As PM Lee stated, ‘It does not matter what your background is. We make sure we identify you, we give you the opportunities and also the resources and the support so that if you succeed, you can do well for Singapore’ (Toh 2013). However, in my opinion, this ideology of equalised opportunities in education contributes to the worsening of social inequality. The late
population have faced the merciless side of inequality for
existence. In the United States I do not believe such a system is in full effect. There is a large margin of education inequality in America. Underserved and underprivileged young people are left behind due to improper fundings. These issues lead to more problems than simply what they are addressing. This repeating cycle of violence and inequality only breeds more violence and inequality.

Today, in some developing countries, this remains the same. Throughout this report, I will explore how and why many young girls in rural India are not receiving the same level of education as young boys, and outline a Sustainable Development Goal that could improve the situation. To begin, India has one of the lowest female literacy
