Education improves girls’ life in many different ways. For example they learn more
about the world and other cultures. They learn what their rights are and fight for them.
They know that they can do many things, not only cook, clean and have children. It is
more likely that a girl who has education mArrIES later, because she knows there are
more things to do before getTING mArrIED (studying, work…). It’s more likely that she
has fewer children, and so not only has to care of FOR them BUT can do other things. It
is less likely that she becomes infected WITH HIV/AIDS, because she knows what it is
and how to prevent it. It is more likely that she will have a job because she has
education. It’s more likely that she can find medical care in a future and can vote in her
community, because she will know that other women like she??? can.
The girls’ education has had a great impact in eliminating poverty. This has happened
because the girls who receive education are better informed of their rights, they have
an education that helps them to find work and they know how to write and read. So
they can work to have the money that they need to survive.
To achieve gender equality we have to: give education to girls, so they can know they
have the same rights as boys, teaching women how to write and read, so they can
have a way to defend themselves, increasing early childhood development
interventions, increasing the women’s labour participation, So that they have more
opportunities to find a job, improving women’s access to credit, land and other
resources, So that they can work, promoting women’s political rights and participation,
and so the women know their rights. We can also do more programmes for family
support and reproductive health.
I think that the universal primary education is important because without it we can’t
write or read. Without primary education we can’t know anything about the world,
and this means that we can’t defended ourselves (we don’t know what our rights are,
we can’t find a good job…)
