The benefits and challenges of educating girls in The Pacific
When you educate a woman you educate a nation, however, in many parts of the Pacific it's still difficult to access a good education, because of distance, or the cost, or even family obligations.
And when parents have to choose whether their sons or daughters will go to school, girls are still missing out.
Fortunately, that is changing as more young parents are graduating from high school and university and bringing their knowledge back to their villages and communities.
This week Sistas Let's Talk speaks to business and training leader Susil Nelson-Kongoi, education analyst Anne Pakoa and university students Leah Lowonbu and Yuri Hosei about the importance and challenges of keeping girls in school.
This week's episode of Sistas, Let's Talk is a repeat of the show broadcast on 7th November 2024
