Education in the United States is equal for both males and females. They go to the same schools, learn the same material, have the same tests, and have the same teachers. But other countries are not as fortunate. Some African women have to fight to even get a mediocre education. Males are favored because they have to support the family while the females are at home keeping house, getting food, and birthing children. Why is it that America has evolved so much and pushes for women to be educated and do the same thing that men do, but in Africa, nothing has changed? There are a few countries that allow women the same privilege as men to get a decent education. Those are also the countries that get a lot of tourism. Although there are many reason why it is not possible for all people to get an education, whether it be economic or cultural, this is something all people should strive for. All women need an education. It's a necessity to grow as a person and to take care of oneself and a family.

Education in America has evolved greatly since the nineteenth century. In 1918, following the American revolution, a law was made that there would be universal education for everyone (Chesapeake.edu, 2000). Schools were segregated. There were schools for whites, blacks, girls, boys, etc. Children learned to read, write, do arithmetic, and develop social skills. In today's society, anyone can go to any school (with the exception of boarding schools that can be all male or all female). Young people can learn about almost any subject they want to learn about including psychology, history, humanities, calculus, etc.
Although education developments in Africa have not reached the extent of America's, there has been major progress. Many countries in Africa differ in education. The Aka tribe, also known as Pygmies, from the tropical forests of the Southern Central African Republic and northern Congo, have never had formal schools. They begin to learn about hunting and gathering at infancy. At the age of 8-12 months, they learn how to use small digging sticks, throw small spears, use miniature axes, and carry small baskets. At one or two years of age, they use knives, axes, and digging sticks. At three to four years, they are able to cook a meal using fire. And at the age of ten, they are able to live alone in the forest (Worldmark Encyclopedia of Cultures and Daily Life: Volume 1 Africa, 1998). Other countries in Africa have had educational systems for quite some time.
The importance of women's education in North America used to be considered unnecessary. But today, it is extremely important for women to get the same education as men. Women's education in Africa is poor in comparison to education in America as well as Europe and Asia. There is unequal opportunity in Africa and equal opportunity in North America for women to obtain an education. Women's education is important for both maternal reasons and for individual reasons. The purpose of this paper is to explain the difference between educational opportunities women receive in African countries and North America.
Women in Africa are the most undereducated women in the world and have been barred from getting the same opportunities in education that men do. There are cultural, political, and economic barriers. Two-thirds of the world's illiterates and two-thirds of students who drop out of high school before completing four years are female (Unequal Access, Unequal Participation: Some Spatial and Socio-economic Dimensions of the Gender Gap in Education in Africa With Special Reference to Ghana, Zimbabwe and Kenya, 2004).
In North America, women get the same educational opportunities as men. Both females and males are required to stay in school until the age of sixteen. Women are able to attend the same schools, universities, and colleges that men attend. The United States implemented the "No Child Left Behind" act. This act was made in 2001 by President George W. Bush three days after taking office. He said "These reforms express my deep belief in our public schools and their mission to build the mind and character of every child, from every background, in every part of America" (ED.gov). With this act, every child gets the same education and the same opportunities no matter their class, cultural background, etc. Nowadays, there are certain states that have a higher rate of women graduating with a degree of some sort from different colleges and universities. One example would be in Minnesota where women earned fifty-seven percent of the degrees granted, including associate, bachelor, master, doctoral, and professional (USATODAY.com, 2008)
