Many girls are lost in the transition to secondary school, prematurely called to the duties of adulthood. Keeping girls in school – and reaching those who are out of school, overage or failing to learn – is vital to the realization of their rights and in the fight against child marriage. But getting adolescent girls to the classroom isn’t enough on its own. Schools must also provide a safe, secure learning environment and the right skills to prepare for life in the ‘real world’, alongside the know-how to confront vulnerable and demanding situations. Teaching life skills, financial literacy and management of the school-to-work transition (including through vocational training and career guidance) are focus areas. With the MHRD, UNICEF promotes girls’ education through targeted curricula and teacher training programmes at schools across India, covering the trajectory from preschool to secondary school.
