By Mehedi

Education is the backbone of the nation. It is observed that a properly educated nation can enjoy the most prestigious status of human. The wealther a nation the more educated its people are. Education is a basic human right like food, clothes, medicine and shelter. Therefore, a developing nation should spend  the lion's share of its nationl budget for education. But, only theoretical knowledge cannot simply meet the hunger of poor nations. There is something that is more important than theoretical education.

 

Knowledge is power, which is only achieved from real education. Proper utilization of knowlwdge to develop business and and industry is essential for the overall groeth of a developing country. Most western countries have literacy rate more than 90%, is the vivid indicator of development. Education has basically three categories such as primary, secondary and tertiary (i.e. university degree). Generally, primary education is the need that should be fulfilled by all countries, irrespective of their economic statuses. A nation is always responsible for the primary education of its generation. It is also a matter of their prestige to survive as the best creation of this universe and understand the on going process of human development via evalution. Only an educated person can boast of his wealth while education is the light to follow  and is better than any form of wealth a man can possess. Primary helps to develop a native language necessary for effective communication, which is required for a development achieved from a collective use of talents from different classes of a country. Therefore, a country should provide education to all citizens, whether they rich or poor.

 

 

There are some difficulties and problems arises while  a developing or a poor nation is unable to provide the light of education in its basic form i.e. primary level. A hungry child can not leearn anything untill it is fed up. So, poverty, hunger, shelter etc. are some basic rights, which are prime important for a developing country before primary education. Although, job oriented education, vocational training, and practical diplomas are the desired form of education than basic primary education. Moreover, it is observed thata poor nation is suffering heavily with highly educated unemployed young generation.  The knowledge that fails to generate income may not appropriate for the least developed country. It is recommended to cut a larger slice of its budget allocation for higher education at the optimum level. In addition, education is equal for all and it is not limited to rich people. For this schools have a provision of wearing same dress showing equal status among rich and poor children. Thereby, we should provide basic education free for each person irrespective of his personal wealth. Rich or poor every person should take education.

 

 

Regardless of some problems arise due to provide free education, a developing country should spend most of its revenue on education, and make primary education almost free; and is accessed to the whole generation.
