Education in Asia
Can everyone get a education?
Malala's story
Malala always liked to have a education but the Taliban didn't like it. She lived in a nice place in Pakistan before the Taliban started blowing up schools. Malala is know for wanting an education for girls and standing up to the Taliban for it even though she was shot in the face by them. A quote is,"extremists have shown what frightens them most is a girl with a book." What this means is that they are afraid of something harmless.
The Statistic's
- 72 Million kids who can go to primary school doesn't go.
- 39 Million girls aren't in school or 54% of people who don't go to school.
- Some kids don't get to school because it's dangerous and girls aren't allowed to in Islamic culture.
- The UN and Malala are speaking and convincing to make a change. Also the UN made goals for things like equality for education.
Is it fair not all children can go to school?
I think it's not because it is a right to be able to learn and do what you want to do with that knowledge. If everybody had a education the world could be a better place.
How Malala story made me feel.
At first I thought what the Taliban was unfair to malala because she did nothing wrong.
What I can do to help.
I can probably donate to a organization to help get teachers for all students. Another thing I can do is help speak like how Malala did.
