What would be the first thing that you would do if you want to change the world in a better way? One of the possible answer could be to support girls to get an education because there are a million girls around the world who don’t have the opportunity to get an education. And many of them are Muslim girls who live in poor Muslim countries like Nepal, Pakistan, and Afganistan. According to Laura, it is estimated by UNICEF that " about 110 million of children are now out of the school, and more than 60% of those children are girls (Laura 1). In those countries, girls should get an education because it would most likely to improve the economy of the country, help to decrease health problems like STD/HIV and women will be more likely to be independent …show more content…
And males have total power over how society should function as well as their livelihood of their families. Therefore, those countries are more likely to have poor economies because there are no educated women who can help the economy. According to Brookfield "If girls in low-income countries were to learn basic reading skills, 171 million people would be lifted out of poverty" (Brookfield 7) Also, Brookfield states that " Providing girls one extra year of education beyond the average boosts eventual wages by 10-20 percent" (Brookfield 6). It illustrate that educated women has a big impact on income of the family because they will help to their family to get out of poverty by getting an education and by boosting payment wages. Moreover, according to Turner " Verose said once we educate our girls in future they might become a teacher, a doctor or business woman" (Lucas 1). That 's why girls should attend to school and get an education as much as they can because one day they might become a doctor or teacher who will pay tax to the government and increase the income of her family. Laxmi a girl who is from Nepal is a great example to Brookfield and Verose information. Laxmi is a girl who was born in a poor family. Her Parents didn 't let her go to school because of lack of money. Then Laxmi attended to a special free program which called the Gate program. Her friends and she convinced her parents to let her go …show more content…
Also, they will have more to say when it comes to distribute of family income. Moreover, they will send their daughters to school and make opportunity for them to get an education. For example, Verose an educated woman who is from Haiti leading her village 's children and her own daughter to get an education. She states that "Education is only going to make my life better. My parents refused to send me to school when I was young because they needed my help with farming, and I missed out on my dream … Now that I am beginning to read and write, I am realizing my potential as a leader and want to ensure that no children in our village have to miss out on their dreams." (Lucas 1) This was the example of an educated woman who realized the power of an education. And that 's why she is educating her own daughter including other villagers ' kids. Furthermore, education will help girls to protect themselves and to not believe to strange persons. For example, Sonu Sarki a girl from Nepal had almost lost her life twice because of lack of education. Sonu never been to school instead of studying she worked as child laborer at the age of 9. When she turned 18 a man tricked her to into agreeing to marry her and they left to India to do wedding ceremony. When they came to the border of India a man who promised to marry her told her that
In the article titled “Pashtana’s Lesson” by Beth Murphy, she records the story of a 15 year-old Afghani girl who has a fiery passion for acquiring knowledge and pursuing education, but old traditions oppress her devotion to study. Pashtana is in the 7th grade at an all girls school which has been rejected by the elders in their community, asked to be torn down, or turned into an all boys school. Her mother strongly enforces studies on her children because she never went to school herself and she doesn’t want her children to end up blind to things in the world like her. In order to support her mother and three younger siblings financially, Pashtana is being forced by her uncle and father to marry her first cousin which is not uncommon, the
Imagine a world with no education. It is hard not to imagine a society where no knowledge, no future, or no life. If the world had no education; how will we build our sources? How will life know what is right and what is wrong? How would society know about the stages of life from past, present, and future? Just think how empty the world would be without education. Malala Yousafzai, an activist of woman and children's right of education known for her courageous acts to improve education globally. Malala Yousafzai has positively benefitted modern society by speaking up for her rights of education and by inspiring others to join her to create equality for all.
Malala Yousafzai is a young Pakistani girl who is an education activist. Education is the most important thing adults can offer children. One day the children of this generation are going to be the teachers, doctors, and politicians. Children everywhere should receive the benefit of being educated. In the compelling novel I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai, she opens the minds of others about about the importance of education within all cultures. The historical background is admissible, and the professional reviews clarify all the importance and power this book holds.
In Pakistan, roughly 5 million children are out of school and without an education. This is equivalent to 1 in 12 of the world's out-of-school children. About two-thirds of these children are girls. These are the worries of a powerful young girl named Malala Yousafzai who is trying to prevent lack of education for children in places like Pakistan all around the world. Please give your full attention to Malala Yousafzai as she gives her speech on “The State of Educational Opportunity around the Globe”.
It is well known to most people that many children and even adults around the world do not have access to any form of education, leaving many illiterate and uneducated. However, many like Malala Yousafzai want to put an end to this and give everyone, especially girls, the opportunity to get an education. I chose to read this book because education is something many of us may take for granted and I wanted a better understanding of how girls from around the world learn in different ways. In her memoir I Am Malala, Yousafzai mentions repeatedly her love for learning and going to school even if she has to do it in secret because where she is from, this being Swat, Pakistan, many do not think women should be allowed to learn. Her father
...een faced with the challenge on whether to improve the general income of the household or to support the education of their children. We should not turn blind to the situation being witnessed by children who are born in poverty. In as much as their mothers try as hard to provide them with basic needs, they a times become victims of lack of funds making them fail to further their education. We all agree to one fact that women have to work. This is because it is their right to do so. Similarly, working makes the women believe that indeed they have a role to play in nation building. To get things right, we need to support our females, this is because it is the only way that we can make them feel like part of us. The society may have given its support to the wrong horse in the past, but the world has been fair enough to provide us with another opportunity to make amends
A well-educated parent can have a better understanding of raising children and molding them for their adult life. For instance, an educated parent will probably make higher wages, therefore are able to invest more money in their child’s welfare. (Kaushal, 2014). Parents that raise their children in an impoverished environment most likely won’t have the money which, could decrease their chances of procuring the resources needed for their child’s education. Kaushal, (2014) stated, “Children learn from the attitudes and behaviors of their parents, which are often informed by knowledge, acquired through education” (Introduction, para. 6). For that reason, learning patterns of the poor social class could be passed down from one generation to the next which may make it more difficult for kids to gain a proper knowledge. This could make it extremely challenging for children to achieve a better lifestyle for their future families as
“If you stand for equality, than you’re a feminist. Sorry to tell you.” This quote from Emma Watson calls out the misconceptions around feminism. Emma Watson has used her fame from Harry Potter to speak out about feminist issues. She stresses the importance of equal rights among all genders. Despite the negative connotation associated with feminism in today’s society, men are able to, and should be proud to be a feminist. Feminism is a debate of gender equality, not masculinity.
Education gives people the skills they need to help move themselves out of a life of poverty and into one of prosperity. Not only does it help people prosper, but with education comes improved health. With the proper education, people are more able to prevent disease and use the health services at their disposal effectively. As well as a greater knowledge of health and how to take care of your body, education helps people earn more money and creates an economic growth. It is shown that in many Third World countries, with each extra year of schooling, people earn ten percent higher wages. The higher wages, in turn, contribute to a national economic growth. Education supports the growth of civil society, democracy, and political stability, permitting people to know about their rights and obtain the skills and awareness needed to use the rights. This is an important article in the argument because it shows the benefits of a substantial education, which many of the Third World countries are
Being unable to the finance themselves, children must divert most of their attention, not on studies, but to the most bare essentials such as living, leading them to a life of destitution. This continues to go through family lines as the cycle of lack of education traps generations to come. The basic rights to a great education should not at all be restricted and based off of luck but be available for all who choose to. By providing resources for poor communities from taxing the rich more and the destitute less, it creates the goal of equality easier. Students, because of circumstances, are not able to reach their full potential and therefore becomes a wasted life that could have been revolutional. Evidently, society must stop taking education for granted and provide for the countless amounts of dedicated students working everyday tirelessly to hopefully pave better paths for their future
Rather, there are different characteristics of gender inequality. The World Bank claims that an estimated “130 million girls globally” are not in school, and that developing countries show less percentages of gender parity being achieved at primary and secondary level education than developed countries however, developed countries still haven’t achieved gender parity because there is still gender bias in secondary and higher level education, (2017). Access to education and the development of girls and women’s potential, can be the difference between life and death. Ensuring the right of quality education, for all, is number four on the ‘Sustainable Development Goals’ set up by the United Nations (2016). And so, without ensuring gender equity in education, the world’s health and development goals cannot be reached. Educating girls and ensuring that that they receive education not only empowers them, but makes them more productive and thus wind up making a huge contribution to
Despite progress in recent years girls still suffer a lot of disadvantage in education systems. While gender equality in education remains a crucial issue for many countries women still account for two-thirds of the world’s illiterate population. Estimated thirty one million girls of primary school age and thirty four million girls of lower secondary school age were not enrolled in school in 2011. (http://www.UNICEF.org/education/bege-61657.html) Girls’ education is both an intrinsic right and a critical lever to reaching other development objectives says UNICEF. Girls’ education is important to the achievement of quality learning. Girls who have been educated are likely to marry later and to have smaller and healthier families. Educated women can recognize the importance of health care and know how to seek it for themselves and their children. Education helps girls and women to know their rights and to gain confidence to claim them. However, women’s literacy rates are significantly lower than men’s in most developing countries. UNICEF recognizes the opportunities provided through girls’ education and it supports governments in the reduction of gender discrimination through interventions at national, local and community levels aimed to empower girls. As we look towards 2015 and beyond, UNICEF continues to take a more transformative approach to girls’ educ...

In the contemporary society, education is a foundational human right. It is essentially an enabling right that creates various avenues for the exercise of other basic human rights. Once it is guaranteed, it facilitates the fulfillment of other freedoms and rights more particularly attached to children. Equally, lack of education provision endangers all fundamental rights associate with the welfare of human beings. Consequently, the role of education and in particular girl child education as a promoter of nation states welfare cannot be overemphasized. As various scholars asserts, the challenges and problems faced by the African girl child, to enjoy her right to education are multifaceted. Such difficulties include sexual abuse, child labor, discrimination, early pregnancies, violence and poverty, culture and religious practices (Julia 219). Across the developing world, millions of young girls lack proper access to basic education. In the contemporary society, this crisis, which is particularly critical in remote and poor region of sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia have fascinated increased public attention. However, almost all global nation states have assured their commitment in addressing various girl child challenges and allowed a declaration to enable each young girl and boy receive education by the year 2015 (Herz and Sperling 17). This target was firmly established and approved in the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. However, this study will focus on girls’ education in Africa and its impacts to their livelihood.
Indigent schools are on such a strict budget that they cannot afford up to date books, which causes children to not have the most up to date education. When children are not getting a good education, the chances of breaking the cycle of poverty are slim to none. Without a proper education, it is very difficult to continue to the next level of schooling. This tends to be the reason that even though some students graduate, they do not acquire a college degree. The more superior a child’s elementary, middle, and high school teaching they are able to receive, the better chances for the child to accelerate to a higher education. The more terrible the primary and secondary education a child apprehends, the more laborious it would be for that child to go to
