Educating the women of today’s society for a better future – Afenya Priscilla

Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry young and more likely to lead healthy, productive lives. They earn higher incomes, participate in the decisions that most affect them, and build better futures for themselves and their families. Girls’ education strengthens economies and reduces inequality.

A well-educated woman provides the skills, knowledge, and self-assurance necessary to be a better mother, worker, and citizen. A well-educated woman will also be more productive and well-paid at work.

Educated women will choose to marry at a suitable mature age, choose a better life partner for them, and be better fathers for their children.

Educated women will establish mentally, physically, and well-nourished families that can take their place in the world and be proactive and productive in their lives and communities. 

Educated women will set higher standards for themselves and everyone dealing with them, thus leading the whole community to higher standers of its own. 

Education is a key factor to anyone’s success in life; however, educating women will nourish and lead their families and society to prosperity in the long run. 

Indeed, the return on investment in education is often higher for women than for males.

Positive growth.

Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man; space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture. But his operations taken together are so insignificant, a little chipping, baking, patching, and washing, that in an impression so grand as that of the world on the human mind, they do not vary the result.

Wind turbines standing on a grassy plain, against a blue sky.
The sun shining over a ridge leading down into the shore. In the distance, a car drives down a road.

Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
