According to a 1999 State of the World Children’s Report released by UNICEF almost an estimate billion people around the world are not able to read in 21st century or write their name.
This isn’t hard to believe, in fact I actually thought this number would be higher, considering that about 80 percent of the world’s population is living in poverty.
And although several organizations around the world are trying to do something about this, why aren’t the local governments doing more?
The future of their country depends on it’s people’s education. If people can’t read or write, they can’t vote…that is a thought maybe that is why corrupt politicians aren’t doing anything about it. They like to be able to manipulate the people living in rural areas.
after all that is why they go for the support of the poor almost 80% of the time when they are trying to pass a legislation.
Someone needs to put an end to this.
Education is crucial to a countries prosperity, it should be a top proirty for politicans along with healthcare. It shouldn’t be pushed to the side. I find that the most prosperous and independent countries are those that have a good education system(not one that is perfect, in fact with several flaws) but are countries where public education is accesible to all.
