What Would You Sacrifice For An Education?

Education is a major key for success and development, we can not sacrifice enough for it. It is sad that this system so vital to our society is failing on most of our continent due to a lack of support and innovation. The SA authorities must step-up promptly to resolve this crisis. In my case, we call on our authorities in the DR Congo to step-up effort to restore our system of education, once praised, to an acceptable level and break with the cycle of teaches strikes, various deficiencies, etc

I've had to send my four boys to school at great sacrifice because in order to achieve ones goals through result, you have to forego a lot of things. In an economy like Zambia's, you even sacrifice your sanity in order to educate your kids because when your life ends, they will hang on to their book knowledge. Quality education is a far fetched dream, but you have to get what comes your way. This is how come the private schools are milking us. The sacrifices outweigh the benefits, but whatelse?

I was born in Nigeria, started my university education in Ukraine and finished my Bachelors degree in the You S A. There is no amount of money you can say is too expensive for education. If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. An example of that is Africa.

For me, as perhaps other African families, most of the sacrifices for my education came not from me but instead from my [older] siblings. As children were expected to take the lion's share of household responsibilities, i wouldn't imagine my education being possible if my siblings hadn't been there to shoulder my burdens & shield me from obstacles in ways that parents, who often do not value education, would never do. As for education being worth it, only in the West would that question be asked
