Effects Of Poverty On Teaching And Learning
“Young children growing up in poverty face challenges with cognitive and literary ability and [often] begin school both academically and socioeconomically behind their peers from higher-income backgrounds.”
Effects of Poverty on Education
Poverty reduces a child’s readiness for school because it leads to poor physical health and motor skills, diminishes a child’s ability to concentrate and remember information, and reduces attentiveness, curiosity and motivation.
Education will help end poverty because, with basic education, parents learn more about how to care for themselves and their families, which in turn leads their children towards healthier lifestyles.
EFFECT OF EDUCATIONAL POVERTY
Save the Children gave the definition of the so-called “educational poverty”, describing it as a process of limitation of children’s right to education and deprivation of their opportunities to learn and develop the skills they will need to succeed in a rapidly changing society.
Impacts on Mental Health.
Poverty is the main cause and consequence of poor ill health. Poverty affects mental health through an array of social and biological mechanisms acting at multiple levels, including individuals, families and friends.
Current state of EDUCATION LESS poor society
People from low-income generating family will make their kids to do labour in many rural areas.
Effect of poverty on learning
- Affects their learning capacity mentally
- When it comes to food and shelter for poor people, education is not considerable.
- Without education — lack of confidence
- Low literacy rate
- Affects children’s development
- Reduces thinking capacity and makes them involve in many immatured harmful activities for the society
- Economic Crisis would come if a country has many uneducated young adults.
Effects of poverty on teaching
- FOR teachers poverty related to low income job from tier 4 schools or colleges (employment factor)
Poverty Cycle
low income = Providing poor quality of education = which results low literacy in students = which results in no job situation = no income = again Poverty (it’s a cycle ).
Major effects for both the sectors
- Emotional and Social challenges
- Acute and Chronic stressors
- Cognitive lags
- Health and Safety issues
Gaps in system of education and research questions
- There is no proper system of education which is readily available at their doorstep.
- Unorganized management and unallocated funds for education development system paves way for negative growth education.
- Lack of new technologies that promote education at rural areas
Research Questions
- Why school is not teaching kids or adults to make money for their living while they talk abt 100% placement through grades not through knowledge?
- Why schools not removing poverty but encouraging to pay fees on time ?
-Teachers should understand the impact of poverty on children’s education and well-being, isn’t it ?
Conclusion
You will become teacher only if you have learned. If you can’t make money for your living by using the 16 years of education, then what you have learned in your school or college. it’s not worth talking about.
