Focus Girl Child Education in Rural Villages

Women with at least a basic education are much less likely to be poor. Providing girls with one extra year of schooling beyond the average can boost their eventual wages by 10 to 20 per cent.

An educated woman is 50 per cent more likely to have her children immunised against childhood diseases

Education is a right – but it is still beyond the reach of many For all these reasons, girls’ education has long been recognised as a human right. Past international commitments include addressing gender equality within the education system, the first step to eliminating all forms of discrimination against women

In many countries and communities in both the developed and the developing world, parents can take it for granted that their daughters receive a quality education. Yet in many other places around the world, providing every child with an education appears to be beyond reach. There are five main challenges we identify that make it difficult for girls to access education. These include: • the cost of education – ensuring that communities, parents and children can afford schooling; • poor school environments – ensuring that girls have access to a safe school environment; • the weak position of women in society – ensuring that society and parents value the education of girls; • conflict – ensuring that children who are excluded due to conflict have access to schooling; and • social exclusion – ensuring girls are not disadvantaged on the basis of caste, ethnicity, religion or disability. These challenges are not exhaustive, but they are recurrent themes in many countries. They constitute additional hurdles girls need to overcome to benefit from quality education.

Its very helpful for the village children to continue their education with help of welwishers.
