Impact of Education on Youth


Every child has the right to education and must be able to read and write as they grow.
This is statement that every nation in the world has in its constitution. Over the last few
decades, knowledge has become a pre-requisite of new production paradigms, and education
has become an essential factor in the modernization of production systems and the economic
behavior of individuals.
Human capital theory is based on the notion that education is an investment which produces
income in the future. Consequently, differences in productivity arising from differences in
education cause a hostile effect on the economy. Demand for education is a function of rational
human behavior. This, eventually contributes to a better, easier lifestyle.
The formidable repertoire of the contemporary era is how education effects our youth.
The progress of a nation is highly dependent upon its youth, it is the youth which makes it rise
like a shining star or fall like a dull meteoroid.
Growing illiteracy in any nation can open the door to negative activities, which includes
engagement in illegal, criminal activities such as drug abuse, gang groups, theft, rapes and
joining militia groups that have political motives.
If you have thousands of young adults who are not in school and do not have jobs, with
their families being affected by the poverty, you can imagine how vulnerable they are and how
they can be be used and manipulated to carry-out adverse activities in their community and in
the country in a broader spectrum. The unemployment and under-utilization of youth at
persistently high levels, worldwide can jeopardize social inclusion, cohesion and stability.00
Immense efforts are required to ensure education at primary, secondary and tertiary
level. This should synchronize and be respondent to the needs of the youth and the hardcore
realities in which they live, so as to adequately equip them for participation in the social and
economic life.
Scaled up efforts to ensure quality teacher training, the development of appropriate and
gender sensitive learning materials, safe educational environments, including efforts to
eliminate bullying, and delivery of education in an equitable, gender sensitive and violent free
manner are the cornerstones of providing an education for all.
People without education are like weapons without bullets. Since our birth, we begin
the learning process in one way or the other, which happens to continue throughout our lives.
Education is the medium for the youth to quench their thirst and realize their potentials and
capabilities. The youth should be armed with the best quality education and facilitated with
favorable conditions.

On attainment of their skills they will be an asset to the community and will contribute
actively to the development of the community, as they are essential elements of the society. In
this globalized and knowledge-based world, the youth should be given chance to contribute to
the society in the most optimum manner. The importance of education lies in the fact that its
insufficiency or absence may lead one to choose an improper path of life. It cannot be denied
that knowledge is power.
As a community we must adopt the principles of protectionism, knowledge, security and
most importantly moral values for our youth. If we can help our youth to become positive and
engaging members of society, this will build a stronger, safer and healthier community.
Considering the shaping of our future generations, we must look seven generations back
and seven generations ahead. It is important to respect our past in terms of how we were
raised and how we can develop previous teachings to ensure that our future is growing as well.
It is imperative to implement these values and to create a path for future generations to follow.
By engaging our youth in a well defined education system we can forcast a prosperous
nation with a spirit of self efficacy.

What is Youth?
YOUTH is best understood as a period of transition from the dependence of childhood
to adulthood’s independence. That’s why, as a category, youth is more fluid than other fixed
age-groups. Yet, age is the easiest way to define this group, particularly in relation to education
and employment, because ‘youth’ is often referred to a person between the ages of leaving
compulsory education, and finding their first job.

Education
Education is a gradual process which brings positive changes in the human life and
behavior. We can also define education as “a process of acquiring knowledge through study or
imparting the knowledge by way of instructions or some other practical procedure”.
Education also means helping people to learn how to do things and encouraging them to think
about what they learn. It is also important for educators to teach ways to find and use
information. Through education, the knowledge of society, country, and of the world is passed
on from generation to generation. In democracies, through education, children and adults are
supposed to learn how to be active and effective citizens. More specific, education helps and
guide individuals to transform from one class to other. Empowered individuals, societies,
countries by education are taking edge over individuals stand on bottom pyramid of growth.

Types of Education
Education in goes beyond what takes places within the four walls of the classroom. A child gets
education from his experiences outside the school as well as from those within on the basis of
5

these factors. There are three main types of education, namely, Formal, Informal and Non-
formal. Each of these types is briefly described below.

Formal Education
Formal education is usually in school, where a person may learn basic, academic, or
trade skills. Small children often attend a nursery or kindergarten but often formal education
begins in elementary school and continues with secondary school. Post-secondary education
(or higher education) is usually at a college or university which may grant an academic degree.
It is associated with a specific or stage and is provided under certain set of rules and
regulations. Formal education given by specially qualified teachers they are supposed to be
efficient in the art of instruction. It also observes strict discipline. The student and the teacher
both are aware of the facts and engage themselves in the process of education.

Informal Education
Informal education may be a parent teaching a child how to prepare a meal or ride a
bicycle. People can also get an informal education by reading many books from a library or
educational websites. Informal education is when you are not studying in a school and do not
use any particular learning method. In this type of education conscious efforts are not involved.
It is neither pre-planned nor deliberate. It may be learnt at some market place, hotel or at
home. Unlike formal education, informal education is not imparted by any institution such as
school or college. Informal education is not given according to any fixed time-table. There is no
set curriculum required. Informal education consists in experiences and actual living in the
family or community.
6

Non formal Education


Non-formal education includes adult basic education, adult literacy education or school
equivalency preparation. In nonformal education someone (who is not in school) can learn
literacy, other basic skills or job skills. Home education, individualized instruction (such as
programmed learning), distance learning and computer-assisted instruction are other
possibilities. Non-formal education is imparted consciously and deliberately and systematically
implemented. It should be organised for a homogeneous group. Non-form, education should be
programmed to serve the needs of the identify group. This will necessitate flexibility in design
of the curriculum and the scheme of evaluation.
7

Objectives
There are three objectives on which education impacts:
1. Unemployment
2. Poverty
3. Society
Results indicate that education significantly increases re-employment rates of
theunemployed. Particularly large impacts are found in the neighborhoods of 12 and 16
years of schooling. Evidence on the impact of formal schooling onunemployment incidence
is mixed.
Children in families with greater material resources enjoy more secure living conditions
and greater access to a range of opportunities that are often unavailable to children from
low-income families. ... Furthermore, poverty affects children's health not only when they
are young, but also later in their lives as adults.
The effect of education on society reconsidered: Positive and NegativeConsequences.
This research investigates both positive and negative effects onsociety of more people
seeking and achieving a higher educational level. It recognises
greater educational achievement as a route to higher social status for individuals.

Social Significant
Educational system has this economic as well as political significance. Education acts as
Integrative force in society by communicating value that unites different sections of society.
The family may fail to provide the child the essential knowledge of the social skills and value
of the wider society.

Review of Literature

Article No 1

Summary
This article provides a systematic literature review on the relationship between
education and criminal behavior of young people, using the Technology of Skill Formation
(Cunha & Heckman, 2007) as a theoretical framework. The nature of youth crime is
different than the nature of adult crime. We analyze studies that evaluate childhood and
adolescence interventions and studies that examine the effects between education and
criminal behavior of young people. The former suggests a link between education and youth
crime. The latter shows that education reduces the probability of criminal behavior in
adolescence and young adulthood, whereas early criminal involvement is likely to have a
negative impact on educational attainment. The underlying mechanisms of these effects are
generally not identified and can combine different components, such as incapacitation
effects, skill acquisition and peer effects

Summary 2
The value and positive impact of education on children and adolescents is often self-
evident to artists, musicians, and arts educators. Yet, the arts community is frequently
called upon to justify the expenses of arts education by providing evidence that engaging in
arts eduction and arts experiences make a meaningful, positive difference in the lives of
students. The purpose of the present study was examine the value and positive impact of
the arts by analyzing the cognitive, behavioral, and social outcomes of adolescents who
study the arts in comparison with their non-arts peers using data from the National
Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (“Add Health”). Importantly, this study was
constructed recognizing that there are certain, measurable pre-existing differences
between those adolescents who do and do not choose to study the arts in schools, and
these differences were statistically controlled in the analyses.

Article No 3
Tariq Jahan, University of Allahabad, India
Summary
In my opinion, “People without education are like weapons without bullets.” Right after
our birth, we have, in one way or the other, been imparted education. It would be no
exaggeration to think of education vis a vis people like petals of the same flower or like two
sides of the same coin, one entirely relying upon the other. Education is exceedingly
instrumental for the realization of one’s innate self, strength, natural fitness, and factual
being. Education is so necessary and essential that its insufficiency or absence may lead one
to choose improper path of life.

Article No 4
Summary
Youth and community development work has its historical roots in informal education.
Values and principle are a central and integral part of youth and community development
work and how we should practice. As practitioners of informal education, the work that we
do is about making a difference to the lives of people and their communities. At the heart of
this is the commitment to social justice and change. Central to the philosophy of youth and
community development work is an understanding and commitment to anti-oppressive
practice. This requires an understanding of ourselves, and locating and reflecting on our
own values, within a cultural and structural context of oppression and power in society.
Such an approach is embedded with a Marxist philosophy and framework. Youth and
community development practitioners should have an understanding of the operation of
power and inequality in society. They should be committed to anti-oppressive practice
values and to tackling inequalities and injustices in society. Practitioners should act as
agents of social change, seeking to empower those around them, and therefore are by their
very nature, Marxist in their values and approach. This paper argues that the role of youth
and community development practitioners, the work that they do, is essentially out of love
for humanity. This is what Marxism and socialism offers in the twenty-first century. This is
what youth and community development work has to offer today. The philosophy and
analysis was relevant in the past, it is relevant today and it will continue to be relevant in
the future.

Article 5
Around the world, young men and women are standing up for the right of all children to
have access to a good quality education. In their communities and countries, young people
are demanding better education services, more training for teachers, and more
accountability from elected leaders through targeted advocacy and monitoring. Youth
advocates for education are organized locally, nationally and globally. There are youth
advisors to education ministries, regional youth councils and global advocacy networks to
name a few. Through these coalitions, young people are making their voices heard and
playing a key role in shaping and influencing education policies.
