Poverty is actually associated with many reasons but you have to try to change your position yourself for this, education is very important, nothing can be done without adequate education.
i would not say that nothing can be done without education
yes education is important and we should aim to be educated to the best of our possibilities, but this does not mean that there is no more hope if you can't get educated there are still many ways to learn skills there are so many more things we can develop within ourselves even without going to school properly
Education obtain from school is not the most important when we consider the development of one's life, self education is another education that is very powerful and also can change one for good. Their are some people who have gotten education from school but it is not reflecting in their life, but when one interested and focuses on self education it has more to do even with the skill you found yourself doing , also how to relate with people. Eduction obtained from school is not the only that can eliminate poverty, self education also have the power to eliminate poverty too. Poverty is mainly in the mentality, when one has the real mentality of making money or wealth it is positive for the person to get to any length for life.
