Introduction

Education is the process of acquiring values, skills, knowledge, and learning to achieve habits, believes, and values that are effective in handling multiple social, economic, and political challenges (Arnold & Coyne, 2020). There are various methods to acquire education which may include directed researches, discussion, storytelling, training, and modern teaching through emerging technologies such as through online classes. However, since education is not considered right many children are unable to acquire the right education as required. Lack of education contributes negatively towards eradicating ignorance, poverty, general crimes, and children trafficking. Education is paramount in the modern world since it enables people to apply knowledge from the classroom to produce goods and services for human consumption. Comment by TutorMe Tutor: considered a right (what you have now implies the education is not considered correct; my correction clarifies that it not considered required for human growth)

Therefore, people who lack education are rarely to be employed in large companies and manufacturing industries since they require employees knowledgeable to produce goods and services for human consumptions. No society can be able to sustain itself since there is no country, society, or community that can be able to produce all that they need (Shahid, Nelson & Cardemil, 2018). Therefore, education is important in ensuring that there is a quality production of goods and services across the globe. Many people who lack education are more likely to engage in general crimes such as robbery, theft, and child trafficking to acquire money for their basic needs. Additionally, children who lack education are easily tricked, abducted, and exploited by criminals. The third world countries are mainly affected since they lack resources to support education. Comment by TutorMe Tutor: This does not make sense to begin a paragraph with this word. it feels like the paragraph is beginning in the middle of a thought. Delete this word

There are some communities that students lack to attend classes at all. Some countries that are high cases of corruption thus deny the education sector enough resources to facilitate education teachers and learning materials. Teachers need to conduct themselves professionally to encourage parents to support education to their children. On the other hand, parents should support their children by providing school fees in time. The government has the responsibility to reduce corruption and facilitate the education sector to enhance corruption. Comment by TutorMe Tutor: In some communities, students fail to attend classes. Comment by TutorMe Tutor: this revision is required because the sentence you currently have makes absolutely no sense. Comment by TutorMe Tutor: great, and what if the parents cannot afford it? Then what?

Thesis Statements Comment by TutorMe Tutor: your thesis is coming way to far down in the paper. There is too much information that exists before we get to the point of your paper.

Lack of education hurts society and people's lives base on the social, economic, and political environment. Education is the leading cause of teenage pregnancy and inequalities, poverty, child trafficking, and common crimes (Geda, 2019). Poverty is contributed by the fact uneducated people are unable to secure permanent and well-paid jobs. Lack of education plays a critical role in teenagers' pregnancy where girls are exposed to early marriages by their parents to embrace outdated cultural practices. Comment by TutorMe Tutor: you have one sentence on page 5 that actually covers the relevance (barely) between education and teen pregnancy. This is NOT enough to support your thesis AT ALL.

Background information

Lack of education is a phenomenon that affects children across the globe for many years, and someone somewhere in the world is still suffering from it now. Millions of people around the world still lack access to education. Over 72 million primary school-aged children are not enrolled in a school based on the current findings. Inequality and marginalization make children who do not have access to schooling stand out. Many schools in developing countries are experiencing financial difficulties as a result of the fact that elementary education is a major issue in many regions (Mohr, Carbajal & Sharma, 2019). Many other nations are unsupportive of the financial resources often aim at improving schools, hiring teachers, improves resources suppliers and competent instructors. As a result of the lack of financial resources, the standard of education has decreased.

Gifted students are mainly benefiting from many resources through sponsorship programs at the expense of other weaker students. The process has led to frustration among a majority of the students which creates inequality which prevents each student from benefiting from the learning, thus leading to dropouts and a high level of education. The majority of teachers fail to advise the government on appropriate education policies, leading to a lack of education. Being poor is a vicious cycle because parents without a high school diploma are 50percent on average more likely to refuse to pay for their children's education.

More funds are needed in many countries to provide better education, yet the finances are not accessible. Discrimination based on a specific gender, worth, impairment, and race exist in education, especially in the United States (Poirier, Law & Veispak, 2019). Many children have been denied an education as a result of discrimination based on sex and race. There are cases where boys have been given more education privileges than girls since most people believe that boys should be educated since they have more responsibilities. Therefore, it happens globally that people may fail to achieve their academic goals due to differences in gender, sex, or race.

For instance, in the United States, minority groups have lagged in their educational achievements than their white peers. For instance, students in the United States are not given the same educational attention due to racism. Emerging of separate schools for black and white people was the main reason where black people are frustrated and drop out of school. The black schools are less facilitated and more likely to be located in the rural areas in the United States. Through such discriminations, some students from specific communities end up dropping out of school where they face early pregnancy or engage in criminal activities. Discrimination is also found with the school administration where the black students are always suspected for indiscipline cases, expelled, suspended, and more likely not be referred for gifted education. Lack of education increases the rate at which students early life particularly when they are not allowed to go back to school after dropping out (Sullivan, Ghushchyan, Navaratnam, Friedman, Kavati, Ortiz & Lanier, 2018). Comment by TutorMe Tutor: congratulations: here is the one sentence that has an ounce to do with what you stated your thesis is. Not even another sentence touches this. Your thesis is not correct for this paper.

The two solutions to lack of education

The solution to lack of education is not one person's duty but collaboration between various stakeholders such as the government, parents, and students (Mwangi, Thelamour, Ezeofor & Carpenter, 2018). Parents have the responsibility to pay the school fees in time while offering guidance and counseling to their children on the importance of acquiring the right education. On the other hand, the government has the responsibility to make education more affordable and accessible to all students. On the other hand, teachers should become role models to students and eradicate discrimination in the education sector.

The first ideal solution is to facilitate the education sector by reducing the teachers’ workload by employing more teachers. High workloads among the teachers are the main reasons where teachers fail to offer individualized learning to students. The high workload overwhelms teachers making them exhausted to deliver what they are expected by the curriculum. A high workload makes teachers rush to complete the syllabus which makes the students rugged behind in understanding and comprehending the academic concepts. Therefore, the government should increase facilitation and employs more teachers to offer more individualized education where they will increase students’ supervision and enhance guidance and counseling among the students (DeCherney, Nathan, Laufer & Roman, 2019). Guidance and counseling will enable teachers to address psychological challenges and enable them to eradicate cases of school dropout the contribute crime and early teenagers' pregnancy. The second solution is to increase finance in the healthcare sector and make education across the globe compulsory and free to all children. Free education is only available among the first world countries.

Conclusion

The research paper has revealed that lack of education is a global phenomenon that is the main contributing factor to poverty, teenage pregnancy, general crimes, and children trafficking. The solution to the lack of education is to support teachers through the reduction of the workload. The other solution to the lack of education is revealing finances to the education sector and ensuring the education system is free from primary to higher education levels. All children should have equal rights in access to quality education regardless of gender, race, and ethnicity.
