Girls' Education


The World Bank is committed to fighting poverty and has embraced the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals as a corporate priority. It has recognized the striking body of empirical evidence that demonstrates strong benefits of girls’ education which span across a wide range of areas including maternal and child health, social stability, environmental benefits and economic growth. Girls’ education and the promotion of gender equality in education are critical to development, and policies and actions that do not address gender disparities miss critical development opportunities.
