Slum Area Development

In fact, there are still some countries struggling to offer education because they are still in development. Countries in Africa, such as Sudan, are primary victims. According to a research paper, “education is one of the main priorities for the people of South Sudan. As recent studies show, many communities in South Sudan view education as the most important peace dividend.” (Barnaba). After the analysis of school enrollment and completion rates in Sudan, results were rather low. Sudan, a third world country, currently is going through the state of being the most illiterate country in the world. It has placed education as its top priority and may will be finding ways to encourage families to send students.This ultimately has been caused through the poverty of the parents and thus requiring help in supporting the health of the family making education a second priority. Due to that reason, the country is still developing. A huge gap separates the developed countries from the developing countries solely based on the education systems. The paper states, “there is also concern raised on lack of attention to education quality and its failure to reach the marginalized as contributing to the learning crisis”(“Fix the Gaps in Our Education System [column]”). There is a weak management of schooling in many third world countries, which is a primary reason to why they have not developed yet. This is the reason for the gap and

The governing body have a range of duties and responsibility within the school, this includes the conduct of the schools and to promote a high standard of educational achievement at the schools, as the schools accountable body they provide a strategic view of the school by establishing a vision, they set the purpose and aims of the school within an agreed policy framework. The school governors appoint and performance manage the head teacher. They also agree on the school’s improvement strategy such as setting targets with supporting budgets and staffing structures. The governors also sign off the self-evaluation process and they will respond to school’s improvement service and Ofsted reports as and when necessary.

Expansion of education is closely related to idealistic views of democracy. In developing and wealthy nations, education is valued because it helps the individual mind to develop capabilities. In contrast, education has also been seen as a way to promote equality. Having access to public education, in theory, has the potential to reduce poverty and promote equality. If all are entitled to the same public education, not to mention they are required by law, why do school systems seem segregate their students? Researchers have searched for the answer and have theorized that economic background, tracking, and hidden curriculum are a few things that help contribute to the imaginary lines drawn between students in society.

Social Class /pg. 96: Large number of people who have similar amounts of income and education. A lot of people in the slums never got to go to school because their parents couldn’t afford it. From the documentary, many people are working very hard to be able to send their children to school. Parents who send their children to school only have one dream, for their children to get out of the slums and be successful. Just in the mega slum, there is 12 schools. To these people, education is very important, if you can afford it. Just like in The Harvest, these children’s dreams are to get an education and become doctors and scientists and

The strongest claim the author made was that the economy and education are highly intertwined. It is stated that without a public access to a higher level of education, the income equality will grow larger and our country of democracy and prosperity will be in jeopardy. The

Education plays a major role in the modern life to all individuals in society. It has allowed societies to prosper both socially and economically by enabling them to develop common values and culture. Our world is constantly changing and it requires a prepared society that is well prepared in understanding the problems deriving from culture differences and tolerance of one another’s beliefs and perceptions. We are dealing with systemic problems in education, economic, government, religion and culture differences.

The author Mike Davis has done countless research on the topic of urban poverty. In his studies he collects and receives his information from other sources. Perhaps this is the reason why he has a negative view on slums. This is illustrated in his piece “Planet of Slums” as he discusses the politics, urban development, and methods within the slums population. According to Davis, slums and urban poverty have and will continue to significantly increase. While doing so, the gap in exclusion and inequality will grow. As a result, this will weaken urban elites in their work to utilize cities as engines of growth. Slums and slum population are classified as those who are living below the poverty lines, all while, being associated with overcrowding, having poor or informal housing, inadequate access to safe water and sanitation, and insecurity of tenure. This is being recognized as an international phenomenon. To emphasis this phenomenon, approximately half of the slum population in most

The displacement of the low-income population is becoming a larger issue in trendy cities, where the pressure for urban living is surging. These particular cities attract new businesses, highly skilled workers, major developers, and large corporations, all of which drive up both the demand for and cost of housing. In this case, the only way to combat gentrification would be to give the youth from low-income families opportunities like a top-notch education. Just because a family's income in lower does not mean they should be turned away from education. Overall gentrification is accommodating for the wealthy as they get more of a choice. The neighborhoods they move into, they bring everything with them such as the organic food and the private schools. Yet for the poor, gentrification only creates more of a divide between rich and poor. Thus this is why gentrification malicious for the

Furthermore, sociologist utilize the term stratification as a position of an individual’s position in a geographic location, category or social unit (Mostafa, 2015, p. 3). Socioeconomic stratification can be grouped into several different subgroups; education lies under the social category. Sociologist state the access to proper education is a function of economic class, location of where on resides and quality of the teachers. (Mostafa, 2015, pg. 9). If one is a part of a higher economic class it results in them residing in a nicer neighborhood, in which, the neighborhood reflects the school. A school that is located in a well to do neighborhood has a higher quality of education. Where on the other hand, in a lower impoverished neighborhood will have a school that lacks proper

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).

“It is, then, all the odder that major figures concerned with education, in both nations, continue to behave as if the goal of education were economic growth alone.” Pg. 17

i. In most cases, the more educated a country is, the more developed the country is. The concept is easier to understand on a smaller scale. Imagine two people, Person A and Person B. Both Person A and B are extremely intelligent and hardworking; the difference between them is their opportunities. They both have access to primary school, and do very well. Person A goes on to graduate from a secondary education, but Person B cannot because he does not have access to it. Person B gets an unspecialized job, where he cannot utilize his brainpower. His potential is wasted. After graduating from his secondary education, Person A goes for a tertiary education, where he gets a degree in engineering. He uses his degree to help his country develop. Now, imagine a country primarily populated with people like Person A. The country would develop rapidly. A country primarily populated with people like Person B, however would hardly develop.

Education is a complex thing. There are many things that contribute to its development, one of them being the history of the country or, in Europe's case,

Education plays an important role with each country, especially with the economic development, which is the same in Vietnam. After two wars of aggression, the Vietnamese economy was affected seriously so the Provisional Government of Vietnam identified that at this time, the development of education is the first priority. In a country, if the rate of educated person is high, it means the indicators of economic development will also go up. The high quality workforce who is better skilled and trained in an accurate education will be a motivation for future growth. According the statistic data of

Slums are hindrance to the achievement of economic growth and development. It is the duty of the government to plan effectively towards the achievement of quality life within the cities. Slums contribute towards the presence of criminal activities within the cities and unemployment hence a significant force towards the overall economic development. Upgrading of slums is vital in the process of offering economic, social, institutional, and cultural services to the city dwellers like other citizens.
