Qualified Education: The Gateway to Success for Children
The future sustainability goal that I would like to research in my publication is about quality education. I am going to focus on ways to provide more people with qualified education. Having the chance to be educated is every child’s birthright. However, there are still lots of children who do have no access to qualified education. These children would become just ordinary people when they grow up even though they are talented in some areas. Unfortunately, there is still a dearth of talent in some areas. If we can figure out some ways that can provide more people with qualified education and make related policies based on them, we probably would find a flourishment in people qualified and want to work in those areas.
“Why am I interested in this topic?”
I am interested in this topic since I know some people who are talented in programming but did not have a chance to learn it when they were children. Before becoming programmers in their thirties, they taught themselves coding and programming after working as waiters and couriers for several years. These gifted people missed their chance of getting higher degrees in universities just because they did not have access to qualified education when in their childhood. Their stories remind me of children in my grandmother’s hometown. It is a small village in a remote area. Some people live there from generation to generation because of their poverty. That small village is lacking standard elementary schools, and children have no access to qualified educations. After graduating from elementary schools, many students are not adequately prepared for higher education. Besides, while I was searching for job advertisements online, I noticed that some positions that do not require advanced degrees, like cleaners in hotels and waiters in restaurants, have much more candidates than positions that require a Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree, such as engineers and doctors. One of the leading factors is that there are millions of people who are born in an environment in which parents cannot send their children to school and educate them. For these people who are born in poor places or small villages, education is their only ticket to success.
“Who would benefit from these findings?”
The benefits of it are currently focused on children who are born in poor areas, but providing more children with qualified education can help our society get more qualified people for these positions and create wealth for the world. I hope there is no lack of talented people in our community in the future. So, I think not only these poor children can benefit from these findings, but the whole society will definitely be paid off.
Things need to be taken into consideration during research
Some things that I already know about this topic is that in some poor areas, parents attach less importance to education. This phenomenon tells us if we want to solve this problem, we need to help these parents realize the importance of education and provide children chances to be educated at the same time. It is important to find ways to provide qualified education to children in poor areas and make their parents willing to send them to schools instead of pushing them to work and make money at a very young age. Besides, we also need to have some tests to figure out whether our methods work in these areas to adjust strategies and make them better.
Important questions about this research
I would like to answer several questions through my research:
What are some ways to provide children with qualified education?
How can we persuade parents to attach more importance to education?
How to test whether these methods work?
