The Correlation between Education and Poverty Being a child born into poverty can be one of the worst experiences in life.

Historically, children have been marginalized through various means such as cheap labor and human trafficking, but only recently, world governments have begun to allocate significant funding for the fight against poverty and poverty-associated indecencies.

She was the founder of Teachers College, which grew out of the New York College for the Training of Teachers (“Grace Hoadley Dodge”; Selles & Noll, 2006).

underfunding of schools. There is a desperate need for reform of public spending. Insufficient funding leads to a multitude of problems, such as students feeling doubtful of their level of education and teachers feeling overwhelmed and incapable of providing the best education possible.

There are many problems that the world faces, but the main three that need to change right now are war, poverty, and lack of proper education world wide. If countries came together this could be achieved. If people had the right living conditions they would not have to focus on surviving the day, but rather could focus on learning and improving themselves.

country’s economy will affect another country’s economy, whether positively or negatively. Here is where education plays a major role. Education has the power to influence the global economy. In the United States, the government invests a great deal of their budget into education because it encourages economic growth. If the United States government were to also invest in a developing country’s education, both that country and the U.S. would see growth in their economy. Currently, the U.S. sends foreign
Even though Beegle was born into poverty and nobody in her family was educated passed the eighth grade; she was determined and managed to get her education.
