The negative consequences of lack of education are numerous. It can also impact negatively in the general well being of the person and the society. Here are some of the consequences:
1. Poor health
One common and early teaching in our primary schools is cleanliness. These teachings stay with the child all through life. How can you imagine a man in a public bus who after eating, kept on using his fingers to pull remnants from his teeth, then rubs his fingers together and repeats the same process over and over. Most surprising is the ignorance with which he did it in the public and not minding the feelings of other passengers and the likely chance of contacting some germs especially in this period of COVID19. Lack of education played out there.
2. Shorter life expectancy
The educated has a higher chance of living longer. This is because he is more informed and is capable of reading and understanding instructions. The uneducated seem to leave in the dark most often.

3. Poverty
The more educated one is, the better poised he is for better opportunities. The educated can move himself from the vicious circle of generational poverty. He is able to see himself beyond the fact that poverty runs in the their lineage. The uneducated is often static running the same business or job year over until he retires.
4. Unemployment
