Education is a Right for All People

South Sudan suffers from the lowest literacy rate in the world with a 27.0% due to the high poverty rate in Southern Sudan lots of children can’t afford to go to school and are suffering disease and Hunger. But education can help people get out this situation, Everyday people are stuck in the the same routine and don’t have education on the list. All people should have the right to a good education, no matter what health, poverty, gender,or mental situation. Education is right to all people and shouldn’t be denied under any circumstances.

If people go a life without an education then they suffer the lack of security from having a job and having a home. A good Education for children would be on the second level which is the safety level on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Because a good education is securing these children a good safe life so they aren’t doomed for life. If people don’t have a good education they won't have a good life, because so much opportunities rely on education to living. People who don’t fulfill the need of living in a life without education don’t secure themselves with any type of security and cant get a good job to support themselves, without education you can’t secure anything in life. You won’t be able to secure a family, property, nor will you be able to secure resources and employment. Women with a primary school education are 13% more likely to know that condoms can reduce their risk of contracting HIV/AIDS, meaning less disease will spread which will save even more people who just get a primary education.

Everyday people live without an education fight everyday to survive. When a person has an education they can secure a position of not living in poverty and living with disease. In low income countries, for every year that a person attends school their future income will be increased by 10%. If people in South Sudan they will be able to attend school they can live life without much struggle, have more knowledge on how to keep safe from disease, and can start supporting themselves and their community.

Most people who live in poverty cannot support themselves and need outside effective and sustainable ways to support themselves. People living without education can receive grants of money from charity groups like oxfam so they can start supporting themselves. Like Oxfam we need to create sustainable ways people can support themselves so they have more time to go to school and have enough money for classes. On average parents in South Sudan earn about 2$ per day to support their families, which is not a lot when you’re a single parent in a poor country who needs to support 4 children. Poverty is the biggest factor affecting if children go to school or not, because it’s pretty clear that going to school is going to be a really big trouble when it comes to 2$ per day or less. Donating to outside sources that will help the inside communities flourish can help the most unfortunate people get an education, and give people a chance to support themselves, while also bettering their lives.

Education is a right for all people no matter what financial, health, and mental situation people are in. People who don’t have an education get stuck in an endless hole where people can’t get out without help.Poverty is the the biggest factor in why people can’t get an education. If a person gets an education they can then survive and have an overall better life away from poverty, helping them support their families. People all over the world who don’t have an education suffer from poverty, sickness, and are illiterate. Think to yourself, where would you be in your life if you were illiterate?
