Causes and Effects of Lack of Quality Education
Causes
Education is not free to the public in some region. Families sometimes need to focus their resources on immediate concerns like food/shelter and cannot afford to send their children to school (McCalla, 2016)
Population crises. Around 300 million children ranging from the ages of 5 to 17 have to work, for an array of reasons worldwide (McCalla, 2016)
Geographical location can be an obstacle: harsh weather, transportation problems, and the physical land are threats to education around the globe (McCalla, 2016),
The unstable/unpredictable political climates of some countries take primary focus over education. Constant civil wars and grappling of power distract from provided essential education for the youth (McCalla, 2016)
It goes without saying that prejudice exists everywhere. Regarding education, minority/ethnic groups and children with disabilities are more often times than not discriminated against. They are left behind (Allison Academy, n.d.)
Conflicts with other countries and constant wars drains resources and sometimes even requires the youth themselves to fight in the name of their countries. Distracting from the necessity of quality education (Global Citizen, 2019).
Poor teaching conditions. In underfunded areas, the teachers themselves are not qualified to provide the guidance necessary and are themselves uneducated (Allison Academy, n.d.)
Education is not highly valued in some countries/regions. Even though it is recognized that education is important, sometimes there are economical problems that require greater attention/resources (McCalla, 2016).
The lack of Schools. In some regions schools cannot handle the capacity of children that need to be educated (McCalla, 2016)
Lack of money. Ever project/investment needs funding. Without government support/sponsorship schools cannot be built, transportation cannot be set up, and teachers cannot be paid (Allison Academy, n.d.)

Effects
The exploitation of the youth. If children cannot think for themselves and change their circumstances; certain governments are not above using the youth for labor (Srihita Adabala, 2020).
Children become difficult to raise. It is a simple calculus. An educated child usually equates to a better behaved child (Srihita Adabala, 2020).
Unemployment. Without mental skills/tools occupations become limited. This inhibits a diverse workforce/economy (Srihita Adabala, 2020)
Children, especially females are at risk of falling into old patriarchal social norms. Ex: without the opprotunites that edducation provides young women, in Saudi Arabia & Nigeria, women struggle to find jobs are have to rely on marrying young and become dependent on their counterpart (Srihita Adabala, 2020).
Poverty. It becomes almost impossible to escape poverty when the necessary resources to remove one's self from poverty do not exist or lack. Without education the odds are stacked against a child's chances of escaping the poverty trap they have been born into (Srihita Adabala, 2020)
Children do not reach their potential. In order for a child to become the best version of themselves, having a quality education is essential.

Data
About only 20% of countries supported children with proper mental health and psych. help after the COVID crisis (U.N., 2022).
Roughly 1/4 of primary schools around the world don't have access to basic needs: electricity, water, and sanitation(U.N., 2022).
Children completing upper education only increased from 54%
(2015) to 58% (2020) with the progress slowing (U.N., 2022).
Estimated over 147 million children missed more than 50% of their classes from 2020 to 2022 (U.N., 2022)
