The education in Third World countries is terrible, and one possible reason is because of the appalling conditions in which the schools have to function. Imagine the schools that are in the United States and Great Britain. Large pristine buildings with descent sized classrooms, bathrooms, and a place to eat lunch. These are the privileged ones. Most people who attend such institutions don’t realize the difference between what they have and what others have to go without.
Schools in Third World countries sometimes don’t have desks or even an actual place to learn. Some towns have buildings that are where the children learn but they are never in that good of condition. Occasionally, a building will have a board that the teacher can write on. More often than not, teachers have to dictate a good portion of their lectures.
Teachers often are just people in the village or town that are trying to help out the children as professionally are not in a position to be paid in such areas of the world. Sometimes, professionals will help out when they are passing through doing research on the people. Opposite to the contrary, the student to teacher ratio can be as high as 103:1. This making teaching difficult for teachers everywhere, and even worse in countries such as this.
