Lack of Education
By: Jovy Milanes
Lack of Education
Low education and skill levels of the poor already hinder the Philippines'
economic growth capacity. Corruption means the status quo is maintained. As
the population continues to grow, and government spending on education
continually falls short, the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.
Lack of access to education and poor knowledge, are the main factors
influencing unemployment, particularly for those in the new settlements
around Bishkek who tend to be unskilled, on low incomes or unemployed.This
means that children suffer from lack of attention from their parents and they
are poorly-educated.
Education like in the philippines
• Education in the Philippines is offered through formal and non-formal
systems. Formal education typically spans 14 years and is structured in a
6+4+4 system: 6 years of primary school education, 4 years of secondary
school education, and 4 years of higher education, leading to a bachelor's
degree.
It is the fact that poverty is both cause and effect of lack of access to
education. Lack of education causes many issues such as: Poor health or
nutrition deficiency is seen among people due to illiteracy. Lack of education
causes gender inequality
• Why is lack of education important?
Education reduces poverty, boosts economic growth and increases income. It
increases a person's chances of having a healthy life, reduces maternal deaths,
and combats diseases such as HIV and AIDS. ... In sum, education is one of the
most important investments a country can make in its people and its future.
• the importance of education
Importance of Education. Proper and good education is very important for all
of us. It facilitates quality learning all through the life among people of any age
group, cast, creed, religion and region. It is the process of achieving
knowledge, values, skills, beliefs, and moral habits.
• the main purpose of education
The purpose of education to some teachers is to impart knowledge about the
subject matter they are teaching without much thought to other classes.
The 3 types of education
• Formal
• Informal
• Non-formal.
• education is the key to success?
Education is important because it gives a different perspective on life and
establishes a personal opinion after analyzing the situation. It helps society to
develop socially and economically. Also, latest technologies are developed and
used in different areas like health, economy, military and other business.
Poverty reduction
Higher income
Promotes equality
Health benefits
Economic growth
Discourages crime
Environmental benefits
Reduces gender-based violence
Reduces child marriage
Reduces maternal death rates
• Many of these benefits of education are interrelated in that they work
together to improve a person’s conditions in life. Unfortunately, despite the
numerous benefits of education, there are many places in the world where
access to education is very limited. Many children are deprived of education
due to a lack of funds and schools in their neighborhoods.The lack of access
to education contributes to greater problems such as poverty, inequality
and sometimes even crime and violence. Just building a school in a remote
area might help hundreds of children rise out of poverty.
•Thank you...
