摘要
Education is a key to success for every member of the society. And we emphasize this principle by saying that education changes the world as anything can be transformed with education. In many countries, especially African societies, people do focus on education for male child leaving behind the girl. But if we look at the recent updates on population of our countries, it shows that females are in higher population than males. Therefore, if this larger population does not get education it means that the whole of our society is uneducated. When we educate a male child, we have educated an individual, but if we educate a girl, the whole nation or society is educated. In this respect, the world today needs to focus much on the girl child more especially on how she can be assisted to get the quality education she deserves as this vulnerable group is facing a lot of obstacles and challenges on their way to success. With the problems that the girl child is facing, several players have to come up with necessary measures to uplift and promote the girls socially, psychologically, physically as well as economically in their education. As we are promoting the girl child in education, we are preparing and sustaining brighter future for a better Malawi. © 2021
