THE GOAL
An effective and equitable educational system for poor students, the goal should be to create an
inclusive and supportive learning environment that caters to the unique needs and circumstances of
each student. This can be achieved by increasing funding for education, providing access to educational
infrastructure, implementing teacher training programs, and promoting government policies that
support education for all. At the micro-level, the educational system should prioritize student-centered
and personalized learning approaches, offer a flexible curriculum, and provide counseling services and
extracurricular activities that promote overall student development. The ultimate goal of this
educational system is to break the cycle of poverty by providing underprivileged communities with the
necessary resources and support to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally, and to prepare
them for a successful and fulfilling future.
Considering these factors, education systems can be designed to provide underprivileged communities
with a high-quality education that breaks the cycle of poverty and prepares them for success in their
personal and professional lives.

2. Special Support for Disadvantaged Students: Students from disadvantaged backgrounds may
face additional challenges that affect their learning outcomes. An effective education system for
the poor should provide additional support services such as counseling, mentoring, tutoring, and
after-school programs to address these challenges.

needs and styles, and therefore personalized learning approaches should be implemented to
cater to their unique needs. This includes providing individualized support, small group
instruction, and alternative learning opportunities.

students from disadvantaged backgrounds. This involves incorporating real-world experiences,
