"Girls' education is the closest thing we have to a silver bullet to help solve some of the world's most difficult problems," says social entrepreneur Safeena Husain. In a visionary talk, she shares her plan to enroll a staggering 1.6 million girls in school over the next five years — combining advanced analytics with door-to-door community engagement to create new educational pathways for girls in India. (This ambitious plan is part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

I still can’t believe that females over there can’t go to school. One of them could be the smartest person ever, and could solve a majority of the world problems.
@Super Saber I mean in developed countries where women go to school, they still aren’t that smart…
@eating sugar no papa well Marie Curie , Esther duflo(this year Nobel Prize winner) , Donna Strickland , Elinor Ostrom ,Francis Arnold …. This shows that if given chance and with right mindset , women can succeed and manage things.
Women in the West have been “liberated” for half a century. And STILL they have not moved the needle, not having invented or created a single breakthrough that I can remember that has moved humanity by leaps and bounds, let alone inches. The one I thought that accomplished this was Elizabeth Holmes at Theranos. But I could only hang my head when she was determined to be a fraud, scamming people out of billions and endangering many lives, with her blood testing fraud.
Oh, and women create much more problems than they actually solve.
Women lack original thinking, which is required to solve problems. They just emulate herd behaviour. And I posit, that they only go to school to trade makeup tips with other girls, to socialize. It’s more of a hobby for them, rather than a serious endeavour. In the West they take useless leftist-indoctrination courses, accruing massive student debt, then sleep with rich married men on Seeking Arrangement as slutty “sugar babies” cuz they can’t find a chump of a husband to wife them up and take on their debts. Yay for feminism and empowerment!
Generational learning is a great term.
Respect!
Education is indeed long term investation but it’ll be worth it. Fighting!`
good luck..
Really relevant talk and great work being done for girl education. Education for all women in India should be a priority since it has so many direct and indirect development benefits not only in closing the literacy gender gap but also the help balance the gender gap in corporates. Women should also not be stopped by families in case they wish to pursue education in male dominated subjects like mechanical engineering etc. I have seen during my stint in corporates that we were not able to hire many women in certain jobs because there was simply not many women in college with those degrees. So definitely education is the first step for closing the gender gap.
Maybe women are no so interested in STEM subjects and prefer humanities. You know there COULD be biological differences between men and women.
@Truthful Chap Awfully misleading name you have there.
@Batra Chian I was being deliberately sarcastic. Tell me are you an advocate of the Frankfurt School?

Educating women is the first step to destroying a civilization. Keep them ignorance, for ignorance is bliss.

Why not collect data for every while we are maintaining the data. Some of it can be actionable later on if not now
