Let’s Improve Education For Black Female Students

Education for young women is important. It is our responsibility to provide the proper resources, and information to ensure that they will get the education they need.

Today, more than 98 million adolescent girls around the world are not in school. That’s a lot of empty desks—and a lot of dreams that are being cut short. When girls get the opportunities they deserve, amazing things start to happen; poverty goes down, economies grow, families get stronger, and babies are born healthier. And the world, by all accounts, gets better.

In too many places around the world, girls are unable to reach their full potential.

Nearly 98 million adolescent girls around the world are not in school. This has a significant impact on the welfare of their families, communities, and countries.

420 million people would be lifted out of poverty by achieving a secondary education. This would cut the number of people living in poverty by more than half.

When girls are educated, they lift up their families, their communities, and their countries

Educated girls have lower rates of infant and maternal mortality and are more likely to immunize their children. They are also less likely to contract malaria and HIV.

Studies show that educated girls earn higher salaries—10 to 20 percent more for each additional year of secondary school. On average, women with secondary school education earn almost twice as much as those with no education at all.

Sending more girls to school and into the workforce can boost a whole nation’s economy.

A world where every girl can go to school would be a better world for everyone. Every single one of us can do our part to make that world a reality.
