This decision by Burkina Faso's Ibrahim Traore government to replace beauty pageantry with science proficiency competition by female students is significant. Especially for a very poor country in need of local manpower in tech.
This will not only encourage the girl-child education in the country but also stir healthy academic excellence.
Beauty pageantry may be good for tourism but rewarding academic excellence is much better for a country that wants to promote the girl-child education and also in need of technical manpower.

Beauty pageantry should not be stopped entirely.
