Sal Khan in his speech ‘Master in
education†talks about the issue offering students opportunities of providing
feedback and assessment on a regular basis after learning every new concept in
class as the basis of enhancing mastery of education. Khan argues that master
in education is possible through "providing feedback and assessment
throughout the learning process, not just after a major assessment." This
concept is related to the article on "education and the risk
society." The article tries to relate the concept of risk in the society
and education. The concept of risk as
discussed in this article relates to what Khan talks about the need of
providing an opportunity for assessment and feedback in making the master of
education possible among the students. Â
 First, the article indicates that analyzing
risk using different perspectives either in education or general life plays a
central role in its eradication. Therefore, to understand risk in education,
there is a need for ensuring that it is analyzed using different approaches for
purposes of understanding the magnitude of the risk involved in a certain
process for purposes of putting in place measures that can aid in the
elimination of the risk identified. The master of education faces the risk of a
student not having understood the concept taught to them due to teaching method
errors or delivery error. Hence, for purposes of identifying these risks use of
assessment and feedback perspective can be instrumental in identifying specific
threats to the master of the various concepts and ideas during the learning
process. Thus, the concept of risk analysis as addressed by the article can be
central in helping to enhance master of education in the society. Analyzing
risk in education helps in identifying all potential threats to certain process
and therefore employing the right strategies to deal with various types of risks.
 The article indicates that risk is essential
for new skills, concepts and knowledge can be acquired by learners. Therefore,
the risk is an essential component in the field of education. It is through
risk taking that a person can learn new skills, concept, and knowledge in life.
For example, it is through investing in education that one can acquire
knowledge. It is true as the article indicates that risk is part of the
education process. If one needs to acquire high education one has to take the risk
of investing time and financial resources with an objective of getting returns
in the form of degree or certificate. It would not be possible to acquire this
level of education unless one is willing to take risk through time and
financial resources investment. In education mastery, it is not possible for
the educator to enhance student's ability to master ideas and concepts unless
the risk of carrying out assessment and taking the initiative of getting either
positive or negative feedback is taken.
 Finally, risk has led to the emergence of
capitalism in the society. The need to manage risk in different fields, such as
business and the maritime sector has forced the people to come up with ways of
dealing with risk from a commercial perspective. This has led to the emergence
of risk experts and insurance firms, which help individuals in the society to
manage through pooling of funds together so as to ensure continuity of business
in cases where risk cannot be successfully be prevented from occurring. Therefore,
in general, risk has been modernized by ensuring that appropriate strategies to
deal with it are developed in accordance modern principles and concepts that
continue being created in the society, such as technology. Therefore, risk in
education can be successfully managed by ensuring that it is modernized at all
times. Â
