The purpose of this action plan is to ensure that girls around the nation are provided with better education opportunities. And ensure that education is available, accessible, acceptable and adaptable as stated in the 4a framework. In 2005 the world missed the first target agreed within the framework for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): to eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education by that year. (ANON, 2017) With this plan of action, we can turn that around.
In order to make education available, there must first be schools available to all girls. To do so, we must first reach out and find out where there is a need for schools. This will be done by using the Office of overseas school's website, Google,

We will also work with local grassroots organizations to get bus routes where accessible. Groups will also be set up if we have students in the same neighborhoods so they can commute to school together, possibly even getting parents involved in walking the children to school and rotating days.
Making schooling for girls acceptable is the next challenge. The first step in this is setting a good stage. Volunteers will set up groups for parents and caregivers to come listen to speakers on the benefits and long-term opportunities that come along with letting their girls attend school. The challenge here will be getting people to come. Volunteers will set out snack and beverages to try and entice people to join as well as small door prizes.
Lastly, families must be adaptable to see any change and keep the girls in school. In the dictionary, adaptable means able to adjust oneself readily to different conditions. This means that families have to be willing to change, and accept that things will be different. By sending girls to school, they are going to become more independent and fill different roles than the past. If we follow all of the above steps, we can fulfill this. We just have to get the families to see that this is a positive change. We will also have to form schools around the neighborhoods they are in and the backgrounds of the children as schools have to be adaptable to all students. Some
I teach first grade at Lowe Elementary School; my class is made up of twenty-four very diverse seven year-olds; they come from all over the city of Louisville, from a variety of socio-economic situations. Each student brings a unique personality to our classroom community, and they all work hard to become “smarter and smarter” and to “go to college”. Thirteen students are boys and eleven are girls. Of these twenty-four students, three of them are English Language Learners. Additionally, eight students receive tier two interventions and two receive tier three interventions in reading. In math, five students are tier two and four are tier three. I also teach one student who receives ECE services for a developmental delay. Within my class there is a wide achievement gap.
For all of the progress that the movement to increase the education of girls around the world has made in the last few decades, there was an important piece missing that could have increased the international awareness of the movement: A face
“Girls should not be going to school” said Mullah Ghulamullah in the autobiography, I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai (94). People all around Malala believed that girls’ should not be educated, and that they should stay home and learn how to cook for their families. Malala refused to give up fighting against the banning of education for females. Malala’s story displays that everyone has the ability to speak up for what they believe in. The title, I am Malala, depicts how females have the power to change the world. Every child should be educated, no matter their gender. Learning can create new opportunities, allow people to grow, and have an impact wherever they are, just as it did for Malala. Anyone can create change, no matter how
My proposed solution to this is that school counselors and city mayors can be a major source of inspiration to children who are affected by a challenge like this. They can advise them on how to build themselves with determination to make a difference.
Barack Obama once said “The future must not belong to those who bully women. It must be shaped by girls who go to school and those who stand for a world where our daughters can live their dreams just like our sons.” This message is not only relevant in the United States. In fact, it has even stronger meaning in Africa. In Sub-Saharan Africa, more than 28 million girls are out of school (Camfed). It is important to raise awareness of the lack of education for girls in Africa because educated women are healthier, educated women can raise a country’s gross domestic product, and educated women can advocate for themselves.
We believe parents and educators need to be more proactive and get involved with children’s education. Our concept is to encourage the parents as well as the schools to seek outreach programs such as ours to further invest in our children's education and future. As well as help fund schools….
As part of my grade 10 civics course I am examining the issue of Women’s rights. I find importance in this issue because I believe every girl should be able to reach their full potential. Ever since I first learned about you I have been extremely inspired by your story. I couldn’t believe at just 12 years old you became an activist for education and Women’s rights. I remember being deeply saddened when I heard you had been shot simply because you believed in education for all. I was relieved that you survived your injury and that it lead to the empowering creation of the Malala fund.
Western countries like us North Americans take education for granted and we don’t realize how fortunate we are. We complain about attending classes and completing our homework, while there are many girls fighting for our privilege. Are you aware that there are still many countries where girls don’t have access to education? `Education is an essential human right that developing countries such as India, Pakistan,Afghanistan were intended to have access to already! This resembles as one breathes, eats, and drinks. I fully agree with the UNESCO research, which demonstrates that education transforms lives. Unfortunately, this transformation seems to be unacceptable for many in developing countries. They desire women to be dependent, enslaved, and
“A girl on planet earth has a one in four chance of being born into poverty.” (Martin Ravalion and Shaohua Chen) Girls who are born into poverty are less likely to go to school, but they can rise above that and go to school if they had the opportunity. They don’t have the opportunity due to many reasons whether the family can’t afford it so they send their son, or they are not allowed to be educated. The enrollment gap between boys and girls who are enrolled in school is abound. Many intrepid people including Malala Yousafzai and Suma are working to get girls an education and/or out of poverty. If girls had the chance to be educated they would make a big impact on their countries by playing a role in the economy, reduce the amount of girls
through planned and organized community partnerships schools and families can improve the experience of the urban learner in school which could could results in positive gains in academic performance. Although schools are not directly responsible for solving student’s problems outside of its walls they can
education for girls in the area. The program also gives the girls a chance to learn leadership skills
Reaching out to parents/residents and making them feeling like their voices matter to the community will help guide them to help their young people and school flourish.
A unique foundation and an extraordinary movement—The Girl Effect focuses on adolescent girls: the agents of change. Studies show that putting girls through school will help decrease the percentage of child brides and teen pregnancy. Nike’s Girl Effect strongly upholds the belief that in doing this; it can resolve issues such as HIV and AIDS and help break the cycle of poverty. The biggest goal for our charity is to reverse the damage that not having an education or the needs to survive creates. A key to destroying one of the issues is by educating teens so that they can not only better themselves, but their cultures, families, and communities. The girl effect believes that when a girl living in poverty has the chance to reach her full potential, she isn’t the only one who escapes the circumstances she was born
American philosopher John Dewey once said, “Education is not preparation for life: education is life itself.” His statement, though decades old, perfectly embodies the value of education in modern society. In the modern world, virtually everything is dependant on having a college degree. Even so, many women and girls around the world are unable to receive proper education, let alone job opportunities. In certain regions, Pakistan especially, the flaws in the education system stem from a gender biased culture. The prejudice mentality that the Pakistani people have limits the culture as a whole, but more specifically the poor, and often manipulated, women. Your aid in that territory to improve the welfare of the people combating the institutionalized sexism that women face would be greatly appreciated by people who are actively seeking to solve the problem but do not have the funds to do so.
The percentage of girls who complete primary school in sub-Saharan Africa is among one of the lowest in the world, compared to the higher percentages of girls completing primary school in areas such as New Zealand. For most girls in Africa, very few of them continue into Secondary and Tertiary schools, let alone persist in their education past the age of eleven. According to UIS data, in sub-Saharan Africa, 9.5 million girls will never set foot in a classroom compared to 5 million boys. Some of those children might start their education at a later age, but many more will remain entirely un-educated, especially females.
