1. “When you educate a boy,
you educate an individual.
When you educate a
girl, you educate a
community”
African Proverb

2. India is amongst the few
developing nations that has a
defined national policy for
compulsory primary education
Right To Education (RTE)
India has one of the largest
networks of government and
private schools
Despite this over 50% girl children
do not have direct access to
primary education

3. Why is she denied?
- Boys given priority on resources
- Education considered irrelevant
- Forced to drop out to share
domestic workload
- Not enough women teachers
- Belief in age old philosophies
(“Raising girls is like watering
someone else’s lawn”)

4. Why is it important?
Lack of education results in many
larger issues:
- Early marriage
- Low mortality
- Lower employment opportunities
- Lower self esteem
- Low contribution to society and
nation

5. What can we do to fulfill
the dreams she carries in
her eyes?
