Malala’s Story

Born in Mingora, Pakistan on July 12 1997

Jan, 2008, Malala’s town = taken over by Taliban = banned girls from going to school

In rebellion against Taliban, Malala spoke out against them for girls’ right to school = a masked gunman shooting her in her head in 2012

Once recovered from this horrible act of violence, Malala took the opportunity she had been given — she continued speaking out for female rights — especially in education

Healthy People 2030 — Education Access and Quality

Why is access to quality education important?

people + higher levels of education = more likely to live longer and healthier

Children who:

come from low income families

have disabilities

experience discrimination — bullying

Tend to struggle with number and writing skills + less likely to graduate high school or go to college

Children + no access to quality education = problems later on such as:

heart disease

diabetes

depression
