Activity 1: Listen and read
Equal opportunities in education 
Quang: OK, let`s see what information we have found on our topic.
Minh: Please go ahead, Quang.
Quang: Well, according to a United Nations report, sub-Saharan Africa had only 82 girls enrolled per 100 boys in secondary school in 2010. I suppose this is an example of gender discrimination in education.
Lan: Yes, I agree. Not all girls can go to school. I guess they may be kept home to do housework.
Quang: Sure. In rural areas, girls might be forced to work at home and in the fields.
Minh: Some people say that girls perform worse at school than boys, so they shouldn`t be allowed to go to school.
Quang: I`m afraid I disagree. I think girls do better at school than boys and more women than men have college degrees.
Lan: Exactly. In Viet Nam, there are slightly more boys than girls in both primary and secondary schools, but more women than men earn college degrees.
Minh: I believe gender discrimination in education starts at home because parents treat boys and girls differently.
Quang: I couldn`t agree more. Gender discriminaion should be eliminated so that everyone has equal opportunities in education.
