Global Education
The lack of education around the world is insane. Across the globe 70 million people don’t go to school, reports the Guardian. There are so many people who want education but cannot get it, either because they can’t afford it or they don’t have access to it. The crazier part is there are people that get education from the taxes and they decide to throw it away. Any of the people could be extremely smart and have the potential to find a cure to diseases. I hope in the future of the world that we can all get an education.
I’m from Nepal, and I know that people in remote villages do not get an education. The “literacy rate for the total population is 45.2%” (NationMaster). That’s not even half. I’m very passionate about this, and I want make the world better. I think this is one of the things that we need to change in the world. Everyone in this world deserves an education, whether they want it or not. Things like this impact the whole world, I want to change the world whether big or small.
I could get the information out into the world. I could talk to others and help them understand why this is so important to the world and me. I want to have people, behind me and hopefully they can all be as happy as I am when I am helping others. Getting the word out won’t be too hard I think; just tell people and they tell others and the whole world knows about it. Flyers and posters could definitely help. We could launch fundraisers and give speeches. Fundraisers raise a lot of money if people have heard about and care about the cause. On the website gogetfunding there are many fundraisers for education around the globe.
It would help others get more and more informed about people that don’t get an education everyday. People could always help and go teach in the places that need to be taught. “33 million primary school-aged children in Sub-Saharan Africa do not go to school” As, said by Achieve In Africa. I want to have others that are willing to go and teach and I want to hopefully be able to go and teach them as well .
Lack of education is a big cause all around the world. I think we need to start telling younger kids about it so they don’t take the education they have for granted. There are people who regret everyday of their life not taking school seriously, and I don’t want anyone having to go through that. We should all step up, help others and make the world a better place.
