GIRL’S ILLITERACY
Educating girls offers many benefits to current and future generations. Yet, in many developing countries, girl’s illiteracy still remains a serious problem because it is often considered an obstacle to social and economic development. Over 120 million children of primary school age are not at school. The majority is girls, and Nora is one of them.
Nora can hardly read and write. The eleven-year-old girl is the youngest child in a poor family living in rural India. She left school two years ago. Her father thought it would be better for her to spend time looking after the family’s sheep and doing the housework.
Nora’s previous teacher tried to convince (убедить) her father to send her back to school, but the later refused. “This is the way it has always been, and it will not change”, her father said. “I didn’t study myself. We are poor people.” Government encouragements in the form of books, scholarships, uniforms and even meals had made no difference. A lifelong (пожизненная) fight to survive marked by poverty and ignorance (невежество) has solidified (укрепила) their views (взгляды).
The boys in the village attend school every day. They pass by Nora who walks the small road alongside her sheep. “The boys mock (дразнят) me”, she says, her big eyes full of sadness. She wished she could go with them. “When I was younger, I thought I’d study well and get a job. I really wanted to be a teacher. Now I just follow the sheep.”
Nora has little hope for her own future. Like her mother and her grandmother, she will spend her life working in the fields and around the house. She has seen the value of education, and has a different dream for her own children. “I will let my children study,” she promised. Perhaps it is not too late even for her. Many girls in India start school at a later age. With support from programs organized by the Indian government and international institutions, she may yet, one day, join the boys on the daily walk to school.
