EDUCATION

Education has always been bridging the minds to sanity and to avoid all the senseless activities that will encourage the humans to adopt beast like behavior. Education is the part of life that distinguishes humanity from immoral and beast like manner. The trajectory to attaining inclusive and equitable education for all started from 1990 World Conference on education for ALL in Jomtien, Thailand to the World Education Forum in Dakar that kick started the education for all movement. Unfortunately, education is no more a priority for the countries who want to take unfair advantage of their people hence they altogether don’t let them develop to think more clearly and thoroughly. The likes of Japan and South Korea have the top most education system to groom the breed of talented children, so when they are juvenile they are able to perform and outsource the previous generations to bring about new innovation. This is not the only reason, for a decent job or running a business, education plays the pivotal role. It is clearly visible that education can be the one man show to operate in the professional world. In the third world countries more than 20% of the children are out of school and others are a victim of inefficient methods leading to below par learning. Countries claim to spend a lot on education budget yet the country itself is unable to show the required, pledged, UN approved RESULTS. This dismay in the sector is not only a threat to the youngsters but future is certainly incumbent upon them. The quote “If you intend to destroy a nation, target its education and it will self-destruct”. This is not just a metaphorical phrase but a honest and realistic truth that is pretty hard to digest because the reality is rather painful. This will inevitably lead to a bleak future and waiting shall have no mercy.

Solution:

An individual’s brain must be able to fathom the pros and cons of education to realize that the future is all about the education earned. The other most important thing is to not let illiteracy materialize or face pessimist reactions. The Political and bureaucratic leaders must take strong approach to eradicate illiteracy for a better future, they can first harness the available potential to start the cycle which will soon be accomplishing all the targets on its own. The private institutions must be supportive of scholarships for the poor to bring about the talented and hardworking candidates in the first phase. The education standards must be revised through policies created by the technocrats and syllabus must be updated with necessary additions, year on year basis. There is technology enabled learning which when combined with governance innovations can seamlessly provide education in the remote and poor areas. These equations would attract donors, industry and foundations in support of the education drive. These initiatives would draw the best out of the poorest of countries.
