Take Action for the Future Education
In my previous post, I tried to let readers think more about the importance of education and the reasons behind the lack of education in some children’s childhood. The next topic I would like to address will help us better comprehend ways to provide chances of qualified education to more people in different places from the perspective of government, families, and companies. Then, I would like to talk about some outcomes we would have after completing these strategies.
Why should the government make relative policies to help students get qualified education?
On the subject of education, the government can provide the main impetus for change. From the data of expected years of schooling in 2017, we can see that some children in developing countries, such as Sudan in Africa, only can expect to receive education for four to eight years. Besides, the net attendance rate of primary school in 2015 shows that, in some countries, the percentage of students who can attend schools in the theoretical age group for primary education is only between forty percent to sixty percent.
These phenomena all show that education is unequally distributed across different countries. It is the government’s responsibility to analyze and rethink the situation of education in order to explore some strategies to improve educational quality, achieve educational goals, and find out some factors that influence it. So, the government should be the one who is responsible for providing qualified education to children.
How can families change their minds and attach more importance to education?
Although there is a difference between male and female employees who have the same qualifications, there is a huge gap in children’s academic qualifications among families. In some rural areas, parents do not pay attention to their children’s education because they lack a long-term vision. If we can find ways to encourage these parents to attach importance to education and be willing to send their children to schools instead of pushing them to work and make money at a very young age, it would be a lot easier to guarantee qualified education to children in poor areas.
Companies’ compensatory methods for absent quality education
Even though the government and family are the main impetus for promoting educational equity, it is almost impossible to guarantee that every single child can have access to qualified education at the right age. There are other ways to make education more equitable. The companies can help achieve this goal by designing some programs to provide their employees with continuous educational opportunities. Employers need to have a good nose for picking out employees who would like a chance for further education, especially those who are talented but did not have access to taking relevant courses during childhood. They are the ones who can offer them opportunities to receive further education in their spare time. It can be a compensatory method for absent quality education in some people’s childhood.
