Our girls back to school campaign is ongoing. Day 11
Every day, girls face barriers to education caused by poverty, cultural norms and practices, poor infrastructure, violence and fragility. Girls’ education goes beyond getting girls into school. It is also about ensuring that girls learn and feel safe while in school; have the opportunity to complete all levels of education acquiring the knowledge and skills to compete in the labor market.
Our today's guest is Filismina, she is going to share with us her academic experience.
Hello!
My name is Filismina Dala, I am 20 years old. I would like to share with you my academic experience.
Filismina, are you studying this year?
No.
When did you stop studying?
Well, I stopped studying in 2019.
What were the reasons that stopped you from studying?
Lack of financial possibility. I did not have enough financial resources to continue with my studies.
Would you like to go back to study next year?
Yes I want to go back to school.
How's your financial situation now? Are you sure it's gonna get better?
I believe so.
Have you been following the coronavirus prevention measures?
Yep. I make the use of mask, I wash my hands with soap and water, disinfect them with alcohol gel and I keep the social distancing of 1 meter.
A girl growing up in a poor family in sub-Saharan Africa hasless than a one-in-four chance of getting a secondary education.
We need to make much better progress:
We must work to narrow the financing gap for education;
We must support the efforts of governments in developing countries to produce plans that prioritise girls’ education. This will include providing financial help to those wanting to remove chool fees;
We must work with development partners to increase educational opportunities for girls. Civil society will be a key partner in this work.
We launched this campaign to ensure that every girl is able to learn while schools are closed and return to the classroom when schools safely reopen. Everyone can play a role in supporting girls ’education - whether you’re a teacher, parent, student, journalist, policymaker, or simply a concerned citizen.
Don't miss this opportunity to bring girls back to school. Tell us your story!
