For a good society, the education for women is very important. You must have heard that if you want to make a society better, then educate your woman.
A woman nourishes her child well and also according to my and your experience, a woman spends more time at home with her child than father because the father is employed from morning to evening to feed his family well.
Secondly, many people take their women to a lady doctor for treatment and from that point of view, one woman can treat another woman only when she is well-educated. These two aspects that I mentioned shows how important it is for a woman to be educated.
Now let’s look at the next aspect. Unfortunately, many women find husbands who do not earn themselves. Instead, he sends his woman out to earn money and makes a living on her money. It’s a shame and a huge tragedy in our society and the number of such men is sufficient.
Secondly, if a woman’s husband becomes disabled or suffers from a serious illness and unable to earn money. So, if the woman is educated she can easily earn outside and support her children and husband and get better treatment for her husband.
If a woman is illiterate, she cannot go out for earning money. If the husband of an educated woman dies, she can well take care of herself and her children. Otherwise in both cases, one has to be dependent on others and this is not a good thing because we, the sinful humans, most of them oblige others and speak of favours conferred upon them.
Therefore, a conscious and considerate male will always educate his sisters, daughters, and wives because he would know the importance of education. And now education is very important not only for women, but also for boys and men in the present age and boys who get educated should be able to make themselves good for a better earning.
Boys who are not passionate about education should make themselves capable of earning well by improving their other skills.
One of the major tragedies of our society is that the poor people do not send their daughters, sisters and wives out for getting education but they send them out for earning money.
Women’s Empowerment Group once said: “Pakistan will become a developed a nation only when we spend more on our daughter’s education than on her marriage.”
