<bot>: The biggest challenges facing the modern education system include an increased focus on standardized testing and limited resources for access to a quality education for all students, uneven educational attainment and quality across different schools or districts, and a need to modernize curriculum and teaching methods to keep up with the ever-changing technological environment.
