THE United States’ (US) First Lady Michelle Obama told girls in Liberia on Monday to fight to remain in school and get an education, as she visited the west African country where the vast majority drop out because of financial pressure.

Obama launched her “Let Girls Learn” education initiative last year and has since travelled the globe to call for greater support for the millions of girls kept away from school or forced to abandon their studies.
