WOMEN EDUCATION
Education has been of central significance to the development of
human society. It can be the beginning, not only of individual knowledge,
information and awareness, but also a holistic strategy for development and
change. Education is very much
connected to women's ability to form social relationships on the basis of
equality with others and to achieve the important social good of self-respect.
It is important, as well, tomobility (through access to jobs and the
political process) and to health and life (through the connection to bodily
integrity). Education can allow women to participate in politics so they can
ensure that their voices and concerns are heard and addressed in the public
policy. It is also crucial for women's access to the legal system. Although, it must be taken in
consideration that religion and traditions of the Pakistani have an impact on
women's education. Some women may choose to keep the traditional roles because
that's what they've always known and are used to. It would be a great
opportunity if women were able to make their choice on their own though. They
should at least have the knowledge of both sides to be educated or to stay with
the traditional ways.
Education is a critical input in human resource
development and essential for the country's economic growth. It increases the productivity and efficiency of individuals, and
it produces a skilled labor force that is capable of leading the economy
towards sustainable growth and prosperity. The progress and wellbeing of a
country largely depends on the education choices made available to its people.
It can be one of the most powerful instruments of change. It can help a country
to achieve its national goals via producing minds imbued with knowledge, skills,
and competencies to shape its future destiny. The widespread recognition of
this fact has created awareness on the need to focus upon literacy and
elementary education, not simply as a matter of social justice but more to foster economic growth,
social well-being, and social stability. Women's education is so inextricably
linked with the other facets of human development that to make it a priority is
to also make change on a range of other fronts; from the health and status of
women to early childhood care; from nutrition, water and sanitation to
community empowerment; from the reduction of child labor and other forms of exploitation to
the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
