 Education is a poor man’s best weapon to succeed

Poor man's weapon

For a very poor man who cannot enjoy the luxury of life and who thirsts for something new, something different, the life that he doesn’t experience yet – education could be his best weapon to quench his hunger for a good life. Like many education experts say ‘education liberates man,’ anybody who has acquired a college diploma has big chances of changing his life.

Although good education does not guarantee a good life in the future but at least you have the edge to get to high paying jobs and opportunities if you are a holder of a college diploma. Why do I said this ? Because majority also of those who became millionaires do not even finish college - some are high school drop outs while others are only in primary education. But if you finish a four-year degree course at least you will not find it difficult to look for job opportunities. That is why many of the people around the world are employees because they all finish certain degree courses. In the corporate world, those who graduated college have big chances of getting hired because they are what big companies are looking for. Those who have no college diplomas are forced to get odd jobs like selling newspapers, buy and sell business and all forms of jobs that need skills. In this way, they can still work still utility workers, messengers or janitors and they get low pay.

Education for some is expensive yet very important. They knew they could not afford it and ended living miserable lives. But for those who have GUTS (genuine urge to succeed) even how expensive education is and how poor they are, they would still manage to hurdle the tuition fees just to have a child or two graduate from college and eventually help the other elder siblings follow too.

In third world countries, there is the so-called education problem. Many of the people are not educated, and because of this scenario, many too are starving and could not even eat three times a week. Because they are ignorant for lack of enough education, they tend to forget that for a poor man to succeed, education must be his good weapon to solve his dilemma for a better life as well as the whole family.

In industrialized countries, education is already on its highest level. Institutions for learning are becoming superficial and modernize because of new technologies. Online education is even a common sight in many universities as compared to third world countries. Even the illiterate adults in progressive countries are given chances of going back to school because of online education. They are no longer afraid that because they are old enough, there is no more time to acquire a college diploma.

To summarize it all, there is no rich nor poor in acquiring education. It will depend on how determined you are in achieving your goals in life. There are those rich but they did not finish their education, and there are those poor individuals, who capitalize their being poor to obtain the education they dream of having.

 Education liberates man

Education Liberates man

Education is one good step for a man to prepare his life in the future. Without education a man could be ignorant on the developments of the world. He could be lacking on knowledge on every aspects of life, the things we see in the world we live in and everything there is in this world.

In this computer age, this simply means that a man’s education is now far behind as compared to people in the far-flung places who doesn’t face the modern world because they prefer to live on their old traditions.

Education online is very important in everyman’s life. Without it, a man’s life could be so hopeless he cannot enjoy life. For example, in developed countries where education was given utmost priorities, a family enjoys the luxury of being professional. An educated man who finishes his degree can easily land a job as compared to those who did not finish their educational courses. This simply means, by looking at the applications alone of job applicants, employers could easily select who is more capable of handling the job descriptions or not.

If we will also compare education in third world countries, this is also the main reason why a certain country cannot progress in many ways, because many of the people have no enough education and they are not qualified for work. In third world countries, many people are not qualified for jobs available as compared to people in developed countries.

People who are educated and especially those who took masteral degrees have the edge in all aspects of life. Like for instance in getting a certain job, those who have more education are more qualified than those who plainly graduate a single degree course.
Employers would prefer those who have beautiful credentials and backgrounds rather than those fresh graduates of only a single career course.

Education is also a great stepping stone to success. Why would I say this? It is because those who have completed their career diplomas usually have big advantage than those who did not finish college.

Survey shows there are many people who graduate in industrialized countries are now enjoying their professional life. They easily land a job while those who did not or have not even gone to college are those who suffer the most, economically speaking.

Education for most parents who only have average income is the only legacy they think, they could left their children when they dies. Thus, with this principle, parents would always advice their children to prioritize their education while at younger age, so that their children could prepare for their future.

Education in suburbs is also much higher as compared to the rural folks. Modern technology and the use of gadgets make education more interesting. People in rural areas have less knowledge than to students in the cities. The new technology brought about by science is one big example that students in suburbs are more knowledgeable as compared to students in the rural areas.

So, one friendly advice folks, if you want to attaint progress and have your dreams realized, you should have a good and rewarding education at hand while still young. In this way, you will surely enjoy life to the fullest. Indeed, education liberates man from the bondage of ignorance!

 Education Challenges

Education Challenges

It is known that education is the foundation, which is building the individual and the basis of the progress and advancement of nations, and the basis for the process of sustainable human development, which is known as (Sustainable Human Development) by the UNDP for the United Nations.

Education is a right guaranteed by the Constitution to all citizens is equal, and we believe that the developed countries took education significantly and made it the basis for the progress and uplift, and the other side still third world countries and the developing world suffers from many problems and challenges its educational system.

One of the most important problems such heavy reliance on foreign labor, and the lack of sufficient experience and expertise to teachers in how to deal with students, and not to rely or use technical means and technology in the delivery of information to students, and an inability to keep the curriculum and decisions for the improvement of life, The huge number of students per classroom, which leads to difficulty in communicating information to students, change the educational strategy several times over a few years, relying on old traditional methods of education, the spread of corruption, bribes and tuition.

Therefore, the State should seek to eliminate these problems and difficulties to provide better education for their children through many means and methods including:

1- Examine any strategy or decision before the application so that there will be no negative consequences of these decisions and projects and try to bracket first and then consider the results.
2- Renewal and curriculum development in order to cope with new developments.
3- Reliance on modern methods and techniques and advanced to explain the curriculum.
4- Quest to eradicate illiteracy in all its forms and by all means we have.
5- Develop a proper person in the right place and competency-based recruitment and capacity and not on the basis of medium.
6- Quest for repairing the infrastructure (buildings) to schools and related facilities.
7- Education for all and equal and all methods available.
8- Use people of field experience such as General educated.

Education challenges in Arab world.

The effectiveness of Education active socially and economically significant, the number of students in the Arab nation of 16.6 million students in 1980 to 42.9 million in 1987, representing 13.5% respectively of the population of the Arab world, The teaching professor of these 553 thousand in 1970 and $ 928 thousand and professor in 1987, has reached the number of students to 59.24 million and the number of teachers to three million in 1997, meaning that the proportion of professors and students together with the population had reached 24.66% in 1997 versus 17.6% in 1975, and, according to UNESCO in 1999.

The rapid growth of the population, hence youth therefore, their serious strain on education services contemporary Western specifications of the school, which makes the race difficult or even impossible in many countries, between limited resources and increasing demand whether demand-driven social seats teaching or demand economic efficiencies and alumni.

The results of this race-in addition to the difficult policy choices in each country-appear through a number of problems varies presence and severity in different countries and times including:

Continued high illiteracy for the lack of treatment and prevention efforts of the new ones resulting from:

1- Failure rates of schooling in order to meet the compulsory education scheme.
2- Deteriorating quality of education and efficiency of the internal pressure due to the quantity and priority.

Weak external efficiency of the system and relate to the needs of the labor market and guide the system to meet the needs of partial modern sector of the national economy needs is limited, This resulted in negative consequences for the economy and society and on the west and school curricula from their local copy foreign models are themselves the subject of criticism in the countries in which it arose, and reflected the lack of efficiency in this:

1- Educated shortages in some specialties.
2- Flow educated in some specialties (leading to unemployment educated frank and convincing, and the deterioration of wages, the brain drain).
3- Lack of appropriate quality.
4- Up twice Technological and scientific progress in school (current and future) and the absence of jobs or inadequate research.
5- Growth unbalanced and unequal opportunities in the education, and only the school system, the neglect of other forms of education and training. , As well as exclusive, in the school, on public education and neglect of vocational and technical education diversified.

On qualitative there many manifestations of the crisis, including: low-quality and distortion in the current values associated with work and the resulting negative effects on the development and proper utilization of resources.

The imbalance in the distribution between the ages (stages: kindergarten, adult education), and within stages (lack of interest in science and technology have), and between the sexes, and between urban and rural areas, between inside and outside (higher education in particular).

In the end, no question poses itself strongly, is: Will the situation as it is now in the Arab world, or speaking leap educational Arab as happened with all countries of the developed world?

Personally, I prefer the second solution!

About

Education is any process, formal or informal, by which an individual is encouraged to fully develop his potential. It also provides an individual with the necessary knowledge, skills and character to be a productive member of society. The term 'education' is often used to mean formal education. Formal education is a conscious effort by human society to pass on skills and information considered vital for socialisation. Learning that takes place in schools or school-like environment is a form of formal education. In developing cultures, there is often little formal education. Children learn from their environment and the adults around them serve as teachers. In more developed societies, an efficient means of transmission of values and accumulated knowledge - the school and teacher - becomes necessary. Informal education, on the other hand, results from the constant effect of environment and its power to shape values and habits. Individuals acquire informal education from the world-at-large - families, peers, books, media and others. In a broad sense, the term 'education' covers formal learning, value-building and day-to-day experiences. Simply put, all that an individual experiences is a form of education.
