EDUCATION COUNTS

Because it promotes gender equality and empowers women

Education is the key to addressing gender-based inequalities and exclusion.Whlie girls and boys have the same fundamental human rights, young women generally receive less education, have fewer opportunities and enjoy less freedom than young men. Girls who live in remote rural areas or speak a minority language are often excluded from education.

Answer 1

1) Yes, education should be free and strong for every citizen who wants to study. Unfortunately, our country doesn't provide quality free education, because public institutions aren't valued enough, and the best educational centers are in privates schools. In my opinion, education has a critic role in people's lives, because school is a place where we establish contact with a lot of realities and we develop our basis to become a well-informed member of the society.

2) I expect to read some information and data about the education in the world and its importance.
