О себе

People who have an education are significantly healthier than those who are not. Maternal health benefits hugely from education. A child who is born to an educated mother is 50 percent more likely to survive past the age of five. In the same way, every additional year of education a mother has lowers the child mortality rate by two percent. Educated mothers are twice as likely to immunize their children, and are more likely to seek prenatal care and assisted childbirth.

Another area in which health could improve with education is decreasing the cases of HIV/AIDS. If every child in the world receives a primary education, seven million cases of HIV could be avoided in the next 10 years. A secondary education lowers people’s risk of HIV by 75 percent. Such a strong correlation has been seen that education is considered a “social vaccine” for girls in avoiding HIV.

3. Education Closes the Gender Gap

For many years, women were not allowed to attend school or obtain an education. Because of this, there is a large gender gap, which only creates further problems. Women who gain an education are working toward minimizing the gap to further the abilities of women around the world. An education often prevents young girls from being married off into a potentially limiting, harmful situation. Additionally, women with an education are able to make better, informed decisions for themselves. They often wait longer to have children than those who do not have an education. This ensures that the woman is ready to have children, rather than just being pressured into it by her husband or society. Women with an education have on average three children, while uneducated women have on average seven children.

4. Education Minimizes Malnutrition

Malnutrition is a severe problem that many poor countries are facing today. Education has the potential to decrease malnutrition in these countries. According to USAID, educating girls is one of the best ways to fight hunger, even outperforming temporarily increasing a country’s food supply. Education can provide people with new, more effective farming techniques, which can increase crop production and decrease malnutrition. Additionally, studies show that if women farmers had the same education as men farmers, crop production could rise by up to 20 percent.

5. Education Provides Economic Growth

In order for a country to see steady economic growth, education must be a priority. For every year of education, a person’s average earnings increase by 10 percent. This means that the GDP could increase by one percent every year if all citizens receive a quality education.
