Dare to educate Afghan girls

TED
Shabana Basij-Rasikh: Dare to educate Afghan girls
Summary
In Afghanistan, there were many children who can't go to school, especially for girls, it seems to remind them today also. The girl had to dress as s boy to go to school with risks. Among those situations, some families are prizing that their daughters go to school. Especially, if a father recognizes it, his daughter will grasp at the opportunity to study. Studying and learning are important because it always remains with you if you will lose everything you own in your life or your money will be stolen or you will be forced to leave your home during a war. Children are our treasure in the world. All of them should have the opportunity to go to school safely. Their possibly and dreams should grow big.
◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1. If you are an Afghan parent, would you follow the Tailban’s rule or risk your life just to send your daughters in school?
If I am an Afghan parent, I'll risk my life just to send my daughter to school to create better future.
2. What is your opinion about the equality of education between man and woman?
In my opinion, the equality of education between man and woman is to have the same opportunity.
However, Japan is perceived as a male-dominated society.
3. How important is it for you to get an education? Elaborate your answer.
I think that for spending better life, doing good work efficiently and contributing to society, it is important for me to get an education.
4. Why do you think about Japanese eduation? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Japanese education did not help me, when I started to work. I have to read many books and study English once more. 
The advantage is all children can receive their compulsory education for 12 years. There are many high schools and colleges also in Japan.
The disadvantage is that many classes don't have time to discuss. Students only listen to the teacher. Just their tests are evaluated. 
5. How should we study English to master it efficiently? Please elaborate your answer.
We should study English every day, Especially, we have to speak more. Don't hesitate to make mistakes and having fun things to learn it.
