Blog 6: Education Needs to be a Global Concern


Summary

Bill Clinton spoke at the Dubai conference focusing on the idea that the world needs to put more importance on education and education equality. He says that it is just as important of an issue as health, poverty, and climate change. He speaks of the hundreds of millions of children that are not getting a proper education and the struggles they are more likely to face because of it, especially women. In order for education to gain more notice, a lot of different organizations need to step in and help with spreading awareness and finically. Mr. Clinton references examples such as Haiti, Uganda, and Brazil in which the cooperation of many helped make a difference. One country cannot make the change on its own; the world needs to work together to help create a quality education for everyone.

Analysis

Improving education is a necessity and in order to make it one the world needs to work together. Those who are not fortunate enough to receive a quality education are twice as likely to come down with HIV Aids in areas where that is prevalent and tend to lead lower class lifestyles. Those who do receive a quality education are more likely to earn a greater income, resist conflict, and be a more active citizen. Bill Clinton’s speech not only touched on the importance of a quality education, but also on education equality so that women, refugees, immigrants, and the disabled all have a fair chance of receiving an education. Evidence of education improving around the world is evident through the cooperation of different countries, businesses, and organizations but there needs to be more and on a grander scale. Education can ultimately help to put an end to other worldly issues. The world needs to come together in recognizing that education is just as important as other issues and take actions to make it as such.
