To be fair, that's not what it's actually saying. It's saying to invest in education in girls in areas where they traditionally do not receive education.

It's actually a very, very well known and proven economic strategy for improving developing (3rd world) economies. The economic return is the highest of any other investment that can be made. So, if you want the economy of, say, Afghanistan to improve, the easiest and cheapest way is female education.
