Emmanuel Katto | Poverty in Africa

 A country is marked as developed, developing and underdeveloped based on many factors. Country’s per capita income, GDP or NFIA (Net Factor Income from Abroad) and export and import are the crucial factors that actually measures this. Although Africa is very rich in natural resources and minerals such as gold, diamond and uranium etc. exist here.

Now the question arises despite having so much of resources why Africa is poor? The answer is due to corruption, lack of management system, people here do not have access to healthcare and of course education. These are some of the parameters of development which Africa lacks basically. Since Africa is exporting to UK, South Africa and many other countries as well but it is poor just because of above listed reasons.

Due to several reason said above large population of the countries are falling on below poverty line, the vast population of the country just live on $2 on daily basis. Talking about the poverty in Uganda even it is worse here. Only about 21.4% of the population is living below national poverty line. Several factors are common in Uganda as well like, limited access to education, corruption, political instability and lack of management etc. causing these nations to be poor.

Emmanuel Katto who is well-known entrepreneur and a business leader, his views also expressed positive thoughts and optimistic view in eradicating poverty from Uganda. He also expresses for the eradication of poverty from other counties of Africa as well. Emmanuel Katto is himself was and still working in order to create more business ideas in order to generate employment for the workforce in Uganda and other countries as well.

Despite all the concerns of poverty efforts are being made by the government of Uganda to address the poverty of the country along with some international non-profit organisations, working together in order to reduce poverty and to promote sustainable development across the country.

Emmanuel Katto Views On Education Of Africa.

Education system of India is diverse and varies from countries and regions. Many challenges are there faced by the African countries. The access to education is quite limited. There is absence of quality education in Africa. Children especially girls have limited access to education, perhaps it is because of varied factors such as poverty, early marriage and the attitude of culture towards education.

There are other factors such as lack of quality education in many schools in Africa. Many of the schools lacks the basic resources as textbooks, qualified teachers and teaching materials. Even in some African countries the curriculum is not adequate or relevant for the students which can create a barrier in the academic development of the children and may also act as a barrier in their workforce or countrymen process.

Despite there are numerous challenges in the education in Africa, we can see some positive things happening in the life of the children. Many African countries have made progress in providing the quality education to the children. Girl children are also being encouraged now for education, teacher are being trained and even we can see education reforms are being run to provide quality education and even the infrastructure is getting developed.

Although much work need to done for making the education much better and children friendly. Uganda a country in Africa is also facing challenges in education but the government lay emphasis on education as a basic human rights. Today we can see that Uganda hold a very innovative approach in education. The primary schools here are effective making children in a number literate and the infrastructure is also playing a key role in motivating children to attend schools. Since Uganda’s economy is not developed as compared to west and other developed nations but the government of Uganda is making all the effort to provide the education to children, so that they can become wise countrymen.

Emmanuel Katto views were also laid in the emphasis of the education as a basic right of children. Emmanuel Katto who is a well-known entrepreneur and business leader and a professional engineer from Uganda. Overall we can see that the condition of education system of Africa is not that developed but in modern time things are a little settled and can see improvements is coming all the way in education in Africa and its countries like Uganda.
