A minimum amount of education has become mandatory in many countries, but few of them can afford the total cost. Overcrowded classrooms are normal in many areas of even the most advanced countries, so school districts have been experimenting with a variety of ways to educate children for less money. The internet has played a large role recently, but there has also been a move to help parents with home schooling their children as a cost cutting measure.

Innovation is now a key player when it comes to the world of education, and many of the new methods have given children a better start in life. Some of them deal with intensive learning, and others make learning a fun way to play. No matter what type of innovations are being discussed, the important factor is helping children to learn as much as necessary to get them off to a good start in life as a productive citizen.
