Educating girls is a real lifesaver

EAP1 S/R
Lynette

In the article, "Educating girls is a real lifesaver" by Victoria Brittain and Larry Elliott, the authors say, the education of girls is very important to reduce the poverty. There are many young girls who are not educated and have problems such as early death, serious diseases, and they live like slaves in poor countries. Moreover, as these girls are growing, this pattern repeatedly happens dooming even the next generations. The authors state poor countries can break the cycle concerning the fate of girls by educating girls. Also, educated girls can help the development of economies when girls are in schools.

Girls who are educated can help to improve national economies for two reasons. One, girls are more intelligent, in specific part, than boys. When people educate girls for the development of a girl’s abilities, their abilities might increase the income of companies in these poor nations. For example, girls have a better language ability than boys, fluency and verbal expression. For that reason, there are many announcers and reporters in broadcasting stations, and employers hire many girls who are educated. Also, girls are good job at handling many tasks. so many companies that produce detailed stuff want female workers and teach females.

Two, educating girls has a very good affect on the next generation. In order words, when girls who are educated become mothers, they raise their children wisely. Educated girls know how important education is. They teach their children when their children do not know something or have questions about class work. For instance, many mothers tend to stuffy English more and more in Korea. They want to help their children with school work and teach their children themselves. Moreover, wise mothers teach their children how to use money. This means that children gain an understanding of the word economy, and then they can save money.

In conclusion, educating girls is an effective way to start a growing economy, and this is a root cause in order to be a strong nation.

  In the article ”Educating Girls Is a Real Lifesaver” by Victoria Brittain and Larry Elliott, the author s discuss how many people know that the schooling of girls is a certain way to help poor countries economically, and individually. Actually, there are many countries that don’t educate girls because of customs that started long time ago. Girls were excluded from education for this reason, and continue to be presently. Some people think girls schooling isn’t the way to escape from poverty. Presently, this thinking is changing to be more progressive. However, in many countries that still have conservative societies, there are many women who still don’t have access to education and they sacrifice themselves for their families and societies. The author states that education is the way to decrease baby death. In fact, that’s true and we can say that this kind of problem cause some environmental problems so we can’t neglect these changing.
  Schooling girls is vital problem because that causes many other problems such as economical, social and environmental. Also the problem is related with not only girls. First, schooling girls has some effects on economic because when girls are educated, they can get the jobs. And decreasing employee has some good influence on economy. It helps the country’s economic level, that is, the level is going up and the country will be wealth. Second, for raising social level, girls should be taken education. If they get education, the social level is going to high because people who are educated are orderly except special people. For example, the crime rate is high in low education class and its opposite in the high education class. And it’s proved by researchers, that no education cause many crimes. Third, environmental problems are caused by lower level education. If people got enough education, they can think about environment and take care of that. However people who don’t have enough education use the ground selfish. Therefore, the problems such as global warming and raising sea level happen. In conclusion, there are many serious and urgent problems because of no or low education, so girls must be received education.
