With the daily challenges posed by economic strangeness and other threats, governments in developing countries are working very hard to ensure that their educational institutions continue to provide a acceptable of study that can make its citizens at part with the educated population in more economically sound countries. To a obvious extent, these Third World countries have succeeded in their crusade for potential education. The question is that a good study comes with a price and it is often a price that many population in Third World countries are not able to pay. So, although potential study is available, it is still unreachable for a large segment of a developing country's population.
Certainly, it is impressive to see that developing countries have educational institutions that are world-class and which offer study that can rival that in case,granted by wealthier nations nearby the world. There is a clear recognition of the role that study plays in overcoming hardship and poverty. However elusive it may be, a good study is still viewed as the best way to a best life.
Among the developing countries that have superb educational systems are such "emerging markets" as Mexico, India, Brazil, Turkey, the Philippines, Egypt, South Africa, Malaysia, Thailand, much of South America and any of the Persian Gulf Arab States.
Obviously, the poorest of the poor in these countries will have a hard time getting into the best schools in their vicinity. Of course, there are always scholarship programs available but these are few. Besides, population at the lowest spectrum of the economic scale are more implicated with more pressing issues linked to their mere survival such as where to find food and money for clothing and shelter. After these basic needs are met, that is the only time that parents can nothing else but focus on their children's schooling. In fact, studies indicate that once their basic economic needs are met, the first priority of most poor families is how to send their children to a good school.
India recently launched Edusat, an educational program aimed at giving potential study to even its poorest citizens. Among the group's first initiatives is the improvement of a 0 laptop which the government hopes to distribute by 2007 to collective schools all over the country.
