Girls’ education and gender equality are the part of broader and holistic efforts made by the World Bank Group. It promotes girls’ education and ensures that girls do not suffer unreasonably in poor and vulnerable family due to lack of support and care. It also works towards advancing the skills and creating job opportunities for young girls and women. Girls have equal rights to education; though education system may vary in curriculum, administration and personnel, but it has a strong influence on the students they serve.

Fortunately in the present times, girls are gradually overcoming every social as well as psychological barrier. In fact, the government and NGOs are taking several steps in promoting girl’s education and gender equality. The latest campaign ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ is one such example. It is also important that girls themselves come forward and make a contribution towards the progress of girl’s education.
