Education of girls in Cambodia

The girl's rate of entering school is low and the withdrawal rate is high in Cambodia. According to the data of UNESCO, the rate of girl's entering school is 47% in the elementary school, 40% in the junior high school, and 32% in the high school. As they become the upper-grade, it lowers more. Moreover, the gap of entering school between boys and girls is widen. This is because there are cultural contexts such as economical circumstances of their home and giving priority to education of boys. I think education of girls brings them new abilitis which make their lives better. Besides, it will give girls confidence and pride through their learning, and they will become positive for the future.
