In developing countries, 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 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.
Other problems are that teachers are often paid less than other professions; a lack of good
universities and a low acceptance rate for good universities are evident in countries with a relatively high population density. Trang 3

provide all 600,000 primary and high schools with computer equipment, learning materials and internet
access within 10 years. Volunteer groups are working to give more individuals opportunity to receive
