#18. "In developing countries, poor families may not be able to afford to send all their children to school and boys may come first when deciding which child to keep in education. Certainly when primary schooling is made free, girls’ attendance rises. But it is not just a question of school fees, there are items such as uniforms and school meal costs too – support in these areas can help get girls into schooling and keep them there through secondary education. Some countries have also raised school attendance of girls through programmes that give a financial reward to families for sending girls to school. Prolonged schooling also cuts down on early marriage. And education is the gift that keeps on giving – mothers who have had schooling place higher value on education for their own daughters."
