115 million children around the world have never set foot inside a school
58 million children currently not in school are girls
Two-thirds of illiterate adults are women
An unschooled girl is more likely to:
Be poor
Marry early
Die in childbirth
Lose a child to sickness or disease
Have many births closely spaced
Have children who are chronically ill or malnourished
In some places, girls are not allowed to attend school because there are not separate bathroom facilities for them to use
Some girls as young as 9 or 10 are forced to marry and drop out of school
With more populations being affected by HIV/AIDS, girls often assume the role of the dying or deceased mother
My opinions
What are the main reasons why many children do not go to school?
They’re from the poorest families and suffered from poverty.
They have to feed and support their families.
They cannot afford to buy uniforms or books, to pay for transport if they lived far from the school.
Why is schooling for girls so important?
Girls are human as well as boys.
All human beings have the right for education.
We have a ridiculous tradition as girls don’t have to go school, but it’s a discrimination.
WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE FUCK TRADITION.
