In the issues of the government rendering assistance to every child to ensure they get good education, I think the government should provide free education and make the environment a good learning environment then the parents can take care of the rest.
If the government could provide free education that would be great but it would be very expensive and very difficult to implement in 3rd world countries.
I think they don't need to provide free education, what the government needs to do is create jobs and income for people. They should care more about the lives of their people, should find ways to improve the economy by creating more jobs. If we can only do that, there will certainly be no children lacking education because every parent is aware that knowledge is the only way for their children to have a chance to escape poverty.
The thing is that we are not even supposed to remind the government to provide free education to the people because that is their responsibility as the government of the people for the people and by the people (democracy).
I think providing free education will not stop the government to create more employment opportunities and improve the economy of the country because they need not to borrow loans to do that when they can improve the economy and attract foreign investors to the country and more job opportunities will be available for their citizens to get employment. The problem is they have decided to steal the money meant for economic development to their personal structures, they now have what it takes to take care of their fourth generation while their citizens are dying in poverty, this is a typical example of what is going on in my country Nigeria.
