There is a dialectical relationship between education and poverty. Generation after generation of poor people will remain uneducated? I want education to eradicate poverty. This article seeks to address the need for a truly effective combination of formal and other formal education to alleviate financial and mental poverty. If it is possible to introduce and coordinate quality technical education at the post-primary level, it is possible to free the country from poverty. Although globalization is supposed to be a huge advantage in this regard, it is not possible due to various structural barriers. On the other hand, a kind of paradox is being created because suitable work and suitable workers cannot reach each other. This article tries to find ways to solve this problem and highlights the need for government initiatives in this regard. On the other hand, even though the rich have a lot of resources, they are not investing in the productive sector. In the interest of the development of the country, human development must be emphasized. In this case, we need to use the experience of East Asia. From which we can see how increased investment in the education sector can bring benefits to the overall development of the state in the long run.
Introduction
The relationship of education with poverty is contradictory and dialectical. In general, the truth of it can be seen by looking around. We see that people who are poor are mostly illiterate or poorly educated. The lower the education, the higher the poverty. But as an exception we also see some rich people with little education who are not poor. But behind this abundance of them also some of their mental education was active. Habagoba or mentally poor people can get rich through inheritance or lottery but that is not the exception rule. Again, for these exceptionally uneducated rich societies, it brings more evil than good. So by education I am not just referring to formal school-college formal education. I mean all the kind of education needed to become a real person. Formal education is not a necessary condition for this, nor is it a sufficient condition. One memorized and passed MA, but he was unable to apply that knowledge, so his education was in vain. He will continue to be a burden to the educated unemployed and society. Another has never been to school but is successfully contributing to society with life experience lessons, should I call him uneducated? So with or without formal education people can be ‘educated’ in two ways, contributing to society. This article or section needs sources or references that appear in credible, third-party publications.
The relationship between education and poverty
The title of the article suggests that 'education should be the main investment in poverty alleviation'. To analyze the significance of this proposal, we first look at the process of financial and educational development of the individual at the quantitative level. We were all children at one time. Then our physical capacity and mental capacity were compressed. We have been able to develop our body and brain to the extent that our parents have nourished and educated us. We have become educated people to the extent that our parents have provided us with formal and non-formal education. But the first and foremost obstacle in this case was our own parents' own poverty and lack of education. Uneducated and poor parents have less income and less education and it is impossible for them to provide proper support to their children. Therefore, the illiteracy and poverty of the parents is the root cause of the illiteracy and poverty of the child. We see that the children of the poor are deprived of education in most cases, their income is also low, so they remain poor.
Again, these poor boys or girls also remain poor. In this sense, illiteracy and poverty are complementary and bind generation after generation in the trap of illiteracy and poverty. This we see reflected in the myriad experiences at the family individual level. Gunnar Myrdal's cruel cycle theory of poverty is based on such realities. Policy makers in Bangladesh need to realize that if we do not break this link between poverty and illiteracy, we will remain poor and uneducated from generation to generation. So we need to pay close attention to this issue.
Getting rid of this vicious cycle is difficult but not impossible. It can happen in two ways. Sometimes one can be educated by getting out of poverty earlier and getting education later. Again, one can get out of poverty by getting educated first and earning higher income. There are examples in our society that both are possible.
Two dimensional examples in the global economy
I can tell an experience of my own life. A poor boy entered my house as a cook. My mother taught him to read and write every evening and gradually he learned to write names, read newspapers and write letters. Thus primary education was possible only in his poor condition. But he had no interest in further studies. However, with great enthusiasm he started learning cooking from my mother as a special skill. Thus one day he became a seasoned cook. Later, when she got married, she took a job as a cook in a hotel. After a long time, I suddenly got his phone call from the Middle East. She is now working as a rich chef there. This is not a miracle story, this is a very real fact. The purpose of presenting this hypothetical example of mine is to establish a great truth, that is to combine special vocational education with primary education (in this case chef!) If possible it is possible to quickly lift the poor people of a country out of poverty.
As a result of modern globalization, the free movement of people has increased, resulting in an increase in the exchange of capital and goods as well as labor. If it were more free, the truth would be that if we had a visa-free world, the population would not exist as a problem anywhere. It would have been possible to move easily from crowded countries to uninhabited ones. Just as capital was moving freely from a capital-intensive country to a labor-intensive country, so labor was moving freely from a labor-intensive country to a capital-intensive country. As a result, both benefited সুযোগ both unused capital and idle labor were given the opportunity to be used effectively. But the matter is not so simple. As a result of globalization, many structural obstacles are currently being created in the way of this spontaneous solution. Such as:
1. The free rules of labor-commodity-capital movement within the nation-state are not balanced. As freely as capital and goods can come to developing countries, labor cannot enter freely developed countries.
2. Due to the unequal development of technology, capital and knowledge, not all capitals or all people can adapt equally everywhere. For example, in the past when the automatic loom was exported to India from England or the automatic loom was imported to India, many Indian weavers lost in the competition and died. In the words of Marx, ‘The Industrial Revolution of England was founded on the bones of the Indian weaver. So the real benefits of globalization are not being distributed evenly due to the trap of unequal relations.
So what is the way to lift our surplus population out of poverty? It is true that as long as the relatively surplus population remains unemployed, it is impossible to lift them out of poverty. Thus, creating suitable jobs for them is the primary prerequisite for liberation from poverty. It can happen in two ways. One - if capital and technology can be made accessible to them or two - if capital and technology can be made accessible to them. But as I said before, if the development of capital and technology is high, then it is not possible to combine it with low labor. For that, it has become necessary to develop the low-lying labor by enabling them to use advanced technology and higher capital. For this, the main tool is the appropriate kind of education in the last judgment. We all know that employment is not possible without the combination of labor supply and labor demand, and this union will not be possible only if it is equal in quantity. Must also be consistent in terms of quality. Therefore, the quality of education and education must be suitable for employment. Otherwise we will face a strange paradox. This is especially true in unplanned market economies.
Now I am giving a recent example of the second. There are many garment owners in our country who often complain that ‘I am sitting at work but not finding suitable workers.’ They claim, ‘I am hiring a manager from Sri Lanka, bringing in a fashion designer from India, bringing in a master tailor from China. They are taking high wages and dollars from this country to foreign countries but they are not getting suitable people inside the country.
We all know education is the backbone of the nation. So we can eradicate poverty through good education Poverty is a terrible disorder. We must work together to eradicate poverty. For that, everyone should be educated in good education.

Good read! However, have you ever heard about informal education? The discovery of measurement methods for informal education has lead to something named Self-Directed Education. It is something that industrial nations still fight back, because few understand it. Quite similar to Bitcoin Cash and even Bitcoin. Yet it's said to only cost a fraction of funding and only a fraction of time investment as well. It kind of looks like being to good to be true.
