The World Bank knows it. The education of girls is the surest way to reduce poverty. The reason is simple. All the evidence
42、shows that taking girls out of the fields and homes, and putting them behind desks, raises economic 页 6 第productivity, lowers infant(婴儿) and maternal(产妇)death rates, reduces birth rates, and improves environmental management. Why, then, are 90 million primary school-age girls around the world not in
43、 school? For the same reason that when Charles Dickens was writing David Copperfield 150 years ago girls were absent from the British education system: Men in power mostly prefer it_ that way, or are not interested enough in changing the situation to commit energy and money to doing so.The countries
44、 with the poorest record for having women in positions of power or influence have the worst figures for girls education.

47、) to husband and his family, and an early death.Every year, almost 12 million children under the age of five needlessly die of infectious diseases associated with poverty. But each additional year spent by their mothers in primary school lowers the risk of premature child deaths by about 8 percent.
48、In Pakistan, an extra year of school for 1,000 girls could prevent sixty infant deaths.With women and girls being the main farmers in Africa and southern Asia, their education offers a chance to develop more efficient farming practices, improve output, and raise awareness of the ecological needs of the land with tree planting and farming. Therefore, the world community cannot afford to ignore this av
