Education for girls is a must:

Girls have the equal rights as boys to get education. Education is the major human rights for all. Evidence shows that countries with greater gender equality are more likely to have higher economic growth. India is a developing country and it has a great impact on girl’s education and women’s rights. As country is developing the thoughts of the people in the nation is also developing. Education has made compulsory for all and girls education has also been made compulsory in most of the sates in the country. But the World Bank’s 2012 World Development Report on Gender Equality and Development drew attention to the fact that there are still 31 million girls who are out of school and nearly 4 million “missing” women annually. There is also a multiplier effect to educating girls and women. Education for women with handicaps has also improved.
Many countries will not meet the education Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015.But we will have to make it possible with proper providing of education to girls. More educated women tend to be healthier, earn more income, have fewer children, and provide better health care and education to their children. It eventually improves the well being of all individuals and can lift households out of poverty. These benefits also transmit across generations, as well as to communities at large. Remarkable progress has been made towards achieving gender equality in education. Enrollment of girls in education should be risen. Over the past three decades the ratio of girls to boys enrolled in school has risen at all levels. There are only 48 districts out of 600 districts in India prevails with a gender gap.
Improving girls educational levels has been demonstrated to have clear impacts on the health and economic future of young women, which in turn improves the prospects of their entire community. In the poorest countries of the world, 50% of girls do not attend secondary school. Yet, research shows that every extra year of school for girls increases their lifetime income by 15%.
“Improving female education, and thus the earning potential of women, improves the standard of living for their own children, as women invest more of their income in their families than men do. Yet, many barriers to education for girls remain” said Ms. Nasima Farook former principal of Darusalaam matriculation school.
Higher attendance rates of high schools and university education among women, particularly in developing countries, have helped them make inroads to professional careers with better-paying salaries and wages.
According to Mr. Mahmud Sherif, retired principal of Law College “education should be must to every single girl in the country, from education comes great knowledge, and from great knowledge comes wisdom. Our government and NGOs has taken great effort to educate girls, and it should be continued throughout unless all girls in the country gets a chance to educate themselves”
Our freedom fighters realized the importance of girls education and had put it as a prime agenda for national development. Education administrators gave high priority on reducing the infrastructure deficiency. Today 98 per cent of India’s rural population has access to primary schools within a kilometer of the habitation. And unrural and developed cities have more easier and comfortable access to primary and high schools.
Greater access to schooling is however not enough. Special measures are called for to help girls join the schools. These include setting up of girl’s toilets and providing separate girls schools at upper primary level to counter community resistance to girls studying in co-educational schools.
“Compulsory education for girls makes everyone to send their daughters to schools and get education at secondary level atleast. Not only girls in cities but also girls from villages and towns should also get the maximum benefits of getting education at school. There are some villages in the country where there is no school, girls have to travel so much to reach school and parents in that village does not finds it safer for their daughters to go so far for education and hence it ends up in not sending their daughters to school. This issue has to be taken seriously by the government.” Said Ms, Buraitha sibnas, a college student.
   The Constitution of India in Article 15(1) on right to equality provides the basic policy framework that enshrines the vision of girl’s education and the spirit in which their education is to be provided. Until 1976, education was a State subject. Since its transfer to the Concurrent List by the 42^nd Constitutional Amendment in 1976, the Central Government has played a more proactive role in the sector through several centrally sponsored schemes that had a distinct. Female education is indeed receiving a great impetus and the advance made by our country in this direction during the last decade is considerable. Even co-education has received considerable support from the public, and although orthodox parents still view the system of co-education with suspicion, a large number of families send their daughters to co- educational institutions. During the last four decades since independence, much is being done to emancipate women. Education of girls is one of the basic features of the plan. Many schools and colleges are founded for girls.
