#1 Why don't the people begin executing Taliban? Educating women is the best investment a country can make in education because it is the women that teach the children when they are very young, even before they go to school.

It only takes a ball or round rock, a dark night, and a light source to teach a 5 year old about the phases of the moon in a way they can understand. Kids are always asking "why" and it is the women who spend the most time with them at that stage of their life. Education of women is key to developing a population that can understand the technical aspects of an industrial society such as basic mechanics.
