focuses
on (Education and Development) as perceived by those
on the
receiving end of
it.
My research is supervised by my senior and public
supervisors of
education in Egypt. Research on leadership
is defined as the influence
of one or more people on the
research-related behavior, attitudes or
intellectual capacity
of others. Seven specific features or keywords of
my
professorial research about (Education and development)
are identified and examined.
They are the conflicts of
interest in my research.

My personal
statement
A great teacher is like a great artist who uses basic tools to
transform raw materials into valuable assets of society. However, great
artists may not have the best tools or best skills because of their passion and their unique perspective of the
world.
Great teachers are not just ones who transmit information, teach
skills, and help students earn the best grades. They are those who share
their passion for knowledge and curiosity with their students, inspire
the students’ creativity, develop their critical thinking ability, and
prepare them for the complex world they will face after stepping out of
campus.
Teaching is part of the process in discovery and it also
provides an opportunity to learn, where knowledge and critical thinking
are shared by teachers with their students, and enthusiasm and creative
ideas are shared by students with their teachers. Reflecting on my own
experience as student, I am truly inspired by the good role-model of my
mentors and hope to relay this process to the younger generation and to
influence their lives through my teaching and advising.
My
undergraduate major is in teaching English in my country, Egypt. It
provides me with
fundamental pedagogical principles to engage and guide my future
teaching practice in undergrad levels. For classroom teaching, my goals
are not only to give lectures, but to motivate
students’ enthusiasm and encourage discussion and interaction. This
provides students with the skills in communication, critical
thinking and problem-solving, which are necessary training to pursue
future professional careers.
For mentoring student research, my goal is
to guide them in research lab and motivate the students to give their
best efforts. As students come in with different background and
interests, I will provide them with the freedom to explore and to think
about problems in new ways. In the mean time, I will also actively
engage in their projects and guide students’ discoveries. The value of
research advising is so rewarding because we continue generating new
ideas during the discovery process and push forward the research.
Abstract
Education is a human right, a powerful driver of development, and one
of the strongest instruments for reducing poverty and improving health,
gender equality, peace, and stability. It delivers large, consistent
returns in terms of income, and is the most important factor to ensure
equity and inclusion.
For individuals, education promotes employment, earnings, health, and poverty reduction. Globally, there is a 9% increase in hourly earnings for every extra year of schooling. For societies, it drives long-term economic growth, spurs innovation, strengthens institutions, and fosters social cohesion.
Developing
countries have made tremendous progress in getting children into the
classroom and more children worldwide are now in school. But learning is
not guaranteed, as the 2018 World Development Report (WDR) stressed.
The findings of our research revealed that Governments
should
work with parent and teacher associations, as well
as the private sector
and civil-society organizations,
to find the best and most constructive
ways to improve
the quality of education. Innovation has to be
harnessed,
and new partnerships must be forged.
All investment projects should be found all over
any country regions,
not in 4 or 5 areas and the
other areas suffer from idleness and
poverty.Education
teaches us that there
must
be a fair and compassionate
distribution of the fruits of economic
growth.
We
must reclaim the deserts to give products.
We suffer from the global warmth as it melts the snow
of the south
pole and the north pole.
We must use
alternative clean renewable energy like
the solar energy, nuclear energy
, winds energy, battery cells
energy or electric power.Learners must be
trained to hate
violence and taste the love of peace in dealing with the
school community, family community, the man of the
street, his
friends and mates.Education
teaches us that
clean environment protects us from diseases that result
This
research study discusses the linking of education
to international
development, and examines the relevant
actions of
agencies and governments in a number of
economically developing
countries. This study includes
climate change, behavioral and
experimental economics,
environmental justice, social protection and
well being.

It also, includes educational reform, multicultural and
bilingual education, education and
citizenship, teacher
training and the relation between the
state and teachers,
the global governance of education systems in
low-income
countries, the social
movements in promoting quality
education, rights-based education and
youth issues,
education and religion, and non-formal education.
I was
asked to do a research about the relation between
the skilled
university graduates and the work market
requirements of today and how
to find solutions through
giving 3 examples for 3 countries that faces and
overcame such problem.
1-The Research Vision, Mission and Objectives:
The vision is: (Our globe lives in peace, development,
prosperity and happiness). The vision of this study is to
support you in developing the
skills, knowledge and
terminology to understand and act on the
relationship
between education and development.
Education, like other
forms of investment in human
capital, can contribute to economic
development and
raise the incomes of the poor just as much as investment
in physical
capital, such as transport, communications,
power, or irrigation.
The mission is : Doing research theses
Objectives of study:
Solving problems that arise from the bad habits and
behavior of nations and individuals.
1-Refusing socio-economic, political and cultural injustice.
2-Education helps people robe out of poverty and into
prosperity.
3-Education helps to prevent disease and to use health
services well.
4-Education helps people to get high wages.
These
earnings in turn contribute to the national
economic growth.
5-Democracy and political stability: Education supports
the growth of
civil society, democracy, political stability
and citizens' rights.
6-Education can contribute to the development of
human
rights, human development, human capital
and social cohesion.
7-This study helps to reform the education system
and policy.
8-The
study aims at supporting the 58 million children
who are our of school,
and to improve learning
outcomes for those who attend
school.
2-A problem needs a solution
We
faced a problem that needs a an urgent solution.
The problem is: We,
the researching group, noticed
that our planet suffers from poverty,
injustice, violence,
countries, poor individuals, unjust distribution
for
the properties and illiterate people.
There are terrorists,
extremists and peace4 haters.
Poor planet suffers from social and economic problems.
After preliminary interviews with the senior
managers
and teachers at schools, we have identified our areas
of the
interest: organizational structure, leadership, and
communication.
Education
is a human right. And, like other human
rights, it cannot be taken for
granted.
Across the world,95 million children and 65 million
adolescents are out ofd school. More than 120 million
children do not
complete primary education.
Behind these figures
there are children and youth
being denied not only a right, but
opportunities:
a fair chance to get a decent job, to escape poverty,
to
support their families, and to develop their communities.
This year,
decision-makers will set the priorities for
global development for the
next 15 years.
They should make sure to place education high on the
list.
4- The researching questions:
How
does education affects development and solve
our global problems in the
field of peace, culture,
economy, social system and human rights .
How we make education organizations perform well
and learning outcomes high?
5-The problem solutions
Individuals, families, societies, countries and
communities must learn academically and practice
actually the roles played by education to have a clean
environment, educated society, rich and cultured
people to leave in peace and prosperity.

Education is the key to development
In today’s knowledge-driven economies, access to
quality education and the chances for development
are two sides of the
same coin. That is why we must
also set targets for secondary education,
while
improving quality and learning outcomes at all levels.
That is
what the Sustainable development goal on
education, which world leaders
will adopt this year,
aims to do.
Likewise, ensuring
that girls are not kept at home
when they reach puberty, but are allowed
to complete
education on the same footing as their male
counterparts,
is not just altruism; it is sound economics.
Communities and countries
that succeed in achieving
gender parity in education will reap
substantial benefits
relating to health, equality, and job creation.
Today’s students need
“twenty-first-century skills,”
like critical thinking, problem solving,
creativity, and
digital literacy. Learners of all ages need to become
familiar with new technologies and cope with rapidly
changing
workplaces.
Governments should
work with parent and teacher
associations, as well as the private sector
and
civil-society organizations, to find the best and most
constructive
ways to improve the quality of education.
Innovation has to be
harnessed, and new partnerships
must be forged.
The effects of Education:
1-Education and social justice development:
All investment projects should be found all over any
country regions,
not in 4 or 5 areas and the other areas
suffer from idleness and
poverty. It is unfair that some
districts enjoy the best means of
transport, technology,
high standard education and great chances of
employment but the other parts in the same country
complain of the bad
services of health, low standard of
good services of health
and education are basic rights
for every citizen. At the same time,
every citizen must
be loyal to his country that saved him all his
needs.
He must do his duty to give a hand in developing his
country.
Beside the public sector, the private sector
must be encouraged to work
in the field of development.
The developed countries must help the
developing
countries. Justice should rise from the people and not
be
dictated by the law of the governments.
All people are equal in front of law.
2-Education and economic growth:
Labour and humanity:
Education teaches us that there
must
be a fair and
compassionate distribution of the fruits of economic
growth. There must be no capitalist exploitation of
labor. There must
be no place for slavery or tyranny
in work. All people are equal. Human
life must be
valued above all material possessions.
The society should
be
based on cooperation and not
class conflict and competition. The
"progress" of the
world is not true progress at all, if it ignored
the value
of the human person
Role of Education in Development
Role of Education in Development Essay: JP or the
souls taking refuge in education, the desire for growth has no
boundaries. Above lines from ‘Ulysses’, highlight the thirst of minds
which are willing to learn. Education is not a destination, but a
journey to be cherished. It is an enriching path, not only in lives of
individuals, but also chartering histories of nations and building
strong foundations of development.
In a developing society like ours, where an entire generation stands
at crossroads of traditional values and western education, it becomes
essential to define the parameters of education. For a traditionally
rich country like ours, the roots of education can be traced back to
compilation of Vedas. British furthered the cause of education in India.
Though they introduced the study of English language to meet their
administrative needs; it opened up a new world for Indians. It provided
us with an opportunity to question our beliefs, our customs and our
knowledge and with that questioning, the spirit of education dawned.
-Education
and human rights :
We
believe that every child has a right to enroll in
education and
complete their education. We should
identify the barriers that
exclude children from learning .
We should support young people who
are out of school.
We should provide remedial
support for children with
learning difficulties.
We should remove the
financial, social, cultural and
geographical barriers
that prevent children from learning.
Every child must have health
care. It is forbidden for
children to work as long as they are at an
early age.
They must enjoy his childhood. We should support
eradicating illiteracy.
There must be education, health, care and attention
for the early
education and protection of children aged
0 to 6 years in rural
communities. We must fight illiteracy
and ignorance.
Every citizen
must know how to read, right, speak, listen
and exchange information and
knowledge. He must know
all about the world he lives in. He must know
about all
cultures and all civilized means of perfect behaviorat school;
4Education and culture injustice
Violence, discrimination and
marginalization are forms
of intolerance. Education for tolerance
should aim at
countering influences that lead to fear and exclusion of
others. We should help young to develop their independent
judgement, critical thinking and ethical reasoning.
The
diversity of religions, languages, color and cultures
is not a pretext
for a conflict, but is a treasure that
enriches us all.
The UNESCO Declaration says that tolerance is neither
indulgence nor indifference. It is the respect and the
appreciation of
our world's culture and self-expression.
Tolerance ensures the human
rights and the freedoms
of others. People are naturally diverse.
Only
tolerance can ensure the survival of mixed
communities anywhere. Don't impose your culture
on others. You mustn't interfere with others' affairs
or specialties.
Integration of education into peace building .
The
concept of peace is understood as the basis upon
which a curriculum
is constructed. The study
demonstrates that a classroom peace curriculum
can be culturally
relevant if it is guided by a clear
concept of peace.
Learners must be
trained to hate violence and taste
the love of peace in dealing with the
school community,
family community, the man of the street, his
friends
and mates.
Education teaches us the language of dialoguing
which
leads to understanding . That understanding
will lead to friendship
which will lead to tolerance,
peace and love.
In the same way, this can
happen on the standard of
not only individuals, but also, all the world
countries.
The world will come back again to live on the
Earth as
a paradise which was lost several millenniums ago.
2-Materials and Methods
In order to find out the answer to the research question
and to fulfill
both purposes of the research, we have
conducted a qualitative
research. We used types of
qualitative research methods like an in-depth interview,
This
has been done by interviewing hundreds of people
in the streets,
educated people at schools, universities
and several associations,
farmers in the fields, workers
in the factories, employees in the
companies, learners
at schools, women, young and elders everywhere.
We
have
tried to talk to representatives of different layers
of the
organizations to make our research complete.
These semi-structured interviews resulted in qualitative
data, which had
been processed and analyzed using
coding technique.
Our research used 2 methods:
One of academic character, and one
of practical
character.
1-The academic purpose is in investigating
relationship
between Education and Development.
2-The practical purpose is in giving analysis-based
recommendations about possible ways to implement
education to solve our global and cultural problems.
3-We used team work, pair work, individual work,
interviews, lectures, debates, experiencing,
observations, analysis, synthesis, assessment,
feedback and evaluation.
4-We
held workshops, modeling, training units
authentic field practice in
actual fields and we
assessed, followed and evaluated what we
recommended academically before. It took
6 months to conduct our
experiences that we
acquired from our professors in East Anglia
University, England.
Outcomes and impact –
My
PhD research mustn't be put on a library shelf to be stored like the
ones that couldn't be benefited from. My PhD a practical and relevant
research. It is a message of progress, development, promotion and the
only solution for the problems that people in charge of education ,
planners, administrators, teachers, learners, course content authors and
people of assessment all over the world.
1-My research is Significant :
My proposed research will be academically
significant. To do this
properly, I acknowledge relevant
existing scholarship and I explain
how my research will relate to it. I am able to
show how my PhD will
contribute to its field and – ideally – indicate
some of the gaps in
knowledge it will aim to fill.
2-My research is feasible / doable:
1-Each
education association must know that the education
policy is
based on using critical thinking skills not just attainment or
learning
by heart.
2-
Many training units, workshops, conferences and webinars must
be held
to train teachers to use methods of teaching that are based
on critical
thinking skills like: solving problems, doing projects, doing
tasks,
case study, making decisions, competency, mind mapping,
imagine, create
and innovate. The teacher must be just a monitor,
guide, observer and
supporter not just a lecturer or dictator.
4-
The course content must go with the critical thinking skills projects
to lead the teacher to work together in the same strategy.
Authors must write text books that match using critical thinking skills.
5-
The assessment must test the learning outcomes that have been
based on
critical thinking skills not just multiple-choice question,
Assessment
must include all exercises of Matching, filling in, true or
false,
practical assessment in listening, speaking, reading, writing,
and researching.
3-My PhD is worthwhile.:
My research deals with a very vital and important problem that causes
worry to all people all over the world. It is actual. It touches our lives
everywhere. If we solve the problems of education, all programs of
sustainable development will succeed.
People will understand other peoples and other cultures to live in
peace. Production in every field will double. All work markets will
receive skilled and trained university graduates.
4-I suggest what will become
possible.
1-Other researchers can use
or build upon my research results. My
research
will close the gaps of the missing relation between the education
policy,curriculum and assessment in academic knowledge.
2-
I am ready to do workshops, webinars,conferences, training units and
meetings to do professional development visits and meetings for the
teachers in my country with attendance or through using technology.
3-
I can use my global education sites and my blog to do professional
development meetings to all teachers all over the world with attendance
or through using my sites, emails or the university platform..
4-
If the people in charge put me in charge of implementing my project in
my country, I will enter classes with the company of teachers and senior
teachers of English and do model lessons based on using critical
thinking skills.
5-
If I was asked to do professional development anywhere all over the
world, I am ready to do the same to add my knowledge to humanity.
6- I am ready to be in touch with any university or any education association all over the world to give a hand .
7- My project is worthy and doable. It doesn't cost much money or funding. It is easy not difficult. It is very possible.
8-
Curriculum designer, course content authors, teachers of English
perfect this new system of education, learning outcomes will be carried
out perfectly. Learners will become good citizens, scientists and are
able to use critical thinking in their daily life trough solving
problems, making the right decision, self expression, good evaluators,
good analysts, creators and wonderful innovators.
5-Discussion
The purpose of the discussion is to interpret and
describe the
significance of our findings in light
what was already known about
the research
problem
being investigated and to explain any new understanding
or
insights that emerged as a result of our study of the problem.
DISCUSSION provides the explanation and interpretation
of results or
findings by comparing with the findings in
prior studies. Then, I can
say that: compared to the
previous study about (Education and Development),
I say that my research is different .
To highlight the importance of my study
and how it may
be able to contribute to and/or help fill existing gaps in
the
field of education and development, I say that the
secret of success for any development lies in education.
My research recommended the following:
Education in Social Change:
Education supports and promotes eternal values, the
capacity to welcome social change, transmission of culture,
removal of obstacles, increasing the areas of knowledge
and spreading knowledge.
Education encourages leadership role stabilizing
democratic values and increases theawareness against
social evils.It saves equality among masses, social
awakening and national development.
6-Limitations
“The empirical results reported herein should be
considered in the light of some limitations.”
1-Time constraints
Just as researchers have deadlines to turn in
their
class papers, academic researchers also must meet
the deadline
for submitting a research manuscript to
a journal. Therefore, the time
available to study a research problem and to measure change over time is
constrained by the deadline of my “assignment.”I should have Made sure I choose a
research problem that I will be able to complete well before the
assignment’s deadline. If time constraints negatively impacted my
study in any way, acknowledge this impact by mentioning a need for a
future study (e.g., a longitudinal study) to answer this research
problem.
2-Conflicts arising from cultural bias and other
personal issues
Researchers might be biased views due to
their cultural
backgrounds or perspectives of certain phenomena,
and
this can affect a study’s legitimacy.
Also, it is possible that
researchers will have biases
toward data and results that only support
their hypotheses or arguments. In order to avoid these problems, the
author(s) of a study should examine whether the way the problem was
stated and the data-gathering process were carried out appropriately. I found a difficulty , but I did it .
3-More study:
I suggest additional studies in the future as the subject
of my
research is of a national importance to my great country.
Leading a
multicultural team is very important.
7-Conclusion
In conclusion, I provide a
brief conclusion that ties each
of the findings together and provides a
narrative bridge to
the discussion section of the paper. We
reached to the
objectives we set before and the vision we dreamed of
through implementing our mission, goals and objectives.
This research enabled people to know that education is
the way to social justice development,economic growth,
human rights peace building,social change and tolerance.
