Education is a significant steward of society, determining the development of individual and professional knowledge, which in turn creates a community's growth and prosperity. Regarding education, which is considered a crucial sector, two key problems that are being discussed a lot are public school choice programs and the high price of higher education.

[...] Still, rather, it is shaped by macroeconomic factors, governmental policies, and the level of education in a society in general. Attachment Theory Attachment theory, which John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth developed, emphasizes the importance of early attachments in the lives of individuals for their social and emotional growth. If they incorporate this theory, it can be applied not only to parent-child relationships but also in the context of educating institutions and their effect on students' sense of belonging, ties, and attachment.
