Here are some idea:
. Take away the stigma that is placed on those who go to college and more girls might pursue a degree instead of running to get married before they hit 20. Only so many teaching and therapist positions exist. The degree will only help them earn a parnassah so that their husbands can sit and learn even longer.
. Another year of schooling for girls? Yes, it is another year of tuition, but does it cost any more than the monthly support they would fork over to a son in law if their daughter got married at 19?
