Educating Girl Is Not a Burden
A child’s education starts from his or her mother at home. In this context what Gandhiji said was true. For he said, “If you educate a man, you educate ah individual, but if you educate a woman, you educate an entire family”
In India, most people are not aware of women’s rights and thus they still think that girls are inferior to boys. The birth of a girl is not desired. It goes to the extreme of taking away the life of female fetus which we are not supposed to do.
The blame of bearing a female child is put on woman and thus she is ill-treated by her husband and in-laws but we know that the sex of the child is determined by the father.
According to the conservative estimates, prenatal sex determination and selective abortion accounts for 0.5 million missing girls every year. This has been going on for the last two decades.
There has been tremendous progress in the field of information technology, media, science, etc.
But unfortunately there has not been matching progress in the area of education of the girl child, or the rural adult women. Female literacy and education has a direct impact upon the overall development of a nation, and its population growth.
The UNESCO studies show that the female literacy in the developed countries is 96 per cent, in developing countries 55 per cent whereas in the least developed countries it is 27.9 per cent. Education plays a major part in the development of a nation.
Countries with high level of basic education do better economically. If India wants to be one of the developed nations it must concentrate on education and especially on female education. The root cause of all problems facing women is related to education.
If all women get educated, then all the problems like female infanticide, dowry, female suicides, domestic battering, malnutrition of women, child marriage and other related atrocities would get vanished from our country.
