The debate motion "Educating a girl is better than educating a boy" evokes thoughts of my school debate days, and I regret not having the time to attend this particular discussion.

It is often argued that when a girl is educated, the entire community benefits. Educated women play a vital role in driving economic growth, reducing poverty, and improving the livelihoods of their families. Furthermore, they are more likely to invest in their children's education, creating a cycle of progress.

However, does educating a boy hold less value? While educating a boy is equally important, it is not necessarily "better." Both genders contribute significantly to societal development. Prioritizing one over the other can lead to an imbalance. Boys also contribute to economic growth, leadership, and innovation.

Rather than emphasizing one gender's education over the other, it is essential to advocate for equal education opportunities for all children, which will ensure holistic progress for society as a whole.
