The issue is lack of education in developing countries. Most people in developing countries don’t have access to an education, or they do but the distance to school from their home is too great and they think that it would benefit their family more if they did domestic chores.

If a child does go to school it is usually the boy of the family because the culture believes that he will have a better chance of leading a successful life and supporting the family. Although education is available through-out the developing countries, there are not enough schools for the countries’ huge populations. Studies show that the parents’ first priority for their children after they have food, shelter, water etc. is to get an education for their child/children, but food, shelter, and water is hard to get.

This is a problem because everybody deserves an education and needs one to contribute to society and to learn about important things. Education helps people to be successful in life. It allows them to perhaps have a professional job such as a doctor. When people have a well paying job then they will not be in poverty, this would help the state of these developing countries.Education should be accessible too, because if somebody has to walk a long way to school they most likely are not going to do it.

People need an education to make their society better. It is unfair that the boy of the family should go to school instead of the girl of the family, and it is degrading to their society because girls need to learn about how having too many children is a crisis for them and the world because there would too many people to take care of, and it increases the population which will not help their country because the country is already struggling enough as it is, then adding more people to take care of, is a problem.

The countries with the poorest education are third world countries. The countries are: Haiti, Somalia, Eritrea, Comoros, Ethiopia, Chad, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Liberia. All of these countries are in Africa except for Haiti. Haiti is an island, South of Cuba.
