Gender in Education
The report The High Cost of Not Educating Girls highlights that when girls are denied education, countries face significant economic and social losses. Educated girls are more likely to earn higher incomes, delay marriage, improve family health, and contribute to national development. Failing to educate them not only limits individual potential but also reduces overall growth and perpetuates cycles of poverty.
The decline of Basic Education
Since the Free Senior High School policy in 2016, basic education has been overlooked. With underpaid teachers, overcrowded classrooms, and a lack of resources, the foundation of learning is breaking down.
