Education is often viewed as school in a traditional, formal sense. Many
people believe that true learning can only take place in a formal classroom
setting. Others feel education occurs in many different forms and environments.
There may not be a definitive answer to the question of, ‘What is education?’
However, we can start thinking about the purpose of education. Is it to educate
youth to be responsible citizens? Is it to develop individuals, as well as
society, in order to ensure a society’s economic success? Or is it to simply
focus on developing individual talents and intelligence? Perhaps it is the
balance of all three that defines education? While our answers may differ, we can
perhaps agree that education is a basic human right. When that right is granted
growth and development, the society as a whole is more likely to improve in
areas such as health, nutrition, general income and living standards and
population fertility rates.
As global citizens it is our
responsibility to critically think about the issues and attempt to come up with
solutions to the problems plaguing education. In 1990 UNESCO launched EFA, the
movement to provide quality education for all children, youth, and adults by
the year 2015. The unfortunate reality is that for many countries, larger
issues some before improving the quality of education. How can we achieve the
goals of EFA when numerous countries around the world are faced with challenges
that seem far too impossible to overcome? The answer lies in attempting to
bridge some of the gaps that prevent developing nations to compete with
developed nations. One example is that of providing greater access to technology
and narrowing the ever widening digital divide. In many ways the most basic
access to technology can serve as a valuable educational tool. Individuals who
are not afforded this access are at a disadvantage when trying to grasp
opportunities to make life better for themselves, their families, and their
community.
