The UK
government has decided to take wealth that could be used to help the poorest
countries and attempt to help allow children to have free public education and
instead are using that to fund the private sector. The Department for
International Development (DfID) has close relationships with the private
sector and is filling the pockets of the large corporations. There was a study
done on Friday called Profiting from poverty, again, and it showed that the aid
that should be used to support human needs building up public services in low
economic sectors as the UK. The DfID is dogmatically promoting private health
and education when it’s been shown that this approach actually entrenches
inequality and endangers access. On Friday, a group of US, British and South
African NGOs and teachers’ groups issued a letter to the CEO of Person, a
company that is one of the corporations that is given money from the DfID, that
states that the states that Person is not allowing affordable public education
but increasing private education.
Analysis:
I believe
that if the UK has the ability to increase the private education, then they
should allow the public education a chance to get a better education. Children
all over should be allowed a chance to have an education. I think that the
private sectors getting such large selection of the money is unfair. Everyone
should have an equal chance of education. With the sudden changes in how education
and poverty have correlated lines, it is easy to see how they are together. When
poverty is high, education is low. The education sector needs to rely greatly
on assistance, mostly when the location is in poverty stricken area. The
inequality that appears in those areas that are lower in poverty extremely
needs of assistance from things like the DfID. They require this assistance
because they do not have the ability to request the assistance from the
parents.
