The role of education in
development
How education leads to development
: People need knowledge understanding and skills in order to improve their lives.
Therefore though education literacy rates will improve and this enables people to learn and communicate more,
This allows for people to understand hygiene and heath care, family size control, their rights in 21st century. These improve development as life expectancy increase, GIN should rise as people are more educated so better jobs leading the HDI score to improve. This would therefore lead to development, as HDI is a major measure of development.
Disparities in access to education
Rural vs urban divide
There are disparities between location, as rural area often have much lower healthcare than other areas
INDIA 2016: The adult female literacy rate in rural areas is 50.6% VS 76.9% in urban. Adult male literacy rate: Rural areas is 74.1% Vs 88.3% in urban areas.
This is due to urban areas having better access to education, as they have more access to teachers as higher population. Also urban areas are often have more wealth
Gender : Females historically across the world have not had same access to education as men, so there is dissipates in gender
Also there are dissipates what people think woman should learn.
( Middle east mainly believe they should learn to run the home.) This is one reason there are disparities
Literacy rates by age: In Pakistan literacy rates for the youth are 74.5% (2017) and the adult rates of literacy are 59.1% (2017) and the elderly literacy rates are 27. 1% (2017
This shows that there is as inverse relationship between age and literacy rates. This is because as age rises literacy rates fall.
This may because the youth have better access to education, as Pakistan is now more developed.
Literacy rates in Pakistan between genders: for men literacy rates are 69% whereas for females literacy rates are 40%
2015 : 69% of countries had equal access to primary school and 48% for secondary education
Disparities in income (poverty) - Areas in poverty are likely to have worst off education, additionally may not be able to access higher education.
Access to higher education
This is the case due to in developing countries many children aged 7 to 14 are working rather than attending school
UN estimates (2013) that 59 million of ages of primary school and 65 million of lower secondary school were not attending school and there working.
Most of these working children are Girls
This problem was worse in areas of high poverty and conflicts, epidemics, or natural distress - Counties of Sahel have 30 million children (ages 6-11) not attending school
With twice as many girls than boys never receiving schooling
The actions of UNSECO and what are the results
.
UNSECO stands for UN, education, scientific,and cultural organisation, they have taken action by 'supports countries to develop and expand educational activities'
online courses for helping teachers, provides a global network of more than 10,000 educational institutions in 181 countries.
It has done much to raise literacy rates, increase female literacy rates in south Asia and Africa.
However, at least 750 million youth and adults still cannot read and write and 250 million children are failing to acquire basic literacy skills. This results in an exclusion of low-literate and low-skilled youth and adults from full participation in their communities and societies.
