The world is dark without education
Education is a basic need of every person. The progress of a country depends upon the number of educated people living in that country. But poor people can't afford higher education. They have to work hard to fulfill their basic needs. Education is a name of awareness. Education should be given to every person because it is necessary to know about the world and to explore the different things in the world.
Most people get the basic education
Because the poor government can also provide the basic education to most people in the country and the poor people provide the basic education to their children so that they would be able to do small jobs instead of doing nothing in life.
Higher education is difficult to afford for a poor person so people leave their education and move towards a job or small businesses.

There are some serious reasons why people leave education:
Education is a guarantee of awareness and knowledge but it is not a guarantee for a job. Education is more costly and the skills to start a business or some other jobs are absent in most degrees so people prefer to become skillful by working in life instead of getting higher education.
People don't want to get higher education because they consider it a waste of time as the most educated people are also jobless but they have spent most of their time and money to get degrees.
Education makes people skillful and educated people one day make progress in the world. The progress of a country depends upon educated people but people can't afford the degrees so they move toward jobs that are also not available to the people.
Higher education has become a dream for the generation of developing and underdeveloped countries.
There are some other reasons why poor people can't get higher education. The most important reason is poverty because developing and underdeveloped countries don't have the resources to provide free education and most people can't bear the expenses of education.
Education, especially higher education needs many instruments and many practical tools in universities and colleges, and the dues of colleges are unaffordable. It is difficult to pay a lot of money to the teachers and lecturers in universities and colleges.
Poor people get some education, they have to get a job and they have to take responsibility for a big family as education is costly. So the young generation can't tolerate the responsibilities as well as their education costs. All the rich children get the highest posts in the country so the poor remain poor.
The dark side of free education
The value of education can be decreased as the students will pay less attention because they would not be paying for it and teachers will also take it for granted because they will not be answerable before anyone.
The honesty of students and the teachers toward studies would be suspected as the spoiled children of rich people don't even care about the money that their wealthy parents spend on them. The careless students of universities disturb the environment. They are more interested in creating fuss than studying. Due to such people, the image of some universities is destroyed. If they were able to stay in university without paying, they would not learn a single word there.
In my country government institutes are offering free basic education but the people are more interested in sending their children to private schools because they remain satisfied when paying money for education.
Scholarships
But the method of scholarship is better for the students and it is better to give scholarships to intelligent and poor students but the facilities of scholarships are fewer and all the needy students can't avail of the facilities.
