Talking Points #7

Gender and Education 

Check this out!! 

“Too many of the world’s children are out of school or receive spotty, sub-par educations. Each one of 

these children has dreams that may never be fulfilled, potential that may never be realized. By ensuring that

every child has access to quality learning, we lay the foundation for growth, transformation, innovation, 

opportunity and equality.” www.unicef.org/girlseducation 


"Educated girls are likely to marry later and have fewer children, who in turn will be more likely to survive and 

be better nourished and educated. Educated girls are more productive at home and better paid in the 

workplace, and more able to participate in social, economic and political decision making.” www.unicef.org 


MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOAL


“Promote gender equality and empower women. Target: Eliminate gender disparity in primary and 

secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015.” www.unicef.org
