I see financial incapability as the only limitation parents consider when sending their children to school, especially in this recent times that parents has come to understand how important it is to send their wards to schools. As long as every parent has not being limited in money, education has become one major achievement parents wants to achieve for their children with all struggles and female children are not left out in it which is why I can say that the ratio of male and female educator pursuit is 50/50.
Education in my country Nigeria 🇳🇬 had become one thing that has gotten more attention in recent times, that even parents who are not educated strive to make sure they give to their children both male and female in equal strength. I can even say that most parents in this new era are investing so much money on their children, knowing how important being educated has become. Many even believe the girl child pays attention to parents when they are aging therefore must be situated with education to have greater future for later support.
Although, many other sectors in my country may be lacking improvement, but the government are investing so much money in building schools, but the problem is how expensive some of these schools has become. And most of all are how the private approved schools by the government are way too expensive causing the gap between the government owned and private to be way too overboard. This makes me keep remembering a saying that says “If You think education is expensive, try ignorance”.
My parents never in any way had any thought 💭 towards why sending a girl child to school since they will be married and ends up having children 👧 and ends up in the kitchen. They made sure everyone of us went to school to their own capacity. And even the men among us finished up and ended into businesses of all kinds, while the girls are the ones that maintained white collar jobs going through many years now. Its indeed should be an ignorance if any society should discriminate between genders in the area of an important factor like education. Both boys and girls should have equal rights and access to education. And we can all see how the girl child has contributed so much to their immediate families through education and even to the society at large..
The analysis in my country has continued to show how women are contributing so much in the growth of the economy in their areas of assigned jobs and all these are because of how they went to school, became educated and became so productive in their lives. This has proved and shown that the long old thoughts from our fore-father that women will marry and end up in the kitchen is long gone.
However, being educated is one basic and important aspect of life which helps all of us to be able to believe in ourselves even if we want to learn other skills after schools 🏫. Although many are seeing education and going to school as time wasting since many will finish and still go into vocational learning for skills since jobs are becoming limited especially to the youths.
