Education Deprived

Many countries outside of the US have a number of struggles regarding the education of the citizens, adults, and children.
These countries, such as Ghana, have only 50% of their children get through the 5th grade, and less than half of that make it through 10th grade. There are many other problems that other countries like this have to face when trying to solve the issue of education.

Lack of funding

In many countries funding is a major issue, In school, and in many family. The schools can not afford basic materials, like textbooks and desks for students to study at. Even when they do have these products they are outdated and worn out, and even then these books are in short supply.In Cameroon, there are about 12 student to every reading text book, and about 13 students to every mathematics textbook.
The lack of funding has also result in budget cuts, in Slovakia, the economic crisis has put a strain on the budgets of public schools. Education International has reported that the average pay of a member of the school staff is a mere 400 euros, which is below the OECD average

Lack of teachers

In these foreign countries, the schools are often understaffed, and work in classes of over 30 children. Many teachers that teach in classrooms don't have proper training, or didn't have a proper education themselves, this results in students not getting the education they need, and makes it harder to find jobs, in the already scarce job market.
A report from Education International revealed that Latvia teacher's salaries are among the lowest in Europe, amounting to a mere 6,ooo per annum.
The Latvia government's failure to see the value in their educators, is detrimental to their citizens right to a proper education.

Exclusion based on gender

In many countries, especially in the Middle East, many females are excluded from school, and many other social events and spaces on account of their gender. In these countries education is thought to be valued more by males than it is to a female. Females are often kept at home to do chores, and many girls too embarrassed to go to school because they do not have proper menstraul facilities at their school.
According the UNICEF, about 121 million children worldwide do not attend school, 9 million more girls than boys, also Plan Interntional says " When girls are forced to marry young, they are often pulled out of school at a very critical age in their development. The transition from primary to secondary education is key for girls to gain the life skills they need to escape the cycle of poverty. Yet, this is often the same time that many girls leave school due to early marriages or pregnancy. Girls who become pregnant are often discouraged from attending school because of the stigma surrounding them."

Strides needed to solve these issues

These struggles that are sweeping over developing countries, will be a challenge to overcome, but with time, effort, and the deliberation of others, we can overcome these issue, and break the vicious cycle that is linked to little to no education.

The lack of funding and resources in these countries is a serious issue that these schools and governments must have a serious talk about, and they must find ways to solve these problems. There are many charities that could donate and provide help to these schools that are struggling to educate their students, and to teach them proper life skills
Regarding the issue of lacking in professional teachers, the governments of developed countries could develop more programs to outsource teachers to teach classrooms and create schools. Not only that, these governments could be programs to educate and create new teachers to teach in their own communities, this will help increase the number of educated people in the area, and these people could share their knowledge with others in the community to break the cycle.
In foreign countries, where girls are excluded from schools because of the expenses, family values, or they are simply to embarrased to attend, governments could create a school that is primarily focused on girls education and their needs, these schools would encourage learning, have proper facilities and equipment to allow girls to solve their problems, bodily or not. It is important for all people to have a chance to get a proper education, so they can live a successful, and safe life, and to better their community around.
