Gust MEES's insight:
Author's research showed that the vast majority of reviews of children’s books in national newspapers, including The Times, were by women. Worth to think about it ;)

Education is linked to the age at which women marry and have children. In sub-Saharan Africa and in South and West Asia, child marriage affects one in eight girls; one in seven gives birth by the age of 17.
Providing girls with a quality education also equips them with the confidence to confront people in power and challenge the inequalities that still exist for girls and women worldwide. Consider Mariam Khalique, a teacher in Pakistan who has used education to build her female students’ confidence and to encourage them to stand up for their rights.
One of her pupils was the young education activist Malala Yousafzai, whose global advocacy work is proof of the transformative power of quality schooling.

I believe it is important for women to have just as good of an education as men because obviously we are half the population and it would greatly increase the standard of living.

We are teachers in development so we must be aware of the conditions of education around the world. There are countries in which education is not a right but a luxury, and in others, for woman there is not education. In these countries, it is important for girls to be educated in order to face men who do not respect them and their rights, and the role of teachers in those places is essential. We can take these stories as inspiration in our teaching work, because we have the duty to change what is wrong in education.
