Education Barriers Of Poor Countries

Education surrounds partially the entire world. Children, women, and men all attend school in America to build knowledge in order to find a job and make money. However, there are some places around the world where only men have access to education. For instance, Pakistan; located in South Asia, numerous amount of girls do not receive the education like other girls in America. This is specifically a problem for children, especially girls in Pakistan because they are not going to school like the girls in America, achieving the same level of education. Instead, they are seen as weak and are restricted from doing many things that men are allowed to do, like playing sports, going to school, participating in public events, and even being seen in public. Malala, a girl from Pakistan, sees the educational inequality where she lives and decides to fight for her educational freedom. Malala’s establishes her emotional appeals, credibility, and statistics to promote education for children in Pakistan by revealing her struggles fighting for

Society in Pakistan is one that is by tradition male-dominated. Men are the breadwinners for their family, they are the ones with jobs, and they have say in the government. Women, meanwhile, are limited to a domestic lifestyle in which they are the caretakers for children and rarely are seen alone in public. Because of these roles, the education of girls is much less of a concern, leading to many women going to school for little, if any, time.

There are many reasons why girls in countries such as Afghanistan don't go to school one of them is that they don't have independence to make there own decisions.Malala explained this to us in document D where she said ¨In Pakistan when women say they want independence,people think we don't want to obey our father's,brothers, or husband.¨ She explained how her society view women having independence they view this as morally bad which has lead men to make the decisions and therefore have keep girl out of school.ANother big issue is that girl get married before they even turn 18 according to document A.To be exact 15 million girls are married before they turn 18 which turn into 18millon girls who drop out of school of who never went to school.Many of you might agrue that they all dont drop out that probabity ture but 99% will when you have a husban to take of and children and you don´t have the right to make destion an eduction becomes

It has become common in the modern era of America to forget that many nations are poverty-stricken and lacking proper education around the world. In the United States, most children take a bus, are driven, or walk a short distance in mild weather to reach school. The buildings themselves are typically modern and clean, with an abundance of high quality coloring supplies, binders, and notebooks. Pakistani children get none of these luxuries, particularly girls. Occasionally, parents are able to send their children walking to a small school building with underdressed and underfed students where often no teacher is present, but even this poor form of education is a rarity. Girls fare even worse with a 2:3 ratio of females receiving education to

Many families only allow their daughters to attend all-girls schools close to their home and not many of these schools exist. Other families believe it is unnecessary for girls to be educated because the woman’s place is at home, not in the economy. “Life as an Afghan Woman” explains, “Schools for girls have been burned down, hundreds of teachers educating girls have been threatened or killed,...[and] physically harmed…. Only forty percent of Afghan girls attend elementary school, and only one out of twenty girls attend school beyond sixth grade.” Education has been presented to girls, but because of the lack of girls attending, this advancement of women’s education has not made as large of an impact as anticipated. Central Statistical Organization states “Based on the data of Statistical Yearbook 2014, the total numbers of civil servants of the government are 398,195 persons of which, 77.8 percent male and 22.2 percent are females.” Women have much less involvement in government and it is rooted from the lack of education received by the women as a young girl. A 2014 data analysis from the Central Statistical Organization shows in the “Zabul province in terms of girls’ enrolment in school is at the lowest level as girlboy ratio is 22/78.” Education equality has long suffered throughout Afghanistan due to the results of a patriarchal society, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t looking up in the

Women in third world countries are not given the same opportunities when it comes to education. The ratio of girls to boys who attend school in Afghanistan in today's society is 5:16. Despite how low this is compared to the Unites States, which is 43:56 male to female, Afghanistan has come a long way since in the past fifteen years. In

For the past years Swat Valley with a population of 1.8 million has been a breeding ground of Islamist militancy (PAKISTAN: Militants announce ban on girls’ education in Swat ).A recent warning by Shah Dauran, deputy leader of the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) announced that all girls must be taken out of school - public or private - by January 15, 2009, and by not doing so, their schools will be bombed and violators will face death (PAKISTAN: Militants announce ban on girls’ education in Swat). Schools were closed for winter break until February, However, grade twelve reopened so they could finish as much coursework as possible by January so they can take their board examination in April. The education system in Swat Valley has been greatly disturbed. According to Global Coalition to prevent Education from Attack, Pakistan experiences somewhere between 838 and 919 militant attacks on its schools from 2009 to 2012 (Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack, 2105). The TTP says they have nothing against girls going to school, but the western-style education is not going to keep teaching the Islam way. The Taliban has used acid attacks against girls that try to receive an education, leaving the victims with permeant scaring. Dr. Shaban Ali said, “The Pakistan Taliban have taken responsibility for the attack in threading pamphlets distributed around the city. They also warn local girls

In the United States, a child needs there education and they’re required to go to school by law. Getting a education for a girl in the middle east is very rare, it all depends on the family. BBC News published a article Muslim Women Struggle for an education, and they asked parents why they did not allow their girls to go to school and they said “because it’s wrong, it’s irreligious, it’s improper- they should stay at home to prepare for their real life, their married life”. The girls have no option and have to obey their parents. A lack of education means that these girls are not going to have the knowledge in order to read, write, and solve mathematic problems . Women in the Middle East are not considered equal with males because the society they live in doesn't accept the idea of them having equal opportunity as male

One of them being the long term effects that has resulted because of this issue. Because of their education neglection, they lack many basic skills that are needed for work. Reading and writing is needed for many jobs, and if they are illiterate they are unable to perform the assigned tasks. Also, there are some jobs in Pakistan that are specific to women, and because of the lack of skills these jobs are always in need. Another long term effect is that many girls are forced into marriage at a young age. Their lack of education leads them to marry an older working man because according to some Pakistani representatives, girls should be prepared to become 'obedient' wives and mothers rather than be educated (Girl’s Education in Pakistan, 2013). Poverty and debt is another long term effect that many are facing because of their lack of education. Women are unable to get a decent paying job to support themselves or their children if they do not have the skills needed for the job. Historical significance is also seen through the Taliban. They are a group of people who have gained power throughout the years and because of them many actions were created. Undeserved deaths, many bombings and unnecessary violence, strict rules, and banning of ordinary things are just a few (Who are the Taliban, 2015). One last reason that the issue of girl’s education in Pakistan has historical significance to it is that many have been inspired by it. Malala was just the start of it, and it inspired girls and women of all ages in not only Pakistan, but all over the world to fight for their education. Many different organizations are working to help increase the number of girls that attend school all over the world. Some are The Global Business Coalition for Education, A World at School, and The Malala Fund. Marriage-free child zones are also being set up in countries where girls are being married off at a young

Being un-educated is like being an infant in a dark room, both will constantly be anxious about their lack of knowledge or information. Millions of people in various countries across the world are condemned to this darkness due to their inability to receive an education. In Three Cups of Tea by David Oliver Relin, the abysmal state of the education in third world countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan stems from the absence or atrocious state of schools. This can be seen by looking at the influence the Taliban had over the system, the backwards nature of the madrassa’s which ingrained hate in the minds of children and also, the sexism in society. All these factors led to desperation amongst people to get an education for themselves or their

Elementary education of children, mostly girls, was shut down in Kabul, where nearly all of the elementary school teachers were women. One of the biggest atrocities that the Taliban has continually inflicted upon women is depriving them of an education. The Taliban has gone to extreme and brutal lengths to not only prevent women from going to school but to punish those who do. In Mingora, Pakistan the Taliban had set an edict that no girls could attend school after January 15, 2009. The group had already blown up more than a hundred girls’ schools.

During the last twelve years low literacy rates have been progressing within females. Afghanistan is among the lowest in the world. Only 40% of girls attend school in Afghanistan. Approximately there are three times more boys in school than there are girls. It is rare if girls go beyond the 6th grade. Families believe that it is unnecessary for girls to be educated. Married girls do not continue of their education. 85% of women residing in Afghanistan are uneducated and illiterate.

Approximately 75 million children around the world have no opportunity to attend primary school. Of the 75 million, most of them are girls due to tradition or parents that hold them back from attending ("Main Navigation"). Other factors that affect children from going to school is because of conflicts and wars that result in schools to be destroyed and families to flee the country. Lack of education is a growing crisis due to many factors in developing countries but it has the power pull a country out of poverty and make them economically stable and attract other countries to trade, therefore it should be seen as a priority. Developed countries are involved to help countries increase their education because every child should have the

Children from Canada and other first world countries are fortunate enough to be able to attend free schooling facilities with the proper educational tools and infrastructure (in terms of classroom sizes). Schools are a short walk away. Many children in their teenage years that live in first world countries have likely never questioned their right to go to school. Sadly, many children in Afghanistan are not able to attend school. In fact, only 28% of the adult population in Afghanistan is literate. 42% of Afghan children do not have access to proper schooling facilities as there are very few and located far away from some children’s homes. Between 1996 and 2001, the Taliban restricted all women from going to school. They even stopped female teachers from coming to their job every

There are different students with different needs; no two students are exactly the same. An educator has to understand the child to be able to help facilitate their needs. A student who has learning disabilities in written expression, that was not born in the United States, whose family has fallen on hard times, who is in a new environment, and has a mom working two jobs to make ends meet needs additional love, help and encouragement. (This student will be referred to as Sloane, an eight-year-old student in the third grade.) Understanding all of the factors is this child’s life is important for both the student’s educational success as well as her emotional stability.
