People are sometimes unaware of the importance of education, and
there is economic pressure from those parents who prioritize their
children's making money in the short term over any long-term benefits
of education. Recent studies on child labor and poverty have suggested,
however, that when poor families reach a certain economic threshold
where families are able to provide for their basic needs, parents
return their children to school. This has been found to be true,
once the threshold has been breached, even if the potential economic
value of the children's work has increased since their return
to school. Teachers are often paid less than other similar professions.
A lack of good universities, and a low acceptance rate for
good universities is evident in countries with a relatively
high population density. In some countries there are uniform,
overstructured, inflexible centralized programs from a central
agency that regulates all aspects of education. Due to globalization,
increased pressure on students in curricular activities
Removal of a certain percentage of students for improvisation
of academics (usually practised in schools, after 10th grade).
