Writing Assignment help on : Education

Education is important in all phases of life and also in all the spheres. It is something that adds a new perspective to the thoughts of the people and let them observe the activities which are happening around them from different angles. When it comes to the standards of the people living across the globe, education or the literacy rate in the national boundaries tell about the standard of the country and that how it fares. Education is a prerequisite for employment, only a person who is well-learned and the one who is able to communicate intelligently with masses is known as somebody who is educated. This type of communication is categorised as healthy, effective and logical, and therefore it becomes the key to development. Gradually it is seen that from individual level this communication grows to the community level and this process goes on to make it collectively a joint effort in encouraging education and the impact which it would create on the whole nation (Ali & Reed 1994). Education is seen as the key to everything be it financial development of the country or the recognition at the social level. There is a very thin line or one can say that there is seen blurred boundary between the developed and the developing countries, the situation is critically different between the two. It cannot be said that everything positive which is there in a developed country is completely absent in a developing country. In fact it could be brought that everything which is present in a developing country is not totally positive, i.e. somewhere it does loses the track of being positive and something negative evolves out of the positivity (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis  2008).

There is seen a huge gap in the domain of educational system of both developed and the developing countries and it is most easy to make out form the quality of the education in both the spheres. The people who hold the capability of thinking critically, the ones who can read and write, the ones who know the basics of the empirical studies it is observed that there are usually better opportunities for them as they easily get many platforms to show their talent, and consequently can earn money because they have something productive to do. In case of the people who are not educated somewhere live in a much indirect atmosphere where there are very small options for them to survive and thus they cannot look forward to many opportunities which can make them excel in their lives (Watkins, K., 2000). It is found that more than 50 million children in the developing countries even do not find the platform to study, that is the basic admissions to the primary schools even is denied. The developing countries are the ones where there are lesser opportunities because these countries have had seen much bad phase in its history; either there have been coloniser’s attempts to dislocate these country-men from their roots or there had been many wars which almost had cleared off the roots from the nation. The countries which are not developed as yet are the ones that are backward in all aspects like the health, employment, lifestyle, technology and its use. One factor which is behind all these problematic is education (UNDP 2003). Therefore, in the near future to see the people of this country to improve upon the basic standards in which they are presently living, it is important to realise that education is very important and is the key to everything.

With respect to the primary schooling it is found that the budget which the government takes out for the primary schools is inadequate to meet the requirements. The inadequate fund is an obstruction to achieve the higher attendance in the school. According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the developing countries are spending much less of their national income on the department of education it is not even 10% and is only slightly above than 4% of the national income which they have been spending on education. In case of the developed country like the US is the same aspect is compared it is found that they invest from more than 5% to 8% of their national income on education (Epstein, M & Yuthas, K 2012).

It is seen that the basic founding elements in education are not in balance with each other, i.e. neither the students nor the teachers. It is observed that even if the education is imparted to the students it is not effective, because as a part of the tradition the teachers are also not well-prepared to teach and possess poor skills. Thus, lacking the skills in themselves i.e. not being prepared then it remains a question that how they can turn of help to the students (World Bank 2001). Thus, even the learning which they impart to the students is completely distorted and out of the context. This is in fact something more disappointing for the system because it not only gives the little knowledge to the school students but the distorted or even false knowledge. These countries therefore pose a lack of esteem and confidence in them, therefore somewhere are not able to make their own policies and the constitution with respect to economics and the education. Education is a great source of skills and the skills are necessary in order to proper in life and to move away to a healthy lifestyle. Education is the key necessity for the developing countries so that they can move from the tag of remaining underdeveloped (Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development 2012). It is seen that the youngsters who have at least have been exposed to the primary standards of learning are less likely to get infected by HIV, as compared to the opposed lot who never went to school. This has specially been helpful for the girl students because if they are educated they have been observed turn into healthier mothers in life. The poorer countries ate the developed countries and it is observed that they have been earning higher wages as a corollary of the increase in number of students who go in for education. These calculations somewhere do contribute to the growth of the economy and it has also been estimated that literacy is the key to every economic growth because it was impossible to grow economically if the literacy rate didn’t reach at least 40%.

One among the developing countries in India, the absence of teachers from the schools is one of the biggest problems which this country has in the domain of education. According to a contemporary article as submitted to the journal of the European Economic Association, it has been statistically proven that on in every four teachers is absent in the primary schools as are run by the government. There are such eight countries which have an account of the absent teachers in their primary schools among which India fares a second highest position in this category. Also, it has been found that in the rural states of India, where the income status is low, the schools also are seen to suffer from the lesser number of teachers in the school. The reason behind the same is simply the disinterest of the teachers to provide education to these children. Moreover they are timely paid for their services whether they attend to the same or not, therefore the jobs of the teachers is ironical because in a way they are paid for what they do not do at all. The main thing is that the teachers do not even have that fear of being fired if they do not take their job seriously (Rogers  2004). The research says that if the teachers have at least this much fear then there can be experienced the discipline in the behaviour of the teacher.  Also, there is much politics within the whole system of teaching where the teachers with higher concentration are absent frequently than the ones who have lesser amount of experience to the ones who are younger. Working conditions in a school also determine the attendance of the teacher, if the basic hygiene is absent in a school then it can be observed that the teachers would remain absent from the school frequently, another responsibility of the same comes at the side of the infrastructure, if there is proper arrangement of all the necessary furniture and the suitable architecture the it also determines the school attendance rate of the teachers. The developing countries are lagging behind than many because there are found many small and poor districts that have even smaller school networks.  These schools are usually located at the outskirts of the village because of which the children have to travel a lot to the long distances, these regions are much isolated and are aloof. The infrastructure of the rooms is usually all old and torn, the conditions of the schools is such that lacks electricity or the water. The school climate is further worsened with each day because the teachers who are working in such schools are burdened with number of duties and even they are not paid enough for the responsibilities they are made to take up.

The location of the school also determine the presence of the teachers in the school, it is known that if the school is near then it acts as a motivational factor for the teacher, if the school falls at a distance then it is seen that they avoid attending the schools ate the regular basis. In India, the primary schools in Delhi also are much poor in the provision which they can give to the students belonging to the educational domain, a clear reflection can be put on the conditions of the primary schools. The government schools in Delhi are over-crowded and because of this no single student in the classroom can get a fair chance to get what is being taught in an overcrowded classroom that ahs much noise. There is also seen that there is a complete mismatch of what is demanded by the schools and what the government is actually supplying them. The furniture is also unhygienic and therefore it makes the students to fall sick frequently and it further stops the parents to send the children to school. Therefore, it can be brought out that the condition of the schooling in this particular underdeveloped country is quite poor, and the department of education is being affected adversely (Unesco 2012).

The disparities between the genders have to be checked, and the urgent attention should be paid to the education of the girls. There are certain obsolete beliefs which the families possess related to education of girls and they need to be revised at the earliest. It is seen that developing countries have certain restricted thought processes where they do not believe in giving any importance and respect to all the genders. In the developing countries it is found that the tough process and the ideologies are much guided by the man-made archetypes and the myths, like in the Asian countries there have been myths and prejudice among the binaries of gender and this has been stopping many from sending their female children to schools. The gaps between the genders always makes a boy to go to school and let the girl to remain isolated to the household duties like cooking, cleaning, managing house, weaving, washing or tailoring (Aggarwal, Y 2000). . There are seen gender disparities in the region like sub-Saharan Africa, India and middle –east. This way the society has always been avoiding the females and has been keeping them away from engaging in the competitive domain and making them introverts and reserved in all aspects.

It would be significant to highlight the important aspects of education, as it states that how the people and especially the children suffer if the education is not provided to them. The main effect which the lack of the education is causing to the society is that of child mortality. The target age group is either the infants who die or the toddlers that is under five years of the age. According to the reports a published by UNESCO, it is seen that every year some 10 million children die, before they even reach a minor age of five years. The cases are much frequently seen in the countries which have not been developed completely. Though the government finds that now the survival has been much improved than before but the curse of the premature deaths is something which is not desirable at all. On the other hand if the education is provided to the children while they are growing up and they turn into adults especially if it is a woman who would be provided with higher or at least secondary education then the cases of the child mortality almost are halved in their frequency.

 The history of the developing countries have been full of atrocities like war, colonisation, political turmoil, such sad has always instilled fear among the masses belonging to these countries and therefore there has always been a passivity when it comes to change (Chaudhury, N et al. 2008). Even when the education is introduced the people in these countries who live under constant fear, repel education in one way or the other as they feel scared that is the tool or might be the design of the colonisers to now attack their specific cultures, ideologies or the personal space which they have created so far. Therefore, it is believed that somewhere the responsibility lies at the hand of the educators and the people who take the responsibility of providing the education to the world to let the people of the developing countries believe that education is in fact empowering and contains no expansionist designs. Though it is has been accepted to a certain level and the world has started moving along with the benefits of the education but still there remains many archetypal thoughts related to education which act as the blockades in the human society (Unesco 2012).

The foremost problem with education is that most of the developing countries feel that the education is a taboo for the females in the society. This disparity which the traditions and the obsolete beliefs have created is in fact responsible for the backwardness which prevails in the developing countries. They find that education is not meant for all and that somewhere it has been made for the male member who has been born and structured that way; the male they consider as the one who can be the only bread winner in the family (Psacharopoulos, G 1994). The developing countries have to realise that education only means the enhanced intellectuality and realisation of the capability to make the right choices when needed. In order to throw light upon the status of the education in the African countries one can see the challenges in education which the countries have been facing. Again it is found that the early years of learning framework of education have been found are missing from the development of the child. It is found that the children do not attend school more than primary level, and therefore they leave the education in between, it is found that around 85 percent of the school aged children attend the schools at the secondary level and the choice to go for the higher education (tertiary level) is much low that is not more than 20 percent. In South Africa, according to the reports of the Human Sciences Research Council, around 12 million children belong the families who are below poverty line, around 4 million of the children are starving to death and almost 40 percent of the children out of these poor children face the growth problems because of the inadequate health and the lack of awareness about getting better in health.  Many of the children in Africa feel lack of identity as they live under casual settlements and thus feel like dislocated. Therefore, the major reason behind all these statistics is that the developing countries face the lack of the economic resources both at the government and the private level and therefore the conditions of the people is poor and thus they feel discouraged to take on anything productive because it is out of the budget which the conditions demand. More than half the child population of Africa is living in the families which are not employed (Hanushek, E & Zhang, L 2006).

Another major problem which the countries is now facing is that because of the stereotypes and the traumatic history which Africa has ever had in past, nobody has been treating the land as the land that could be sophisticated. The stereotype to which this place has driven itself is that it is a land of plundering, of gamblers, the robbers and cannibals.  The blacks have always been put to the derogatory perception of them as ‘negroes’, ‘hippies’ or the ‘niggers’, from a white man’s perspectives and the land of the barbarians. The adjectives which were once constructed by the white coloniser once have been as it is employed by many other countries in future, and so Africa has always been looked down at.  It was tough for many people to understand that they need to change their vantage point from which they are looking at this country and therefore they have to see that nothing can be exist in a unilateral perspective and that there is always a larger perspective. The same has been provoked world-wide through the medium of literature. Thus, being a part of the educational domain only, literature as a discipline could serve the right purpose in the society (Baurer, A et al 2002). The awareness and the truth that could be brought and the different angles by various writers and the authors could be brought when people started educating themselves. Therefore, education in this way has also been seen as something which always improved the thought process and has helped to break the stereotypes. The country also had bigger issues like the health problems and the fatal HIV, health is something which has to be the only assuring factor when it comes to balance in life, but HIV Aids in Africa had been widespread and therefore rendered many people to die or lose the balanced health, this way every job in which they were engaged or disturbed and thus distracted everything else, from hers to children and everything around. As a part of education, sex education also something which has to be imparted to the masses and this would only be possible when the children are made to attend the school. It has to be realised that the children while they grow up have to have enough sex education so that they can make the choice between the right and the wrong and it is something which is important for both the genders that is men and the women, because AIDS is something which pass on from one to the other and a valid stop would have to be put before it becomes ubiquitous than ever. So, education in developing countries plays a much important role especially in the contemporary times when the human society hold much better a scope to improve (World Bank 2004).

The education on the other hand in the countries which are developed is completely different, a major advantage which such countries is that they have a clear history, less trauma, more modern views and they are extremely rich in resources. The examples of the developed countries is that of the UK and the USA, the countries have realised the importance of encouraging the children and have always focussed upon the use of the sustainable education has been made by UK, which has also been prescribed by UNESCO. The meaning of this type of this education is that the education should have a humanly approach that is common for all the human beings, that they have the basic right to gain education, skills, the attitude and form values on the basis of the knowledge (The Probe Team, 1999). Whereas in the developing countries the thought process is narrow as compared to this and it is seen that the education is decided for only some members of the society and is much basic. The education in the developed nations alike the UK are more focused upon the outcomes of nurturing the education in the future. The sustainable education is only one example of the quality education and the modern step which any nation could take because they have been able to think out of the picture and the theory which the books can provide and hence are more practical in the clichés which it has. For, example, working towards the global causes likes climate change, the disaster management, poverty reduction etc. other than that the government has also worked hard to provide the healthy atmosphere in the schools and also the infrastructure or the sitting conditions. The textbooks are much in standard and make the education easy to be accessed by the students and the teachers.

In the developing countries also, the government can do wonders for the growth of the human society, and also has been fixed certain policies which would be highly helpful for the people who need to be educated especially for the population of the developing countries. The government can make the special policies like the provision of the universal education at the primary level, which would mean no bias with respect to gender, the government should provide the proper plans and the mediums should also be sufficiently provided by the government for the children. Therefore the governing body can make the effort to support the education for the girl child. Also, the government should pose equal survival and the access to education for all, and should work specifically for the disadvantaged groups in the society. The government can make the flow of the education even better by increasing the supply of the textbooks for the students and by making the role of the teachers even more strong so that they can support and train the students better (Tooley, J & Dixon, P 2007).

Quality is the most important aspect of education, that whatever is being imparted to the innocent and the naïve minds serious and valid in all its sense. The quality can be primarily improved of the government takes care that the learning environment is warm and cordial, the facilities are adequate, the teachers which are provided are well-qualified and well read. The curriculum which has been design adheres to the basic syllabus and poses positive outcome for the system of the school. Further to ensure quality education it has to be realised that the policies which were already existing and also the regulation which were valid on the functioning of the schools, still hold validity in the present and is open to amendments if required. It should be the responsibility of the government to realise that the children at the school level or at any level when learning are in touch with the national or the international standards of learning. The education in the developing countries should be able to overcome any equality that is between the wealth status, ethnicity or the background which a learner might have. Inter-government coordination is also necessary so that all the government departments can come up and for a union with the civilians be it the advantaged/ reserved/ disadvantaged groups. The government should put a check on the status of the average and the poor families and should, provide them with the help that they might need (Glewwe, P 2002). The financing strategies shall also be revised by the government so that they can be able to reach the ones who are most disadvantaged or marginalised. The recruitment of the well-qualified teachers in the secluded or the remote areas, these teachers should be well-trained and motivated enough to at least start working for the children selflessly, at least for some time.
