Abstract
Internationally, women's education has emerged as a
significant aspect of economic growth and development.
Research in many developing countries shows the value of
women's education: educating women improves health,
expectation of life, and GNP. Furthermore, it is becoming
apparent that the gender gap-the difference between the
education levels of men and women- is the most important
factor. The larger the gap, the lower the GNP. The
conclusion is clear. Educating women is the most important
investment that can be made.
