All women should be prepared to be able to work outside the home and support themselves through their own work. Higher education and technical education should be available to girls on an equal basis with boys to prepare them for the occupations of their choice. Because women are more likely to drop out of the workforce for extended periods to care for their children, educational facilities should be sensitive to women's need to update their skills or obtain education and training later in life. In this regard, the mature woman's experience in life, in volunteer work, and in the family should be taken into consideration in the granting of degrees and certificates of proficiency. The majority of the world's women will in the course of their lifetimes become mothers.
Mothers are the first educators of the human person.
The mother together with the father teach the baby to talk, guides the child's growth in moral and spiritual values, and teach the child the basic traditions of the community. Women are also responsible for the care of the home, the care of the sick and disabled within the family, service in the community, and the carrying on of cultural and religious traditions. Unfortunately, girls are often forced by economic constraints, domestic responsibilities and early marriage to limit their education. The home is the first school of virtues and the natural environment for initiating a human being into solidarity and communal responsibilities. Mothers and fathers in particular have an essential task in the formation of a sense of responsibility within the child.
