A graduate of Yale University, Bill Ryerson, a sociology specialist with strong interests in global sustainability, is the founder of the Population Media Center. William Ryerson served in the past as the CEO of the Population Institute, where he developed programs for students. Bill Ryerson, a human rights advocate, has previously created dramas at PMC that support education such as Getting the Best Out of Life.
Getting the Best Out of Life is a drama that engages people to learn about the importance of education and how a lack of education can destroy the life of a human being. Education is a fundamental human right as every human being should get the chance to learn and become the person they want to become. Education is an asset as it can help people make more informed decisions and make wise choices in their lives. In many developing countries, girls are denied from education for various reasons and because their education is not considered as important as boys education.
Research showcases that girls education is very important and that it is an effective way to end poverty or other social and health problems and challenges. After the creation of the drama in Ethiopia, the opinions and beliefs about girl education have shifted positively with 51 percent more men believing about its importance and approximately 20 percent more women.
