Developing Countries Education

What is Education?
Education is the
process of acquiring knowledge from teachers through their teaching. It is the
learning that one gets in schools. It mainly involves activities like imparting
knowledge by the teachers in classrooms, presentation of study materials by
faculty members, practical training in workshop by the instructor with the aim
to train the student in any particular subject matter and to give them
practical exposure on the practical aspects of real time situations, imparting
him with the necessary technical skills required to face the practical
situations.
What is the need
for Education?
Education is basic
fundamental and an important ingredient required for development of any
society. Education of a person improves his social status, his mental status,
his knowledge, and his abilities to develop his skills to face practical lie
situations. Education is the only weapon with which one can kill ignorance and
fight with unawareness. An educated person can perceive things in a better way
because he ahs a broad mind with which he can see the things differently. He
has a broadened mind with which he is able to understand all the faces of any
problem and then he will be able to handle the situation in a better way.
Status of education
is high in developed countries but if we talk about developing countries the
scene is just opposite. The literacy rate in developing countries like India is
very low. Though continuous efforts are being made by the government to achieve
the higher literacy rate but still the target is far to achieve and it will
take years to achieve the targets that are being set by the UNESCO and the
government of these countries.
But why is this so?
Why the literacy rate is not up to desired mark despite of continuous efforts? What
are the major barriers which prevent spread of education? The reasons can be
best described as:
Lack of Education
and Infrastructure facilities which prevent the literacy rate from being reaching
up to desired mark, poverty in a major segment of population which prevents the
parents from sending their children to schools, Gender inequality that means
female are not given the same preference as the male which should not be and
the traditional caste practices which also plays a major role in preventing the
education to reach the light of education to reach all the doors.
If people from
developing countries are able to overcome these barriers the education level
will definitely rise in these developing countries.
