in #life7 years ago

Especially girls from poor families cannot go to school. Worldwide, 130 million girls are affected. Boys, on the other hand, have twice as much chance of completing elementary school.

Among the countries with the lowest educational opportunities are Niger, Southern Sudan, Afghanistan and Chad.

Most of these girls are restricted not because of money but culture. It is high time we do away with these wicked tradition and culture.
Thanks for sharing

My my, such large number. It's just so unfortunate that people are still ignorant of the importance of educating the girl child. We still have much orientation and education to conduct on our general populace.
