Lack of Children education

Project 1: Getting closer to your mega project problem.

Education is the most important thing for people’s lives, the future of countries, and the world order. Uneducated people have to live under the shadow of other people while illiterate countries will have to live under the influence of other countries. Today education remains to be an inaccessible right to millions of children across the globe. Statistics indicate that there are over 72 million children in primary school children not attending school, while there are over 759 million illiterate adults with the lack of knowledge to improve both their living conditions and that of their children.

Causes of lack of Education:

· Poverty

· Unemployment

· Illness

· Illiteracy of parents

· Poor physical facilities

Strategies:

Ø Increase investments in early-childhood education for poor children. Increased investment in early childhood education is particularly important given the limited investment our society currently makes in the cognitive development of very young children.

Ø Take advantage of the opportunity provided by No Child Left Behind (NCLB) to better utilize accountability reforms to improve outcomes for poor children.

Ø Continue to support and evaluate a variety of public school choice options. Although we believe that the current evidence on the benefits of public school choice is limited.

Ø We encourage states to facilitate the expansion of magnet and charter schools, and to carefully evaluate the impact of these schools on the students they serve as well as the surrounding schools.

Conclusion:

Given limited financial resources and perhaps even more limited political attention, it is unlikely that policymakers could adopt all of the “successful” practices discussed in this article. Based on our read of the empirical literature, we believe that the following should be the highest priorities for education policies to improve the academic achievement of poor children:

Most antipoverty policies focus on lifting adults out of poverty. These policies are often controversial because of an unavoidable tension between the desire to help people who have been unlucky and the motivation to encourage hard work and punish socially unproductive behavior.
