9. Ammu- 2 pathways? Path 1: Path 2:
She has two paths open to her – education or no education.
What would her life be like if she follows each path?
Listen to the paragraph and use drawings and labels to be able to relay this back to a partner.
You will be scored out of /5 for your accuracy.
Path 1:
If Ammu completes her education she is likely to marry a man with ‘good prospects’ and their children have a better chance of being healthy and staying on at school. Educated mothers tend to bring up healthier families. Through education, Ammu may be able to improve her earning capacity and family wealth – she may even control the household income and expenditure
Path 2:
If Ammu does not complete her education her life chances will be severely diminished. Being semi-literate, she will be limited to manual labour at minimal rates, and may have to migrate to find work. If she marries an educated man there is less chance of equality in the relationship. He is more likely to control the family's finances.
