Having noticed that not every child in this world is able to be educated because of
some factors, I would like to know what people think is the largest barrier that blocks
children’s rights to study. Therefore, the topic that interests me is “Opportunities for

Moreover, the last two questions will be investigated by their experience. (Appendix D)
They will be required to rate three greatest factors out of ten that I have researched, why
they think opportunities of studying varies in different countries and the last inquiry will
be about their own country, the reason why children in their country lack chances to study.
This survey is particularly made for locals from different countries, developed countries,
including The United States of America and The United Kingdom, and developing countries,

This survey was given to certain teachers and students in Mahidol University International
School (MUIDS), also acquaintances who have other nationalities. This research does not
only contain information from survey, but also facts and data from websites, which are
In this section, all of the results from the survey and researches I did will be
discussed and explained in detail. Research shows that “Worldwide, there are still more
than 150 million children ages 3 to 5 who do not have access to pre-primary education,
including more than 80% of children in low-income countries.” (Global Partnership for
Education, 2019), meaning that the largest group of children who do not have entry to
gap between out-of-school children in the poor and wealthy countries is very distant with
59% for the low-income countries and 6% for countries with the high income (UNESCO,
2018). This implies that children in developing countries mostly lack education, while kids
consists of staff, administration, and a student (Appendix E). For the opinion question,
everyone agrees that it will be better if every child has an opportunity to study.
Additionally, 77.3% said that people with higher degrees will be more likely to succeed,
but 22.7% argues (Appendix F). Furthermore, the result shows that the three largest
barriers to student’s opportunity to study includes the family’s financial status, funding of
the country, and gender (Appendix G). The most influencing factor to education is financial
of the family, which can be said that low-income family cannot afford for child’s learning.
For instance, anonymous 1 claimed that Ireland used to be a tuition-free country, but the
government policy changed, so families are unable to pay for the fee (Appendix H).
Funding of the country, lack of support from the government can worsen the education
system by having not enough money to improve the system. The third crucial factor is
gender. Some countries still believe that women should not study, but become a
4
housewife. Thus, gender inequality is still a large factor for studying in some areas.
Conclusion
for a number of students in diverse regions to study due to the three major factors I have
collected from the questionnaire, containing poverty, government’s support, and gender
identity. From my perspective, I totally agree that education should be a big concern for
the government as educated people are more likely to play a vital role in developing the
country.
