Why is education an issue in LEDC countries?
Universal primary education is guaranteed as a human right, but
• Schools may not be available, particularly in isolated rural areas.
•Secondary education may involve fees, or payment for equipment such as books and uniforms.
• Children may need to work to help support their families.

Why do girls suffer from a lack of education?
Males tend to be given priority for education because
• Traditionally males provide for the family, therefore are worth the expense of education to improve employment opportunities.
• Women marry into new families, therefore any investment is lost.
•Women traditionally take the role of nurturing children and looking after the home- no education is needed for this!
•In some areas of the World education for women is not seen as a priority- Taliban, Afghanistan.
