“It has been proven that
education contributes
directly to the growth of the
national income by
improving the productive
capacities of the labour
force.”
Farzaneh Roudi-Fahini & Valentine M. Moghadam
When a girl receives an
extra year of education, her
income percentage as an
adult can rise by 20%
“My dad thinks only he [her brother] should
go to school and I shouldn’t. Since I have no
mum, there’s no one to clean the house and
to wash the clothing, and Dad thinks that I
shouldn’t go to school.”
Girl, 13, Serbia
Gender Inequality:
In developing countries, the long-term
economic growth will increase by 3.7% for
every year the adult population’s average
level of schooling rises.
Education for BOTH men and
women, is a KEY strategy for
reducing poverty and influencing
economic growth for all in
developing countries.
As consistent female
education rises, fertility,
population growth and infant
and child mortality fall and
family health improves.
Every year, 10 million girls
are forced or coerced into
marriage.
Today, 65 million girls across
the world are out of school.
Did know?
Girls’ primary school
completion rates are below
50% in most poor countries.

“I really want to study. I studied up to
class five, but because of circumstances,
my family now keeps me at home. I do
household chores and farm work. My two elder
brothers studied up to class eight... but my
older sister, who is 20, hasn’t studied at all.
Nobody in my family supports my studies. If I
got free notebooks, maybe I could study. If
others also did housework, then I would have
time to study.”
- Munni, 13, Uttar Pradesh, India
In more than 100 countries
around the world, school is not
free and many parents cannot
afford the tuition or the cost of
uniforms.
Why is Education for Girls
Important?
Education has the ability to empower girls
by introducing new ways of thinking about
traditions and issues.
As a result, girls begin to challenge
traditionally held gender roles!
“In a number of countries, girls are given less food
than boys. Girls may also be given poorer quality
food than their brothers.
And because girls may receive less medical care
than boys, girls’ under-nutrition may go
undetected, leading to serious health problems...”
- Girl, 20, republic of Korea
A high school education, in combination with
financial assets and life skills, is an essential part of
girls’ empowerment, development and protection.
Due to implemented social biases
in struggling countries, parents
often choose their sons over their
daughters in the decision of who
to send to school if they cannot
afford to send all of their children.
It is a proven fact that
If we educate girls,
we can change the
world for the better.
“I would really like to go to school one
day and be like the other girls in their
school uniforms. I know if I go to school,
one day I will be able to help my family as
I will get a good job that pays well.”
-
- Sofia, 13, Tanzania
Education should
be a right,
not a privilege.
We believe that girls will respect themselves
through education and learn to respect
others. Education contributes significantly to
personal development and self worth.
“Nowhere are the risks to young
women of working in the informal
economy more apparent than in the
area of domestic service. over 100
million people – predominantly young
women and girls – are estimated to be
working in this least regulated and
protected of sectors.”
Of the world’s 130 million out-
of-school youth, 70% are girls
Did know?
Due to the poor quality of education
globally, 120 million children enrolled in schools
today, will not reach fourth grade.
This being said, 130 million children remain in
school but do not learn basic literacy and
numeracy skills.
