“Educate a boy, and you educate an individual. Educate a girl, and you educate a community.”

“If you teach a boy, you educate an individual; but if you teach a girl, you educate a community.”

“Educate a woman and you educate her family. Educate a girl and you change the future.”

“You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation.”

“Once you educate the boys, they tend to leave the villages and go search for work in the cities, but the girls stay home, become leaders in the community, and pass on what they’ve learned. If you really want to change a culture, to empower women, improve basic hygiene and health care, and fight high rates of infant mortality, the answer is to educate girls.”

“For Dewey, the Great Community was the basic fact of history. The individual and the soul were invalid concepts, man was truly man, not as an individual, but as after Aristotle, in society and supremely in the State. Thus, for Dewey, true education mean not the development of the individual in terms of learning, but his socialization. Progressive education... educates the individual in terms of particular facts of the universe without reference to God, truth, or morality.”
