FEMALE EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT

Access to education increases with women’s wealth. Also the higher the level of educational attainment the woman reaches, the less likely she is to be a victim of poverty. We have yet to achieve universal access primary education for all women in the country, which is why we ranked the states by the percentage of women who either do not have any primary school education or did not finish primary school. The states with the least percentage of women ranked higher.
