The education of girls is of utmost importance in today's society. It is a fundamental human right and a tool for reducing poverty and promoting economic growth. However, not all parents in many countries appreciate the importance of investing in their daughters' education. Many hold the belief that their daughters are solely meant to be homemakers and should not focus on their careers. But there are numerous reasons why it is crucial for parents to support their daughters' education to become career women.


First, promoting the education of girls leads to a more equitable and inclusive society. Girls should not be denied the opportunities that boys have in education and career choices. When girls are educated and exposed to various career options, they can contribute to society's advancement and challenge gender stereotypes and discrimination. Educated women also earn more than their uneducated counterparts, leading to economic growth and poverty reduction.


Second, educated girls and women are more likely to be healthy and to have better health outcomes. Educated women are equipped to make informed decisions concerning their health, childbearing, and family planning, promoting reproductive health, and reducing maternal and infant mortality rates.


Third, an educated daughter can break the cycle of poverty in their families and communities. Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry early and more likely to participate in the labor force, leading to increased earnings and opportunities. As educated women save and invest their earnings, families and communities can experience improved living standards and social mobility.


Fourth, girls who receive an education are less likely to become victims of gender-based violence, abuse, and exploitation. Educated girls and women are empowered to stand up for their rights, refuse marriages that they do not want, and resist social norms that discriminate against them. Thus, an educated girl is more likely to have a voice and influence on cultural practices that affect their welfare.


Finally, parents who invest in their daughters' education can benefit from the positive social impact of their daughter's educational attainment. Parents, especially mothers, who failed to obtain an education, see their daughters as a source of pride and satisfaction. Educated daughters not only help to change societal attitudes towards women but also inspire other girls to achieve their dreams.

In conclusion, the education of girls is fundamental for the growth and development of any society. Empowering girls with education creates a virtuous cycle and increases social and economic gains. For girls to attain their full potential and become career women, their parents must provide them with the necessary encouragement, support, and resources to succeed. Investing in a girl's education is investing in the future of a family, community, and nation.

THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS. THE AFRICAN CASE .

 THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS : THE AFRICAN CASE  Brookings Institute reports that 70 percent of Sub-Saharan Africa’s population is under 30, representing about 743 million of 1,061 billion people in this region. These statistics represent a robust workforce, also known as the “cheetah generation”, a new and angry generation of young African graduates and professionals who can take up leadership roles from communities to the national level, and look at African issues and problems from a different perspective. We, the next generation of African leaders, should exhibit three characteristics. Firstly, we must be able to lead ourselves. Leadership is a way of being, not a position or job title. To become great leaders, we must develop a sense of who we are, what we can do, and where we are going. Coupled with this, we must embrace failure, build resilience, develop emotional mastery, and be lifelong learners.  Secondly, we must understand how to lead others. To be able to e...

THE SEARCH FOR NEVER ENDING HAPPINESSES

 THE SEARCH FOR NEVER ENDING HAPPINESS.  There is no sky-God in heaven who is going to protect you from the volatility of the lived human experience, but there is a deep-seated serenity, tranquility, and equanimity that you can access at the center of yourself and all things. There is no knight in shining armor or bewitching goddess who is going to swoop in and carry you away into a fairy tale happy ending, but there is the personal work you can do with and in yourself that will enable you to cultivate healthy, fulfilling and satisfying relationships.  There is no special enlightened leader or teacher or sacred book that can finally show you the highest truth that sets you free, but you are capable of utilizing your own critical thinking, direct experience, and personal investigation to discover and embrace ultimate reality.  There is no self-help guru or program that will magically solve your chronic unhappiness, disharmony, and self-sabotaging mindsets and choices,...
