Educational ignorance has been a major concern nowadays in the world. Most specifically in developing countries like Pakistan. Which tend to neglect the importance of education, as they are more concerned on spending up to 7 times more money on the military than on primary education as reported by UNESCO in 2012. Education is considered as a very powerful weapon that should be used by all countries, because through education all crises present can be eradicated. Crises such as violent acts, environmental and even financial issues. This education problem has been triggered by many factors from poor facilities and curriculums to terrorism actions from extremists like the Taliban.

This has resulted from the availability of various schools private or public ones, which lead to uneven and unfair opportunities between children (Bajoria, 2009). Jayshree Bajoria also adds that students who do attend schools attend underprivileged private and public schools accompanied with pitiable curriculums. Teachers may not be present and if they are, they are most likely under qualified. Although curriculums should be the major concern in any educational system however the government could not care less about improving the curriculums or enhancing the atmosphere that the students come to every morning. As there are no clean water supplies in many schools, hand-out books or appropriate seating (Bajoria, 2009). Moreover, the corruption in education has reached to the extent that the system is only concerned with elite students, as regular citizens can not afford the private schools (Fayyaz, 2014). This all results because the supervision on the educational system is already being administered by illiterate statesmen who have no background about an a sufficient environment that should be provided for children to adapt in (Rauf …show more content…
Since the youngsters do not receive the proper dose of education they need, the whole country becomes defected. Pakistan has a very high number of illiterate adults reaching 49.5 millions as confirmed by UNESCO, with reference that two thirds of these adults are women. The lack of education affects the country in every single way, through health as evaluating the causes and effects of a specific disease becomes difficult for a doctor to explain and much more harder for a patient to understand. Moreover health is directly linked by education as studies made by 'The National Bureau of Economic Research ' have clearly shown that well educated people have lower possibilities to be hypertensive, or to endure from emphysema or diabetes, in addition to that they ensure that they spend less time in bed unlike uneducated people. Not only is education associated with health but also economically, as Eric A. Hanushek stated in his book ‘Education Next’ that education is directly proportional to the economy of any country. However it is not only by attending schools, it is through fully being committed to benefit from what you are taught. That is why the curriculums and educational systems in Pakistan should be developed, or else Pakistan will remain as reported by ‘CIA World Factbook’
Similar to the structure and order of the aging process in Anthem’s society, the education system presented is also very organized. At five years old, every boy goes to live at the Home of the Students until he reached the age of fifteen. During these 10 years, they gain a variety of knowledge taught to them by Teachers that “had been appointed by the Councils”, including information about the earth and their society’s history (22). Such an amount of time and energy is put into their educations, despite the fact that their lives would vary from that point on depending on their jobs. This suggests that the community values education, but only the education that they want to provide the citizens because the citizens should only have knowledge of certain things.
In some nations, school students are expected to reach strict government targets and teachers of schools do not possess time to explain some concepts to some children, who are not in a position to understand the concepts when teaching for the first time. Therefore, parents of these children are forced to opt for private tuitions and particularly for subjects like chemistry, physics, mathematics and English many children are looking for some sort of additional coaching and parents are not in a position to offer the right kind of coaching they require and so they are opting for private tuition
Throughout history schools have served an important purpose; they aim to educate children and improve society by giving children the necessary skills needed to make advancements when they become old enough to make contributions. Although, schools are often criticized, by politicians, parents and in some cases the general population, for not serving their purpose properly. Often the people making these judgements are unaware of what is needed in schools. Society has been making judgements towards the education system for centuries and in some instances, it has been for the better. The thought behind the purpose of schooling hasn’t evolved as much as it has been broadened to include the vast majority of the population and along the way it has
The residences usually have poor health status due to inaccessibility to health care, lack of insurance and no access to preventative care. Many parents cannot afford to buy clothing and pay for school fees as well as provide adequate transportation to school. This sets the students up for potential failure and many
The author’s purpose is to wake up the policymakers of the educational system in order to raise the standard of the quality of education each child receives regardless of income. Ravitch writes to an audience that are invested in the construction of the educational system and the parents along with other interested readers.

So, knowing all the negative results that come from getting an education in the terrible conditions of these schools, many families who have a low socio- economic status try to avoid it all together. However, these families’ resources are scarce and their options are quite few. They could try paying for a private school, which can be very costly, or take their chances in
In addition to that, there is a problem with the lack of necessary resource in a school. Whether this is seen in only a few schools or a lot, it is unacceptable and must be fixed. How can we expect these students to learn, work, and live on an equal playing field when they don’t even have books, while others have every resource you could ever want in a school? We have this idea of education being the panacea of world struggle, but is it really? When we have all these schools that are not fairly treated.
n “The Failure of American Public Education” (February 01 1993), John Hood explains the sundry perspectives on the American education system. Hood tactfully uses cause and effect to demonstrate the viewpoints of a myriad of individuals regarding American schools and their approaches to effectively educating students; he explains how “free-market thinkers believe that applying market competition to the public schools will solve many of America’s educational problems” (Hood) ; “critics believe that public education reforms fail because they are compromised or sabotaged by the education lobbies—teacher associations, administrators, and the legislators in their pockets” (Hood) and “many conservatives believe that American public education is in
The former president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, once said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. To change the world people often use physical violence. However, even if they solve the problem, it is only for a short period of time. Using education, people can back up their statements and actions. In this quote, education can mean many different things, such as being intelligent, logical, having a strong mental, and being calm.
In many countries living in extremely poor conditions, not only is basic health an issue but also the lack of education. Although it is a necessity, “more than 72 million children of primary education age are not in school and 759 million adults are illiterate” (Rights to Education 1). The deprivation of education should be taken serious if a change is wanted. People need to become aware of how important education is and the benefit that it has.
The significance of education cannot be stated enough, which is an investment to a better future. Getting an education is one of the most powerful things a person can ever obtain. It is crucial to the overall development of the individual and the society as a whole. When individuals do not have the option of getting an education due to the cost of the schools as well as the lack of schools itself. For those living in poverty it can be difficult to earn the same amount of education as other people who are considered middle or high class.
Many of which can be resolved. Not through an aggressive manner such as wars, but in peaceful ways as well. Education is only food for the mind, feeding the mind with more knowledge will only benefits the it. Gaining more knowledge allows the mind to develop and understand various things more deeply. Another prime example is illustrated as Malala says “Education had been a great gift for him [Ziauddin].
In the world today about 264 plus million children are being denied access to free education, according to Global Campaign for Education-civil society movement. Up to 80 percent of the world's out of school 5 to 18 year olds live in the sixty-five countries that a similar, more modern organization, Global Partnership for Education, is associated with. These are the children that are going to be leading and populating their own countries eventually so if have no education, how can they make logical decisions for the benefit of their country and the world? Education is globally recognized as a human right according to a number of international conventions. In all highly developed countries most people would claim education should be free for children worldwide yet a quarter of a billion children are denied education.
Even girls who do enroll in school may have irregular attendance due to other demands on them, and the fact that their education may not be prioritized. Girls are more likely to repeat years, to drop out early and to fail key subjects, and in most countries girls are less likely to complete the transition to secondary schooling. Inequality in society inevitably has an impact on the provision and content of education. Hence, the need to examine and address the
