IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN EDUCATION IN NEPAL

WHAT IS EDUCATION?

Education means knowledge and abilities required for the all round development of human beings. It is believed to be the light of knowledge that changes the dark world into the glistering bright one. It is considered the real foundation of personal, social, national, and international development. So it is essential to provide all women with education.

IMPORTANCE AND CHALLENGES OF WOMEN EDUCATION

Education determines the fate of a person, a society or a country. It is the only medium that can lead a society or country to the top of success and progress. For this both men and women should be equally educated so that they can equally contribute to the well-being of nation. As they are considered to be the two wheels of the same cart, a society or country cannot progress in absence of any of them. Unfortunately, most of the women in Nepal are still far away from the light of education. Therefore, it is essentially important to highlight women education to build new Nepal. In our society, women have secondary roles to play. They have to give birth to the baby, look after them, cook food, wash dishes and clothes, and collect firewood and so on. They are treated as objects that are possessed by males. They are considered to be decorating things for a house. They are not allowed to go out of their houses. They are believed to be safe inside the houses. Parents do not like to send their daughters to schools or colleges. They think spending money in education is useless. Instead, they are trained to do household work. Due to poverty, social traditions, lack of education etc. most of the women are still uneducated in our country. Then, how can the new Nepal be fulfilled unless they are educated?

IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN EDUCATION IN FAMILY AND COUNTRY

It is very essential to highlight women education from all sectors of the society. Only then, our nation can flourish economically, politically, culturally and socially. It is believed that the whole family gets educated if it has an educated woman. She can educate her children and show good path to them. She can share joys and sorrows of her family members. She can provide better decision. Like, men, women can work in all walks of life and contribute. In short, as a cart cannot move on one wheel, a country cannot progress and develop without the equal participation of both men and women.

Nepal just have been the loktantrik state with the aim of empowering all people ensuring their equal space in state affair. It is the prime duty of the government to develop access of all women to education.
