     The parents in the developing countries struggle to send their daughters to school. Because of many reasons, the parents usually decide not to let their daughters go to school. However, the world should be changed. It might not seem related to us so straightforward, but it does in the future. I believe, when the world begins to go to two extremes, there would be a war occurring throughout the whole world. The reason is that people not being educated might have a hard time surviving. The nation will rise and fight against nation, and the kingdom against kingdom. Thus, girl's education in the developing countries is closely related to us. 

     A proverb from Africa says: 'If we educate a boy, we educate one person. If we educate a girl, we educate a family – and a whole nation.' An educated girl could raise and make sure her kids also get the education.  What's more, it also helps to decrease the rate of giving birth at a young age where she becomes healthy enough to give birth after finishing the school. 

     According to the statistics from UNESCO, educated females tend to have fewer babies than the non-educated. It tends to lower and limit the population, so the world would not run into a situation of population explosion. Also, being educated has a significant chance to escaped from the poverty, since when the girls got educated, they have an ability to contribute to their countries economic growth. 

     Education could say to be the most powerful weapon. With education there are many possibilities. Therefore, what we should do is to stand out and support all the work on girl's education, saving the girls from severe problems and circumstances.
