IELTS #6: Education as he single most important factor in the development of a country Education is the single most important factor in the development of a country. Do you agree? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Education is one of the significant elements to help a country develop in a positive way. I agree with the statement for the following reasons. First of all, education is vital to every child's personal development and should not be denied by any reason. All children have the right to go to school and learn how to read and write their mother tongue. Recent studies have shown that acquisition is essential for communication and can also form their cultural identity. In addition, many jobs do not only require basic education and computer skills, but also academic knowledge. If students are highly educated, they will have more opportunities after graduation. In this way, they can be an important source of the future leaders for development. Education, with the new technology, can also equalize the economic gap between rich and poor. The severe famine in Somalia caused many deaths, however, not many people were aware of the news, as it was not broadcast as a top story on TV and relegated to the middle pages of most major news papers. Through the Internet, many students raised the issue by writing a blog or putting messages on social networking services, such as Facebook, because they learned in school that this critical situation was not only a result of their unfortunate climate, but also the economic inequality. The young generation can corporate with youth in other countries to tackle global issues by creating content on the Internet. In conclusion, it is important to provide all children with good education. Knowledge they gain will never run out and can be used efficiently for a country's development in various ways.
