Using Education Against Poverty, Claims John Major

London, United Kingdom, December 16, 2014 (Newswire.com) - The former Prime Minister, “John Major” has recently given his thoughts and views on government undervaluing education as means to combat poverty.

In an interview, Major has actually the successive governments for underestimating the academic role as a way out to deal with poverty issues.

John Major, the former prime minister left his schooling when he was just 15 and believes that lack of academic qualification leads to children face poverty where the society does not value their skills as well.

Mr. Major in an interview with Tony Blair’s education secretary “David Blunkett” also gave his opinion on the need for continuously learning something new throughout their life. As Major left the school very early, he himself acknowledged the significance of qualifications and then finally gained them through distance learning. That means, he emphasizes on the fact that education can help everyone go a long way in dealing with poverty as it makes a human confident enough to face the challenging social world.

Major added that if people do not have education they must not sit behind and achieve something new which could help them earn at least something than nothing, which gives them internal satisfaction as well.

When LSBF, the London School of Business and Finance took an interview from Mr. Major, he claimed that education is the ladder to fight away poverty hence, it is very essential.  

Researches have shown mostly people who are left behind and made to beg are those who lack in education. Even a little knowledge of something can help them earn and combat the state of poverty, which every individual must comprehend. Education is the only route through it and so, education must not be underestimated.

While, it is not feasible for every child to become an engineer or doctor, he or she can still believe in learning skills that can take them towards a monetarily contented future.
