Some reasons girls aren't in school today is because of price in secondary

school. 130 million girls are out of school. Many girls are out of school

because they have to work, marry, take care of younger siblings. The

number of of girls who complete secondary school is very low. Girls face

violence preventing them from going to school in over 70 different

countries.

Girls are often under pressure to drop out of school, even after they

complete primary education. Making the transition to secondary school is

very critical for girls to develop important skills and confidence.

Girls lag behind boys on completing to secondary school. Girls face

serious barriers such as cultural bias and lack of safety. Girls all around the

world have many different reasons they can't go to school. But people are

trying their best to get them all into schools.
