Education is one of the most crucial aspects of human survival, growth and development in developing and developed nations. Although educational opportunities have improved significantly in many developing countries over the past three decades, much, much more must be done. The education of girls impacts every aspect of the growth of a nation, yet too many girls are still subject to under education, early marriage or forced labor well before adulthood–denying their chances for independent and a sustainable quality of life. Please REVIEW this short video, discuss the key points and, post your comments (if you like).

Professor and class,

I have just completed 8 chapters of this week’s Web text and listened to the lecture. Reading about things like how a fifth grader cannot read any better than a first grader is obviously not a good thing. Things like teachers not showing up for work, or children saying that they are bored going to school.

In my opinion, a parent should never allow a kid to make certain decisions, such as whether or not to stay in school.

I am glad that I got to the 8th chapter in the Web Text. It reads that in Taiwan, it is mandatory that children complete 9 years of school. Less chance of having illiterate people. It gave us a reminder that this can lower the mortality rate.

In my opinion, the government can have an influence in what education decisions a parent makes when a child is under 18. Which now leads me into the video I just watched, which states that 70% of people in poverty are women and girls.

I think that it is horrible that a girl of say 16, is forced to marry a guy who is say 30.

In my opinion, someone who is still a kid should not have a kid of her own. Obviously some governments do not agree with that opinion.

I also think that a guy who is 30 years old has no business being with a girl who is still a girl.
