working hard towards dividing and keeping island youth behind others around the world
Many of the jobs at the TMT would probably require a college degree, if not a Masters or PhD in a science or math related field. A good high school education and a dedicated, hard working student are both required to provide the foundation for years of study that are necessary to work in the field of astronomy.
Not everyone can afford to send their children to the many private schools in Puna, but what about the gifted and talented programs at the public schools?
I understand a child would have to qualify academically to enroll in the gifted and talented program, but is there a limit as to how many students schools can accept in their program? If not, then the schools can't be held completely responsible for island youth falling behind the rest of the world.
