Why The Government Support Women When There Is A Lack Of Funding For The Education System?

One of the biggest hurdles that can eradicate extreme poverty is to increase and funding of the education of women. In the article “Educating Girls: The Key to Tackling Global Poverty,” author Laura Paddison strongly argues that the gender view of some countries prevents women from becoming educated and working. This is one of the main causes that puts the family in extreme poverty because that family is only relying

About 93.52 percent of males and 95.61 percent of females above fifteen years old can read and write. (table ref 9). Moreover, based on a study by the OECD, investment in education in Mexico has been increasing considerably since the early 2000s. Mexico has been spending above the OECD average on educational institutions. As in 2015, government expenditure on primary, secondary, and tertiary education was 4% of GDP, OECD´s average being 3.8%. However, these efforts are still not enough to rank Mexico as the highest in Latin America. Countries such as Argentina, Chile, and Colombia have a higher percentage of their GDP invested in education. In addition, the proportion of students enrolled in public education is the highest of all Latin American Countries, table *ref10*public vs private ed. Enrollment in private education is low in primary and secondary levels, but in the tertiary level is considerably high. In fact, annual expenditure per student at the tertiary level goes up to 46 percent of GPD per capita. OECD´s average being 41 percent. Although these numbers are encouraging sings, according to the OECD, most Mexicans have a low educational attainment and the adults who have at least completed upper secondary education is the second smallest among OECD countries (Turkey being the smallest of

Unfortunately, there is a negative feedback loop in many of these disadvantaged communities. We view education as such an important aspect of a person’s formation. However, in many communities, there is a significant lack of adequate educational institutions. With this lack in many communities, especially in hispanic communities, as noted in the article, there is a much smaller chance that these community members

In Liberia, the schools are very under developed and are still in the process of rebuilding because of the war. Many of the educators were killed during the war because they were forced to fight so there is a limited amount of teachers. Also contributing to the low amount of teachers is their extremely low salary they receive. Instructors of public schools get paid almost nothing because the people that attend there have practically nothing. The other educators that teach at private schools get more because the families are more prosperous and can afford the tuition. Children aren’t required to go to school like they are in the United States. Most girls stay home and help their mothers and are often illiterate. There is a huge “gender gap” and girls are thought to be less than men and don’t need an education. Some children don’t go to school because there is not one near them and roads are not well-built. This resembles the lack of education the girl was getting in the documentary “Poverty in the US: Poor Kids” because she was always moving and wasn’t staying anywhere long enough to attend school. Also in America many children drop out of school at 16 to work or because they don’t have enough money to go to college. In both countries it is more of a challenge for those people that are living in poverty to get a good education but unlike the children in Liberia Americans have to go to school no matter their

Latin America currently has an education system that faces significantly low performance and pressure for education improvement by local, state and national authorities. (Chafuen, 2014) In 2012, PISA ranked almost every Latin America countries below the global average for participants. Chile in particular, scoring ten percent lower that the average, was the highest-ranking country in Latin America. (PISA, 2012) (See Appendix III) Leaders of Latin America have identified economical factors as the leading cause of educational inequalities and lackluster overall academic performance by the region. Furthermore, leaders of the region like, Herald Beyer, push the government to help economically disadvantaged people by providing additional funding and merit-based scholarships. (Crellin, 2012) By pushing the government to provide these economic resources, leaders look to afford people of low economic status

In contrast to a boy, school is not a requirement but helping their mothers is more useful and important than getting educated. In general, the female literacy rate is higher than that of men, but in countries where there are more rural areas it is the opposite as is the case of some Central American countries. Many solutions can be implemented to help these families attend schools but the government opposes.

“Education leads to a brighter future.” Quite a clichéd phrase, actually. So popular, that people tend to forget the true significance of it. It is known that Latin America faces numerous problems that makes looking into the future a discouraging view; but we fail to realize the lack of education may be the root of these issues, including violence, unemployment and poverty. Even though education is widely available in Latin America, people are not yet engrained with the idea that education can be a facilitator for a superior life. Economic issues that stem from unemployment and poverty have led to the notion that education is wasted time that could be better spent

I come from a background which consists of poverty, underrepresented communities and broken school systems. I have experienced what it's like to live in a community that lacks access, resources and education. I am particularly interested in studying the similarities within the educational, economic and cultural experiences lived by women in underrepresented communities throughout different parts of Latin America. As a woman born in a machista culture, I want to examine the influence that such ideology has amongst women and its effect in educational attainment in both countries.

Teachers are the mediators for the information that students receive. When teachers are not adequately prepared in their profession it defeats the whole propose of why teachers exist to begin with. In an article titled, “Gender Equality in Education in Latin America Despite Poverty” it states, “Raising the quality of education for girls and women in the region now means reforming the school system from top to bottom for all students. What is required is better trained and better paid teachers, more local control, clear standards or performance and more money”. There is a huge need to prepare teachers in this region not just for their own personal development but for the betterment of the future of many of these students specifically for girls and women because they are the main targets that are constantly oppress in society. Susan claims that literacy rates have steadily increased but the lack of education among women still remains a problem. She states “While basic literacy has soared in much of Latin America in recent decades…pockets of illiteracy remain…boys are still viewed as more important as an economic factor in society” (2). Teachers are responsible for the future of the students but it would be hypocritical of me to blame them when their own government has not intervened in their preparation. An article titled, “Education and Inequality in Latin America” provides visual representation of the education gap in Latin America. It states, “In Brazil, one third of teachers barely passed high school…in Mexico, 70% of teachers failed the National Teacher Examination”. It is evident that the government does not have in their best interest the education and future of the students when they are not adequately and successfully preparing the mediator of

Poor Nicaraguans have worse social indicators when it comes to education than those at a higher income bracket. Quit ironic in a sense, but in Nicaragua access to education is universal, school is free for everyone, but many economic and social berries block the path to education. As a result, many of the poor children do not even complete primary school due to late entrance to school, high repetition of classes, and the low quality of the schools. Another key factor that has lead to the poverty and suffering of the people is the Nicaraguan health system.

Secondly, in order to reduce income inequality Latin American governments should be more concerned about the improvement of education system. As far as they can provide society with quality education people will have more employment/ job opportunities, thus the rise of the middle class will occur. Why it is better than current situation? Probably owing to the advantages for the middle class, which are clear improved quality of life and increased access to goods and services moreover access to credit market. In this issue, I fully agree with regional chief economist of world bank Augusto de La Torre which claims (2010) that the resources to escape poverty and the ability to better yourself despite having born into a poor family, both of these

After doing a lot of research and seeing the mistakes others made, I came up with two solution to this problem. Women normally take “lower” paying jobs because they need a job that they can balance with home. They also enjoy jobs that help other people, ex. Nurses. Men choose jobs, like politicians, that they they want to do and they get paid more. As a solution I propose women, and not only women, should get paid just as much as when they are a teacher as when they are a politician. Teachers take care and teach the next generation so I think teachers should get paid just as much as a politician. This will benefit women, as most teachers are female, because they do about the same amount of work as a teacher or as a parliamentarian or politician.

Education in Latin America is one of the problems that Latin America is facing today. Latin America needs to focus on their education. They need to access to quality education and upgrade technology. It is really important to educate people to build a better future and Society. There are also many other problems that Latin America is facing.

Many people believe that just aimlessly supplying school districts with funding is the same thing as equal opportunity for education, when in many ways it is not. An unqualified teacher cannot be giving more tools to teach if they themselves cannot teach. As important as funding is to impoverished school districts, when it comes to education, it is the ability of the teacher to connect to the students and relay the information in an effective and engaging manner that makes the difference. Once school administrators are aware of this, they can begin creating stricter guidelines for teachers so that not only are teachers more motivated

Family with low economic standards has fewer opportunities than the children that come from a high economic status. Although the federal states finance private school this school have their own private institutions to finance their own institution. In other words school in a rich neighborhood have a better form of education more supply, better schools campus and better qualify teachers, in differential at the poor communities. Even though education is considerate expansive went you star College or assist to a University where the student constantly have to take students loans, because does not qualify for any government financial help. James D. Kirylo in the preferential option for the poor said “School setting is a place where educators’ are in a natural position to make preferential option decisions when working with youngsters whose lives are affected by poverty”. For this reason the government have a form of pressure to the students to paid their debs, in most cases the student don’t finish paying until they rich a average age of 50 or more. And in the Marjory of the case Spanish and African American are the one who suffer the most went it come to education status. Education should not be defined by race, religion or gender it should be equal for everybody regardless of the social economic
