Since the 1970s,the issue of women's education has gradually attracted the attention of all countries in the world.With the appeal of the United Nations,governments have gradually raised the problem of women's education to the national strategic level.In the United States,NGOs actively carry out education activities for women and promote the development of women education.Since 1960s,American NGOs began to pay attention to the education of women,require all people to have equal opportunities for education,rise the feminist movement,and resolutely defend the rights of women,establish the foundations to raise funds,regularly publish the women's living condition and set up education service project,etc.They tried to free women from the notion of inequality and the poor living environment.This study mainly used the literature method and comparative study method.Starting with the current situation of women's education activities by American NGOs,the study combined with the development of women's education background,summed up the effect of American NGOs on women's education activities,analyzed the shortcomings and development trend of American NGOs in carrying out education activities and also put forward some thoughts and suggestions on the development of education for China.According to the study,American NGOs carried out the following seven aspects of the education activities:the first is to encourage women to participate in politics and increase women's political participation;the second is to promote gender equality and safeguard the legitimate rights for American women;the third is to hold education project to improve the cultural quality of American women;the fourth is to organize meetings to promote the study and communication of women members;the fifth is to raise funds from various sources and provide women education funds;the sixth is to publish reports to improve the level of American women's research;the seventh is to call on people to protect women and influence government's legislation and decision.At the same time,there are still some shortcomings.For example,the content of women's education is one-sided,the degree of women's access to online education resources is limited,the vulnerable women are still at a disadvantage position in education and the implementation of supervision on women's education policy needs to be strengthened.The American NGOs in the future will put more emphasis on women's education development in the field of STEM and pay more attention to education of vulnerable women.The politicisation of women education is deepening,women's online education resources construction will be further strengthened,the influence and participation on women's related laws will be gradually improved.
