Remove barriers to education— Genet

Girls Empowerment Network (Genet) has asked government to solve problems girls face in an effort to continue with their education in the country.

Genet executive director Joyce Mkandawire said at the weekend during celebration of the International Day for a Girl Child that more girls drop out of school due problems ranging of distances, lack of desks, sanitation hygiene, especially when they are in menstrual periods, among others.

“We appeal to government to provide a conducive environment for a girl-child to remain in school until such time she wants to get married. Many girls fail to continue with their higher education because some of them sit on the floor. When they want to answer questions it gives them problems to stand, hence the need for desks,” said Mkandawire.

Sister Eunice Dambo, South West Division (Swed) manager said government was doing all it could to provide a better environment to a girls by building girls hostels, providing desks and building more school blocks.

“Government is committed to promoting a girl child to remain in school by putting in place various initiatives such as constructing girls hostels so that we provide good accommodation,” said Dambo.

Dambo appealed to organizations, especially those working in the education sector to help government address some of the problems a girl child faces, saying government alone could not do everything alone.

The celebrations were made possible with funds from Plan Malawi. Various schools within Blantyre City displayed activities in celebrating the day.
