Answer:
The passage best supports the statement that
educated women are the best and first teachers for the children that they bear and nurture.
Explanation:
In every society where the women receive equal access to education, the literacy level is always higher than in other societies where the women are relegated to the background in education. The women are mostly mothers. As mothers, they are the first teachers that their children learn from. Since one cannot give what they do not have, if the mothers (women) are not educated, there is no reasonable expectation for their children to be educated. This is because the cradle of education starts from the breast and the home. Naturally, women are dominant in these areas. Therefore, we must encourage and empower our women to be educated so that they can impart knowledge to the children.
