The Destruction Of The Lack Of Education In Canada

Decent Essays
The world is often hypocritical. Everyone believes that education is important. Regardless of your background, education holds some type of value in your heart. Even Michelle Obama rapped about the importance of going to college, yet there are millions of children around the world who do not attend college or even have access to a basic education. Education is empowering, yet millions of children are denied of this basic right. Fortunately here in Canada, children are granted the right to an education but because of how fortunate Canadians are, we are sometimes blinded of the lack of educational rights in other countries like Kenya, India, and Pakistan. In these countries, many schools are underfunded and can not provide a proper education

    In the video, Shabana Basij-Rasikh is talking about the frustrations she experienced growing up in Afghanistan when she quotes her dad saying, “you could lose everything you own in your life… but the one thing that will always remain with you is here” as she is pointing to her head. In a country where we take many things for granted, especially education, this quote put life into perspective. Education was a top priority growing up in my household. My dad, like Shabana’s father, believed education, especially during your high school years, is a crucial component to your success.

    Malala brings women’s rights up a lot in her book, which is unbelievably great but besides that she brings up the importance of education up as well. Apart from showing great rhetorical devices, Malala speaks highly of education. When she received her Nobel Peace Prize, she declared,” This is the last time, This is the last time we see a child deprived of education” (Yousafzai,2014).In her country, Pakistan, education isn't really important for women and children.

Students are likely to focus more in a classroom with people of the same gender and age, as they are less prone to be distracted. From a first-hand experience with the baby boomer generation, millennia’s are growing up with the idea that if one goes to school, tries hard, and get good grades; one will graduate, go on to post-secondary and, ultimately be successful (“Rethinking Education”).

Education is such a powerful tool, and many people around the world would sacrifice so much to…
