In the modern age we can imagine a world of non educated people. The recent researches has shown a very big problem. Most of the people in US or Canada don’t even know that is a massive problem in the educational system in the world. The majority of people, especially in the third world countries are illiterate. The capitalism brought many good things to the world. The repressive regimes , and tyranny time is over and now when you are free to live how you want and to do what you want yout logical assumption is that people all around the world have equality ? That is sadly wrong. There is no equality , for that meter in the US, and the fast that is both funny and sad at the same time is that people actually believe that they all have same wright to education. That is the truth but only on paper. Socialistic states have this wright, because the education was free and everyone who has the desire to educate themselves could do it. The sad fact is that the most prosperous nation in the world in the past century (we are of course referring to United states ) don’t have that equality when it comes to education. In almost every capitalistic state education is available but not nesesearly available to everyone. Just in the US the “IVY League” education cost approximately 100.000,00 dollars . So if you don’t have scholarship, or as Americans call it “full ride”, you only chance to educate yourself is student loan. The average payment period for that kind of loan is about from 7 to 10 years (if you get a job right after college). In third world countries the situation is even worse. Every year in almost every country in the world the government reduses the funds for public education , the facilities such as buildings , schools , courtyards are being demolished or reconstructed for other purposes. The other factor is poor salary system in those countries and lack of fundamental needs suck as books and even pencils and other necessities for studying. For many children who still do not have access to education, it is notable because of persisting inequality and marginalization. In developing and developed countries alike, children do not have access to basic education because of inequalities that originate in sex, health and cultural identity (ethnic origin, language, religion). These children find themselves on the margins of the education system and do not benefit from learning that is vital to their intellectual and social development. The whole image of education has changed because of the marginalization and consumerism. As a result of poverty and marginalization, more than 72 million children around the world remain unschooled. Sub-Saharan Africa is the most affected area with over 32 million children of primary school age remaining uneducated. Central and Eastern Asia, as well as the Pacific, are also severely affected by this problem with more than 27 million uneducated children.Additionally, these regions must also solve continuing problems of educational poverty (a child in education for less than 4 years) and extreme educational poverty (a child in education for less than 2 years). Essentially this concerns Sub-Saharan Africa where more than half of children receive an education for less than 4 years. In certain countries, such as Somalia and Burkina Faso, more than 50% of children receive an education for a period less than 2 years. The lack of schooling and poor education have negative effects on the population and country. The children leave school without having acquired the basics, which greatly impedes the social and economic development of these countries. That is the sad story of this enormous social problem.
