Importance of Education
Education and poverty are inversely related. The higher the level of education of the population, the smaller the number of poor people, because education imparts knowledge and skills that contribute to higher wages. The direct effect of education in reducing poverty is through an increase in income / income or wages. The indirect effect of education on poverty is important in relation to “human A Course In Miracles“, because as education improves income, basic needs become easier to satisfy and living standards rise, which without it certainly means a decrease in human poverty. In the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), human capital is seen as a weapon against poverty reduction. That is why the idea that education is a determinant of poverty has received a lot of attention in recent years.
People’s education and health are the necessary and important components of human capital that make them productive and raise their standard of living. Human capital is necessary for the effective use of physical and natural capital, technology, and skills.
Education Can Help Eradicate Poverty
Poverty is an obstacle on the road to economic development. The achievement of education, one of the main goals of development economics, is also a driving force behind such development. The backbone of many aid and development programs depends on investment in education (Todaro, 2011). The concept of equal opportunities drives much of this investment. Education gives the individual the knowledge necessary to overcome such inequalities. Obtaining an education increases an individual’s productivity and contribution to the workforce. Investments in education increase the skills and productivity of poor households. Both the income level and the general standard of living (human development) increase. Second, poverty is also a major barrier to educational achievement. Poverty affects educational performance in three dimensions. Furthermore, some unhelpful social norms and so-called religious doctrines ardently restrict girls’ education. Therefore, lack of education is a cause of a person’s low earning capacity and poverty persists even in the next generations of that household. Even the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) recommended by the World Bank focus primarily on girls’ and primary education.
