EDUCATION (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry young and more likely to lead healthy, productive lives. They earn higher incomes, participate in the decisions that most affect them, and build better futures for themselves and their families. Girls’ education strengthens economies and reduces inequality.

Detailed explanation-2: -Several research studies show that poverty, child marriage, disinterest in schooling, distantly located schools and lack of safety in schools and on the way to schools are some of the leading reasons why girls, especially from these marginalised communities, are out of school.

Detailed explanation-3: -Girl’s education is essential for the future of the country because women are the first teachers of their children. Uneducated women cannot contribute to family management and fail to take care of children. This is not only the responsibility of the government but also the responsibility of the people around us.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rape, trafficking, sexual exploitation, child labour and the beggary are some of the forms of violence perpetrated on the girl child. In the absence of gender disaggregated data on abuse, exploitation and violence against girl children, it is difficult to assess the magnitude of the problem.
