SUMMARY RESPONSE

In the article, “Educating girls is a real lifesaver” by Victoria Brittain and Larry Elliott, the author discuses that one of the best ways to reduce poverty is the education of girls in poor countries. The young girls of poor rural communities are illiterate and have big problems because they are living deprived of the basic essences of life. These girls deal with terrible situations such as premature births, back-breaking work, etc. However, there are bigger problems because poverty and anguish are linked in a repeating pattem not only among the fust generations but also the next generations. To improve this problem, girls has to improve in conservative countries for the education of girls to happen. They can be relieved of poverty and can live better lives though education.
These days, people think that the young girls of poor rural communities do notneed education and only boys need education because people of poor countries havefeudalistic customs. However, poor countries should have an educational liability untilat least the middle school for girls, because education plays an important role in everyone’s life. Countries should give a chance to girls and all citizens to live happy lives. For example, girls can live happier lives if they look for their loving works and can join their livelihood though educational liability. Thus, educational liability is important to everyone’s lives.
Second, young girls need a social organization of protecting their children. If girls should go to school in order to be educated, girls need an organization that takes careof their sons and daughters. For example, when girls go to school, their children can play with children of about the same age and can learn social skills though teachers. Then girls can study hard in school and can feel comfortable about their children’s well-being.
Third, poor countries should remove sexual discrimination. If there is gender Discrimination in a country with a one sided gender development, it can not difficult not only the other side gender’s development but also a balanced development. When both men and women’s skills are developed, the country gains benefits. For example, it has different from man and woman’s ability. If only boy’s ability develops, the country’s development very difficult because it can demonstrate only a half ability among country’s population rate.
In conclusion, I think girls should have education in the poor countries. So a citizen contributes to a privilege of happy life. In order to have a happy life, at least until the middle school, poor girls should have compulsory education. Also, while girls go to the school, their son and daughters were talked care of teacher of a social organization. Then poor countries should remove a sexual discrimination among their feudal custom to country’s benefit.
