Education is one of the crucial aspects towards human development. This means, it is important in shaping human life and development. There are several types of education like formal, informal and non formal education. These types of education are normally given since childhood to adulthood and they vary from society to society.
Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world.” When the world is busy getting equipped with deadly weapons and machinery, it is very important to understand that education is the real asset that can develop an individual as well as a nation. People and leaders across the world should join hands to make education, not only a fundamental right for all, but also the guiding light, which can take mankind ahead through any phase of darkness.
It is sad that some communities still discriminate against the education of the girl child. “About 57million children around the world are not going to school. The report, Children Still Battling to go to School, finds that 95% of the 28.5 million children not getting a primary school education live in low and lower-middle income countries – 44% in sub-Saharan Africa, 19% in south and west Asia and 14% in the Arab states, UNESCO said. Girls make up 55% of the total and were often the victims of rape and other sexual violence that accompanies armed conflicts, UNESCO said.”
When girls are well-educated, not forced to marry during childhood, they will be able serve the society as writers, educators, teachers, lawyers, doctors, administrators, politicians, scientists, and much more. They can work at banks, hospitals, government offices and large businesses. They can play an important role during war.
Girls’ education is necessary for making the homes a happy place. A man’s life blossom he is blessed with well-educated women as wife and mother. Educated girls can brighten the future of their country by the good upbringing of their children. Education gives a woman freedom of thought. It broadens her outlook and makes her aware of her duties and responsibilities.
