Education isn’t just about books—it’s about rewriting futures 🌍. CGTN’s new documentary series ‘Her Education, Our Future’ dives into groundbreaking efforts to empower girls and women worldwide, starting with UNESCO’s 2023 Girls’ and Women’s Education Prize winners: China’s Spring Bud Project and Pakistan’s Star School Project.
From Tibetan Plateaus to Guangxi Mountains 🏔️
The first episode takes viewers to Sichuan, where Tibetan girls defy geographical barriers to pursue education, and to Guangxi’s Rongshui mountains, home to the resilient Hongyao girls’ class. Through intimate storytelling, the series reveals how communities turn classrooms into launchpads for dreams.
Why It Matters 💡
UNESCO’s award—the only one globally focused on girls’ education—highlights how these projects combat inequality. Over 30 years, Spring Bud has supported 4M+ girls in the Chinese mainland, while Pakistan’s initiative tackles gender gaps in STEM. The docs blend data with heart—think ‘Turning Red’ meets ‘He Named Me Malala’ vibes.
Streaming soon, this series is a must-watch for anyone who believes pencils can outpower barriers ✏️🌏.
