You can become Rich by Educating Girls? See how!
India is one of the countries that still deals with the problems of illiteracy.
Especially, poor children and adults that do not have the facilities, money, and access to proper education.
While it seems like there are a lot of educational institutions, a lot of teachers and many fund raisers for education in India, but none of that is true.
Shocked?

Do you know? India has more than a billion people, but only one-third of them can read.
The toughest challenges that India is still dealing with are:
- Rapid growth of the population
- Shortage of qualified school teachers, books
- Lack of basic facilities
- Insufficient public funds to cover education costs
Moreover, a study shows that 30% of education in India is administered towards the higher education, leaving primary education behind.
Though the cost of education at a private school is much higher, many poor families did all they could to give their children the opportunity to attend private schools. The conditions at private schools are much better than at state institutions.
But the question is, “For how long will they afford the costs?”
Education Ministry of India should see what can be done to lower the costs of such schools and still provide the necessary education to the poor and needy children.
The rate of school drop-outs is higher among poor children. Can you guess the reason behind it? Yes, it’s Poverty.
Lack of financial resources forces parents to not send their children to school. Instead they force them to work for additional wages. This gives rise to Child labor.
When taking care of the family members becomes a primary matter of one’s life, education stands a little and has no chance of pursuance.
In such a populated country, educating each and every individual becomes a task for the government. Construction of quality schools becomes a need with basic facilities, books and qualified teachers.
The schools in small and poor areas are of no use if they do not have the basic things a student needs. Moreover, educating poor adults is very important. If they will be educated then they will surely understand the need and importance of education for a brighter future of their children.
Another highlight is providing education to girls.
What denies equal opportunities of children are serious social issues that have arose out of caste, class and gender differences.
The resistance to send girls to school in several parts of the country remains as genuine concerns. If the current trend still continues, the underprivileged children may never get a chance to step into an actual classroom.
Investment in girls’ education may well be the highest-return investment available in the developing world.
India’s growth relies on a well-educated and skilled workforce. Educating each and every citizen adds up to the economy and workforce of our country. Improving Education system is a critical area of investment.
In order to build India as a consumer market of global standards, it is very important that every child reaps the benefits of quality education.
