Education can prevent young girls from getting unwanted pregnancy and in most cases know when a man abuse their right without having to be subjected to ridicule in marriage.
Girls who attend primary and secondary schools are more likely to have a say in their choice of life partner and girls who attend tertiary institutions are also able to use more effective methods of family planning and therefore have fewer and healthier babies.
An educated girl and woman would have learnt about HIV/AIDS and know different ways to protect herself from the disease and many others.

At this point, I urge all children to face their education squarely which is paramount for them at their tender age.
I implore the parents to take care of their girl-child and make sure they are educated no matter how hard it is, since there are Government schools for their children to attend.
