LACK OF EDUCATION 2
In the world today, in a group of six people, at least three or four of them are not properly
educated. Lack of education remains a biting problem considering the daily increasing need of
educated people across different sectors. This is a major problem because the current lifestyles
demands educated people to handle things like technology, advanced science, agriculture, and all
other modern ways of doing things. The fact that the world has gone digital means that the
members of the public must also be digital and this is only possible when education is involved.
For long, inaccessibility of learning institutions, high cost of education, substandard education
material, and inequality in the education sector have been behind why many people never got a
chance to get educated. The most affected people are the marginalized in terms of poverty,
inaccessible geographical areas, and underdeveloped countries. The world requires granting the
lack of education ample attention and embrace; education equality, building enough schools
across the board, offer free education and raise the standard of education as a way of promoting
economic growth, improving lifestyles.

compels citizens to engage in crime and many are subjected to health hazards as they do
not even understand them. The author uses statistics to show the high number of people
in different prisons after getting involved in crime as the only means of generating
income. Statistics are also derived from people ion slums and poor living conditions with

education and real challenges members of society are facing like poverty that compels
people to engage in crime, poverty that pushes people to stress and some developing
mental conditions while others get physically beaten affecting their emotional and
physical health. It also shows how poverty compels people to comprise their economy.

problem through the numerous societal effects.
