Countries that value education and make the necessary investments in it also tend to have more control over their affairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd there is more. Educating girls and women is even more impactful. Research spanning over three decades shows that for a society to make progress, it is even more important to educate women and girls because of the positive impact it has on the development of children and their health and those of the family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo why does it seem like the importance of education for a society such as ours is so difficult for some to understand? Why do we seem reluctant to the idea of providing good quality basic education for all our people? Why can\u2019t we see that the neglect of education for our people has huge long-term consequences which have become obvious already as our country is engulfed in security challenges across its length and breadth?<\/p>\n<p>We persuade parents to vaccinate their children against infectious diseases because vaccination is a good thing. Why don\u2019t we do the same for education? Parents should be persuaded, even forced, to send their children to school so they, at least, acquire basic education. That basic education should be free and compulsory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said if there are severe consequences for parents who refuse to send their children to school, the number of out-of-school children will reduce and that the country\u2019s per capita income \u201cwould not have stagnated for 40 years\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former vice-president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has stated that parents should be forced to send their children to school.
