Education, Gender and Democracy in Africa and the Middle East

Paper Summary:

The paper shows that if the majority of people in a society become educated it would stand to reason that conditions within that society would improve. If conditions and self awareness increase within that society, then there is most likely a chance that a rise in social improvements will follow. This paper shows how democracy would increase in the Middle East and North Africa if more attention would be given to gender and education equity.

From the Paper:

"When an individual gets an education, every aspect of his or her life can change. In general, with an advanced education, socioeconomic status improves. Many times, education can also lead to improved self-concept. It is difficult to convince someone that he or she is inherently inferior if that person has been taught otherwise. Theoretically, then, education can help individuals stand up and take responsibility for themselves, as well as teaching them to improve their own lives and the lives of others. What then, happens when a nation's population becomes more educated?"
