offering a provocative vision of realizing its potential today.

Individuals with complex communication needs who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) frequently encounter barriers that limit their ability to achieve their full potential in communication and in life.These barriers include access barriers (limitations in the current capabilities of the AAC user or the communication systems that they use) as well as opportunity barriers (e.g., policy, practice, knowledge/skill, and attitude barriers that extend beyond the AAC user).It is essential to consider both access and opportunity barriers when designing systems and supports for individuals who use AAC.However, often the emphasis of research and practice is on addressing issues related to access barriers with far less attention to opportunity barriers.Supporting Individuals Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication: Breaking Down Opportunity Barriers is the first book to focus specifically on practical strategies for breaking down opportunity barriers experienced by individuals who use AAC.
