The Alternative Education Effects On Poverty

By Enid Hinton


One of our global problems is poverty. It is experienced in all countries even the most developed ones. It is found in both the urban and the rural areas. In the rural areas, it is manifested in the inaccessibility of health facilities, education and infrastructure. In the urban places, it is seen in terms of pollution of air, water and land, poor housing, overcrowding and so many other ways. Education is not here to make us rich and successful as many people think. Not everything goes as planned. There are alternative education effects on poverty.

So many opportunities are associated with going to schools. They are mainly found in the scholarships and sponsorships. When one is a bright student but cannot pay his or her fees, there are organizations that are always ready to aid in the paying of the fees. Also in sports, students are sponsored to go out of the country just to harness their talents.

One learns the basic knowledge about everything around him. How things works and what makes them work. This helps in stirring up the creativity of an individual. It helps him come up with things that make life easier for himself and those that are around him. He can make a very significant change to the development of his country and the world at large.

Communication skills are present in all aspects of life. The ability to communicate effectively is only taught in institutions. They enhance good relations among people, creating peace. These skills are mostly practiced in the media professionally. Even when one is searching for a job, one needs to know how to express themselves.

Institutions are centers for people from all walks of life. They are inhabited by people from different backgrounds and races. Our interaction with such people helps us adapt to living in harmony with others. We are able to avoid misunderstandings caused by our differences. As we all know, conflicts are a major contributor to society issues such as poverty. Conflicts makes a nation lag behind in terms of development.

Acquiring diverse knowledge impacts one with the necessary life skills. It helps one to make sound decisions for the betterment of his life and that of others. Good decisions ensure all, or the majority are the beneficiaries. They also ensure fairness and equality in the distribution of the various types of resources.

Other handy skills are also learnt in these institutions. They include artwork, tailoring, good cooking, welding, construction and many others. These skills are mostly done out of passion and talent. It makes most of the people that explore them produce high quality results. In so doing, they are able to raise their living standards and eradicate poverty on their area.

Education impacts positively in the lives of most people for it gives them hope for a brighter future. It helps one follow a dream. Hard work, determination and commitment are the determinants of whether one will achieve the dream that they follow. Everyone always works for a brighter future.

Education has innumerably effects to those who have been affected by poverty. It enlightens people and helps them see the world from a different point of view. Education is acquiring knowledge that will help better your life. Knowledge is power.
