Introduction:
Poverty has always been a bane in several societies. It has led to deprivation of basic necessities including food and shelter. In present times education is also an extremely important factor that leads to improvement in the way of life and standard of living of an individual as education helps access several opportunities in growing economies. In case of poverty hindering access to education it only results in continuation of deprivation and it is only education that can break this vicious circle. So it is important that even the poor are given equal access to education and are not deprived of the multiple opportunities that education presents to it (Stuart Palmer, 2006).
a) Argument: Children living in poverty do not have equal access to education as the levels of awareness; access to technology and other resources is limited.

c) Importance of education
Education plays an extremely important role in the process of developing an individual and his personality. It is extremely important for the development of an economy and betterment of the society. It becomes essential that education be made accessible to all of the people in the society irrespective of their social status and other problems that they face (Golman, 1998). Only then it would be possible to make education accessible to all children. Education can help improve the global presence of a nation and help develop the economy effectively. It is also possible for the nation to reduce poverty in the country. So education and awareness as well as literacy are crucial. They help improve other sectors in the economy including health and governance.So education can help and support the overall development of the nation (Stuart Palmer, 2006).
Role of money in education:
Money is an important element in all economies. It helps improve the economy and the education system as well (Ehrich and Monton, 2007). Education is an essential element of growth of a student and it is essential that they are offered with several options in order to make education more accessible. Based on this evaluation, appropriate grouping becomes a necessity and a part of complete education since it helps students learn skills that they can implement practically in lives beyond the classroom. This is essential for survival in the present world of heavy competition. It helps understand life and situations better in the presence of a group along with others and help in better coping. Money helps in activities like research, infrastructure and development of technology used in education. Education firms or institutions are of two types which include profit oriented private institutes and non profit educational institutes. The level of awareness about education is greatly impacted by the levels of income that an individual has. It is crucial that free education and compulsory education be propagated by the government in order to improve the levels of literacy in the nation. This can be established by the fact that the rates of literacy are as high as 70% in underdeveloped nations, close to 50% in developing nations and as low as 10% in highly developed nations (Stuart Palmer, 2006).
Present conditions:
The present conditions of the education system are improving to a great extent (Ehrich and Monton, 2007). Teaching and SSO support not being the same in each class is extremely essential because it results in catering to the needs of each of the students and helping them develop skills which are essential for them to be independent in spite of their monetary backgrounds (Policy brief, 2008). It is essential that they are given the required support and individual attention and hence for each of the classes and development courses they need to be segregated for those students who have not been able to get full time education due to monetary constraints. They are to be availed with multiple options including vocational training and night schools. All of these are being expanded in order to spread educational access even to the poorest people in the society (Caldwell, 2004).
Role of technology and government:
Technology and government have assisted in spreading education and reaching out to the masses in order to spread education. Online education and free education has been helping in this process. Developmental skills can help learn skills in association with one's career and aspirations thus making it more interesting as well as helping an individual be more competitive. In this way survival becomes easier for them as they do not have to learn these skills late when they actually enter the corporate world, where survival is a struggle and technology has been helping in this process. Developmental skills can help make survival easier. It can result in appropriate development of practical knowledge and skills. It also results in change and development which is beneficial for the purpose of survival in case of the corporate world and it is important that the focus be on creation of a holistic education system which is inclusive of all of the classes of the society (Caldwell, 2004).
Need for awareness:
It is important that the focus be on spreading of awareness. Only then it is possible that there be better access to education for all of the classes of people (Dubrin, 2003). Developmental courses are courses that can help students studying in universities to develop certain skills that can make them more competitive and capable as well as ready for the future job markets. It helps them learn skills including soft skills, logic and reasoning as well as critical thinking and other skills which can help them grow and build up a personality (Ehrich and Monton, 2007).
Where the children is asked to discuss their problems and concerns and also providing them opportunities to ask questions and make decisions and creating a feel of confidence and making them feel comfortable and also capable while making the transition to school. Many families who have given birth to a first child or who are busy in their work life also think about child care service providers who train well mentally and physically for children helping them in transition in school.
Conclusion:
To conclude, in present times poor children do not have equal access to education. The environmental factors that the school is going to address in regard to improving inclusivity is the amount of connectivity and networking as well as comfort levels that exist among the students. Developmental skills are necessary since the present world is extremely competitive. Universities that are very famous all over the world for the studies they offer and the varied courses availability in them are popular mainly due to developmental courses. It is a new trend which is been followed in the education industry that is developmental courses which is very convenient and useful for the students but undoubtedly formal education is essential.
