• When 10% more girls go to school, a country's GDP can increase by 3%.1

• Educated girls participate more actively in civic life.1

• Educated mothers are more than 2x as likely to send their children to school.2

• Closing the gender gap in education would substantially increase national economic growth and well-being. 3

• Universal secondary education for girls in sub-Saharan Africa alone could save as many as 1.8 million lives annually. 4
