 What is Education?

 Education is any performance or experience

that has an influential effect on the mind,
quality or physical ability of an individual. In
its technical sense, education is the process by
which people intentionally spread its collected
knowledge, skills and values from one
generation to another.
 Why is Education
Important?
 Education is very important for the
development of a country as it can increase the
standard of living, open new opportunities, and
produce skilled and rational-thinking people
who can help lead the country. Education is
the only thing that can’t be taken away from
you. It provides you all you need to know to
be what you want to be.
 How do we
Improve Education?

 Education can be improved by us. We must

help other countries to fund more schools. It
isn’t fair to the children who need to have an
education. Also, for us to help, we shouldn’t
take our education for granted because people
in other countries don’t have the schools we
have or the learning we get.
 How much money is
spent on education?
 449.1 billion U.S. dollars - However, that's surface money that goes
into "the education and social services" budget.

Of that money, only about 25% actually goes to education. The rest
goes to other forms of social services.

Realistically, we're looking at around 100 Billion each year put

towards schools, and bear in mind that most of that money covers
administration and buildings, the two biggest expenses of most
schools.

Also bear in mind that a typical textbook for a high school classroom
comes in just short of $100 each, and is outdated in two years.
 Education
Around the World
  In rising countries, the number and
significance of the problems faced are
naturally greater. People in more isolated
areas are sometimes unaware of the
importance of education. Although, many
countries have an active Ministry of
Education, and in many subjects, such as,
the amount of education is actually much
higher than in developed countries; for
example, it is not at all uncommon for
students in many developing countries to be
reasonably fluent in multiple foreign
languages.
 Education in
South Africa

 Education in South Africa has most of all the

schools, are high schools (Grade 8 to 12) and
the rest are primary schools (Grade 1 to 7).
School life spans 13 years - or grades - although
the first year of education, grade 0 or "reception
year", and the last three years, grade 10, 11 and
grade 12 are not required. Many Primary
schools offer grade 0, although this pre-school
year may also be completed at Nursery school.
 Education South in
Korea
 Education in South Korea is a centralized
administration that manages the process for the
education of children from kindergarten to the
third and final year of high school. The school
year is divided into two semesters. The first begins
in the beginning of March and ends in mid-July;
the second begins in late August and ends in mid-
February. They have summer vacation from mid-
July to late August, and winter vacation from late-
December to early February, and also take a short
vacation from mid-February to March 1.
 Education in the United
States of America
 Education in the United States is divided
into three levels: elementary school, middle
school (sometimes called junior high school),
and high school (sometimes referred to as
secondary education). In almost all schools at
these levels, children are divided by age
groups into grades, ranging from
kindergarten (followed by first grade) for the
youngest children in elementary school, up to
twelfth grade, the final year of high school.
Facts about
Education
 One in five adults in the developing world — almost
862 million people — cannot read or write.
 Most illiterate persons are female. In more than 20
developing nations, women's illiteracy rates exceed
70%.
 As much as 115 million children of primary school
age are not enrolled in school.
 More than 226 million children do not attend
secondary school.
 In most developing countries, public school is not
free. The costs of books, uniforms, and teachers’
salaries are borne by the students’ families.
 School fees and related costs are a common barrier to
education. These charges are a greater burden for
children from poor families, and disproportionately
affect those who are racial and ethnic minorities,
members of Indigenous communities and migrants.
 Many children who do enroll in school do not graduate with even
the most basic reading and math skills because their schools do
not have enough teachers, books or facilities to provide a quality
education.
 Across the world many children miss out on their education
because:
 They are made to work to help support their families,
 They are recruited into armed forces and become child
soldiers,
 Their families do not have the means to pay for schooling,
 Discrimination and racism undermine their chance to receive
an education,
 They face violence as they pursue their education. This is the
case for girls in areas where they are threatened with extreme
physical harm (e.g.. acid attacks) for the seemingly harmless
act of attending school.
 Girls are more likely to be excluded from school
than boys when there isn’t enough money to go
round. As many as two out of three out-of-
school children are girls.
 Social traditions and deep-rooted religious and
cultural beliefs are most often the barriers to
expanding girls' educational opportunities in
undeveloped countries around the world.
 Educated girls and women are less vulnerable to
HIV infection, human trafficking and other
forms of exploitation, are more likely to marry
later, raise fewer children who are more likely
to go to school, and make important
contributions to family income.
 Conclusion
 Education around the world is different in
every country. The ways people from Asia and
Africa is absolutely different from the way we
learn in the United States. The achievements
we need to succeed in school is diverse in all
countries. In Africa, the children don’t get the
funds we get for them to get educated because
of poverty.
