I think it's better if we should discuss the ones who have access to education and not the ones who are living in the streets. Those who are living in the streets sure don't have any chance of getting out of poverty since their brains aren't developed well, they are malnourished and underweight. Let's talk about the ones who are able to go to school but still end up being poor.

I think laziness and stupidity are directly connected to poverty. But I also think that laziness and stupidity are connected. It all boils down to laziness. Everyone who has a working brain has the capacity to learn. It's just that, others don't give it a time. We all have access to books and the majority of those considered poor even have a basic Smartphone. I don't know about your country but there are websites that you can freely surf on the web. These free sites usually become a source of information to those who do not have money to load up their phones. There's tons of tutorials on Facebook on how to connect to the Internet without needing to top up your phone or it would at least cost really little. Others spend tons of time scrolling their Facebook's news feed while others are looking up ways to connect to the Internet for free. The Internet is full of tutorials that you can't even decide which one to pick. Everything that you're going to learn by spending thousands of money by going to college can be learned through Youtube.

On the other hand, there are still people who decide to waste their times on mundane things. It's so ironic that those who need to do the most in life are doing the bare minimum. Once you got well-informed by things, you're not stupid anymore and when you're well-informed/well-read, guess what? You can make money from that. My past teachers always say "There's no hardworking person that's hungry." or the opposite "There's no hungry person that's hardworking."
