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. Without education people do not get good jobs and their income is low. Education builds confidence in a person. Educated people can rely on their knowledge and skills without education there is a lack of confidence which is a big obstacle in getting good jobs.
I won't say anything about education, education should be for everyone and i am in support of whosoever wants to prioritize getting a good standard education for himself/herself.
If we look at numbers, for every season we have thousands of graduates who are coming out from a particular course studied, how many of them will be carried by companies according to their field. Cumulatively we will be having thousands of students multiplied by each year that passes and are yet to work professionally on their field instead they rely on outside sources not related to what they got from being educated. Education is never the key factor to omit poverty, many things are there to consider not just good education.
