Female
education is very essential for the overall development of a nation. More or
less half of the population of a country is female. Leaving the female
uneducated and unemployed, no nation can prosper. That‘s why female education
has been a crying need of the day. Once women were confined within the four
walls of the house and were used to doing only household chores. At that time,
they were deprived of the light of education because of the prejudice,
unconsciousness, superstition, social backwardness, prejudiced outlook, social
barrier, obstacle by the fundamentalists and so on. But now it has changed a
lot and women are getting educated gradually. In our country about 7 corer
people are women out of 14 corer in total. But most of the women are lagging far
behind in education. The rate of female literacy is about 20%. This rate of
female literacy is alarming because without their education, our satisfactory development
is impossible. Napoleon Bonaparte said, ―Give me an educated mother and I will
give you an educated nation‖. From this line we can easily realist the
importance of female education. Women need to be educated for different
reasons. To be a conscious citizen of the country, to be an active member of
the family and society, to be a good mother or wife and to lead a self-reliant
better life, a woman should be educated properly. Besides, educated women have
higher income potential than those who have had no schooling. Many people
consider women inferior to men. But it is their wrong concept. Except the biological
difference, a girl has every capacity to work and to achieve high position in
life as a man can.
