Article by Osawebmastersix
For the girls and women who lives in poverty, for them education is not only the key to a brighter future it is also a key to survival.Using education as a primary strategy, theGirls’ & Women’s Education Initiative aims to harness the potential of girls and women to learn, lead and act on their vision of change for themselves, their families, and their communities.Why gender is considered an issue in education?. Gender refers to attitudes, beliefs and values we have about being male or female.
These attitudes, beliefs and values are influenced by including family, friends, cultural background, media and the wider community. Economics, cultural bias and gender discrimination exclude girls from educational opportunities in the developing world. Yet, the educating girls are the most powerful and effective way to address global poverty–and the single best investment one can make. More than 180 national governments have taken the pledged to achieve gender equality in education by 2015–with special focus on ensuring girls’ full and equal access in achieving high quality of basic education.
Educating of girls is directly linked to positive outcomes:
• Lower infant mortality rates
• Increased eventual wages
• Increased likelihood of educating the next generation
• Improved family health
• Success in combating the spread of HIV/AIDS and other preventable diseases
• Improvement of general economic development
Despite these knowing benefits, girls are less likely send to school than boys and those girls fortunate enough to enroll are likely to drop out when transitioning from primary to secondary school. Investigation brings that girls’ education globally delivers huge returns for economic growth, political participation, women’s health, smaller and more sustainable families, and disease prevention, concludes a new report from the Council’s Center for Universal Education.
How are girls doing?: Success and Challenges
Compared with last two decades ago, more girls are entering school, completing the primary level, and pursuing secondary and tertiary education. In low-income countries alone, average enrollment rates in primary education went upwards of 80 percent, and primary completion rates are now raise to 60 percent. Remarkable complishments have been made towards in achieving gender equality at all the levels of education. Since 1990 the ratio of girls to boys enrolled in school has increased up at all levels of education.
The most significant increase in girls’ education enrollment shown in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia has been shown up at the primary education level. In countries in East Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the increase in girl’s education has been at the secondary education level while in countries in Europe and Central Asia, girls’ enrollment has raised most at the tertiary education level. Although most developing countries have made considerable progress in educing the gender gap in school enrollment, significant gender gaps remain. The girl’s education inter-linkages between gender inequalities, economic growth and poverty are the main reasons why girls’ education is a smart investment. For developing countries like India to reap these benefits fully, they need to unleash the potential of the human mind. Educating all girls, not just half of them, makes the most sense for future economic growth.
