Education is emerging as one of the top priorities for a nation to succeed and reach a high economic and social development. For years now, financially stable individuals have been privileged to exercise their right to be educated; however, many factors have hindered people’s expectations and opportunities of getting the proper education they deserve. Although education is a human right, many developing countries take that right for granted and don’t believe that every citizen should have access to free attainable education. They end up putting their country’s progression at risk because many families and governmental officials lack the money or the will to educate their people. However, what they fail to realize that is that all countries, regardless of their national wealth, profit more if their citizens acquire a degree and reach a high level of education. It can be argued that education is not vital to the progression of a country and that not every citizen is required to be educated in order to progress. However, gender, ethnicity, religion, or even the financial status of an individual shouldn’t prevent anyone from seeking the right to be educated because just like men, education is a right for women and all races in order for a country to progress economically, socially, and technologically.
Education has been known to be an integral part of a nation’s development due to the various economic benefits it provides to society. Through attending various educational
Education is a necessity in order to have the expertise needed to successfully perform in today’s society. It allows us to process new information and make deductions on a daily basis. In particular, grade school education is exceptionally important for proper human development. It provides children with the basic foundation for education and knowledge. Over the course of many years, it has become apparent that there are several disparities within early education. According to The New York Times Magazine, children who are minorities or who live in poor neighborhoods are more likely to attend schools that are lacking necessities compared to children who are not minorities or who live in rich neighborhoods. This disparity in education
Throughout the world, there have been continuous attempts to reform education at all levels. With different causes that are deeply rooted in history, society, and culture, this inequality is difficult to eradicate. Although difficult, education is vital to society’s movement forward. It promotes “citizenship, identity, equality of opportunity and social inclusion, social cohesion as well as economic growth and employment” and for these reasons, equality should be promoted (Shrivastava,67).
There is no elevator to the success we have to take the stairs in order to get to our destination.Yet my education experience had been an average student sitting at a desk, doodling in my textbooks, barely hearing what the teacher is lecturing. I didn 't usually have time to study, but when I did I didn 't. I use to always wonder if a single teacher can 't teach us all the subjects, then how could they expect a single student to learn all the subjects. In my opinion, exams and grades are temporary, but education is permanent. I believe that we all have empty minds at birth, and the purpose of education is to replace that empty mind with an open mind. We shouldn 't be studying to "earn" but to learn what we learn today to become "tomorrow". The difference between educated and uneducated person is much like the difference between life and death. Education is the first and foremost right of every human being, but sadly so many of us don’t appreciate it enough. Education adds so many values to our life, and some of the most important values are building a personality and a life.
Education is very essential in advancing the lives of many people in developing nations; diverse partners and governments have teamed up to bolster the advancement of essential education in developing countries. Education is broadly viewed as the course to financial flourishing, the way to logical and innovative headway, the way to battle unemployment, the establishment of social value, and the spread of political and social imperatives (Chapman & Austin, 2002). While progress has been made in expanding the quantity of young children enlisted in schools, there are still numerous who are not selected and who do not finish the o level education. The confirmation demonstrates that the systems expected to handle education issues will need to fluctuate and address the current crises in developing countries through implementation of education policies and programs to enable gender equity in nurturing skills of the their population through education.
Education not only supplies the nation with the academic arsenal, but also furnishes the fertile ground for the overall growth of the nation.
Education, if looked at beyond its traditional sense, forms the fundamentals of our daily lives. How we act and what we believe are based upon the knowledge we gain through instruction and knowledge. Thus it’s simple to conclude that education has become the very key to a sustainable development of a nation. At a smaller scale, each individual 's future is also dependent upon their levels of education, such as: the amount of income, social status, and is also a strong predictor of attitudes and wellbeing(Easterbrook et al). Such a concept is globalizing around the world, and more countries are starting to recognize the
By implementing this right, this will lead to economic development, demolishment of poverty and a stronger more inclusive population. Allowing youth to be educated will pull them out of poverty, allowing them to get jobs, while letting the society work towards becoming more industrialized and modern (Saleem, 2014). Although this article relates only to Pakistan, this idea of introducing education has the same impacts in most developing countries. By making education a requirement in developing countries, it can boost economic growth, build the economy and allow people to get high paying jobs. In contrast, by introducing education, this slowly eradicates poverty as well as increases these economic factors.
Inequality of access to education is a serious matter everywhere caused by inequality of income. At least half of the inequality increase has taken place within groups of comparably educated people, and since 2010 that proportion has been increasing (Bernstein). To help the poor receive more education, a set of protections, regulations and social norms must be enforced to keep the greedy from stealing the opportunities of the poor. Education is crucial in life to earn more. Therefore; encouraging education among the poor can help them escape
Education is seen as the gateway to economic well being, making the quality of the education provided a more important issue in need of attention in both developed and developing countries. Economic growth and poverty reduction cannot prevail without an educated and skilled workforce. In developing countries, one additional year of education adds approximately 10 percent to a person’s earnings (A Global Impact on Learning 2011). Thus it is imperative that developing countries invest in the education of its people so that its entire country can prosper.
Education is viewed in many different perspectives across cultures. Those who belong to the Eastern and Western cultures share similar views of education being the key to success, yet both cultures have their own views on how to get to that point of success. Therefore, most cultures have very different views on how an education system should be run and who should benefit from it. Comparing four popular world cultures, there are significant differences in the role education plays between each. This paper will explore not only the differences in the role education plays amongst these cultures, but also the accessibility of education to its people.
Educational attainment in middle income countries is restrictive, for most citizens education beyond primary school is beyond their grasp. Although it is well established that one of the strongest predictors for a country’s economic growth is the education level of its population many middle income countries simply can not afford to make the necessary changes to their respective countries education systems. Education reform would require a monstrous amount of funding, with issues like infrastructure improvement, and financial market instability on these countries policy agendas, education reform isn’t the focus. (de Haan, 1996)
Education is a fundamental right for everyone. However is that right being challenged in today’s society? Are the rights of those who are entitled to fair education being infringed upon due to policy and funding? These concerns are not only of today’s parents and future parents. These are also concerns of current students who are striving to obtain and maintain an education. Our economic standards are changing and could a fair education for the poor be on the brink of extinction? Extinction seems like a harsh word to refer to the condition of our current education system. Nevertheless, we need to use descriptive words to express ourselves, in order to get the message across to those who are blind and deaf to what is happening to our American education system. So what are our leaders doing about our education system? In my opinion they are not doing enough. Let’s start by taking a look at our history of education system, what is our education report card, education reform, and in conclusion the cost of education.
Martin Luther King Jr. said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” This quote provides a positive definition of the functions of an education. True education isn’t defined by the ability to remember words and numbers; it's defined by the ability to think, with character - and I completely agree. This has been the goal of the American people for a long time. Even when coming from a foundation of poverty, many people have been able to rise up from rags and become filled with riches because of an education. But many haven’t been so lucky. For some, a lack of education is a barrier of success. Due to poverty, those who are in the lower-class aren’t always provided with the motivation or the means to succeed academically. Not only that, but in some cases, education isn’t of enough importance for those who don’t have the same opportunities as those who have an educational privilege. In some cases, being raised in a low-income area could be an exposure to a considerably “bad” education, due to low funding and reduced resources for an education. Although having an education provides more opportunities for success and an end to ignorance, it is often blocked by poverty, poor academic success, and poor teaching; poor teaching can have negative influence to a person's' education.
Education plays a catalytic role in socio economic development of a country, education is not only an economic variable but is also socio economic variable. Education is the principal tool of social, development and unless all societies are provided with the right for of education, adequate in quantity and quality, it will not be possible to tackle satisfactorily the problems of
Undoubtedly, education is instrumentally important to development. For example, having certain knowledges and skills facilitates employment opportunities. But the most important part of this instrumental value is that it improves lives of people directly by
