THEME: Girls’ Education: Our Story, Our Catholic Achievement, Our Future, The Role of the Student Representative Council (SRC)

Axim Catholic Senior High School invited lady (Mrs). Judith Swanzy Adjei Who is the founder of The Complete Woman Foundation.

She indicated that she is deeply grateful to the school authorities for extending this special invitation to her as a guest speaker for the school’s SRC Week Celebration. Indeed, education for the girl child is crucial for fostering equality and empowerment.

She added that It opens doors to opportunities that can transform lives and communities. Globally, girls face numerous barriers to education, including socio-economic factors, cultural norms, and safety concerns. By prioritizing girls’ education, we are not only equipping them with knowledge and skills but also challenging societal norms that restrict their potential. Educated girls are more likely to become active participants in society, advocate for their rights, and contribute positively to their communities.

She also stretched on Education for girls which has been a powerful catalyst for change in the lives of women. It enables women to invest more in their families, promoting health and education for the next generation, and achieving financial independence by securing better job opportunities and earning higher incomes.

Mrs Judith Swanzy said the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals emphasize the importance of quality education for all, recognizing that investing in girls’ education is key to achieving broader developmental goals. As more girls complete their education, we can expect a ripple effect that leads to healthier families, reduced poverty rates, and a stronger economy.

That the Student Representative Council (SRC) plays a vital role in promoting girls’ education. It can serve as a platform for advocacy, awareness, and engagement on issues related to girls’ education. Mentorship initiatives, leadership workshops, and collaboration with schools, communities, and organizations can help create a supportive environment that encourages girls to pursue their education and many other opportunities.

In her conclusion remarks,that by focusing on these key areas, we can work towards a future where every girl has the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve her dreams. Together, we can ensure that every girl’s story is one of success and achievement.
I am very grateful to the leadership of the school.
