In the world, years and years ago, there was a time that education of a girl child was a taboo. A lot of people opposed the motion of Girl Education, arguing that the proper sphere of girls was the home and therefore, that money spent on Girls Education was wasted. This gave birth to the statement that "Girls/Women Education ends in the kitchen".
Nowadays, the importance of Girl Education have become so visible that a lot of people have realised that it is essential. The role of women in the development of the country and the world as a whole can no longer be looked down on.
Women have risen to a standard where they posses a lot of influence in the society and contribute extensively to its growth and this was achieved through education.
_Education gives women freedom of thoughts and broadens her outlook and makes her aware of her duties and responsibility.
_Education empowers a girl to become economically independent.
_Empowering of girls and women is necessary to fight against the problem of gender inequality.
Women are the bedrock of the society, the home makers and nation builders. It is high time we stop the marginalization of women. Girls/Women Education does not end in the kitchen, it's transmitted, it passes from mother to child.
We should all as a nation join hands to train our Girls and empower our Women, cause its rightfully said" Train a Man and train an individual, but Train a Woman and train the whole Nation".
