Our school systems hasnt changed in almost 2 centuries. It was created to teach kids how to work in factories and to be neat and organize however that isn't the education we need today. All students are different and have different passions and we must be more flexible with our education and get rid of standardized testing.

10.)By having hands on learning we can teach kids how to work together and rather than having them sit down and be lectured about a subject they can feel more of a purpose with their education and keep them in school.  It can help them find their passion and talent.

South Sudan has the lowest literacy rate of only 27%. Civil war and the food crisis has caused education to plummet. Armed groups target schools so most children stay home to stay safe and search for food. Nearly a quarter of schools have shut down leaving 72% of children without education.

2.)Mcmaster, Andrew. “264 Million Children Are Denied Access To Education, New Report Says.” Global Citizen, 2017, www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/education-unesco-global-goals-access/.

264 million children are without education and is continuing to increase. Furthermore, some governments refuse to to take education surveys which is estimated to leave 350 million children underrepresented in these statistics. This lack of responsibility leads to low quality education and teachers teaching without regulations.

Girls are often not sent to schools because they are seen as a waste of money or are simply too poor to afford it. In some cases women are victims of child marriage and labor which prevents them from continuing to receive an education to a certain level.

Students in more developed countries often drop out of school because they are failing classes or simply because of boredom. Other contributing factors can be drug use, pregnancy, or getting held back. People who have high school diplomas earn an average of $9,617 more than those who dropped out. After a decade they can earn more than $100,000 more.

Around the world, not all children have access to education. Sometimes their teachers aren't well trained or their isn't enough funding for the schools and therefore they don't have a classroom. Often females are denied access to education simply because of their gender. Nearly 130 million female children are without education.

I'm Jules Heimbigner my family has been very influential in my life. I'm a Navy brat and have moved twelve times which has really shaped who I am today. I plan to attend a four year college after high school and have been lucky enough to receive an education. In today's world, going to college or getting a simple education seems vital to getting a good quality job but not everyone has access to it. The question I'm looking at is, "Why don't all children have access to education?"
