Education of course massively helps in the fight against poverty in African society. By providing people with knowledge & skills, education etc it empowers them to break the cycle of poverty & improve their economic prospects. It equips them with the necessary tools to participate in the workforce, create sustainable livelihoods & contribute to the development of their communities. Collaboration between governments, civil society & international organisations is essential to address the existing barriers & create an enabling environment for education to fulfil its potential in poverty reduction.
Knowing the way is not the same as walking it.
Apart from education you need a good piece of will power.
