One of the most compelling arguments for encouraging the education of girls, particularly in developing countries, is this: Education enables jobs, jobs are a source of economic growth, and economic growth is a key to development and stability.

Jobs in the public sector are increasingly dependent on technology, and more and more government services are available online in developed and developing countries. Women who have ICT skills can help develop and deliver these services, even in places where the sexes are traditionally kept separate.

As educated girls become women, they can transform local communities and act as role models for younger girls.
