Why is Education NOT the Way out of Poverty

 

In South Africa we have a mayor problem with the Education System. Each year there is a decline in average grade results despite the fact of the new education systems placed in that are made easier( dumbed down the education system).education-scholarship_cohdi_0

On average only 12% of Grade 6 students scored above 50% for mathematics.

South Africa is pushing for children to study hard – especially those who are in poverty saying that education is the way out of poverty.

Not True.

Have a look at what happened in Egypt – there were many people with many qualifications but there was simply not enough jobs or money.

You could spend the 12 years in school and another 3 – 9 years to pursue  a career only to find yourself in debt and without a job, because there are none.

That is the problem here – the children have no certainty of the future so why must they study?

Another problem here is the whole reason for the education system is to teach people how to make money to survive. Its all about money. Life is all about money.

There isn't enough money for everybody…The system is flawed.

If we consider a equal money system, education will change. It would focus more on what is here in terms of the earth and how to live on earth without harming earth. And allot of the professions today are purely based on the need to make money and serve no real other practical purpose.

In a equal money system the children will have certainty that what they are learning wont be useless or go to waste. There will be certainty regarding their future – they will always be supported.

Time for a Change – a real one.

Save the People or The Wild? Both

 

elephants-tmWatching Planet Earth – The Future series. They are talking about plans for conserving wild animals and keeping them from going extinct. The mayor problem for the animals are that some of them share their environment with poverty stricken communities.

The people destroy the environment by  burning grass fields each year to fertilise the ground to have better growing grass for grazing their livestock. They need to do this to ensure money for them. This process however kills the wildlife.

ivory12You cant go to them and tell them they must stop, animals going extinct doesn't mean anything to them. If you had an option to keep a tree standing or feed your family…

 

Before we can find a solution to conserving wildlife we must find a solution to poverty. And if you have noticed there is no solution – nobody has been able to end poverty that has been around since the beginning of the system. That is because our economic system cannot function without poverty.

There is however a solution to end poverty and conserve wildlife indefinitely – Equal Money System.

We can see that money and the lack of money is the cause for poverty and wildlife going extinct. So in a Equal Money system we will investigate what human populated areas cause damage to the environment and see where we can make improvements or relocate. The people wont need to burn vulnerable grass lands in order to make money, or clear forests to make space for money making facilities, because everyone will have enough.

Children will be educated on the ecosystem and the importance thereof. And since making money to survive wont be the purpose of life we can start by cleaning up the mess we have made. We wont be limited by money in order to do something that needs to be done like taking care of nature. It would only require those who care.

The problem with those who care in this world now is that they don't have the money or time to care, because they need time to make money to survive.

It is about time we do something about our way of living – simply look at the earth – it is not working for everybody and most suffer for it.

Let us then bring in the Equal Money System as the final permanent solution to everything.

Food Cost Pushing Millions into Poverty

This is nothing new. If you can barely afford food, and the food prices increase, then obviously there is going to be a problem.

Food prices already increased by 36% since last year. Pushing 44million people into poverty.
But it happens every year. All Prices increase. There are no provisions made to ensure people will be able to feed themselves.Its like murder, because we increase the price and people die.

The system is falling apart. And no real solution is being presented by our leaders, because of the way our world system is designed there is no solution. Its about profit, and no profit is made by giving people basic needs like food and water. It is dependent on charities which doesn't work, because we still have a problem.

So then the solution lies in a change of the system. We need a System that makes sure that everybody has access to water, food, proper housing and electricity as well as sanitation. For these are our basic human necessities and thus a human right and should not be seen as a privilege that must be paid for. The only way to do this is with the implementation of a  Equal Money System.

Then only can we focus on placing Life above all else.
