Importance of Education for Underprivileged Children

Every child must have access to quality education as it develops essential skills to earn a living and make informed decisions. An educated individual is more capable of navigating through hard times and contributing to the growth of society in comparison to an individual who never received formal education.

Quality education helps children realise their maximum potential and attain financial independence. Education also plays a vital role in eradicating poverty and achieving social justice. It is a matter of grave concern that such a large number of children are not getting educated.

Here are some reasons why education is important for underprivileged children:

• Education is essential for developing critical thinking.

• Education plays a pivotal role in getting higher-paying jobs.

• Kids who are educated can communicate effectively.

• Education promotes gender equality and helps create a society that empowers the underprivileged.

• Education reduces child labour.

• Education can eradicate social evils like child marriage and dowry.

• Education increases creativity and imagination.

• Education is a powerful tool to break free from generational poverty.

• Quality education about health, nutrition and hygiene can drastically reduce preventable deaths.
