Importance of Girl Child Education
It is a common sense that man and woman depend on each other
for their survival. Unfortunately, common sense have become a rare sense in our
country. Otherwise, there is no reason why people should look down upon the girl child. Girls
become mothers who look after their children. Now an educated mother cannot
keep her children from school. Therefore, it has been rightly said that when
you educate a girl, you educate an entire family. May be, the Mughal and the
British rule had something to do with it. The girl had to be protected. Then
there is a belief that the family tree will continue only by a son. A boy is
expected to earn money while a daughter needs a dowry in the marriage. Now
people understand it better. Girls are also earning. They have brought laurels
in every field of life. Whatever, they have been given a chance they have
proved their worth. They have become greater teachers, soldiers and
politicians. The education of the girls is therefore in the interest of the
society. The educated girls become educated guardians of their families. So
let’s think How can an uneducated woman do so?
Ultimately, it is not difficult to understand why we are
still a backward country. The main reason is our uneducated women- folk. Some
bad tradition like dowry will also disappear with the education of the girls.
It is said that Educated a men, you educate only one person- an individual.
Educated a female, you educate a family- an institution. An educated mother has
a sobering, soothing and civilizing effect on her children. So the education of
a woman is more important than the education of a man. No nation can think of
its balance development if the women are illiterate. They cannot move about
with confidence. They can be easily duped and exploited. No child can extract
undue money from his educated mother by asking for fifty rupees to buy Indian
ocean. An educated mother knows what is Indian ocean and it cannot be bought.
The child cannot be fool her. Likewise she cannot be dodged by the children
pretending to be studying while actually reading undesirable or irrelevant
books. On the other hand they can check their undesired activities.
Gone are the days when women considered themselves a weaker. Today, they are neither weak nor inferior. Even in our films and T.V serials, they are no longer presented as the tragedy queens. They are the chief characters. This is what happens in real life. Women occupy very high positions in politics, industry and education. Their position is so remarkable improved that in near future, they might begin to be called the stronger than other. They are enjoying all rights of equality. Nay, they are more than equal because their complaints are heard sooner. Modern woman has a lot of self-respect and confidence. The nation is indeed proud of her women folk. But in somehow there is lack of education because of this the backward people cannot aware of it and they don’t prefer to educate a girl child. But this is not good sign of the Nation. So we must change our attitude and give the girl child her due-education and support.
