Education for Women
Or Female Education
OUTLINE:
(For BA Students)
1. In this modern age, education
plays an important role in cultivating the mind of both men and women.
2. The people who oppose
female education have narrow and limited minds.
3. Education for women is
necessary on many grounds.
4. Man and women are the two
wheels of the carriage of life. Education plays an important role in running
this carriage smoothly.
5. An educated woman is a
blessing to her husband, a good mother to her children and sincere worker to
society.
6. The development and
progress of the country depend on female education.
Female
education is very important for the progress of any nation. Education in the modern
age has become very vital both for men and women. The progress of a country
depends on literacy. If literacy rate is low in a country, it remains backward
and under developed. In the case of Pakistan, the literacy rate is alarmingly
low. As some-one has wisely said,
“Young women who want education should not be stopped.”
People
living in villages do not educate their girls. The feudal lords have prejudice
against educating their daughters. There are numberless villages in Pakistan
where the arrangements for the primary education of girls simply do not exist.
No-one can deny the significance and benefits of education. It develops the
inherent and latent faculties of man.
As
Mahatma Gandhi has wisely said,
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live
forever.”
Without
it, man remains in the darkness of ignorance and cannot make much progress. But
it is strange that the persons, who advocate male education, want to deny this
privilege to the women. This one sided and partial attitude is quite
unjustified. If we examine the arguments of the critics of female education, we
find that they are based on superstitions and prejudices.
“A state that does
not educate and train women is like
a man who only trains his right arm.”
They
argue that women are inferior to men in intelligence and so they are not fit
for education. Moreover, they fear that if women are educated, they will refuse
to do “domestic work.” Both of their fears have been proved false by women.
Women are not inferior to men in intelligence. This has been proved by the
women of every country.
“Education is everything; education is your power,
Education is your way in life for whatever you want to
do.”
Moreover,
educated women do domestic work more skillfully than the uneducated ones. First,
there are many benefits of educating women in all the developed countries of
the world. Women play an active and important part in the life of their
nations. In the last World War, they did wonderful work. This had been possible
on account of their education. As some-one has wisely said,
“When girls are educated,
Their countries become stronger and more prosperous.”
How can
any nation progress when half of its population i.e. women are ignorant and uneducated.
An educated woman proves a better wife and better mother. She can look after
the household affairs in a better way. In critical and hard times, she can come
out of her home and can be of use for her family and nation. As some-one has
wisely said,
“The goal of
female education must invariably be the future mother.”
Secondly,
an educated woman is a blessing for her home and society. She is fully aware of
her duties as a citizen of the state. She understands her responsibility for her
family and the country. Thirdly, an educated woman proves, a good mother to her
children. She can inculcate good ideas in their minds. She can make her
children good citizens of the state. Once Nepoleon said,
“Give me good mothers and I shall give you a good
nation.”
Uneducated
mothers have a simple and credulous mind. They do not have elementary medical
knowledge so greatly essential for the health of their children. The mortality (death)
rate of infants among the uneducated mothers is very alarming. Educated mothers
will give the nation healthy, enlightened and decently brought up children. The
Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“Paradise lies under the feet of a mother.”
Fourthly,
an educated woman can prove a sincere and loyal wife to her husband. She
creates an understanding with him, which is very essential for the married
life. She is refined and cultured. In the time of trial, she can become an
earnings hand for her husband. We can say that female education is necessary
for the economic development of our country.
As
Ruskin has rightly said,
“A true wife in her husband's house is his servant,
It is in his heart that she is queen.”
