girls education

International Day of the Girl Child / Are we doing enough to make education safe for girls?

The systemic barriers that hinder girls’ pursuit of education have continued to remain deeply ingrained in our society.

National Girl Child Day / We must help girls realise their dreams

It is our responsibility to make society safe for girls by strengthening child protection system at the community and national levels.

Better lives for girls are coming, but we must speed up

It is understandable that we focus on the injustices faced by girls – in getting the education they need, or having their voices heard, or simply to be an adolescent without being forced into marriage and motherhood. We must repeatedly demonstrate that girls are denied their rights simply because of their gender.

Why is the education budget not larger?

On average, a teacher handles 50 students, when it should be no more than 30. Can it be denied that much more should be spent on primary education and at other stages of education?
