Read the two passages carefully and choose the correct answer
In developing countries, people are sometimes unaware of the importance of education, and there is economic pressure from those parents who prioritize their children’s making money in the short term over any long-term benefits of education. Recent studies on child labor and poverty have suggested that when poor families are able to provide for their basic needs, parents return their children to school. This has been found to be true, once the threshold has been breached, even if the potential economic value of the children's work has increased since their return to school. .
Other problems are that teachers are often paid less than other professions, a lack of good universities and a low acceptance rate for good universities are evident in countries with a relatively high population density.
