PRIMARY EDUCATION AND GENDER EQUALITY | страница 13

Why are girls less likely to have a school life?
The education improve the girls´ life in getting girls into quality
school environments helping them stay there, giving girls a good
start in early childhood, helping women and girls avoid HIV/AIDS,
improving maternal health, increasing access to water and
sanitation, promoting child protection, find employment later in
life, seek medical care, marry at a later age, vote in her
community and gain access to credit.
The girls´ education is haS great impact in eliminating poverty
because IDA integrates education into national economic
strategies, and creates educations systems that enable children
to become productive citizens, and because the World Bank has
put education at the forefront of its mission to fight poverty, and
is one of the biggest external financiers of education in the
developing world.
We achieve gender equality by educating girls, increasing literacy
rates among women, early childhood development interventions
and increasing women’s labor force participation and
strengthening labor policies affecting women, improving
women´s access to credit, land and others resources, promoting
women´s political rights and participations and expanding
reproductive health programs and family support policies.
