CHILD MARRIAGE - Child marriage is a major cause of them dropping out. Boys can be affected but most victims of child marriage are girls. It is estimated that 15 million girls are married before they turn 18. After their wedding they leave the education system and, armed with a few educational skills, they and their families are more likely to live in poverty.
GENDER BIAS - Most parents think that it is useless to have their children be educated. Therefore, most don't ever go to school or drop out after grade 5. This is because it would be considered a waste of money.
Adolescents who are menstruating don't go to school because of a lack of privacy or not having any sanitary disposal facilities and water shortages. They are also worried about sexual force from boys in mixed toilets. The charity Water Aid reported that just 45% of schools in the least developed and low-income countries had adequate sanitation facilities. A school sanitation programme in Bangladesh saw an 11% rise in girls' enrolment.
In some countries, women are not allowed to attend school. But we should try to change this. We should educate women because its benefits nations as a whole, such as increasing the share of women with a secondary education by 1 percent boosts annual income growth by 0.3 percent per person, according to the World Bank. It helps reduce child marriage as girls are more focused on school. Educated women tend to have fewer babies this means less overpopulation and healthier babies. Educated women are more likely to not support terrorism or acts of violence.
