Unequal Education

In chapter two, it is expressed to us, the readers, that in Tambu's home, education is not distributed equally among the children. The oldest male of the family is gifted the ability to go to school and study under a teacher. The younger and female siblings get cheated out of this and must stay home and work. I find that it is unfair that these privileges are divided by age and gender and am thankful that we all get to go to school and get such a wonderful education.
Think about what our world would be like today if only the oldest of male of the family got to attend school. In my family, I would be able to go to school, but my younger twin sister would have to stay home. This would not only leave her uneducated, but it would put her at a disadvantage for the rest of her life in getting a job, fulfilling a productive life, and being able to take care of a family. I wish that children everywhere could be as fortunate as us in being able to get a good education.
