The education of young people is highly prioritised in many countries. However, educating adults who cannot write and read is even more important and governments should spend more money on this. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The

economy

of governments hugely depends on the literacy of their citizens. There is a debatable concept whether the

government

should allocate investments to the

education

of the young generation or the older generation who are illiterate. In the following paragraphs, I will discuss my viewpoint. On the one hand, the

government

should invest money in the

education

of the young generation, as their youthful brains can absorb a great deal of information during their childhood and adolescent years. It may increase literacy among the population, and creating more professionals will result in a more stable

economy

.

For instance

, the Philippines is one of the producers of professional nurses and other medical practitioners overseas since they have better

education

in nursing and allied health services. The continued growth of overseas Filipino worker remittances rose the country's

economy

.

Thus

, better

education

for youngsters will lead to a solid and stable financial system.

On the other hand

, the significance of illiterate adult

education

also

should not be overlooked, but the

government

should

also

provide free vocational training. For some reason, it might hopefully decrease the unemployment and crime rates among people, leading to successfully sustaining peace and order in society. After the

government

offered technical

education

and skills development among Filipinos, the Philippines' unemployment trend has significantly declined.

Hence

, allocating money to less-educated people’s

education

is

also

advisable. In conclusion, having considered all, I reiterate the

government

should invest money in the

education

of both age groups for the development of the

economy

and the welfare of citizens.
