Ray Paul refers to research as original investigation undertaken so as to gain knowledge and understanding (as quoted in Niaz, Hussain, Baig, & Bhatti, 2008). The process involve in research includes identifying, locating, developing, assessing, analysing an idea or issue so as to gain deeper understanding or knowledge of it in a way that it will be of benefit to the society. I sincerely believe that it is through research that as human beings, we are distinct and can be differentiated from other animals or any kinds of life found on the planet earth.
Simulation can be described as a process of creating a model or a representation of a system in order to gain an understanding of that system. For my research process simulation I choose the topic “The Effects of Poverty On The Education of Young Children.” This is a topic after my heart having grew up in an environment where more than 75 % of the children live in abject poverty and schooling remains for most of those children a luxury they only enjoy or ever dream of when they are been told stories about school or when a lucky pupil, who is privileged to attend school joins them in play and they act schooling together.
I am narrowing my research topic to “Benefits of Quality Education To Poor Children” with the aim of using my findings as a foundation for advocacy and promotion of quality education for children of poverty. There is no doubting it that education provides the way out poverty for any group of people that are in living in poverty. It is also a proven fact that quality early childhood care and education offers many benefits to the child, the family, and the society.
I am sure some of you must have had some experiences with issues related with children living in poverty or might have resources on the topic, I would be grateful if you can share your experience and resources with me and I am sure this will help in my research study.

I am researching the same topic but with language acquistion..I have alot of resources I would be glad to share. This is a very important topic, our country is now experiencing a whole different culture of people experiencing poverty. We must continue to advocates to help families in poverty to not feel disperity.
