In a fast paced society, it is still an issue in some parts of the country that not all children have access to education, especially girl children. This is because girls have been seen as humans who belong to the house, kitchen, babies’ factory or the other room as tools for sexual satisfaction or fulfillment of sexual fantasy.
Most times, girls like adolescents have had to drop out of school to get married or because they were pregnant hence couldn’t continue their studies which has led to lost dreams, hope and aspirations. Cases like this have led women to develop a low self-esteem, lack of confidence and lack of self-worth.
Educating a girl child is the right thing to do for humanity. And an educated girl child can only grow through a literate woman who has a greater chance of breaking the cycle of social vices by passing good knowledge to her daughter. Girl child education is not just limited to a western or religious education but a life orientation. Societies, communities, and countries prosper when girls are educated.
To this regard, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child both had a meeting and established Girl’s Child Education as a Human Right. These establishments have been able to make substantial progress towards gender equality in education.

It aims at developing the skill and knowledge of girls and women regardless of castes, backgrounds and race. The education includes places like schools, colleges, health education, professional, technical, and vocational education, etc.
