Dailly assignment : Women' Education in Africa and in Asia

Topic: Women' Education in Africa and in Asia

The education of girls is the surest way to reduce poverty in the world. If there is serious effort to improve the lot of billions of people deprived of the basic ingredient of a decent life, school in poor countries have to be full of girls as well as boys. The reason is evident. As clue, we discover that instead of keeping girls at home,if we let them improve their education like boys in order to have future amazing and prosperous jobs, it will be the best way to raise the economic productivity, lower the infant and maternal mortality, reduce fertility rate, and improve the environmental management. However, how many countries in Africa and in Asia think in that way? Almost six countries out of ten do not really care about that. Belonging to very poor areas, some parents still believe that women' education is not a great deal, they still think that women are made to be a good cook, mother, and doing farm work. Furthermore some minorities ethnic religious group still have a very poor conception about women' lives. They do not believe that women and men have the same equal rights. According to these people, women will not think and assume the same responsibilities as well as men do. They state that women are inferior creatures and the Islamic religion has prohibited the improvement of girls' education. Stupid as they are, two years ago in Asia, the rebels group of "Alkaida" destroyed almost one thousand school built for female students since their prophet disagreed women' education. Those Muslim may be frustrated when they see in democratic and educated countries like in the USA and other Europeans countries the role play by women. They do not understand that women have the same faculties to think and solve problems as well as men. Discovering a female president or minister who take important decisions could really border them. With women and girls being the main farmers in Africa and southern Asia, their education offers a chance to develop more efficient farming practices, improve output and raise awareness of the ecological needs of the land with tree planting, crop rotation, and decreasing malnutrition.
