EDUCATION=EQUALIZER

CATALINA L. SERRANO

One of the principal and prevalent problem of a developing country is poverty it has been a major problem of our own country since time immemorial which consumes a lot of our resources and energy.

Poverty has been a shackle for the poor it was a major life changing condition, and the worst part of it is it doesn't discriminate a lot of the choices and decisions made by poor people are decided based on the premise of being poor in the modern world lack of financial capacity renders somebody with a disability because in a capitalistic economy money is the way to do things thus being poor would be the one of the greatest struggle of somebody, but since this is a capitalistic economy hope would never be out of reach one thing that lifts a lot of people from the poverty line is education. Education has become and is continuously becoming the key to free someone from the shackles of poverty. It has served major roles in developing the financial capability of a lot of professionals due to the fact that in the modern information age knowledge is truly a power in the economic sense since most high paying jobs are for professionals that requires degrees and specializations acquired and learned in the modern education system that we have. This education system was reinforced by the government to stop the growing wealth gap in the growing economy of this country. By having the citizens employed the government keeps the economy growing and the citizen's employment would require education which would be socially and freely provided by the state thus freeing the populace from the futile cycle of poverty.

Education is fsr greater than poverty this is the very concrete step of a democratic and capitalistic society to materialise an inclusive growth and promote social equity and justice among the citizenry and the populace thus sustaining the growth and the development of a progressive country.
