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.
