How important is Education to the Girl Child!

In the lead up to the International Day of the Girl Child, UNICEF will be publishing a series of stories highlighting innovations for girls’ education around the globe. Today, 11 October, is set aside as the International Day of the Girl Child.

We believe that when girls get the education they deserve, they can contribute to the wellbeing of their communities in amazing ways.

Smart and creative use of technology is one route to overcoming gender barriers to girls’ learning and achievement. But innovation in partnerships, policies, resource utilization, community mobilisation , and most of all, the engagement of girls and young people themselves, can be important catalyzing forces.

Bangladesh - Mitali Rai, 15 talks about her experiences at a Child Friendly Space (CFS) at her home in Kalinogor, Kamarkhola. She is partially deaf and is embarrassed to go to school, but she she feels comfortable in the CFS.

UNICEF and its partners in all regions of the world are leading the way in innovative projects to accelerate progress for girls, particularly the most marginalized.  Countries are exploring new education delivery systems and infrastructures, transforming curriculum to promote gender-sensitive pedagogy, and finding new ways to engage both traditional and non-traditional partners.
