Mengenal Tes TPS UTBK SNBT Lengkap Dengan Contoh Soal Dan Pembahasan

The following text is for question 53-56.

Education is often viewed as school in a traditional, formal sense. Many people believe that true learning can only take place in formal classroom setting. Others feel education occurs in many different forms and environments. They may not be a definitive answer to the question of, “What is education?” However, we can start thinking about the purpose of education.

In 1990, UNESCO launched EFA, the movement to provide quality education for all children, youth, and adults by the year of 2015. The unfortunate reality is that for many countries, larger issues come before improving the quality of education. How can we achieve the goals of EFA when the numerous countries around the world are faced with challenges that seem far too impossible to overcome? The answer lies in attempting to bridge some of the gaps that prevent developing nations to compete with developed nations. One example is that of providing greater access to technology and narrowing the ever widening digital divide. In many ways, the most basic access to technology can serve as a valuable educational tool. Individuals who are not afforded this access are at disadvantage when trying to grasp opportunities to make life better for themselves, their families, and their community.
