The speakers said every child has right to formal education and access to lifelong learning. If girls are denied their right to education, they are also denied the chance to develop skills that will help them take charge in their homes, careers and above all countries. Present Govt is very keen to invest more in girl’s education and has become successful in this field. However, still many girls are forced to leave school while others never have the opportunity to go to school.
