Education
is a light to which everybody has the equal right.
Education is the backbone of a nation. The prosperity of a country mainly
depends on the education of her population. About fifty percent of the total
population of a country is female. A country cannot expect her prosperity
avoiding this large part of population.
No nation can progress without educated mothers. Allah
has created both man and woman equally. They are like the two sides of a coin.
One is incomplete without the other. It should be imparted equally to both men
and women. Our religion has also made education compulsory for all.
Every
woman is a potential mother. Mothers’ women play an important part in moulding
the character of their children. Education of a child greatly depends upon its
mother.
An
educated mother would able to bring up better than an uneducated mother. A
mother exercises an undeniable
influence in the formation of children’s character and in shaping their future
destiny.
Lives of many great men of the world show that their greatness was
due to their mother’s influence.
The
role of women is making a home an abode of peace and happiness is great. A good
housewife is an asset to the entire family. She can keep accounts; control and
guide servants and take initiative in many domestic matters. She can maintain
the discipline of the house.
In conjugal life a
women can help her husband. For this purpose a women has to be educated. An
educated wife can take an active part and help her husband in the greater filed
of action.
In the past, our
women folk were confined within the four walls of home. Parents did not allow
them to receive education.
An educated husband can never have free exchange of ideas with an
ignorant wife. Life would be dull and unhappy for them. Frequent quarrels may
result from such a lack of understanding. So female education is essential from
this point of view.
Parents also
thought it waste of time and money to educate their girls. They did not
understand that if girl children were educated they could be as competent as
male children.
Early marriage,
religious misinterpretation and the narrowness of our outlook created bar to
the path of education.
All necessary steps should be taken to encourage universal female
education. Education for girls up to degree level has been made free with a
monthly stipend. More schools and colleges for girls are being set up to spread
female education. If a mother is not educated, the child is not taken care of
properly. So, all of us should come forward to spread female education.
We need good wives and good mothers to make our nation great. It
are a matter of great delight that women have started to come out of their
cocoons. Being educated, they are advancing forward and joining a wide range of
professions. They have already been able to prove their abilities.
They are also
becoming successful in establishing themselves in every arena. They have become
successful in exposing their talent in politics. They are becoming self-dependent
day by day.
There are some people who
are strongly opposed to the female education. They think that women’s only duty
is to do household affairs, rearing children and ministering to the comforts of
there male partners. For this reason they say it is useless to educate
women.
We cannot think of the
progress of our country avoiding our female. So all necessary steps should be
taken to encourage female education for the survival of our country. It is a
matter of joy that our government has already taken different steps for the
expansion of female education.
