Poor never really placed education as one of their top priorities. More importance was given to basic needs such as food and shelter. As it turns out, food and shelter are both categorized under basic needs, which is needed for immediate survival, while education on the other hand, is an essential need necessary for future survival. Education is in the bottom list. In short, the poorer the family, the more importance is given to basic needs and education gets neglected in the process.
One of the key elements is that the government gave more priority to the quantity of admission, rather than to the quality of education. The government paid little attention to other factors such as facilities and teacher salaries, and only concentrated on getting classrooms filled and overcrowded. In most cases, management institutes had to take shifts in order to accommodate such large volumes of students. Therefore, cutting down on lessons and subjects taken per day. Add to that, teachers often have to manage with obsolete equipment because of inadequate funding. Since their salaries are low, only a handful prefer the teaching profession, thus increasing the ratio between pupil and teacher. As a result, he/she has to handle a bigger volume of students making the quality of education degraded.
In short, this just a snapshot of what is being carried away in our education society. There is an urgency to reform the situation, as the degradation will continue happening.
