In The Half The Sky by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn

1.) What insights did education in Vietnam give you about the status of women and girl’s education around the world? What information surprised you the most?

2.) What role does education play in your life? Did you experience any challenges gaining access to education or college? Did boys and girls in your community face different educational challenges? How did your experience compare to that of the women in the film?

3.) Do wealthy countries have a responsibility to help poor countries improve access to and quality of education for girls? Why or Why not? What more could or should the United States do? What do you think is the best way for you and the members of your community to help?

4.) What are some of the ways we can try to improve girl’s education around the world?

Don’t forget to include two scholarly articles based on Education in how it corresponds to the book. Also make sure to add page numbers for the book Half The Skys
